Ketanji Brown Jackson looking for The People

With a new job, dealing just with the basics, not the years of written responses and case law, Justice Brown Jackson took a Word version of the entire Constitution and looked for the word "people."

"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Hmm, the people seem to be in there somewhere. There are rules about militias and also unlawful searches and seizures, but it really is not much. Somewhere in the amendments,  mostly after the Civil War, the people made brief appearances.

She did know it was a rather old documents, but it was still a shock. Most of the rights go to the states, not the people.

Trump and Democrat to debate on Twitter in 2024

President Trump announced that there will be no normal debate in 2024 when he will run for president the third time. "The Democrats can send Biden or any other loser to the debate. It will be on Twitter. There will be no moderator. I have arranged this with Twitter. During the debate I and the Democrat will Tweet back and forth on any topic that comes up. You can have technical help. I think Joe for sure does not know how to do a quote tweet. So during our one hour debate we will tweet on a number of topics. No other Twitter poster can answer, it will be set up so that I and Joe or the other loser they pick...please don't pick Kamala folks...will be doing like a duel or a fight. The gloves are off! It will be a terrific event followed by tens of millions!"

Twitter users can then on their own Twitter feed respond to the president as well, but those will not show until the debate is over.

The account will look like an active account but all of Trump's tweets are still in the Twitter archive.

Donald Trump has a ten point plan to Make America Great Again in 2025. Number one on the list is to evict the United Nations from New York. "It's just a step toward world government. And there are Muslims in it. We are going to send it to Switzerland."

Lauren Boebert will start a fracking program in all states except Hawaii as Secretary of The Interior.

Lastly, Marjorie Taylor will be Secretary of State. She will be sent on a mission around the world to recall all US troops and present the bill for security in those countries for 2000-2024. And she will test gymnasiums in hotels around the world.

Alito: Things Deeply Rooted in Our Nation's History and Tradition

There are a few things deeply rooted in tradition in the United States. But abortion is not. So says Samuel Alito.

Journalists caught up with Alito and asked him about several federal agencies.

Sir, do you think the EPA, in service for 50 years, is deeply rooted in our tradition?

Alito: No, the EPA is not deeply rooted in our nation's history and tradition. Their rules are rather arbitrary and not listed in a thorough piece of legislation.

The DEA?

Alito: No, the DEA is not deeply rooted in our nation's history and tradition.  There was no federal agency up to World War I and they got opiate to the troops as needed. It was not a problem we can't deal with at the state level. The government can buy its own morphine for the military.

The FDA?

Alito: That goes back to a 1939 law. It is somewhat rooted in our nation's history and tradition. But the commissioner has too much power for an unelected official. States can take care of these things. Not need to send the FDA to every little recall.

The Department of Education?

Alito: No, it is not deeply rooted in our nation's history and tradition.  And don't try to bring school shootings into this. States can control this by several means, such as doors.

The Department of Labor?

Alito:  The Department of Labor is not deeply rooted in our nation's history and tradition.

The Department of Transportation:

Alito: yes, the government can control that. The Commerce Clause.

Justices Alito and Thomas: Bring it on! We will eliminate regulation!

With the supreme court on a roll deleting old liberal practices, egregious practices like abortion and that horrible EPA, justices Alito and Thomas are ready to take on the federal government.

"With all these regulations and the US running out of oil for example, we really need to be flexible now. No more regulations." The pair invite those suffering from overregulation by the federal government to bring in cases." They will allow some regulation of commerce, the FBI, the FCC and a few other things, but in most cases "there is no justification of the egregious rules that stop enterprise." If those things, like pollution, need to be regulated on a local basis, the states can still do it. "It's in the constitution! All those rights go to the states."

Thomas and Alito will look at anything added after 1950 in particular. "The world was a much better place before that!"

Samuel Alito rules in favor of Phlogiston

 With the federal agency EPA attempting to regulate air, the Supreme Court had to take action. After careful analysis of the science of 1700s Europe and America, Alito has decided that carbon dioxide was not a THING then. Therefore it cannot be regulated. It is not in the Constitution.

Alito does not want to leave the EPA completely without work. The elements are still there: air, fire and water. In particular, there were also gases known in the 1700s. Alito will throw a bone in the direction of the EPA and tells them in his latest opinion draft that they are to work on PHLOGISTON from now on.

Book Store Guy in Baseball Cap was Scholar

 

Kansas City, MO -- Stopping by the local Barnes and Noble store to get some school books, Pam Tillson and daughter Amy were looking at a copy of Merchant of Venice. A guy in a baseball cap, looking much like the store's barista, was taking a lot of space in front of the Shakespeare shelf. When he noticed them, he immediately started to give advice on editions. Turned out he was Shakespeare scholar named Barry from Oxford or something. He spoke a perfect British accent and could recite long parts of the dialogue. Amy, 14, was very charmed, as was mom.

Barry was done browsing and moved outdoors to one of the bookstore doorways that was not in use.
