force some reforms to the constitution through the states: voting rights, deny corporate personhood, define speech as things other than money (erase Scalia's stain on the nation).

Otherwise we are facing a long slow climb just to get back to "normal". A former EPA employee told me 2 years ago (so I suspect there has been more damage) that it would take 50 years to return to where we were due to the cumbersome nature of the rule making process and working things through the courts.

We don't have 50 years to wait.
