If the Justices overturn Roe v. Wade, it may take more than voting in a whole new Congress to fix things. If the Supreme Court says that abortion is illegal under the Constitution then it is very probable that nothing short of a Constitutional Amendment may bring it back. And the chances of an Abort...

I think we should see through the deception: Georgia, Alabama, and the other Wire-Hanger States do not intend or plan to spend a dime or lift a finger to investigate or prosecute some woman or doctor. They really expect and intend that their new anti-abortion laws will be challenged in court before ...

It turns out that Super Tuesday - simultaneous primaries in 14 states - is scheduled for March 3rd 2020, only a week or two after a couple of isolated primaries. I fully expect a bunch of the current candidates to drop out by or immediately after Super Tuesday. Then we should be down to only four or...

As the court of last resort, the Supreme Court is not bound by stare decisis, but may overturn its previous holdings if it realizes that an error was made.

Altho the President may pardon criminals, if he pardons those involved in crimes which the President himself "advised", this would be grounds for impeachment. And we have this from the Founding Fathers in the 1788 Virginia Convention to ratify the US Constitution: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt...

I would suppose that EVERY instance of Executive Clemency is an encroachment on the judiciary. But it was part and parcel of Anglo-Saxon law (and the law of a lot of other cultures) and, frankly, I know of no specific instance of a Presidential pardon being invalidated. (I had heard of a governor's ...

Peter Mayhew, age 74, very tall actor who wore Chewbacca and Darth Vader for the Star Wars series.

Three mass shootings took place while the NRA convention was running, yet I never heard of the NRA acknowledging the tragedies.

Is it my imagination, or do we seem to be having more mass shootings under this NRA-supporting President?

The shooting at the San Diego synagogue is reported on page 25 of the Sunday NY Times.

I am cranked that it was considered unworthy of a front page mention.

If the Democrats want to go ahead with impeachment, in the face of a stonewalling Republican Senate, then at the very least the Democrats should amass evidence from more than just the Mueller Report. The case for impeachment should be airtight, not just flamboyant.

I am curious as to how foreign donors get any benefit from subsidizing the NRA. The NRA is certainly burning the candle at both ends and, more important, seems to have a serious internal feud going on. Considering that both sides have been indoctrinated to resort to firearms, I wouldn't be very surp...

Henry W. Bloch, cofounder of H & R Bloch, age 96, on April 23.

A fuller quotation of the short article: But the Tuesday after Easter, King returned to the spotlight with an apparent savior complex. At a town-hall meeting in Cherokee, Iowa, King described the experience of being on the receiving end of a 421-1 House vote to rebuke him for his statement to the Ti...

More than a distinct possibility. Hopkins seemed to have no protection or assistance from the Aryan-type prisoners, which means they essentially let him get beaten if they were not doing the beating themselves. Larry Hopkins sounds like the kind of misfit who would rather tell an awkward lie when ev...

The House should postpone consideration of any impeachment resolution because, once the President is in jeopardy of impeachment then he has an excuse for ignoring subpoenae by Congressional committees. This is shown by the case of diplomatic officer George F. Seward in 1875, who refused to comply wi...

Georgia Engel, comedic actress with a whispery voice, at age 70.

She was a devout Christian Science adherent, which may explain the early age and the lack of info on the cause of death.

She was a joy to watch and she will be missed.

The website and forum, SUIJURISFORUM, is officially reported as dead. Evidently the plug was pulled on it about a week ago.

Can anyone suggest to me, preferably with a link, another similar forum where I could tease the sovtards??

What can be said about someone so crazy that he deliberately tapes himself refusing to stop for police, resisting arrest, and finally being arrested ... and then posting that tape for the world (including the court) to see? I had mentioned the Rarick case, in which the driver's smartphone was the su...

SuiJurisForum has been unavailable for about 4 days. Does anyone have any info about that?

Distinct from incapacity, grounds for impeachment: The very real prospect of Trump committing contempt of Congress over the tax returns and/or the mueller Report. In the course of the history of Congress, plenty of examples of executive branch officials threatened with citation for contempt, and pro...

Nielsen was not generally expected to be pushed out. Today's news that it would take (at least) two years to match up the detained children with their parents may have been a bridge too far for her. Almost anyone's guess who might be next but don't be surprised if some elderly rightwing judges (e.g....

Joe Biden started his political career in the Old Days, when candidates would grab hands, embrace women, kiss babies, etc. without hesitation. In his decades of office-holding and candidacy Biden must have touched, embraced, or hugged more than a million women. By my count, 0.0001% have complained, ...

The constitutional criteria for grounds of presidential impeachment ("treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors", Art. II, sec. 4) encompass reasons other than the felonies listed in the federal criminal code. The point is that, while Mueller (or at least Barr) did not deduce that Trum...

Believing Trump (for the sake of argument), he learned that Special Olympics had been de-funded about a week after everyone else did. More likely, he was on board with it from the beginning, but decided to flip-flop (and embarrass DeVos) only after it was obvious that the reaction (even among Republ...
