30. Quite the rant, but I guess I missed your point

You started out saying revenge and punishment for the Confederate states was your priority.

I disagreed, and explained why.

Then you made it about me.

I’m going behind your back

I have no idea what that means.

BTW, if he had been faced with an extremist court that would have overturned the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, LBJ would have expanded the court and packed it with liberals who would uphold the law. He would have twisted, if not broken, the arms of any Dem legislator who hesitated to support him (but also would’ve used Pork funding to entice overly cautious ones).

He would have done it, sure as the sun rises in the morning.

It’s that kind of courage I’m seeking in our next nominee.

I’d much prefer that over another culture war or hatred based administration.
