    Because what is being proposed is the opposite of judicial reform. It is intended to make judiciary less fair, less responsive. To make the entire judicial system a weapon for one person, Trump. To be sure he is never held accountable for his crimes. To repress anyone who opposed him, for example, they are talking about jailing journalists who criticize Trump. Just like Putin does. To jail political opponents. Like Putin. See a pattern here?

    Off topic and for the record I am not obligated to reply to everyone every time. I do have a life.

    Ahh that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying about the judicial portion.

    No, you aren't obligated to respond to anything. But like most, I give respect to those who can admit mistakes instead of dismissing them with silence. Very few around here are seemingly capable of doing so it seems. We all have lives. And we all choose what we respond to. When I'm asked a question for clarity, I will respond out of respect, not ignore and then claim I have a life as a reason for not responding to a mistake I was made aware of...But I suppose I hold myself to a higher standard than some...

    Hope your garden is doing well.

    Garden is fine, thank you. Sometimes I can lose points of discussion or it seems someone is baiting. Or I am just swamped. Cat, house, garden, baking business exploding, two daily workouts, keeping up with reading and knitting. Retirement my ass!

    Tell me about it. Completely tore down my large garden area and moving it to the other side of my property. Also had to tear down my mixing room in my studio, so I can complete the remodel. adding flooring, new drywall, recessed lighting and the works to match my main room, so the whole studio will be like new and appealing to bands I bring in to record.

    Tennessee state legislature working on a bill, which will almost certainly pass, banning pride flags in schools where children can see them. They explicitly allow display of racist treason Confederate flags because banning them violates free speech.

    Republican JR Majewski, candidate for Congress from Ohio, is not dropping out despite reaction to his saying of Special Olympics that no matter how well you perform, you are still fucking retarded. He said he is standing for all the patriots, which apparently does not include families of people with developmental disabilities.

    As the father of a child with developmental disabilities this just turns my stomach. This clown has no business being elected dog catcher let alone being elected to congress.

    Kentucky state legislature working on a bill to eliminate required two 10 minute rest breaks and unpaid 30 minute lunch per 8 hour shift.

    Sponsor says federal law doesn't require breaks so it is confusing that state does, although other states have no problem.

    Businesses may voluntarily provide breaks out of the goodness of their hearts.

    Lieutenant governor of North Carolina is leading candidate for Republican nomination for governor. He said movie Black Panther was written by agnostic Jew and produced by satanic Marxist to make Black people give money to Jews. Said Nazi Holocaust is hogwash. Calls public school teachers wicked. Called students who survive school shootings spoiled brats who should shut up and coined term "prosti-tots" to reger to them.

    Homelessness has become a big business, funded by the govt.

    Too many people are making too much money on homelessness. There is no incentive for them to actually fix the problem. And put themselves out of a secure good paying jobs.
