He said that he thought most of life was sad, but that this very sadness makes it possible for us to experience moments of great joy. I feel that way myself just now.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."
Sonia Sotomayor
The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that βtroves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.β Thatβs not the real objective.

No President should have the right to change artifacts or documents that are part of how we got here. Even the ones that make us ashamed, those should be preserved, too. So we can learn.
