Yeah, Friday was fantastic. The same Supreme Court that crowned
George Bush President in 2000 and declared corporations were people came
through in a very big way on Friday. In
one day, this Court with a conservative majority declared same-sex marriage legal
in all states, knocked down another challenge to the Affordable Care Act and
helped strengthen fair housing discrimination protections. It’s like the
Mississippi River changed course for a day. Unbelievable.
Of course, the heads of Scalia, Thomas and everyone at FOX
News are still exploding and it’s a beautiful sight to see. After fifteen years
of Bush and Bush’s legacy under Obama, those of us on the Left finally have
something to cheer about. And on top of
everything else, Bernie Sanders is proving to be a viable candidate for
President.
We have to savor the taste of victory while we can, because the Supreme
Court still has a conservative majority, Obama is getting his way on TPP and we
are still following a failed Middle East policy. But for a day or two, we can
cheer our successes and thank all of those Americans who actively pushed,
agitated and demonstrated for these major steps forward.
