Darkness was everywhere, it smelled like a tomb (Dylan)
sometimes i feel like a broken record....but it's worth repeating....the greatest threat to Democracy lies in the judicial system with activist judges. We have slews of politically appointed judges that do not understand or do not care what their role is. Their role is to interpret the law and rule on disputes , it is not to steer or mold society into their vision of what utopia should look like. There are millions of large scale examples in the pushback against everything and anything the Trump administration tries to do , but i will give you a smaller example to show just how lost these people are. To be clear, i am not opposed to all of their decisions, but just because i like the outcome does not make it right either.
the town of Grants Pass in Oregon is trying to address the homeless encampments that line the cities streets and parks. The town has placed restrictions on where and when a person is allowed to setup a tent and or a makeshift campsite. Reasonable rules for use of public property as decided by the Public.
This case even made its way to the Supreme Court last June and SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that municipalities can enact and enforce rules for sleeping outdoors on public property.......the 3 liberal dingbos argued that this will allow cities to criminalize homelessness ......how so ? Grants Pass will arrest you for putting up a tent and sleeping on the library steps......and they will arrest me for doing the same thing.......the crime is NOT being homeless .....the crime is camping on public property that is not permitted for camping.
The Supreme Court is the last word, the highest court in the land, the place where arguments are settled once and for all.....but the left only accepts decisions that they agree with....and so a new lawsuit was brought against the town of Grants Pass, this one arguing that the camping ban discriminates against people with disabilities.........not sure what that argument is all about ......are they saying that people with disabilities can't go to the woods and sb allowed to erect tents on city halls' lawn ? I question the standing of this lawsuit , i doubt there is a single disabled person in the state of Oregon that sincerely wants to camp out on public land in Grants Pass........BUT....I am sure there are plenty of people in Oregon with disabilities who are being persuaded and even coerced into joining the fight against the big, bad, Orange man and all his flock.
Enter Circuit Judge Sarah Mcglaughlin, probably another self loathsome irish lesbian , revolting against a Daddy that drank too much and so full of herself that she thinks she's gonna change the world for the greater good. She decreed from the Mountain Top that the city must increase capacity at locations the city approves for camping and ensure that the sites are accessible to people with disabilities. (first question, what about a city that has no designated areas for camping ? ) She added that IF the city fails to do so, then they are prohibited from citing, arresting or fining people for camping on public property.
Sounds good......quid pro quo.....this for that...a win win........you want to enforce your rules for camping downtown ? ok , but you have to build camping facilities for the disabled......sounds like a negotiation or a settlement between 2 sides......but it's certainly not the role of a judge or within her powers to decree such terms.......her role was to decide if the cities policies discriminate against people with disabilities....her role is that of judge......she is not empowered to act as Arbiter. She probably went out that night to the weekly meeting of angry dykes at the local "imported" city winery and patted herself on the back and shared her success with the other militants ....and then watched the WNBA and rooted against the Heterosuxuals.....if they could find any.
so that's just one little story from the not so great northwest , but i think we can all agree that judges need to reign it in, rule on what is before them and apply the law.......even if it goes against their personal desires, dreams or aspirations for this great nation..........and save the decrees from high on the mountain for universal truths , such as 2+3= BEEER
side note....BC scored with 1:17 left on Friday afternoon and then added an empty netter to beat Bentley 3-1.....but i think they are in trouble today against defending champ Denver University.........2 players worth watching on the Eagles are NY Ranger draft picks Drew Fortescue from Pearl River and Gabe Perrault from Hinsdale, Illinois........both should be on Broadway next October and possibly representing the USA in Milan come the Olympics.
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree
And the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me
