I appreciate your honesty, that you agree this ruling is horrifying. I also understand what you are trying to do vis-a-vis find solutions.
See, it is difficult for a person to embrace ennui. We yearn to hope. We reject hopelessness even when our senses show us it is the only possible conclusion.
The bar has been set and moved so many times. "If only we get a Republican House", and the 1994 Revolution happened. "If only we get the White House" and Dubya was elected. "If only we get the White House, the Senate, and the House", and we did.
The Constitution was still steadily whittled away.
Now, I am told "if only we get a 62 seat GOP majority in the senate".... I'm sorry, I just cannot buy it any more.
