      Agreed. These guys get distracted easily - sometimes intentionally. The pressing issue has to be cleaning up the corrupt SCOTUS. Senator Whitehouse's recent presentation on 'The Scheme' of the crooked SCOTUS needs to be shared. It was brilliant and just the start that is needed, but more needs to be done.

If you dig hard enough to find the good people of government, and you keep them in office, you get good government. It's as simple as that.
