This minute Democrats should be looking to impeach Thomas, Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh for perjury during their confirmation hearings. I have contacted my representatives and thus far have received their typical wishy washy responses. I would like to hear Thom how else we are supposed to "plan for this?"

I support your question to Thom on this huge problem we CERTAINLY are facing. (Also, I'm renewing my passport, planning a move to ANY democratic nation that will accept me)

If I weren't in a profession I can't transfer outside the US I would be joining you. Although at some point that might be irrelevant. I hope Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway have room for several million Americans.

Also, in Denmark most people there speak English - and you can learn!

But you CAN transfer as a physician/DO. My ENT uncle transferred to Hawaii from a lucrative practice in Atlanta. I know, not outside the US. BUT states can be just as rigorous as other countries. THEY ALL need doctors. He had to take the exam again, and do surgery with another board certified surgeon there - BUT by the time he was less than halfway through that year, his "mentor" told him, "You don't need me here - except that I'm learning a lot from you. He also took care of all the opera singers who would visit for performances in Honolulu. YOU CAN DO THIS, DR. KAUFMAN!!!

They don't, unless you ARE a professional or occupation that they need (like nurses, etc.). What about just us common folk? Nope. No room for us.

Yes, my Canadian citizenship is looking mighty good right now - especially on "Canada Day", but I'm sure Thom would say that running away (like "despair") is not an option.

Which country would that be? Maybe you are wealthy enough to leave and get into a decent country, but seriously? Where to do that will take us ugly Americans. Particularly those of us who receive Social Security and retirement benefits under some form of government agency. We don't have much hope. And I don't speak French, German, Portugese (my first country choice) or even Spanish. And why would they take us? We have been utterly despicable to those who have attempted asylum or refuge in this country. We shall reap what we have sown.
