"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Perhaps a system that provides parents affordable childcare, funded schools, extracurriculars, healthcare, and helped the parents to then be present at home would lead to well-rounded citizens in our society.

Or, we could make some private prison owners richer and cut taxes for the wealthy.

There’s that special age when you stay up past your bedtime reminiscing by listening to music you loved 20 years ago that actually came out 40 years ago. They call it the middle.

If all of us are not granted the same rights and protections under the law, then none of us have those protections. They’re an illusion.

The same is true of the states. “States Rights” cannot simply be a battle cry for the issues you agree with.

We have laws and a system for a reason.

Congratulations!
