For Democrats, a fair-minded approach to court appointments has the effect of isolating the far right and peeling away their adherents. It is worth noting that at least one famous right-winger, presidential adviser and Catholic U. and Pepperdine law professor Doug Kmiec, been impressed enough by Obama's themes of commonsense policy-making and his message of patriotism-through-unity that he overlooked differences on marriage equality and endorsed Obama. http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/convictions/archive/2008/03/23/endorsing-obama.aspx

Like a lot of agencies and organizations that care about progressive politics, Progressive Victory and the columnist seem to be community supporters of SEIU's overall aims of civil rights and universal health coverage. What a concept! A union that bothers to cultivate and draw on volunteer support and even advocacy from members of the community who share its values. The columnist here makes that very point, that SEIU is a rare kind of union in speaking to people beyond its own membership. Labor gaining resonance beyond its limited ranks shouldn't be cat-called, but complimented and replicated.
