Can A Supreme Court Re-define Words?

[F.J. Mitchell]

Judging by many warped Supreme Court decisions over the past half century, I would say they can change anything they please, and there's not a thing we can do about it.

Got Remedy?

I wish I did. Prayers for others. Involvement instead of apathy. Discuss situations with family, friends and neighbors. Attend a function that you know Libs like to dominate. Stuff like social justice committees, preservation societies, peace groups, etc. Make them display their intolerence for you in public. We know they are hypocrites let them display such on local levels. Then record, publish and disseminate. The average American is smart enough to recognize deceit when he sees it IMO. Dialogue works well when you say what you mean and mean what you say. Two very hard things for someone with a duplicative nature I would imagine. It has been my experience that if you keep your composure in the midst of Liberals they will lose theirs. I would guess just staying involved and learning has got to help. And vote. And this is my plug for American Labor, (still the greatest workforce in the world - even though it has been infested with commies in various places), please buy Made in the USA.

""Great Mom! We had lots of snacks and sodas." "

Good one, WT.

"And yes, Mom, we were chaperoned by a 'married' couple, so there was nothing to worry about."

I think it's a case for the legislature not the courts.

Correct. But the courts can (and will) do just about anything they want if the legislatures avoid the responisbility. Legislative malpractice is the basis for the activist court decisions being made nowdays.

If you can not see Red then you would not be able to see at rpure red if was on or off - no matter what position. Imagine the light being infrared. Humans can not see infrared light - on or off.

Interesting. I carry the gene for color-blindness, am waiting to confirm that my son doesn't have it. So far, so good.

Best wishes.

Jeepers... Thanks for the heads up!

You would be surprised at how often the R/G color blindness creates a problem. Lots of computer peripherials have LEDs that glow either red or green. People create web pages with red text on black backgrounds. Airplanes, boats, marker bouys and things like that have Red/Green lights to distiguish left from right. People color code graphs with red and green.

We R/G color blind people do have a big advantage in the woods, forrests and jungles. We can distinquish shapes and details that other people can not. R/G color blind people make good hunters.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

From my understanding, my brother is blue-green color blind. This gene comes from my mother, I am a carrier, and my son could be color-blind.

However, so far we haven't noticed any difficulties.

I guess those of us who see normally, take for granted our vision. I understand the difficulties that you mention with streetlights, computer displays, buoys, etc. However, in some respects, not knowing what true red or green looks like, cannot be that much of a handicap, can it? I mean, how can you ever know the color that your eyes have never seen? Or, am I being too simplistic?

Timely confirmation that 1 + 1 = 6

An excellent article on the new math being used in the courts. Kudos to LocalT for posting it and Pan_Yans_Wife for the ping..

From the above linked essay

"Words could be destroyed, he said, by wantonly expanding their meanings so that they came completely to replace a whole range of older, more specific, and more definite terms and usages. This all sounds painfully familiar. One sees the term ‘civilization’ being deliberately expanded in order to embrace some very uncivilized behavior indeed. "

BINGO!
