Why am I so fired up about just an "opinion" about what is at the core of a democratic republic, "voting rights".
George Bush's speech writer, Michael Gerson, wrote this this AM.

There are a lot of debunkers at work in American society. They point out that the priest is really a balding, middle-aged man with sweat stains at his armpits. They see the judge as an old woman who has the remnants of lunch caught between her teeth. They see John Lewis as just another career politician. But the priest holds the body of Christ, the judge embodies the rule of law, and Lewis once carried the full weight of America’s promise across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Voting Rights are fundamental to America... We have a responsibility to protect them by debunking the noise that fuels "opinion" and remind everyone that citizen is the most powerful position in a democracy and with citizenship comes responsibility (cribbed bits from current AG).
