MASSACHUSETTS MUST MOVE FORWARD ON OUR OWN

With the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Su- preme Court, coming on the heels of the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch, it is clear that the America as we have known it for the past 70 years, a time in which the United States attained and maintained its supremacy in the world and achieved unprecedented prosperity for its people, has come to an end. That may sound dramatic, but we don't think it is overstating the case. In our view, the principal reason why America has prospered since the end of WWII, despite our many missteps (Vietnam, Watergate, and Iraq being the top three) is because we have expanded the rights of all of our citizens and we have welcomed people from all over the world to partake of, and contribute to, our wealth and our democratic ideals. As regards the latter point, we would note that the majority of the Nobel prizes awarded to Americans in recent years have been won by persons who were immigrants. And let's not forget that Steve Jobs's father came from Syria and the parents of one of the founders of Google emigrated from Russia. They came to this country, as immigrants always have and still do, to create a better life for themselves and their families and to contribute to their new country. However, there should be no doubt that the newly-consti- Guest Op-Ed tuted Supreme Court not merely will take us back to the pre- 1930s, but rather will be in the vanguard of a new movement How we’re creating more affordable housing that is, at its core, anti-democratic.
