As is customary, we celebrate July 4th as our nation’s Independence Day. There will be all manner of ways the day is marked. Provided the weather permits, and no smoke floats down from Canadian wildfires, fueled from climate-change-driven drought, there will be parades, barbecues, beach days, dips in the pool, fireworks and more. The basis of the celebration is the country expressing a desire of freedom from England.
Nice work, CJ! I agree, it's disheartening to watch hard-fought advancements recede with the tide. We've seen it in healthcare freedoms, voting rights, environmental regulations and LGBTQ protections to mention a few. As you eloquently explained, we've seen “standing” redefined and relief given based purely on hypothetical criteria. Both decisions set an equally dangerous precedence. We must vote in numbers not seen in recent elections. Republicans suffered defeat during the 2022 midterm elections, but instead of changing course they double down on their harsh rhetoric. We must vote to insure they suffer the same fate in 2024.
