ezs note: It may be that the late Aimee Stephens may lose the case - but it will be short-lived. If Mr, Rotner is correct, there are three things you can do. First - and absolutely most important - get that vile Trump out of office. Second, if you have a Republican senator, vote for a Democrat. Third, if you have a Republican House member, vote for a Democrat. And don't forget!!!
