Blast from the past: "The Judiciary branch is strong and WE. WILL. HOLD"

I posted this several months ago.

I'm glad to see that, so far, my friend has been right.


"The Judiciary branch is strong and WE. WILL. HOLD"
A few weeks ago, a dear old friend, a Republican-appointed federal judge, trying to console me during a moment of despair about the future of our country, said to me “The Judiciary branch is strong and will hold.” When I expressed skepticism, he leaned toward me, looked me dead in the eye, and said as firmly as he could without shouting: “We are strong and WE. WILL. HOLD.”

You are right now, as Judge Mehta was right then.

I believe our federal judges are going to be the real unsung heroes in this epic struggle.
