The Good Old Boys

9/23/2020

 
These good old boys are our Founding Fathers; they are so because of their prescience in creating a system of checks and balances that protects us from being at the mercy of the Rogue (former Republican) Party.
 
The Constitution grants power to Congress to overturn Supreme Court decisions in wondrous ways.
 
We can amend the Constitution.  Not an easy task but it can be done.  The 26th Amendment was passed in a matter of months and overturned a Court decision, thus establishing a national voting age of 18.
 
Congress can rewrite legislation that negates a Supreme Court decision. The 1991 Civil Rights Act reversed multiple Supreme Court decisions and broadened rulings on workers’ rights and employment discrimination.
 
Congress can rectify past rulings of the Court by enacting new legislation.  They could pass a new DACA law that explicitly protects Dreamers.
They could easily write a bill that corrects the flaws in the Affordable Care Act.  They could explicitly protect a woman’s right to choose. 
 
We are not helpless but we must capture control of the Senate, maintain control of the House and win the Presidency.  A tall order but it can be done.
 
Vote. Exercise your power. You are not at the mercy of Donald Trump or the Rogue Party or a conservative court. The power is in your ballot. Exercise it and you can right this ship after all.
