FOCUS: Considering the Supreme Court and its recent decisions

By Ashley Herndon  |  Our Supreme Court SMOTE us with various verdicts this summer.  With each, another nail hit the coffin of our democracy.  The attack was led and controlled by the ultraconservative theocratic religious right.  If you do not feel helpless in halting this fast-moving train wreck, then “you just might be one.”

BRACK: Congress can step into breach of rights by the Court

BRACK: Congress can step into breach of rights by the Court

By Elliott Brack  |  The two bomb blasts handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court last week may serve as a rallying cry to change our nation.  It won’t be easy, and it won’t be quick. 

When the court hands down verdicts that a majority of the people are not in step with, something eventually must give.  We have little doubt that a majority of Americans, and especially women,  think it should be an individual woman’s fundamental right to terminate a pregnancy.

Perry

ANOTHER VIEW: Is a U.S. minority (Catholics) getting upper hand in justice?

By Raleigh Perry  |   certainly have no heavy duty problem with a black female Court Justice.  It is about time.  The only problem that I have with her is that I am tired of Harvard and Yale educated members of the Supreme Court.  There is not enough diversity on the court.  Too much of the same does not necessarily get justice to everyone who comes before it.  Congress is full of these single minded people also.

BRACK: Big dose of activities this week: Scoreboard 3-0, politicians

By Elliott Brack |  Georgians got a triple dose of  politics this week. It didn’t taste good. First came the announcement that Chief Justice David Nahmias that he would resign after 12 years on the Georgia Supreme Court. That wasn’t so unusual. But note the timing of his announcement.
