Keep Awake! -Mark 13:33

Mr. Dooley said that the Supreme Court follows the election returns. He didn’t mean on a two or four year cycle, but following the appointments of justices. Thomas has been on the Court since Bush pere appointed him. The election returns have bent toward conservatives (Republicans) ever since.

We can stay awake on church/state separation all we want. But we slept for forty years, and only if we wake up  now (why do you think the architect of the Court, Leonard Leo, denounces “woke”? And yet he’d resent being called a racist, even though he wants to return to a pre-Civil Rights era) can we shape the future. But not by worrying about what this Court will do (that course is set). We have to wake up to shaping the Court, and the government, that we want.

The future is where the fight is now. The Supreme Court follows the election returns. Slowly; but it does.
