"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead
As a nation we should remember this. What smaller group of citizens has the authority to make changes to our world than the Supreme Court. The fight between Obama and Clinton, the two leading contenders for the Democratic nomination, has started to look like a school yard brawl. Both candidates are throwing barbs and trading punches. Whatever the outcome though, we need to remember that they are both Democrats. Either of them would make an excellent president. And either of them would guard against a continued shift of the Supreme Court to the right.
After the convention, when one or the other has been chosen, we Democrats must come together and ensure that a Democrat wins the presidency. If we are Obama supporters and Clinton wins or if we are Clinton supporters and Obama wins, we have to stop insisting that our candidate would have been better. We've got to rally around the cause and make sure that a Democrat is seated in the White House. Otherwise, we could find ourselves facing a Supreme Court that becomes untenably tilted to the right. And with it, we would see many of our hard won freedoms, and freedoms yet to come, left on the pages of the history books.
