1. Will be overturned, lower court ruling meaning nothing except to the nothing right wing fanatics.

2. this is why the 2016 Presidential election matters so much.

Do you want a Repuke appointing conservative, bigoted judges, or a Democrat appointing liberal-leaning judges? I'll take the Democrat any day of the week, no matter who that Democrat is.

[UTUSN]

3. You got it nailed. "no matter who that Dem is." I've had my personal druthers but have supported

every nominee from any Dem wing. I've had a lifetime of NOBLE Dems who lost, starting with watching my mother and elder sister cry over Adlai's 2nd loss (my mother's heritage with Dem losing went back to Al SMITH), and went on with my own share of fissures of the heart with my own NOBLE losers and in my older age got galvanized knowing that NOBLE losers get nothing, only a WINNER, no matter how mediocre short of criminality, has a legacy, being thousands of appointments of judges and grunt policy makers and enforcers, who can be in a critical time and place years down the line.
