My hat is doffed, sir. And the sad fact is, we either get active now, or we'll be forced to action later.

You covered a lot of territory and did it well - anyone who knows how to use ee Cummings in a commentary such as yours deserves ample applause. Here's a little, I think hope:

Let's drink to when we meet

I'll be waiting on the corner

I appreciate the call to hope/action. My depression over the Court's fall (its nadir, one hopes) inclined me to inaction. But that is not who I am. And I thank you for your help.

Winning this election is but a necessary step in continuing efforts.

How many administrations will we see wherein a president, before taking a despicable action, starts with "As part of my official duties as president, I hereby..."?
