Real Newsblast Episode 7 Impeachment, Eligibility and Redistricting as Speech

So In the first episode of Real Newsblast I decided to cover the PA gerrymander map that gave Republicans a 13-5 advantage in Congress. 

LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlVYNceis-8

It was challenged and later redrawn by their State’s Supreme Court, later the PA GOP challenged it to the US Supreme Court and it was denied a hearing. The next move seemed to just fret and accept it right? No, the next move was to bring articles of impeachment against 4 Democratic Judges that ruled to toss out the old map. After articles of impeachment were brought, the Majority Leader State Rep Dave Reed doused those concerns and while he opposes the map he believes that disagreement with a particular ruling should not be grounds for impeachment

Eligibility: Abdul El Sayed Michigan

I recently told everyone about Abdul El Sayed in a previous episode of Real Newsblast and I have a small update: He has went to Court to settle the eligibility question saying he had a dedicated room at his parent’s house while he lived in NYC and worked there while his wife finished her studies. I am hoping this gets resolved soon so he can continue campaigning and win the Primary. Theirs is August 7th

Redistricting as Speech

Wisconsin’s map has been terribly gerrymandered just as bad as Pennsylvania’s and North Carolina’s, and now The Supreme Court has taken up a 2nd case out of Maryland which has been redistricted to a 7-1 Democratic advantage this time the suit has been brought by Republicans who feel their speech is being abridged by gerrymandering. Also, in District 6 which is the subject of the lawsuit a Republican has filed to run but no Democrats. This may be a winning by losing strategy, but I feel the Court will see through this. I hope that more states can come up with an Independent body that deals with redistricting so that people can feel better about the outcomes of elections. No one will be completely satisfied but at least an Independent panel can restore some faith in elections

Parker v. Hurley Prental Rights Violation or Elaborate Setup? I'll Explain

Image
Hello everyone, I was researching on Parker v Hurley in which a man was arrested because he didn’t leave his child’s school because he  said that he didn’t want to leave unless he was under arrest. When it came to the media and other Christian Right groups like Mass Resistance, he simply said he was arrested because he didn’t want his children learning that gay marriage is okay.  Now, of course there is a lot that wasn’t told in this whole thing: It was planned because there is a picture of him being lead away in handcuffs as well as footage of him speaking at a Board Meeting about the fact that books like Heather has Two Mommies and King and King were used as materials to teach kids about all kinds of families as well as the fact that two men and women are able to be married in MA. Now, the thing is I don’t see how any one learning about gay marriage in school is really detrimental since they don’t learn much about marriage unless it is being discussed as a matter of fact.

Conservative Family Values: All Fantasy, No Facts A Few Reasons

Image
Social conservatism has been nothing more than "Keep it the same because change is scary" Black men voting, women voting, Civil Rights for Black People, Mexicans being covered under the 14th Amendment, School integration, Same sex couples being married, no fault divorce, restaurants!  So let me get to the reasons Conservative Family Values are All Fantasy, No Facts  1. I t is a myth based on TV I enjoy retro TV, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Andy Griffith, The Waltons, SOAP, but do we realize a few things...the casts are all white. There are no problems other than something many people relate to like going to a dance alone or in the case of the Waltons, they're dirt poor in the middle of the Depression. But the formula is: Married parents, kids and they always find a way to pull through with good ole American elbow grease.  The myth of the American meritocracy persists even today with people thinking that if they can think their way out of poverty with hard work. Hard

The Comments NOM Blog Is Likely To Take Down--or Not Approve

I looked at some of the comments posted at: http://www.nomblog.com/7366/ and I am sure that NOM Blog may not let such a well reasoned counterargument prevail on its board. I will check and see maybe tomorrow Let me address some things people are saying here: Homosexuality being a dead end lifestyle--BS! The stigma created by society on homosexuality is one of the most dangerous things that has been. When those wonderful children committed suicide, every bigot said it's because they 'embraced a deadly lifestyle' Horseshit! It's because of the simple fact that people made it harder for them to live their lives in an open fashion as they deserve Next, EQUAL UNDER THE LAW MEANS EXACTLY THAT! Those words are not hollow words without meaning and validity in court--that's why the AR Supreme Court struck down Act 1 Also, Anderson v. King County used circular reasoning in reaching the verdict. Reproduction--the fact is, older couples could be denied if m
