I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

I won't back down! #NoKings

I have spent over 45 years in the Libertarian Party opposing governmental overreach. It has been heart breaking to discover how many people I had considered friends and allies for decades turned out to only oppose overreach by the left.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.
It is not fair to say Trump is always lying, sometimes he is sleeping.

I really feel for Con Law profs. How are you supposed to teach anything based on principle? What exactly can you say about the Court ignoring 90-year old precedent with an opposite ruling on the shadow docket with no explanation? How can you do or teach any common law reasoning about Con Law now?

I know my odds of winning the Powerball are lower than the odds of being hit by lightning while being struck by a bus driven by Bigfoot, but they’re still better than Congress doing its job.
celebrating our 52nd anniversary at the Indiana state house with about 2000 of our new friends.
Thank you for exposing the Manhattan institute for what it has become or perhaps always was.
In the 70's I met German relatives who stayed in Germany during the war. I was told,"If you weren't Jewish and you didn't break the law, the Gestapo never bothered you". History does not repeat, it rhymes.
A lot of Americans are willfully ignorant of what is happening to our country. If they allowed themselves to become aware they might feel a need to act.
Going to an anti-redistricting protest in deep red Indiana. I would appreciate any suggestions for a hand held sign. The Protest is this Tuesday at 5:30 pm.
Itis not a requirement, but it helps.

This isn’t about John Bolton, so whatever you think about him is irrelevant. It is about every person who dares to publicly criticize Trump. It is about intimidating and silencing all of us, and it will work with some. There are going to be many more Boltons in the coming months.
