A quote or two from Ruth: “I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.” In other words, a father should have no say in the murder of his child.
“It won’t happen. It would be an impossible dream. But I’d love to see “Citizens United” overruled.” This ruling gave the people who paid the most in taxes a voice in who our elected criminals are. Freedom of speech has been under assault for years. Ruth was an accomplice in the fight to destroy the first amendment to our constitution.
Donald Trump has said he will nominate a woman to fill her shoes. It would be a wise move to nominate Barbara Lagoa. In my view, it would be best to nominate in the week or ten days prior to the election as nominating a woman of Hispanic or Latino roots would be bound to throw many in that community who are on the fence to vote for Trump.
This will be a test of how much Donald Trump has learned about the political landscape that is Washington D.C. As I write this (September 22), he hasn’t as yet named anyone. Lagoa is the only logical choice; here’s hoping he makes it.
