After Primaries Over, Two Words We Must Never Forget, "Supreme Court" ..... #1 [View all]

This is a reminder. Not the first or the last. Do we want another Scalia or Thomas?

Or, do we want another Ginsberg?. .What is it going to be? We will decide and those around us will decide.

After Primaries Over, are we going to hate each other so much, that we will get more like Scalia? or Thomas?

or will we come together to make sure there is another young bright Ginsberg to fight the good fight, and overturn Citizens United ?

This has begun and will continue for 13 more months. Keep these two words in mind, when we start to hate each other for reasons which could destroy our chances 13 months from now.....SUPREME COURT...

Reminder number one, there will be many more..
