The fact that this hasn't been done for 95 years only heightens its impact. Are you listening Congress? Are you listening Supreme Court justices? We need FEDERAL laws, and we need them now.

As for me, when my Times arrives tomorrow morning, I will cut out the editorial with my trusty scissors and save it. I hope I don't have to show it to my grandchildren to tell them how we tried back in 2015, but nothing was done.
