discuss this a couple of days ago. My stomach turns over to think about a very young idiotic type of Scalia being appointed in 2019 by one of the clowns in the car. And it can happen very easily. The clowns are backed by more money than we can imagine. Their ads will be hate filled and full of anger and vicious lies like we have seen and will be discussing here in 12 months. It will be a very ugly campaign, and we must, yes, must be together..if we are going to have a decent chance of winning.

I am not downing or making less of the arguments and points made here, but these two words, Supreme Court, are perhaps more important ..thanks for reading this..
