well, I guess the bottom line here is that I'm just not feeling that angry
disenfranchised or disheartened that I feel the system is that bad. I read
and listen and just can't buy in to all of the angry rhetoric. Perhaps I'm
more tied in to the political establishment and feel more comfortable with
it. I don't expect to change minds and I realize that there ismuch passion
for the Sanders campaign but I just don't feel it. sometimes our principles
have to be compromised to protect what we have and this electgion is one of
those times. I have never and will never vote for a Republican so that's not
an option. For me judicial appointments are probably one of the most
important issues thatthat I use when voting. Its probably right up there
with not supporting a candidate that wants to further any kind of religious
agenda.

None of us are forgetting the Judiciary. It's a sad day when we're told that
we have to vote for a candidate whom we find to be repugnant, because she
may appoint better judges to our courts. I mean, that should be just one of
several reasons to vote for someone, but in the end, given Hillary's track
record, we're voting for her because she isn't Trump and she'll appoint
better judges.

the key issue that is being overlooked in this election is the damage that
Trump or any republican dandidate would do to the court system with the
appointment of the judiciary.

Hi Miriam,
I agree completely with you here regardign the sad state in which we find
ourselves.
But, as bad as that is, I'm afraid that I believe that things could get far
worse under a president Trump. I foresee increasingly violent repression of
the poor and minorities, more military adventures abroad, more terrorist
attacks throughout the Globe, continued deterioration of our infrastructure,
an end to Obama Care and more.
Our bill of Rights which has been torn to pieces in the last 20 years will
be nothing more than a cloud of dust under Trump.
I'm afraid that I'm whimping out here and that I, like Carl, will be very
likely to pull the lever for Clinton, probably with a gas mask tightly
affixed.
