Scary Supreme Court

 

Letter writer Jim Black speculates whether the Supreme Court would rather anger God or gays. I would be more afraid of angering Justice Antonin Scalia, a renowned “originalist” who asserts that the Constitution is dead. If I were a woman or black or gay, I would be scared to death that this dinosaur would take us back to when all people were deemed to be equal, but not treated so.

Here’s a thought: all of us should register as corporations then this court will give us anything we want. I guess that God favors them, too.

  • Obama no war monger

    There are, of course, many reasons to be grateful that President Obama defeated Sen. John McCain in 2008. But perhaps Syria is the biggest reason.

  • Team’s conduct unbecoming

    Shame on the Miami Heat players, team management and the NBA for the deportment of the Heat players during the playing of the National Anthem before Game 4. Their disrespect was reprehensible and warrants immediate action by the league office. Not one of them rendered appropriate honor to our nation. They looked like a bunch of thugs.
