HRC 2016 on her Supreme Court goals. Oct 19, 2016

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday described her goals for Supreme Court appointments, highlighting how her potential administration would differ from Donald Trump's.

"Clinton said she wanted justices who would defend women's rights, back LGBT rights, support Roe v. Wade and reverse the Citizens United decision and its ability to funnel dark money into elections.
Clinton said she wanted a court to "stand on the side of the people" rather than wealthy donors and corporations
"..

*"Trump said his court would prioritize the right to bear arms and said he would appoint judges who would reverse Roe v. Wade, the decision that protects a woman's right to abortion."

How in the world was backing HRC even a choice to question, for the future security of Women & Human Rights, that generations had clawed their way through a political path to recognization.

The Supreme Court.
Hillary Clinton's record on Human Rights was long & solid.
Those who took for granted the rights they enjoyed yet failed to hear or head the warnings in 2016, carried forward the threat of losing it all today.

Shame on them all as they now clutch those lovely pearls & gasp at the possibility of losing our hard fought rights.
Those who waved away HRC's warnings now speak as though THEY WE NEVER WARNED OF WHAT A LOSS TO HUMAN RIGHTS WE NOW FACE.

I hear them on MSM, read their pleas on social media & we'll the all hear their carefully worded cries for solidarity on the the next campaign trail.

Truth is, Women & Human Rights were simply allowed to slip away because they never ever listened when the warnings were all around them.

Now it's a issue for them? NOW?
I am sickened by what the foolish gave away.
