Hey guys! As you know, I try my best to only write Lincoln-like political thoughts, full of kindness and hope. I truly believe most Americans are good and we need compromise, unity, and love. Not mockery or extremes. So, this post was a little hard to write.
Thank you, Stan! It never hurts to be reminded that we are far more powerful than we think we are. We just have to support each other and continue to vote out leaders who don't represent most of us.
I like your passion, Stan ! And although I fear the worst can and may happen, I also hold the hope of a pessimist who has seen things turn out surprisingly rightly.
One thing I will add is the missing part of the Constitution - The Declaration of Independence.
Many of the Confederates rejected the ideas expressed in the Declaration, and pointed out that it is NOT part of the Constitution, which is technically true.
But no one can read the Declaration, which inspired the Revolution, and not believe that it represents the enduring, founding principles of the United States. To reject them is to reject the premises upon which the Constitution was agreed to.
And if you read the Declaration's indictments of the Despots (at the time of English descent), and its prescriptions and demand for remediation, you can hardly avoid seeing a description of the modern GOP, and Trump himself.
I admit I don’t know much about politics, Stan, but, shouldn’t Supreme Court judges be neutral, not belong to any political party? And, who votes the judges for the Supreme Court in USA? Here in Spain judges are insisting that it should be the judges themselves who should choose the judges for the Constitutional Tribunal and Supreme Court. It’s all a mess, and sometimes I get so frustrated, confused, even irritated, because seriously, they all behave like kids!
It’s like a game to them; if the Supreme Court decides something, a judge comes by and dismantles it all! So, I ask: isn’t what the Supreme Court decide final? So what’s the use of a constitutional Tribunal or a Supreme Court, if their decision is revoked?
Gawds. My head is already spinning and hurting. I think 22:19 is not a good time to discuss politics! Time to Read is better! 😄
