The Law, Common Sense & July 4

As I look forward to July 4th I am reminded that much of this Country's history as a nation grew out of laws and a common understanding of right and wrong. The Supreme Court decision to allow the Constitutionality of the Affordable Health Care Act is such an exmple.

Just as I was, and still am, distressed with the Court's decision to equate corporate with citizen influence in legislation and elections, so too am I encouraged by Jurists who showed common sense in today's decision.

July 4th can inspire and celebrate the ability of "We the People" to use our common sense to define right from wrong under the law, no matter how long it takes. Now we need to assure that those who represent us will help to implement the much needed Affordable Health Care Act.
