This morning the Supreme Court overturned all statewide bans on gay marriage, so gay marriage is now “The Law of the land”. Justice Kennedy wrote the majority decision. They say that the court foreshadowed this ruling by one two years ago where the word “dignity” kept cropping up in the decision. The court could have overturned bans on gay marriage then but didn’t. I do not approve of this ruling, of course. Terry and all those people’s prayers the day the case was heard, went unheard by God. Whatever I thought of Shawn Hannity’s remarks of yesterday, I fully expect to be in substantial agreement with Shawn today. Here indeed is the case of a Court legislating from the bench and trying to make policy that is properly handled by the legislatures of the “several states”. One must remember that it wasn’t that many years ago where there was a raft of about a dozen states had referendums on gay marriage- - and all twelve states including California voted in favor of banning gay marriages. But liberals have this saying about how “The courts should lead the way in public opinion” and now 58% of the American people now favor gay marriage. Not all that long ago the figure was 29% favoring it. Seldom has there been such a complete turn-around on such a major issue. Today the Orion Federation issued a statement praising this gay marriage ruling, but the Federation also has its vase areas of domain where the local population do not agree with gay marriage. I don’t like the idea of Johnson and Johnson or anybody else ‘preaching’ to me about who I should and should not accept. Rush Limbaugh pointed out that these ads break from a longstanding practice to “push the product and to make money”. Here the agenda would appear to be something else. If this trend were to continue about propagandizing in ads- - perhaps one of you, the reader of this- - opinion might be impacted next. I think this opinion treads on state’s rights in a major way and sets a bad precedent. I think there are other areas where federal regulations have become intrusive. And I’d say the same thing of a right wing president trying to impose their law.
Norman Goldman says
“The Supreme Court interprets what laws mean - - all the time. That’s kind of what they do”. I don’t think the word “only” is in the law,
but Shawn inserted it on a regular basis saying “Only the state exchanges
qualify for government subsedies”. The
word “only” completely changes the meaning of the statement and Shawn knows
it. It’s disingenuous for Sean Hannity
to say that somehow congress WANTED the disastrous outcome of the ACA if the
court had ruled the other way. The bias
if there is any is to be biased in “trying to get the laws to work”. “There are contradictory laws all the
time”. OK, now we know. Also stated was “The Federal Government
would never pass a law with the intent that it fail”. Also there is the “no ticking time-bomb”
argument. State Attorney Generals have
petitioned the court not to nullify the subsidy part of this law because “We
didn’t know and never would have failed to set up the exchanges if this were
the case”. This was Anthony Kennedy’s
argument. It seems Norman used to be
legal analyst for Ed Schultz and he was scathing in his attacks on the
affordable care act when the bill was in the pipeline. The caller says “I’m old school. I’m a single payer guy from way back”. Norman says some states may get single payer
in 2017
In today’s triple play
of blog posts- - the United States “tested” mustard gas on Blacks and various
Polynesian or “savage” races just after World War II. It would seem a dialog about some sort of
reperations is in order here. Then there
was the posting on the massacre by the Israelis of the people of Gaza cutting
off their fishing rights blockading them and bombing them back to the stone age
and smashing the dreams of its citizens. The Israelis can make all their rationalizations about Gaza, but clearly they did not respect the "free election" where Hammas won. People look at the slaughter that went on in Gaza last summer- - like shooting big fish in a small fish tank- - and instinctively know there is something just "not Christian" about this. But of course Jews aren't Christians. Then there was the posting on how the uninsured rate for Obama care is
now down one and a half percent from 2008.
But all the while when President Obama was bragging about how great
Obama Care was the rate of the uninsured was actually rising. The reasoning behind it goes like this. People were told that “something a lot better
than what you have now” is just around the corner. A lot of people let their old policies lapse
because they didn’t want to be locked in contractually to an inferior
policy. But of course the implementation
of Obama Care was delayed almost endlessly.
As you remember President Obama campaigned on universal or total health
care coverage in 2008.
In the spirit of putting more Science in Science Fiction - let's talk about the Romulan cloaking device. We have spoken of all space being "constructed" around certain specific algerithms which "sets the perameters" of various dimensions. The next question is "How do scientists discover the algerithm of our own Space? The answer is- - since the algerithm defines the dimension (s) then we have to get OUTSIDE the dimension to know what the algerithm is. If you were a tile on a flat mosaic you could not know the pattern of said mosaic because you have to get away from it to see it. It's kind of like a fish not knowing that water is wet because it has no basis of comparison. We have spoken of acceleration to great speeds beyond the acceleration of light and you ask "How". Well- - is it easier to push a car that is in gear or in neutral. In neutral of course. This is because the whole gear drive apperatus is disengaged. Here is another way of looking at it. Picture some plastic building blocks like legos or something. Now stipulate that there are little bumps and holes on these blocks that lock into each other. But in order to lock in- - the patterns of both blocks have to jive or match. If they don't- - they don't mesh and the blocks would slide over each other much more easily being made of poly vinyl chloride plastic or whatever. We have informed you the incoming EM radiation and gravitational fields- - are in force. But YOU in the ship are cloaked- - and your OWN gravity doesn't propagate out into ordinary space. So you travel through ordenary space but you aren't "Locked into it". So you as it were- - slide by. You are not subject to the same acceleration problems of your own mass because as far as you are concerned- - it's like a football wide receiver running outside the out of bounds line to get away from the traffic to later catch the ball. (Which is illegal, of course) Same principle. In terms of the nature of Romulan space we have referred to it as GMO space, because it's "space" that does not naturally occur in Nature. Nature only produces straight line space-time. This is warped space. (I do not know if this is where Star Trek got their warp factor or not- probably not) We have spoken of this GMO space as being non co plainer because it's a different specific algerithm. You can physically engage space only constructed in this same algerithm. But "Only God can produce space radiating out in a different ("sunburst" direction like parrellel universes. This is the Stewart Sutcliffe principle. God does straight lines. God produces radiating lines - - and the nearby lines are not quite parrellel but highly oblique. This becomes important because the whole "time space" thing is NOT altered in the long term. Indeed we have said that "Time is not affected at all in this process". Well, that's our lesson for today.
