  • The Glass Is Half Full

    It has been about two weeks since President Trump has taken the oath of office (mind you, without placing his hand on the bible; not that it bothers me, nor is it required by the Constitution, but something that may be of potential interest or significance to the vast number of Christian and especially evangelical…

  • Which Countries Released Their Criminals into the US?

  • A Glimmer of Hope?

    On January 9th, the Supreme Court of the United States, on a 5-4 vote rejected the former president’s request to block proceedings in his hush money case in New York, meaning that the sentencing will proceed as scheduled for 1/10. The lawyers for the former president wrote in their request that “This Court should enter…

  • What Now? A Post-Mortem

    So Jack Smith has asked Judge Chutkan and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss the DoJ’s prosecution of the former president, for both the January 6th election subversion case, as well the Florida classified documents case. The January 6th case was in front of Judge Chutkan waiting for a decision possibly following briefings…

  • Your Body, My Choice

    If you feel angry by just reading the title of this post, you are not alone. Millions of women in America are now feeling angry by seeing the misogynistic posts with this title all over the social media, posted by self-proclaimed “alpha” males who feel empowered by the results of the recent presidential election. Their…

  • The Joke Is on Me!

    You are probably wondering if I made a typo or some other mistake in choosing the title of this post. I did not. Bear with me for a few minutes, and you will agree. A few weeks ago, I posted a piece with the title “Poetic Justice,” in which I argued that the conservative super-majority…

  • Poetic Justice

    On July 1st, the Supreme Court, or rather the conservative super-majority of the Supreme Court, handed down an opinion which arguably will go down as one of the most disgraceful rulings in the history of the Supreme Court. In the opinion written by the Chief Justice Roberts and joined by the rest of the conservative…

  • A DEI Hire, or Someone I don’t Like?

    Disclaimer: this is a fictional short story, with fictional characters. It examines potential consequences of the immunity the former president plans on extending to all police officers, after he was handed his own absolute immunity by the Supreme Court. Justice Thomas lives in a neighborhood where his neighbors are predominantly liberal. One of his next-door…

  • Be Careful, Mr President!

    This is what Justice Gorsuch said during a recent interview with Fox News. To be precise, the following is a direct quote from the above NBC article, which includes the exact statements he made during the interview: Asked by Fox News’ Shannon Bream to respond to Biden’s proposal, Gorsuch told her, “You’re not going to…

  • Statutes of Limitation

    It is not too difficult to find laws that seem counter-intuitive. For example, if I understand correctly, in both state and federal laws, the request for recusal of a judge from a case should first be handled by the judge himself. That is, the very same judge that is being requested to be recused, for…
