The Fourth
I find myself still reeling from last week’s end of the term opinion dump by the Supreme Court, the conservative supermajority continuing its steady march back to the 19th century. Like last year’s disaster, this year will require a series of blogs assessing the damage. That will come on the other side of the Independence Day holiday.
For today I pass along two recommended references. The first, Professor Heather Cox Richardson of Boston College’s brilliant, as always, substack on the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence. If you don’t already subscribe to Professor Richardson’s “Letters from an American” you should.
And second, the wonderful film of the wonderful Broadway Musical, “1776“.
Both remind me of our struggle to form “a more perfect union.” And how we must continue that struggle in the face of headwinds that at times like these seem insurmountable.
Happy Fourth of July.

As long as there’s division in the parties, and there’s no thoughts of equality and justice for all mankind in America, we will always be in the dark ages.
As it was said, Mark 12:31 NIV
31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”
We are creatures of habit which we have not learned to stop repeating history, but to learn from it.
