Supreme Court End-of-year Rulings

President Trump said last week that he doesn’t believe these new refugees from Central America are entitled to due process of law in our courts but should be deported immediately.  He is of course wrong.  Thom Hartman points out that crossing the border is a misdemeanor and that if anything you should just pay a fine and go your way.  Or course you should be released on your own recognizance (OR) should you be imprisoned.  Aren’t they just supposed to give you a court date or something.  Stephanie Miller today was playing all of these clips of politicians and radio talk show hosts trashing President Obama calling him a socialist and such.  Apparently there are still 2300 children that haven’t been reunited with their parents.  They separated the boys and the girls and we don’t know where the girls are.  Today is primary day in many states including Utah where Mitt Romney is running to win a US Senate seat from Utah.  People like to take the pulse of the nation from these primaries to see what political direction the nation may be headed in.  Hopefully there is no “Death of the blue wave” paranoia we had one month ago.  

This is Tuesday June 26, 2018 and the gardeners are working outside.  In keeping with my moral philosophy I think it was wrong for the Red Hen restaurant or whatever to kick out Trump’s WH Press Secretary.  I don’t believe it’s proper to deny service to someone because of their political beliefs in keeping with that letter to Tim I wrote last week.  But they were doing it to make a point.  I think ABC should rehire Rosanne Barr and reinstitute her hit show.  I was swayed by that interview with Rosanne that Rabi released last week but I already was of the belief that ABC went a little far in disgracing Rosanne to the extent they did.  She has apologized a million times over for the slip-up when she was on Ambien or whatever.  I don’t think the show will be damaged because the lead actress has some “off color” racial humor.  As you know I hardly ever watched the show then or recently.  But this is the summer rerun season and if they were to have new episodes now- - I would be more inclined to watch.  

 In other news the Supreme Court today has upheld the travel ban on Moslems instituted last year.  Just off hand I guess I agree with the court.  It’s kind of border-line what Trump’s racial motivations were.   Certainly Trump from the political stump has made remarks about “shutting the Moslems down”.  But there is another Supreme Court ruling that says in California you don’t have to be forced to give out PRO abortion material at a crisis pregnancy center.  I think you should live your conscience.  If you are anti abortion you should make that fact known.  But I guess the biggest and most embarrassing news for the president is that Harley Davidson is closing down plants in this country and setting up production in Europe so they don’t have to raise the price of their motorcycles.  Trump was so flattering to Harley Davidson and now it’s blown up in his face.  And I bet the biker vote will affect the election outcome in November. 

I wanted to again talk about that article that says that atomic or subatomic particles “communicate” with each other at many times faster than the speed of light.  This means they don’t use “ether” as a mode of transmission as the usual radio waves and all the other radiation such as X Rays and light and microwave.   I used to believe in hyperspace.  Whether this is some hyperspace realm where geography (and geometry as we know it) have no bearing, I don’t know.  It could be just a much more etherial realm where a signal travels much faster.  

It occurred to me that maybe the beliefs of Christianity developed much sooner than I have been saying the past dozen years or so.  (If not longer)  It could be that even in the time of Jesus that there was already arising a belief of some “ultimate sacrifice” that would “Put an end to sin” as it says in the book of Daniel.  Because it was an animal sacrifice, being an “animal” as Rush Limbaugh reminds us- - “animals” have no rights not even if that animal turns out to be the Son of God.  (What a juxtaposition in terms)  Therefore one should never question the justice of the crucifixion of Jesus on political or moral grounds, as would be one’s first impulse.  Jesus wasn’t dying as a fellow “innocent” human being entitled to certain rights, but rather as an article of pure sin or whatever they call a burnt offering.  People may have indeed looking for some innocent (ritually clean) human being who would offer himself as a sacrifice in this manner.  This is contrary to what I have believed but I have to face the fact that it’s possible.  

Justice Neil Gorsich Wants to Rewrite the Fourth Amendment

First of all I hope we jumped to the right blog.  It's been a while since I have put out any blog.  I would like to summarize Trump's activities in the past week.  The immigration thing with the breaking up families has dominated the news.  Trump relents on Wednesday saying that he no longer favors the splitting up of immigrant families.  But now these children and particularly girls have been flown all over the country to remote cities, perhaps to be used in the sex trade.  Meanwhile now they are going to house the families on military bases.  Then Thursday morning Trump holds that press conference and praises the families of victims of murders committed by illegal aliens.  The media points out that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes on average than do the average American, but this fact would dampen Trump's fanning the fires of racial hysteria.  So Trump goes on and on in this press conference over the noon hour here talking about our brave men and women of law enforcement and how he's not really getting soft on immigration.   Congress failed in the passage of one hard line immigration bill on Wednesday by quite a bit.  It wasn't even close.  There was to be another vote on a more moderate bill on Thursday but Trump pulls the plug on that one at the last minute.  Trump says to wait till November to elect more republican congressmen.

Saudi Arabian women can now legally drive in that country now as of midnight last night.  But meanwhile other protests groups are being arrested.  This crown prince Solmon or whoever wants to loosen the nuce around women's necks just a little.  There is a hope of further reforms.  But driving is a major start, if this right isn't just as quickly recinded. 

Neil Gorsuch was in the news today.  Apparently Gorsich wants to abolish or replace the fourth amendment of the constitution.  It's "repeal and replace" or something.  Last week the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that says the average American has privacy rights on their cell phones and they can't have their locations tracked by police without a warrent.  I think that's a pretty good idea.  Justice Roberts was the swing vote and also wrote the majority oppinion on the subject.  The final vote was five to four just like in the Obama Care ruling with the same justices on each side.  People who looked at Gorsich's dissenting oppinion states that his views are "radical" and not in line with any legal precident.  This is the justice we never should have had in the first place but Mc Connell would not vote on President Obama's pick after Scelia died in February of 2016.

A lady aid of Martin Luther King died this morning.  She was the one who actually typed out the "I Have a Dream" speech.  This is a speech where people should listen to the whole speech because the whole thing is good.  This same woman was with him next door at the Lauraine Hotel the early evening when Martin Luther King was shot in Memphis.  I guess she must have been a pretty important woman.  She died at age 88.

It was actually Robert Kennedy's gunning down by Sirhan Sirhan that changed American history for the worse on a pretty much permanent basis.  Trump won't talk about THAT kind of permanent change.  Because Robert Kennedy had a good or excellent chance of taking on Hubert Humphrey for the democratic nomination and also beating Nixon in the fall.  In any Nixon Kennedy race you know that the man named Kennedy is going to win.  He has all the charisma after all.  Who knows what course history would have taken after that.  But I could say the same thing about Bush v Gore in 2000 and the contested voter count in Florida.  Dorthey and I were just talking about that today.  History would have been so different.  We wouldn't have had the Mideast War and the federal deficet would not be sky high right now.

I think we have set a record.  This is the first blog post we have done in ten days since June 14th, which is longer than any other period.  There are still Word files I haven't copied over to this new computer.  I still need to copy files from mid December of 2014 to late June of 2016.  I am not happy with Word dropping all the nice letter facings of Word 2007 and Word 2003.  I don't know why they did that.  You can't use photographs in letters any more either.  But what you can do is to splice over sampler code from old files you have and the Word Art code will be intact and you can continue to change the letters to form new words.
