An Alarming New High Court Case


A scarey new potential Supreme Court ruling looms large and ominus for June of next year just before the Presidential elections.   Norman Goldman says the High Court has approved a case where the very wording of the Constitution about using cencus figures for apportionment of congressional districts is put in question.  The cencus measures the residents - - warm bodies- - living in a state without regard to whether they are either registered to vote or even CAN vote.  After all we counted three fifths of a slave as a person.  We counted free Blacks and obviously women as residents of states well before either of these constituancies got the vote.  So the very idea of “ellegable voter” is absurd on its face.  The reason why the Republicans want to do it is obviously to increase the perportion of rural voters, which vote red neck, as opposed to those urban districts, which will be cut back if this ruling goes forth.  Clearly this is an insult upon the Constitution itself but that didn’t stop the citizens united ruling.  That ruling in early 2010 is responsible in large part for the “revolution of 2010” in congress.  And the thing is Justice Roberts broadened the question (the issue) to go way beyond the scope of the original issue before the court.  Norman reminds us when the court gutted the voting rights act (another “unconstitutional act” done by this court) all of the “Several States” had their anti voters legislation ready to go, almost as if they’d been expecting the ruling.  If the court is so nakedly political, maybe the court itself is unconstitutional.

Staten anti cholesterol drugs are natural born killers.  You know the truckload of warnings and side effects.  It's downright criminal to even vaguely suggest that half of the population of American should be taken them- - or for that matter ANY chemical drug.  What the drug companies are trying to do is downright criminal.

One of my more popular postings was the one on the US Senate and guns done in April of 2013.  Naturally I looked to see what the attraction was.  But there is that line of Norman Bates from the Psycho movie of “Sometimes we all go a little Mad”.   And clearly my grip on sanity appeared a little tenuous in this posting at times.  It’s not just I was channeling Syd Barret but maybe was BECOMING him.   I’d like to pick up on one new term used in this paragraph I had never used before.  That is “gravemetric storm”.   I never explained what a gravemetric story was, actually.   I would speculate that perhaps this is a reference to “Dark Matter”, which I knew virtually nothing about two years ago.  But the only way you “see” it at all is a gratational field.   I would only add that when it comnes to “time distortion” this can be explained simply.  As scientists well know- - any time one gravitational field is stronger than another gravitational field- - time will go more slowly in the stronger of the two fields and go faster in the weaker of the two fields.  As such you will either gain or lose time or be thrown either forward or backward in time.  Of course if I could count on getting calm, reasoned “comments” I guess perhaps I would read them more faithfully to get some badly needed feedback on content.

The radio static was pretty loud when I listened to Shawn Hannity but maybe I improved it a little.  Shawn is still raving about our dreadful Iranian nuclear treaty.   Tim never called all day today.  On the soap opera you have to make three major leaps of faith (credulity) to believe the baby sitter is actually guilty of what Teresa accuses her of.   First of all, Brady and Victor only have Teresa’s side of it and appear unwilling to let the nanny speak one word in her own defense before she’s fired.  I’ve never known Victor to be so easily conned by something as obvious as a heavily edited video tape.  He never asks himself why the security for the tape was non existant.  He never questions the fact (?) that of course the tape is genuine and unedited.  But worst of all Victor and Brady know that lying and setting other people up for selfish motives is Teresa’s specialty.  Do we really have to remind you about Teresa blaming Brady for hitting John with a fireplace poker? 

A lot of things are questions of character.  It's a sign of character to ask a political figure "embarrassing questions" because they are questions people have a right to know.  They say that stress doesn't produce character, it just reveals it.  Character is what you're like when nobody is looking.  Norman Goldman criticized a CBS reporter for asking why the President is content to leave four prisoners in Iran and not trying to negotiate their freedom.  Norman lost it.  He just fumed and babbled and I have no idea why.  The president isn’t some kind of Royalty where he is seemed to be quazi divine and therefore infallible, is he?  The President held an hour long press conference today that obviously wasn't carried on over the air TV.   Were I the President I would have mentioned how the Jewish lobby could be instrumental in causing world war III just as the China lobby in the thirties contributed in a big way to be beginning of World War II and I did a whole posting on this subject.  Certainly the Jewish people have suffered mindless prejudice and persecution for most of the past two thousand years.  But perhaps Netenyahoo should learn the old adage "The sincerest form of flattery is imotation".   Does Netenyahoo really want to flatter people who have persecuted the Jews by being like them in persecuting the Palestinians and doing everything you can to shun peace and work tword war with Iran?     Should Bill Cosby be stripped of the President's medal of freedom given to him by George Bush?  I vote yes, they should take that medal away.  Keep his Hollywood star but not this honor.   The President was asked to define rape and Obama said that any time a man drugs a woman for the purpose of having sex with her- - then it's rape".  I would agree with that assertion.  All the President has to do to keep the treaty with Iran is to get just over one third of the votes in one House of Congress.  Norman Goldman said Joe Byden could use his vote here if the thing were really close.
