Former President Bill Clinton on Friday made the case for his wife, Hillary, before a cheering crowd of more than 800 people of all ages who packed Lincoln Station on the eve of Nebraska’s Democratic presidential caucus.

“This woman has spent her entire life trying to make things happen for other people,” Clinton declared.

“Her first instinct always is what can I do to make it better?” he said.

“You should vote for the best change-maker tomorrow,” Clinton said as he wrapped up a 50-minute speech before a standing audience that ranged across a litany of issues.

Clinton, in particular, hammered home the importance of nominating a Democratic presidential candidate who can win in November and be in position to fill vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court.

“This is a big deal, folks,” he said.

Instead of a Supreme Court that restricts voting rights, America needs a court that will expand voting rights, he said.

And it needs a court that will reverse the decision that effectively ended campaign finance controls and opened political campaigns to virtually unlimited and anonymous funding and influence, Clinton said.
