Of the topics raised in John Paul Stevens' 2014 book, "Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution," the issue of gerrymandering seems most important to me. The related issues that you list go hand in hand with that.

My friend Rubin Carter often noted that "no dam ever built today can hold back waters already spilt." While we should have, as the Democratic Party, addressed those issues in 2004 (actually, well before), we cannot change the past. And we can only impact the future by way of what actions we take now.

So yes, I absolutely agree that we need a wide focus.
