We can learn from history. On 7/2/1964, LBJ signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act into law. Senate filibuster was overcome w/teamwork of Sen Hubert Humphrey (D-MN), Pres Johnson, and Sen Everett Dirksen (R-IL). [FN1] On 11/3/64, LBJ won election in a landslide. [FN2] 1/19

LBJ lost five States of the Deep South that had been part of the “Solid South” that had voted for the Democratic Party since Reconstruction. [FN3] By 1968, because LBJ had expanded the U.S. military in Vietnam, his…

Jesse Helms, a senator from North Carolina, was proud to be called “Senator No.” He blocked legislation. That is the essence of this iteration of the GOP: nihilism. While some Dems insist President Biden needs to step aside, consider: 1/7

1) Pres Biden has done a great job [FN1] but maga world can’t acknowledge most of the work was necessary to clean up the mess trump left. They’ve been conditioned to believe good only can be done by trump. 2/7

Yesterday’s SCOTUS decision created law from thin air and is in conflict w/The Constitution. Justices are “bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.” [FN1] Statute requires each swears/affirms to perform all duties under The Constitution. [FN2] Roberts, C.J. 1/14

ignored the text of The Constitution. [FN3] Art. II, §4 states a president can be removed from office for crimes. [FN4] Art. I, §3, clause 7 states that impeachment results in the president’s removal from…

Professor Galanti announced, at the start of the first lecture that semester, “Welcome to Antitrust Law. Ronald Reagan is president. We shall study the law as it once was.” This country’s history [FN1] showed excesses of capitalism had to be controlled by antitrust laws. [FN2] 1/8

An entire body of law & protections it provided got jettisoned today. The Roberts Court [FN3] gutted a premise of our system, that no one is above the law. In 1787, the seriousness of the delegates in…
