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!!!"

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Putting Homeless people in foreclosed housing and eventually "selling" the houses to them might help to end homelessness.
