On Thursday, September 13, 2012 the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania will hear arguments on the "Voter ID" law. What they will decide is huge, historically and for the immediate and long-term future of the ballot. Of freedom in our Democracy. I'll tell you more tomorrow about why tomorrow matters. Today's events have worn me out; still, before surrendering to sleep, I'm thinking positive thoughts and trusting the Court will do the right thing. Someone near and dear to me in PA is not so sure justice will prevail. He hopes he's wrong. So do I. We shall see.
Keep the faith. Any other choice is unthinkable.
Now it IS September 13 and not a Friday. The PA Supreme Court has heard the arguments and could rule as early as tomorrow or sometime next week. I hope these justices are wise beings who understand the magnitude of their ruling. I hope to write something about what's at stake here and a little Voting Rights/Poll Tax history for younger voters. The rest of us have "been there"—the rest of us Progressives/Liberals, at least.
I"ll be back soon (I say to Lucy Left visitors, both of them! :-)) Keep keeping the faith, pals. We still have miles to go!
