Mid-June I urged a prayer for Dr. Fauci's speedy recovery. Got little response. Well... I recognize illness is not the same as being violently attacked such as was done in the violent attempted coup of Jan. 6th. However the point is none of us should want any physical harm to another whether by sickness or violence. Obviously, we all should pray for the safety of Thomas & family. And we should pray for the safety of all Americans. Wishing violence or illness on another is never the answer. It is wrong. Well?

What will the woke NFL do, pull the superbowl out of no-abortion states? I'm not going to join the moral arguments which can't be won but there are many other issues this ruling raises that are fascinating. Without getting into the question about the right or wrong of abortion (of any other controversial issue), I do not like sports leagues taking major stands like this. I hope the NFL and other sports leagues don't get involved in local politics

Well, if people actually prayed for him and his family, that was a response...no? It would only be necessary for God to hear those prayers, not us on Crossports...just my opinion.

Of course you are correct. You have a good heart which I try to emulate. But, there was an entirely appropriate thumbs up by some about praying for the safety of Thomas but these same individuals made no response about praying for Fauci. My post was an honest attempt at building bridges. Pray for all, especially those with whom one disagrees or dislikes. No doubt you, my friend are & have been a role model for many schoolmates, your students friends and most important your family. Peace.

I don't think the US Postal Workers and election workers, town clerks and local cops who work every precinct polling place in America got enough credit for pulling off the 2020 election seamlessly at the height of the pandemic. After sixty+ lawsuits and numerous recounts and forensic audits, the system held and produced the most secure election in US History according to the top Election Security Official at the homeland security Dept., Mr. Krebs?
I thought the Postmaster General was going to starve the mail carriers and mail processing center workers of the resources necessary to get all the mail in ballots delivered on time, but the Postal workers - including many veterans - got the job done. 🇺🇸

The Crazies? Are those who attempted a violent coup the crazies too? Or, is it only those we disagree with who are the crazies. Some are latching on to criticize some despicable people who threaten Thomas but avoid confronting the far greater threat of the right wing Proud Boys/Oath Keepers who on 1/6 violently attacked my nations capitol to overturn the result of a free and fair election. I am waiting to read a disavowal cum criticism of these 1/6 crazies. As I wrote violence is not the way to go. It is wrong and reprehensible on all sides. I did not get my talking points from an outside source as did some. Without a firm disavowal of ALL violence, then all comments about the threat by crazies by some are without merit. Political violence is never justified in our nation..That should be clear and easy enough to understand, no?

Let's all pray for Justice Thomas and his family's safety at this time.
It is my sincere hope that Clarence Thomas and his wife will soon start a long and happy quiet retirement.

The Babylon Bee is busting out the prescient zingers. They reported some Lefties took a break from watching the retro Jan 6 hearings to, you know, rush the local government building after hearing of the Supreme Court decision. (Note, the Bee is satire.) Sometimes ya gotta laugh. Because a few hours later we saw this: PHOENIX — Police fired tear gas to disperse abortion rights supporters demonstrating outside the Arizona Capitol Friday night, forcing lawmakers to huddle briefly in a basement inside the building as they rushed to complete their 2022 session. SWAT team members with the Department of Public Safety fired tear gas from second floor of the old Capitol building to disperse protesters in the mall between the current House and Senate buildings. KPHO-TV reported the officers opened fire when several protesters started banging on glass doors of the Senate building.… www.washingtonpost.com/national/roe-protest-disrupts-last-hours-of-2022-arizona-legislature/2022/06/25/7dce1366-f47f-11ec-ac16-8fbf7194cd78_story.html

When will the committee start investigating this violent response to the Supreme Court decision?

^^^. ^^^^. ^^^^^ After they ask the Capital Police why they didn't fire tear gas to disperse the insurgents. Every law enforcement person who attacked the capital along with active military should have been sent to Gitmo.

Every law enforcement person who attacked the capital along with active military should have been sent to Gitmo. They did fire tear gas, it is in the WAPO article I excerpted. The police were properly armed, equipped. and led and doubtlessly had some advance warning of the attack. I haven’t heard of any law involvement in the attack but it hadn’t yet been fully investigated. You never know.

If Biden lied to the demonstrators and caused them to riot and damage the building, he should be impeached, convicted and removed from office. We have to be fair here. Football season cannot begin soon enough.

Without getting into the question about the right or wrong of abortion (of any other controversial issue), I do not like sports leagues taking major stands like this. I hope the NFL and other sports leagues don't get involved in local politics After pulling the all star game from Georgia to protest new voter laws, one imagines MLB baseball is embarrassed that voter participation (including minority) actually went up this cycle in Georgia under the new voter laws. To the surprise of nobody who had actually read the new laws. I don’t see them taking another ‘stand’ (misguided or otherwise) without widening their sources for information and guidance. Correlation is not causation. I think that we can be confident that voter participation in Georgia did not go up because a large number of poling places were eliminated, or because the hours of operation were reduced, or because Sunday voting was eliminated or because mail in voting was restricted. I suspect that highly motivated voters and herculean voter turnout efforts might have something to do with it.

Beyond that, let’s remain open to the possibility the reforms were not quite so onerous (and racist!) as the faux outrage suggested.

How do Georgia’s voting rules and procedures compare to those of other states?
