Sadly, the US Supreme court struck down Roe V Wade. This was merely the opening round of culture wars! Next comes gay marriage, then the pill etc. Who knows how far they will go, but in gun rights, they will expand that to the point where everyone is required to be armed, well everyone white, except minorities of course… In the 1960 tys California. The black panthers would show up armed with all sorts of guns. Legal guns. This would freak out law enforcement, men, black men, militant black men with guns? OMG!!!!!
They passed, Ronald Reagan, (what ever happened to him?) passed some of the harshest laws on gun control that existed in the USA to control and contain… why those same militant black males. Who incidentally either ended up dead or in jail for life. Hmmm I wonder why?
It is perfectly legal to shoot and kill someone in the street but for a women to abort? Death penalty!
You may not have heard but some of the recent bills to laws on abortion? The women who leaves a state for an abortion. She, legally, gets up and leaves the state for any other reason can do so! Well, if that lady leaves for an abortion, she can be declared a fugitive, dragged back and jailed. They had precedent. They did! They have legal precedents that go back hundreds of years no less! These laws was modeled under the Fugitive Slave acts. You know, when they could drag a fellow human being back to a life of torture and servitude, well sort of. Normal punishment for a runner? They would cut off half a foot so they could never run again… or worse. But they had the brilliant idea that this is how best to track down women who might wish to head to a safe state to abort.
To be honest, if you ask, and you have not, but I am not for abortion. I would never suggest to someone to have an abortion. I don’t think it is the right way to go. However, saying this, I would never interfere with a woman’s right to control her own body. As the baby becomes more viable, the interest of the state must be to protect the child. This is why most states, and Roe V Wade, have within them a sliding scale that at the bottom, early pregnancy, near unlimited freedom to abort but as time passes suchs as a late term there are more and more restrictions. Late term abortions are only done for specific reasons depending on the state. And I think this was a reasonable compromise between a women’s right and the states interest. And you know what? It worked. For 50 years it worked
Here in Canada, we have no abortion law. It was struck down and never passed again. In fact, they vote down any effort to renew it. Yet, the hospitals still adhere to the same sort of rules for abortion. Easy to get when detected early and much harder when the fetus becomes viable. But there is no law to say this is what you must do. It is what doctors say should be done based on medical practise and long standing procedures.
That is who should be listened to. Doctors, not old white males looking at their lost youth and seeing the end of their majority rule coming upon them soon in the next generation.
The only question I have is this: At least 4 justices lied to congress when they said Roe V Wade is settled law. Will anyone have the balls to charge and arrest them for perjury?
The supreme court draft decision that tosses out precedent, stare decisis, of Roe V Wade begins the constitutional crisis. And nothing less. So who leaked it and why? What was their motivation. What are the implications of the decision, and frankly what should be the response?
The motivation is easiest to answer, left or right, the leaker wanted it out there for public reaction. Pro or con, the leaker wants people to react to what was written. So which side leaked it? The case can be equally made for both sides. For that matter, Chef Justice John Roberts might have been the one to do that, so he could gather votes to the side of stare decisis and uphold the precedent. No matter how you look at the leaker, the motivation won’t change.
The implications are a lot more serious. No matter what happens to Roe, this ruling tosses out any hope of holding on to an impartial judicial branch. We just keep bringing cases until we get a court with ideological leanings that tosses out stare decisis. Boom, it’s all gone.
The first case that needs to be tossed under the bus? Marbury v Madison. The case that establishes the court in the first place. The court holds its position as the arbiter of law based on this stare decisis. Without such legal plank to hold the legal ship together, this ship of Theseus will hold no water, and worse, it never did. That is in itself enough to be a crisis in the republic. But it gets worse?
Really?
It has long been a matter of time before all nominees are asked about Roe V Wade and what is their stance is on the matter. It is not just Senator Susan Collins who was burned, but each one of them who testified under oath that Roe was precedent. Roe was stare decisis. What happens when you lie under oath? Perjury? Contempt of Congress. You have five supreme court justices who lied under oath. The very foundation of law is based on truthful testimony. If the supremes’ can lie whenever they want to, why cannot everyone lie?
This judgement is the end of the supreme court, and the end of the system of justice. If it is affirmed on the record, it is the end of the Republic, for what republic can stand without a legal framework to hold it up.
Ottawa police made an annoucement about getting a lot of calls over the occupation. So I replied and got the following conversation!
Ottawa Police@OttawaPolice·Feb 19
We know the events in #Ottawa are upsetting. Still, we’re asking people to stop calling critical emergency and operational phone lines to express displeasure about the police action to remove an unlawful assembly downtown.
Poet Of Truth·Feb 20 Its called a call flood Its an harassment tactic designed to flood you with calls Take names and numbers and if they do it often, issue arrest warrants for their illegal actions.
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
Yea, seize their bank accounts too, lol.
FailedState
CurrencyDevaluation
Poet Of Truth·Feb 20
And sue the Go fund things that raised the cash for all that cash. Make it cost them real money Fine them as well for all convicted crimes. Jail time is martyr time Fined time is the right kind
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
Do you really want this to go before the WTO?
You’re in violation of several treaties. The financial damage to Canada is going to be insurmountable if you escalate this, if it’s not already.
Financial damage? To the occupier, it will be insurmountable for them
Escalate this? To whom? The council of 9 truckers? The GG and the Senate? To whom can they escalate this too? Q? Oh no not Q!
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
Severe breach of fiduciary duty.
You’re injuring 3 separate parties by embezzling funds.
Poet Of Truth
LOL Are you just googling those words?
First it was WTO then it was treaties, now Fiduciary duties? An adult has a Fiduciary duties to handle the affairs of small children
Thus you are correct, the occupiers are all small children needing adult supervision
Good point!
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
Any counter claim you might have is invalidated due to the fact that you suspended DUE PROCESS.
You don’t realize how serious this is, do you?
Poet Of Truth
LOL Your law degrees from YouTube university only works on YouTube You are not a budding Clarence Darrow. Sorry, (not sorry) you are incorrect No need for a counter claim where there is no claim to begin with No violation of due process Not serious at all Worthy only of Mockery
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
Exactly the kind of answer you’d expect from a #failedstate
Poet Of Truth
LOL Yes since you lack facts, lack knowledge, use intimidation and frankly Dunning-Kruger effect is clearly at work in your tweets Don’t worry I am sure your cognitive dissonance will soon find a way to declare yourself the winner. No matter what everyone else can read.
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
We’re already in the process of recovering funds and assessing damages.
Poet Of Truth
LOL Sure you are Just like you toppled the government, made any dent in public opinion or changed anyone’s mind towards your cult Your leaders are in jail Your money is frozen Your occupation is finished But in your mind you are winning Let me know when you are tired of winning
Some Convoy Sov Cit wannabe
Keep talking 😂😂
Poet Of Truth
Yes because someone with an open mind might be reading. So they will know just what garbage you’re trying to push either cause you’re too indoctrinated into a cult to know the difference or too corrupt. I would say the former, you recite the same tired old script to know any better
This is Canada, not the USA! The first stunt they pull, they will get an 800 dollar ticket for “Stunting” and they impound the vehicle. Want to see how long their block aid will last as they tow away the trucks?
Next this group is not made up of 90% of the pop, it is like 3%, a very tiny minority. So when they upset the regular folks, the police will have to act.
The biggest killer of cops? The year 2021 was a year where so many cops died from… COVID-19 So the ones who are left will have little to no sympathy for these rednecks.
Like most extreme protests it will be covered as big news, but they don’t have the backing of the population and the politicians who are there are People part of Canada or Conservative reform alliance party they are playing to the base If anything this protest will backfire on them all and drive people to the liberals for fear of being anywhere near these idiots.
Remember the first rule of Canadians politics, we are a small, silly little country. This protest is how large? Millions? Not A few trucks and a few thousand people. That is it!
But it gets eyes to watch news and see commercials It has the former guy posting he thinks it is genius… that alone is enough to stop and drive back home
Lastly, keep this in mind. We at CPC deal with the feds, but the vast majority of people deal with provincial regulations and mandates The fed have so very few Now, if you are an idiot, or Jason Kenny, PM of Alberta you hold a news conference to support the truckers. Only to be asked if he approved the Fed dropping their mandates, why has he not dropped all of his? Because he is holding his medical system together by duct tape and prayer. It is a testament to the strength of doctors and nurses that we have health care at all. Kenny and Legault and all premiers know just how close they are to the wall This stunt has raised a few dollars, but only a few. 4 million this morning? A little more? Out of 38 million people less than 1 in 10 Canadians parted with a dollar…. WOOOO big war chest NOT!
But news media sell the sizzle not the steak
Okay so I looked I checked I searched What am I not seeing? I saw one picture of a crowd of people in the ground. No pictures of the convoy No picture of all those screaming trucks no mention of numbers.
Why not? There should be MILLIONS of people, thousands of trucks.
So shout it out brother and sisters scream those numbers out
But newscast after newscast and I watched all the big three, CTV, CBC and Global and strange, not one mentioned how many. Not one showed them haul down the highway.
Not one. Why is that?
Because they are so small, the media is afraid they would lose credibility if they mentioned the numbers of trucks and people, hoping instead for a much larger number on Saturday, to make their reporting seem justified.
The emperor has no clothes. Despite the news media lying and laying fancy robes of gossamer thread and ethereal cloth.
Claim “Current accounts say the convoy is over 70 km long, and may comprise around 50,000 trucks. It may break the world record for longest convoy ever assembled, the source of these stats is the event organizer, It’ll be hard to impound and ticket 50,000 semis crowding into Ottawa.”
A semi is 72 feet (21.95 m) long 70 Km is 229658.8 feet (ca. 70 km) or 921 jumbo jets simple math 3,190 semis in that length
Mind you 3200 trucks is a lot, but it is nowhere near 50 000 trucks
Remember what I said about credibility? Mainstream won’t even try? Yes, so you have Rebel media. Who have no credibility to lose or worry about!
Canadian Truck Protest Set to Become the Longest in History The truckers on their way to Ottawa for an anti-mandate protest on Saturday may well be the longest truck convoy in history. Will it matter to the Stalinists in charge of their government? According to Guinness World Records, the longest truck convoy ever recorded was 7.5 km long, in Egypt in 2020. The Toronto Sun […] http://www.independentsentinel.com
“The largest parade of trucks consisted of 480 trucks and is achieved by Tahya Misr Fund (Egypt), in Cairo, Egypt, on 20 November 2020,” Guinness says on its website. “With a length of 7.5 km, Tahya Misr Fund was able to organize a parade of 480 trucks, amid the harsh weather and heavy rain, breaking the Guinness World Records title for the largest parade of trucks, which was achieved 16 years ago in the Netherlands with a parade size of 416 trucks.”
So, by their own logic, 10 times the world’s largest would hold 4800 call it 5000 trucks, yet they claim 50 000 trucks? Err 5000 is a far cry from 50 000? Based on this math the convoy would stretch not 70 KM but 700 km.
There are an estimated 2 million trucks in the USA Canada usually has about 10% of that number or 200 000
So they are claiming that 1 in 4 of all trailers will arrive in Ottawa? 25% when the unvaccinated makeup less than 10% Normal motivation is around 1% of any given population. So this protest is carrying 25 times their weight in real numbers? Really? WOW
I am so impressed! Or… The convoy is total Bull…
One last point to ponder. In the spacing above, I was only putting in parked trucks, not driving trucks. Whereby, a separation would need to be anywhere from 6 to 10 time the length of a truck to avoid tailgating. So, those 5000 truck that might fit in 70 km nose to nose is even smaller driving so 1/5 or maybe 1000 trucks. I can see a thousand crazy people driving to Ottawa, but I won’t mistake that for the harbinger of doom: The door knock of the apocalypse: or even the return of the revenant. It’s January and there is no real news to report. This sounds scary. Fearful people watch TV longer leading into sweeps month in February!
Postscript
Yes i know I am anal… So they said 50 000 trucks I did some math… Never leaving my chair.Just numbers… Just me and my numbers and oh yes, reality on my side… Care to take a guess at those 50 000 trucks how many showed up? Who is closer? their 50 000 to my 1 000 hmmm
Live updates: Trucker convoy protest in OttawaThe ‘freedom convoy’ of truckers and their supporters are protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates on Parliament Hill on Saturday. Follow along for live updates from our reporters on the ground in Ottawa.www.ctvnews.ca
10:45 a.m. EST
CTV News Ottawa’s Natalie van Rooy spoke with Antrim Truck Stop owner Tom Orr this morning on the convoy coming from Arnprior. Orr estimates there are more than 700 vehicles in total that have begun to leave for Parliament Hill.
Even I over estimated their numbers by 300.
1000 to 700 is close.
50 000 to 700 is easily not even in the same planet.
