Whether Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders wins in November they should commit to naming Barack Obama to the next available Supreme Court vacancy.
#3
Consider the possibilities of President Obama appointing a Harvard constituional law profeesor to the Supreme Court (himself). He certainly is qualified. The Rebublicans want him out of the White House and Joe Biden gets at least a short term as President.

Republicans had their turn with SCOTUS.
Republicans are complaining about a lifetime Obama appointee on the Supreme Court. That's the way it works, we endured nearly 30 years of Scalia law; the Republicans had their turn. To the Republicans we need to say what Scalia said about Bush v. Gore; "get over it!!!"

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Putting Homeless people in foreclosed housing and eventually "selling" the houses to them might help to end homelessness.
