We are grateful for your continuing in the tradition. The great dean of the law school, long ago, author vanderbilt once said reform is not for the shortwinded. That is a tradition we take on here. Hopefully not tonight. Grateful for you being here as we launch the discussion of my new book; the fight to vote this book represents the Brennan Center for justice.
