Know Your Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court
A Very Short Introduction
May 31, 2012

By Linda Greenhouse, the Knight Distinguished Journalist-in-Residence, a Senior Research Scholar in Law and Joseph Goldstein Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School. Greenhouse, a member of the American Constitution Society's Board of Directors, will be signing copies of her new book at the 2012 ACS National Convention.

Know Your Supreme Court


Some excerpts :

Has there been a time recently when public understanding of the Supreme Court was so important – and so lacking?

In a Pew poll two summers ago, only 28 percent of the respondents could identify John Roberts as chief justice (a position he had then held for nearly five years) from among a list of four names. The other options, all of which some people selected, were Thurgood Marshall, who had died 17 years earlier; John Paul Stevens, who was in the news for retiring; and Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. Just imagine what people don’t know about how the court sets its agenda or construes statutes, or about the powers of the chief justice or the debate over constitutional interpretation.

With a court of conservative activists substituting their policy judgments for those of Congress; using the First Amendment as a deregulatory tool; and proposing to unsettle long-settled understandings of affirmative action and voting rights, it’s essential that we become a nation of knowledgeable, or at least better-informed, court-watchers. That’s the big ambition of my new little book – and I use the word “little” as an accurate physical description (7 by 4.5 inches in dimension, 117 pages of text), not as false modesty.   

************************

As I worked on the book, the audience I had in mind was basically the audience I internalized during nearly 30 years of covering the Supreme Court for The New York Times: smart people who came to the subject willingly and didn’t have to be pandered to or spoon fed. My goal was to demystify the Supreme Court for these readers, to arm them with the knowledge they need to observe the court on an ongoing basis. If students – high school, college, or law school – happen upon the book, so much the better. I was thrilled when a class of A.P. United States history students from a New York City public high school showed up at a book talk I gave at Cooper Union in Manhattan.

**************************

Romney's goal is to present Obama’s economic record as independent from the financial crisis. Mitt continues to blame Obama for job losses that occurred before the stimulus took effect, otherwise, they would have to contend with the fact that the economy has created 3.6 million private sector jobs under Obama, and unemployment is on a downwards slope

.

Excerpts from "The American Prospect" :

"Relying on a misleading “net” tally is the only way the Romney campaign can make its core claim that Obama has been destructive for the economy."

"It’s worth noting that the Romney campaign would be in a worse position if the press were willing to evaluate its numbers."

"If Romney is able to convince Americans that he is qualified to help the economy, he’ll have an uncritical press to thank."

How the Attack on Massachusetts Could Backfire



***************************

NYT : Mitt Romney wants to amend the Constitution to require the president to have business experience, but Government on any level : local, state or federal is not a business and cannot be run as such - American History refutes Romney

.

American History shows how Mitt Romney is in error : History proves his assertions to be false, invalid, and in error, American History is a Great refutation of Romney's Ideas. Mitt Romney should be very ignorant in these matters :

"Obama got hit with the Bush hangover, his overall job numbers show a net loss of about 850,000, from January 2009 to the present. But if you start a year into his presidency, Obama has added almost four million jobs"

"The biggest job creator of modern times, Bill Clinton, wouldn’t know a spreadsheet from a cooked derivative. His business experience was nil, but he had governing smarts, and his instincts were usually right. Under Clinton’s watch, the United States added 23 million new jobs — this after he raised “job-killing” taxes on the rich."

The Wrong Résumé
By TIMOTHY EGAN
May 31, 2012


The Wrong Résumé

Some excerpts :

On Tuesday, the same day Trump proved yet again that money and truth, like money and taste, are seldom twined, Romney talked about amending the Constitution to require the president to have business experience. He spoke approvingly of a notion from a store owner who wanted to make anyone who does not have at least three years of business background ineligible to lead the country.

“He said, ‘I’d like to have a provision in the Constitution that in addition to the age of the president and the citizenship of the president and the birth place of the president being set by the Constitution, I’d like it also to say that the president has to spend at least three years working in business before he could become president of the United States,’” said Romney, cheerfully summarizing this rewrite of the founders’ governing blueprint.

Well, there goes Teddy Roosevelt, the writer, rancher and police commissioner, not to mention his distant cousin Franklin Roosevelt, the assistant naval secretary and politician, or Dwight Eisenhower, the career soldier. Ike’s résumé, which includes defeating the world’s most concentrated form of evil in Nazi Germany, would not be not enough to qualify him for the presidency.

Romney has made business experience the main reason to elect him. Without his business past or his projections of business future, there is no there there. But history shows that time in the money trade is more often than not a prelude to a disastrous presidency. The less experience in business, the better the president.

In a scholarly ranking of great presidents, a 2009 survey conducted by C-Span,6 of the 10 best leaders lacked sufficient business experience to be president by Romney’s rumination. This list includes Ronald Reagan, the actor, union activist and corporate spokesman, and John F. Kennedy, the naval officer, writer and politician. There is one failed businessman on the list of great presidents, the haberdasher Harry S. Truman.

By contrast, two 20th century businessmen — George W. Bush, whose sweetheart deal with the Texas Rangers made him a multimillionaire, and Herbert Hoover, who came by his mining fortune honestly — were ranked among the worst presidents ever by the same historians. Bush left the country in a sea of debt and an economic crisis rivaled only by the one that engulfed Hoover.

Both George W. Bush and Romney are Harvard Business School graduates, further padding their business cred. Once they started governing, both men failed to improve the economic lives of those under them.

.

Mitt Romney constantly repeats lies, even if warned by the Responsible Media, that his assertions are false.

Mitt blames President Obama for the sins of Republicans, for the policies that Republicans have forced on the nation.

Romney a super coward that evaded the Vietnam War with being a "Mormon Missionary" in France wants to swift-Boat Obama falsely as a coward using a lot of lies. The Coward Bully that had a posse of coward bullies at age 18 and that used it to assault the sissies and the weaklings wants to depict Obama as a sissy and coward.

Romney is not a macho, but an ignorant coward. He has no experience in foreign policy.

Romney is topmost in Cowards and Narcissists.

Mitt Romney ran for Governor of Massachusetts promising more jobs, decreased debt, and smaller government.

Here's what Massachusetts got instead:

Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation

Taxes and fees: Increased more than $750 million per year

Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion

Fact is, Romney economics didn't work then, and won't work now.

Two VIDEOs, the foundations of Monotheism in the Bible, accepted by Judaism, Christianity and Islam - The Sacred Scriptures of Mormonism are Polytheist and Pagan, totally contrary to the Monotheism of the three Great Religions

.

God Himself speaks in the Bible against Polytheism - Almost all the Prophets of the Old Testament thundered against Polytheism. There is only one God.

A discourse from a serious Biblical Scholar, I have watched many of his videos and programs. Mormon Theology is fundamentally Polytheist and contradicts thousands of passages in the Bible.

I love, like and respect Shawn McCraney as a Scholar that contributes to my knowledge and understanding of these Religious Matters.

Alathea Ministries is based in Salt Lake City, Utah and was founded by former Latter-Day Saint Shawn McCraney. Alathea seeks to proclaim the truth of God through mediums of television, Bible studies, and books. The television ministry for Alathea includes the popular TV show "Heart of the Matter" in Salt Lake City that reaches out to thousands of people every week as it teaches the differences between Mormonism and Biblical Christianity. Adam's Road has appeared on the television show four years in a row. You can watch the show at www.hotm.tv

Mormon Polytheism Examined and Exposed - 1 of 2

Uploaded by testskriftene on Jan 5, 2011

Mormons believe in more than one God. Three Gods for this earth (planet earth), and countless gods before God the Father... tritheism, polytheism, they can say they only believe in one God, in the sense that they only worship one God... and some other mormons say that only the Father is God, and Jesus is "god of the old testament"... much confusion among the LDS people.. but they do not believe in what the Bible declares God to be

Voter suppression in Florida could swing presidential election :

Eliminating 180,000 people to steal the Election in Florida. Mostly Voters for the Democratic Party.

This is outrageous - The voters that are purged are mostly those that usually vote for the Democratic Party : Hispanics, Blacks, Students, Young People, etc ..... -- Terrible Mistakes in Florida seem to be extremely partisan. Eliminating those voting places that vote Democratic, and eliminating the dates ( some sundays for example ) in which Black and Hispanic Workers can vote.

Florida is the master state in deciding elections by secret, hidden and ugly methods. Big Bag of Dirty Tricks.

Immigration Lawyers Gary Endelman and Cyrus D. Mehta think that SB 1070 is unconstitutional. - If the Supreme Court upholds this law, some Intelligent States can use Lemons to make Lemonade and turn a problem into an opportunity

.

People threatened under the Anti-Immigrant and hate laws can move to the Tolerant States and become an economic asset for Economic Development in such places.

Immigrants ( legal or illegal ), Latinos and all Minorities are Human Beings and as such they are an economic asset, this demography is always of a much lower age than the White Population.

Some Intelligent States of the Union will use the Immigrants Legal or Illegal to promote their own Economic Prosperity. The Immigrants that flee from Arizona, Alabama and Georgia may be an Economic boom for Tolerant States.

Human Beings are consumers and workers, and the younger the better for Economic Development and for Education, like learning new technical skills for International Competition.

Some states may soon experience labor shortages and depopulation. That is why these lawyers suggest many changes to State Laws to be Welcoming to these threatened but economically very useful and positive people.
