Well, they sure snatched a loss from the jaws of victory. Thank you, SCOTUS, the democratic national committee could not have done it better! It's like your enemy lays down his weapons and says, "Hey, I'm good." Talk about winning the battle but losing the war.
According to an NBC News Poll, 63% of Americans do not want to overturn Roe v. Wade, while only 30% do, with 7% not sure. That sounds like a clear majority to me, but hey, it's not about the majority right, it's about the law...right?
Uh, not so sure on that one. See, every year this is a new court that sits in October and scatters for speaking engagements in June. Some of the faces may change but, the court is still the court, for that session. So essentially, we've had 49 (count them, forty-nine) courts that left Roe v. Wade in place because of the precedence it set and the legality of its argument within the law. Suddenly (in the blink of a Trump wink), it is critical to reverse this half-a-century old law RIGHT NOW. It must be some kind of coincidence that it just happens to be when 1/3 of the court is seated with Trump appointees, two of which were illegally installed.
How we got here means less than where we go from here. First, when we are handed a blessing, take it and run. So, six individuals from the Supreme Court gave 63% of this country the middle finger, now what do we do? Give it back. We ensure that every democratic voter gets their voice heard. We drive our elderly and disabled to polls, we vote in the primaries and the general election in droves. We send one voice that WE are unified and choose to say no to political corruption, racism and disrespect to minorities.
Senator Rick Scott has established a republican platform that "sunsets" Social Security and Medicare, he doesn't even deny this. Do you think they care about the average American's financial woes and struggles? They are willing to tank all legislation that will enable us to dig ourselves out of the financial mess we are dealing with right now because they can pin it on Biden and the democrats. Let me rephrase that, "They want this country to tank just so they can blame it on the democrats and get back into power." What a sick bunch of individuals.
There have never been more reasons to solidify the democratic party. We'd better unite this time, or we will forever be lost to an autocratic political system hates the poor that they helped create and a system that is led by the few. I don't want to tell my grandchildren that we lost democracy because we were too lazy. Let's take the American flag back and return it to the proud, the law-abiding Americans that is stands for, before it's too late.
Sincerely,
