“The justices, divided 6-3 held that Trump’s aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).” *snip* “The decision does not affect all of Trump’s tariffs, leaving in place ones he imposed on steel and […]
Why is it that one person can escape all prosecution because of who he or she knows, who they are, or what he or she does? I would not get the same treatment as they. Neither would you. I am not the president, a congressman, senator. Just a citizen who demands his rights in spite […]
Maybe it was because people did not like Hillary Clinton. But the comparison between the two candidates’ hands down favored Clinton in ability, judgement, and understanding Americas’ needs. Time and time again, our president has shown he does not care for the nation or its people or the needs facing each. It is all about […]
The problem with this goal is they could and more likely than not fight back. When people are left with no alternatives, they will do what they need to do to protect themselves from others.

So, for me, this isn’t surprising: “At around 12:13 a.m., officers responded to a call about a person with a gun at 309 Linden Street, the Bristol district attorney’s office said. “Officers said they found Nigel Vaughn, […]
When you hear the term “More Likely than Not,” whoever says such is saying it is not 100%. When you heard the term, it is thought the probably of something occurring is greater than 50%. “The more likely than not’ standard establishes the measure of proof required for a party to succeed in a legal […]
Some court cases at the SCOTUS level which have had decisions made or are still progressing. I believe you have heard of all of them at one time or another. Not terribly long reads (a couple of paragraphs . . . if that much). “SCOTUStoday for Thursday, February 5, SCOTUSblog.” Brief reads (partials) as taken […]
Could Trump Really “Take Over” the Midterm Elections? Robert Reich My first thought would be, no he can not do so. I believe the courts would move quickly to block such action. The question should be, would Trump defy the courts? In which can and if he does such, what should we as citizens do? […]
