4. How best to marginalize the supreme court

I don't have an answer for this. Should we let insane state laws stay on the books for now? Keep SC challenges to a bare minimum. I think the priorities become this year's mid-terms, then 2020. We have to win. And we have to win at the state level. Winning at the state level keeps the crazy state laws that we challenge down to a minimum of crazy faux-religious states that may go so far they energize people to either vote for change or move.

Thomas is in his 70's. Alito is in his late 60's.

Of course Breyer and Ginsburg are in their 80's.

I don't wish I'll health on anyone. But I think it's important to not give up. The next president could, over an 8 year period, have 4 opportunities to appoint justices.

When he was in his 80's the poet Robert Frost was asked what he had learned about life. He said all he had learned could be stated in three words: It goes on.

And so shall we go on. Things will improve as long as we keep trying.
