IN RECENT WEEKS WE HAVE RECEIVED
THIS YEAR'S USSC DECISIONS.
This year's group have been even
more consequential than in the recent past, reflecting the Nation's deep
divisions.
Here are two references to the
process and to the results.
1) "The Most Powerful Court
In The World", by Stuart Banner (Oxford University Press, 2024).
2) "Revisiting The Supreme
Court's Major Decisions", Litpak et al (NYTimes National, July 6,
2025.)
And then of course there is the
cynic's approach:
"The Court is like an 800 pound
gorilla: it Sits Where It Wants To Sit".

ENOUGH!
The steady increase in personal
threats and actual attacks based upon differing political beliefs must be dealt
with to the fullest extent of the Law.
At a minimum, and including threats
- considered "Assault" in Tort Law, these actions should result
in Misdemeanor convictions with one year of prison.
This trend is a clear and present
danger to the Public at large. "Law and Order" is not a slogan; it is
the bedrock of a functioning democracy.

THESE DAYS, JUSTICE IS ALWAYS DELAYED.
BUT AT LEAST IT IS NOT JUSTICE DENIED.

HE
TOPIC FOR TODAY IS THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, ITS RELATION TO "FREE SPEECH" AND
VIOLENCE.
In
recent years, we have seen too
many examples public Violence masquerading as "Free Speech" - and
getting away with it.
The
most recent example is occurring
now in Los Angeles.
The
First Amendment protects
"...the right of the people Peaceably to
assemble..."
The
USSC has addressed this matter
on several occasions, prohibiting violence and "true threats" as
protected speech.
Although
I have access to several
texts on the Supreme Court and Constitutional Law, a Google search is
very
helpful.
See:
"FIRST AMENDMENT AND
VIOLENCE AND SUPREME COURT".
BOTTOM
LINE: The grossly threatening
verbiage and also actions engaged in by mobs in cities through the
country
IS
NOT PROTECTED SPEECH, SHOULD BE
SUPPRESSED AND SHOULD BE CHARGED UNDER CRIMINAL LAW.
And
the Democratic Party that is
actively promoting these actions should be condemned and should be
relegated to
the
national
political trash heap for
the next decade or longer.
THIS
IS DANGEROUS STUFF!

A USEFUL AND ONGOING SOURCE OF
INFORMATION ON USE AND MISUSE AND ABUSE OF "THE LAW"
IS FOUND IN THE ACTIVITIES OF
"JUDICIAL WATCH" (www.judicialwatch.org).
You can start with the June 2025
edition of "VERDICT", its monthly reportage of the many cases
filed
on behalf of the Public Domain and
against the targets of Shakespeare's pithy observation.
