Kevin Baker talks again about the “reset” button. I’ve said previously, any pressing of said button will have to be instigated by a state government, rather than through actions of individuals or groups of individuals.

From Kevin Baker's classic Harper's essay, "Stabbed in the Back!" : It is ironic that, even as support for his war was starting to unravel...

It was the proper application of Constitutional law, which [...]
