Warren -- I don't agree with all ...Thanks all.<br /><br />Warren -- I don't agree with all Supreme Court decisions, but I do believe they were correct when they said only Congress could suspend the writ of habeas corpus. And, I do not think it is well for presidents to unilaterally reject the judicial part of our three branches of government just because it seems convenient at the time. Two years later, Congress passed a law that did what Lincoln wanted. If it were a crisis they could have done it in 1861.<br /><br />Aloha,<br />~ Jim<br />Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-34070593063181127252017-03-26T15:10:56.934-04:002017-03-26T15:10:56.934-04:00Wonderful.

I'm totally aware of the history of our country that hasn't been the perfect country so many people believed it was. Throughout the years there has always been prejudice of others who aren't exactly like whatever color or nationality they are. I hate to see it still happening, and it seems to be getting worse instead of better.

Pastor Neimoller expressed this thought numerous times, often in slightly different terms.)<br />KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-36794821830744482162017-03-26T11:44:18.762-04:002017-03-26T11:44:18.762-04:00Well said, Jim!

The Supreme Court made the worst decision in its history ruling that a black man could never be a citizen and had no rights a white person needed to pay attention to. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say the court would have made winning the Civl War much much more difficult.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-53268859484506315622017-03-26T09:43:14.976-04:002017-03-26T09:43:14.976-04:00Thank you for explaining so clearly and succinctly...Thank you for explaining so clearly and succinctly why "e pluribus unum" is an American value, and why we must continue to fight for it, learn from our mistakes, and vow to do better (and every day there are opportunities to do better). We are all in this American experiment together. May we never forget what that means.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05843235860651070479noreply@blogger.com
