[SfN] Panic and the Supreme Court

[Tracy Egan]

In a Nation magazine article, writer Barbara Ehrenreich (in an article 
endorsing Nader) reminds us what Nader means to "politics as usual" and the 
Supreme Court:
         "[W]e didn't get legal abortion in the first place because nine 
men in black robes were kind enough to allow us to have it. Women fought 
for it by every means possible, illegal as well as legal. Surely the 
anti-Naderites of the left can agree that Roe v. Wade wasn't the author of 
women's liberation, just as Brown v. Board of Education did not create the 
civil rights movement. Deep social change is made by deep social movements, 
not by edicts."
         We don't have to apologize for promoting "deep social change." A 
vote for Nader is a vote for real change. Let's remind Gore supporters that 
it was a Democratic majority in the Senate that voted to confirm Clarence 
Thomas's appointment to the Supreme Court.
