And then the main reason for the last election becomes center stage.....

Anthony M. Kennedy will retire on July 31st 2018.

I'm guessing that 60% of the American population aren't quite sure who he is.

60% might be a tad bit off....give or take 5 to ten percent.

I have to assume that if you are reading this article than you know exactly who Mr. Kennedy is and you are either very disturbed or extremely excited. (While I might not have a large audience I do know that my readers pay attention to social-political matters)

This is not a neutral subject matter.

When one stops and remembers that 40% of the eligible voters don't participate in a Presidential election then it makes perfect sense that MOST of those people cannot name the Supreme Court Justices.  Now add the people who do vote but only vote every four years and could care less about how the rest of the government operates.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION CAN NAME THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE?

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION CAN NAME THE HEAD OF THE EPA?

The appointment of a Supreme Court Justice is the most important result of a Presidential Election and after that fiasco during Obama's last seven months in office where his appointee didn't get a chance to even be questioned and Trump got Gorsuch within the first year of his administration......after all that, NOW HE GETS ANOTHER PICK and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sick.

The most interesting thing about Anthony Kennedy is that he was a Ronald Reagan appointee but looking at his record it was often hard to tell that he was put there by an right wing President.
Many pundits think that we was a left leaning Justice because he coauthored the Rowe vs Wade ruling, eliminated the death penalty for juveniles and also supported the right of same sex couples to be married........
.........and now those same pundits are joyfully anticipating another nomination by President Trump that will officially shift the Supreme Court into the RIGHT WING column of social responsibility.

Now stop and think about RBG being 85 and the reality very clearly shows that Donald J. Trump could have THREE picks during his first three years in office.   If he somehow manages to win in 2020 (I'm now officially sick) he could have another pick if Steven Breyer, 79, resigns.

AMERICA is about to shift in ways that MOST PEOPLE can't even conceive.

I'm sorry...but I just vomited all over my desk, my computer keyboard and any reading material close at hand.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS
and
90 percent of Republicans still support Donald J. Trump and will vote for him in 2020.

IF DEMOCRATS CAN'T RISE UP AND MAKE THEIR PRESENCE FELT BY 2020 THAN

GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

What we need is a person who verbalizes what America truly stands for and once more shows us that dignity and grace of leadership outweighs verbal boosting and obvious narcissistic behavior.

Attacking the current Administration is the responsibility of the public....... 

Whoever represents the Democratic Party in 2020 has to speak on a higher level that goes well beyond the attack mode of a normal election campaign.

WE NEED SOMEONE LIKE
ABE LINCOLN or ROBERT F. KENNEDY

How hard can that be?


Probably about as hard as making a monkey fly out of yours or my....ass.

I wished I had better news.....but go back to yesterday's post and watch the boys from Australia.....nothing quite feels like great rock and roll and nobody does great rock and roll better than AC/DC.


For those about to VOTE.....I salute you!
