Kudos to the American public

Speaker Pelosi acknowledged that people’s speaking up to their representatives and to others helped bring a resolution. I think she also was buoyed by the polling that showed the majority of Dems and Independents blamed Trump and the Republicans for the shutdown and did not support the wall. While Trump and his base are too arrogant and/or stupid to understand what this means for Republican chances in 2020, enough Republicans probably saw what the future held if this continued.

Now, if only we could get enough people to express outrage about Mitch’s stacking the courts at all levels...

But I don't think there's ANY way to slow Mitch's full court press assault on our Judiciary. Hope I'm proven wrong.
