I think the point the Supremes are making is that the establishment clause has been misinterpreted for years. They are oddly, trying to make religion more important under law, when it seems that is becoming less important in a growing number of people's lives.
Love that ad. It doesn't say vote for me because I'm right or left. It says vote for me because I plan to do something and oh yeah, my opponent is an old fart just like everyone else in politics. I do get the right to hold this against him when he's 80 and still in politics though.

Just more people in one place. We can get into all the ills of society about the poor and down trodden and why they are, but there are just more in a larger city hoping for some opportunity. Sometimes that opportunity is crime. I also think in smaller towns everyone knows everyone so we tend not to treat people we know as bad.
And greenways... you forgot how greenways welcome crime.

Be quiet or I'll order a code red on you.
Because the social contract is dead among lower income and Black and brown communities.
I know that the GOP has the standing comment about crime rates in Democrat run cities, but I wonder if there is an actual causation, is it correlation, or is it something else? We have a medium size democrat run City not too far from us, and it is almost a routine to hear about a shooting over there on the morning news. However a few weeks ago we were talking about crime in general with our police chief, and she indicated that violent crime is going up all over the place. It hit home for us yesterday as there was a shooting a few blocks from City Hall during mid afternoon. It does not sound like it was a random event.
Personally, I don't buy into the idea that a Democrat Mayor is more likely to take action, or lack there of, that causes increased crime rates. I am not even sure if people believe that those who are commit crimes or associate with those who do vote in these elections. But when you look at the crime rates, the highest violent crime rates are almost all democrat run cities. What do you think is the cause for this association?

By: SafeHome.org Research Updated: Dec 21, 2022 Compared to data from 2010, violent crime in the U.S. is trending up, while property is down by 33-percent. Small and extra-small cities have lower property crime rates than large- and medium-sized cities, but the differences are minimal. Crime is...
Free Volvos for everyone...
And too many of them have blown way past it.
It's an average. For every 80 year old geezer sitting on the ways and means committee there's a shooting star whose career tanks due to hookers and blow.
Or, in Bill Clinton's case, takes off like a rocket.
Functional addiction is a real thing.
Haha nice!
Chicago does have a Dem Mayor, but if one actually listens to her on crime issues, she's a hard ass, but there's more retirement than replacement in the Chicago PD and there are piles and piles of illegal guns flowing into the City that really no one would reasonably be able to affect unless they started using less than ethical and/or moral policing measures.

I'll have to research it more. Thanks for the cite.For murders and shootings, things are better than a year ago. I would be interested in knowing the details of the programs to help keep illegal guns off the street. There needs to be more of that.
Chicago sees a drop in homicides and shootings, but carjackings and other crimes are up from year ago
The drop in shootings has been greatest in 15 of the city’s most violent community areas. Those neighborhoods still accounted for 64% of the city’s homicides and 60% of the people shot.

Wow... these stats really surprise me. Other than DC, every other state has less than a 50% college completion rate and less than a 1/3 of the US?
I always have receipts.
Having lived in the South most of my life, I think people here don't realize how much crime, especially murders take place. We average under 10 homicides every year. That's no where near as many of as a big city. But on a per capita basis we're almost always at 20-25 per 100,000. About a month ago, WSJ or some other national publication had an article about the "Rural Crime Wave".
Ah sure... I just asked for the data behind it. I never said that I didn't agree with it. I just like data that's all.

Supreme Court Justices are technically not members of any political parties. Seems less and less to be the case with each passing administration.
I think Justice Breyer is retiring because of what has transpired with the process of the recent nominations to SCOTUS. More justices should contemplate this given how broken the Senate's approach has been.Ah sure... I just asked for the data behind it. I never said that I didn't agree with it. I just like data that's all.
Getting back to SCOTUS, the Retirement of Justice Breyer has been in the works for a while and will be effective at noon tomorrow.
Breyer makes it official: He's leaving the Supreme Court on Thursday at noon
Justice Stephen Breyer has notified the White House that his retirement will be effective Thursday, June 30, at noon ET.
My question to you is in light of RGB's death during the Trump presidency, do you think more Justices will retire while their party is in office vs serve until death?
I'd say the Mitch McConnel-induced Constitutional crisis where the Senate failed to discharge their duty to vote yes or no on Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court significantly increased the partisan nature and function of the Court.
