We All Can Agree.

We all can agree that a parent would not and should not put their children in harm’s way. We should never put or children in a situation that could be fatal.

We can all agree that to put our children in harm’s way is not exercising good judgement or any moral judgement.

AND YET, THE REPUBLICANS UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION WANT TO PUT ON THE SUPREME COURT TO MAKE JUDGEMENTS THAT AFFECT ALL OF OUR AND OUR CHILDREN’S LIVES THIS PERSON. YOU NEED TO WRITE OR CALL OR TEXT YOUR SENATOR TO STOP THIS CONFIRMATION.

As further evidence of her lack of good decision making:

She sign petitions without reading them on her way out of church.

She accepts a position on a board that is anti gay right.

And yet, she claims to be unable to answer senators question because she would need more facts.

REALLY?

Party Above All?

When businesses suffer from Pandemic?

With people being laid off due to the pandemic?

With people running out of unemployment benefits due to the Pandemic?

With people being evicted from their rental units due to the Pandemic?

With people missing mortgage payments due to Pandemic?

People in food lines due to Pandemic?

With children starving due to the Pandemic?

Republicans did not cause the Pandemic!

REPUBLICANS FAILE TO LEAD US OUT OF THE PANDEMIC BY FOLLOWING PRESIDENT TRUMP, BY NOT COMING UP WITH A PLAN, REFUSING TO BRING UP TO THE SENATE AND VOTE ON THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN.

What are they using their time for during the Pandemic?

Trying to get a person on the Supreme Court that will enable them to get rid of the ACA one of the most popular pieces of legislation ever passed. (Since they have no plan beyond that, one must presume that they want insurance companies to be able to deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, cap payments, deny coverage to children on their parents policy and allow junk insurance.)

Also, they want to get rid of Roe v Wade.

There are three things the American voters are in favor of by margins as high as 60%.

One is the need for the Afordable Care Act

Two is legislation to provide needed relief for all our people till we get through this Pandemic and thereby allow the economy to again grow.

Three is keeping Roe v Wade.

SO, YES, IT IS PARTY ABOVE ALL ELSE – PARTICULARLY THEIR CONSTITUENTS!

Where Was Your Outrage

When border agents tore babies form their mothers breasts and put them in cages without any plan to reunite them except to put them up for adoption in the United States.

How will you rule in cases like this? Will you hold the Republican party responsible for them? Will you be as concerned since they are not fetuses? Mexican or Honduran?

Right to Life? Really?

Since the Right to Life groups are out pushing Mrs. Barrett’s placement on the Supreme Court, I have some questions.

Is she opposed to sex education in public and private schools?

Is she opposed to free birth control?

Is she committed to supporting women who don’t abort babies they cannot care for?

Is she as committed to the child after birth as she is to the fetus?

 Is she opposed to free school lunches?

Is she opposed to the death penalty.

Is she in favor of having control over men’s reproductive organs?

Is she in favor of women being given Social Security credit for years worked raising a family?

Is she in favor of her recusing herself from current cases involving Roe v Wade?  And other cases currently pending before the court?

Amy Coney Barrett’s Nomination

I am not concerned about her religious views.

I am not concerned about her limited experience as a trial attorney.

I am not concerned her limited, less than three years, experience as a federal jurist for an appointment for life.

I am concerned about her judgement. Look at the photos above. In the lower left corner you see her husband and more importantly her children in the rose garden where the White House became a Super Spreader hot spot.

She knew the CDC recommendations.

She knew they all should be wearing masks.

She knew they all should be social distancing which would be impossible considering the number of attendees.

She knew that the testing only had a 50 percent reliability rate.

And yet, she still brought her children to the event and exposed them to the most deadly virus to hit the United States in over a hundred years.

What kind of judgement is that? It is the kind of judgement that puts herself above the safety of her children.

She claims to protect the rights of fetuses, but she doesn’t protect her own children?

SCOTUS AND HOT CHICKS

 

(How to Change the Conservative Justices Opinions on Contraception, Women, and Abortion!)

The clue to how to change conservative justice(s) opinions on abortion, contraception, and women’s rights lies in their vote on a recent decision by the court.

That case was: Riley v. California in which the court ruled unanimously that police needed warrants to search the cellphones of people they arrest.  I, along with many others, attribute this apparent contradiction on limitation on police power to the fact that all of the Supreme Court justices, including the conservative five, have and use cell phones.  Their aids use cell phones and therefore, they understand the need for privacy.

Based upon that peek into how they think and rule, I make the following suggestion.

We need to get the old white men on the court hooked up with some really hot young chicks of child bearing age.  They should also be professional women; no, not that kind of profession.  I mean women who work in business or finance or industry who are single mothers trying to support a family and need their reproductive rights protected.  Or, they could be unemployed single mothers not wanting anymore children.  Or, they could be women who are trying to survive with their family on minimum wage and cannot afford another child or health insurance.

Perhaps if they were as familiar with the plight of women, who are not the wives of Supreme Court Justices, as they are with cell phones, they would think differently when they rule that companies can discriminate against a woman on religious grounds.
