What& #39;s at stake in America right now is much larger than the liberal vs conservative agendas we know so well.

What& #39;s at stake right now is the rule of law, free speech, equal protection and the integrity of our branches of government. Some examples: /1
Legislators are attempting to court pack in order to fix the outcome of judicial review. The Supreme Court is dangerously close to losing its independence as a branch of government distinct from lawmakers.

/4
One online bookseller - @amazon - controls access to the majority of America& #39;s books. And it has begun deleting ideologically-disfavored content, with the apparent approval of the @ACLU

/5
If we lose things like rule of law and freedom of expression and separation of powers, there is no going back. There won& #39;t be a pendulum left to swing.

This makes these issues nothing like tax rates, health-care, drug policy or even foreign policy, important as those are. /6
To save America, a lot of us are going to have to abandon our Liberal vs Conservative silos -- and we& #39;re going to have to do it now. /e
