Democracy is relatively new. I had Latin and I studied ancient history and I've seen HBO Rome at least 3 times, and I had to read the original Cicero and memorized Shakespeare's speeches like Mark Anthony's who came not to praise Caesar.
IMHO we became a true democracy in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act, but SCOTUS rolled it back. We could reinstate it if we sweep.
What we're talking about is our existence. Whether we are sovereign. Whether we are to be a democracy. I want to say I come not to praise Trump or for that matter the henchmen and supplicants who would do in the United States.
I'm big on tests. I had to adjudicate credibility and beside that I had help -- not only would the parties educate me regarding both sides on an issue I could call experts in many types of cases.
My ol pappy was a lifetime prosecutor who would always ask whether witnesses would take a lie detector test, not because they were valid, but because he'd be able to size them up. Police would testify according to the case law on a subject rather than what actually happened.
As a judge, I couldn't do what a jury could do -- rely on demeanor "sit and squirm evidence" because by law I had to "articulate a legitimate reason" for every finding.
So those tests make it easy to substantiate the rendition of facts. The experts would testify as to tests like the MMPI which has "liar scales" and other psychological tests. If an employer can ask candidates for public safety jobs to take tests, even lie detector tests, so should prosecutors. I know this sounds extreme but if our national identity and national security is at stake, maybe that's a valid exception.
2. They raised roughly $100,000 yesterday that translates into 100,000 new registered Democrats. They estimate that they need $3MM to swing the election. Last night was dedicated to North Carolina.
4. Field Team 6 concentrates on young women -- who trend virtually all Democratic. Speakers also included Jessica Craven. Robert Hubbell.
5. I'm calling into Pa and Oh. I did this 4 years ago. I haven't lived there for almost 50 years, but keep in touch -- even with my 1961 HS graduating class.
Thank you for your links...hope to read them later.
My concerns include how to clean up with disinformation that is causing many black and hispanic people to flip to support of Trump. Maybe education about what is specifically included in the voting rights act, and what is being lost without it would be a good place to start.
