Gorsuch Is The First Serious Shot at Roe v. Wade.

President Donald Trump picked Neil Gorsuch for his Supreme Court justice to replace Antonin Scalia. But if confirmed, will he follow the hardline conservative’s legacy? ‘America’s Lawyer‘ host Mike Papantonio joins ‘News With Ed’, saying that Gorsuch will follow suit on abortion rights, the Second Amendment, oil companies, big pharma and more.

Need to keep lots of foam core on hand - because I will be needing so many different signs for so many different causes. SAD

Is the culmination of the last 30 yrs that republicans and the religious right have been grooming and positioning people and policies to put them in a place where they can undo everything progressives have strived for going back to the social fabric of the New Deal with FDR, civil, voting, women's rights as well as protections put in place by departments such as Labor/FDA/HUD/EPA...etc.

Hopefully people are starting to wake up. The protests are a good start but it is going to be a long fight. Republicans have worked too hard for too long to get to this point and stop now...
