I am so deeply moved by John Lewis' death. Too often now, the fight over voting rights gets framed as a political issue ("how will this law impact the election?"). Yes, it's political, but John Lewis so forcefully showed us that it's so much more than that. It's a moral issue.
Today I'm thinking of the hallowed ground in Selma where John Lewis marched.
I'm thinking about the same senate majority leader who has declined to take up a bill, sponsored by John Lewis, to implement a new formula for the Voting Rights Act.
I am so deeply moved by John Lewis' death and the fight of his life. But it is so clear it is far from over.
