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:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Putting Homeless people in foreclosed housing and eventually "selling" the houses to them might help to end homelessness.
