Alexander Hamilton, who actively participated in the creation of the U.S. Constitution, had the following thoughts regarding how States, and other government subdivisions, might treat controlling powers and, in particular, why civil juries could and should provide a check on judicial abuse of power....

Below is what I suggest is the correct law decision hierarchy where the higher levels always trump the lower levels. Too many judges these days seem to make every effort to demonstrate their POWER by applying the lowest level rules possible to award a winner. The hierarchy of the law overriding from...

Before suggesting a civil case in which you believe that fundamental law (right or statute) is clearly overridden by the judiciary please be sure that you can provide the correct law cite. Also it is best if it was a bench trial (judge only), a trial where a jury was requested but decided without on...

U.S. Const. Art. III, § 2 (Appendix F 1 ): 1. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution … 2. In all Cases … in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. U.S. Const. Art. VI (Appendix G): 2. This Constituti...

Vote for the rights you think should be included in Amendment IX.

Click "Post Reply" and enter a right suggestion that you think is or should be included. James E. White may reword them if needed and (eventually) add them to the poll to allow you to vote for all you are interested in.

Thanks for reading through my thoughts and facts. Hopefully you were able to follow the logic but if you have questions don't hesitate to ask me at jim at this website domain name or even better "Post Reply" directly to the relevant topic and add your discussion too. I also need help creat...

Yes, it is all very complex. No, I cannot tell you what is the best answer for you or for all. You must engage your brain, gather the facts (the actual facts sorting the wheat from the well-presented, deliberate chaff), reason from them to what appears workable to you, actively engage in discussion ...

Everybody wants to be safe. But too many people want "the government" somehow to provide that safety. It can't. You can't. Nobody can. There is always danger from natural disasters big and small, bad actors from drunk drivers to scammers, killers, and other lesser or more amoral people, an...

Can you tell an Artificial Intelligence image or article or whatever from one produced by actual humans? I propose that Congress create laws that it be mandatory that all AI produced stuff be clearly labeled as such and that the provider cannot enforce any kind of disclaimer at all. Further I propos...

When is the last time you sat down one on one to negotiate a contract? How many take-it-or-leave it contracts do you have to agree to or take-a-hike these days? How many "contracts" do you have to commit to where the "contract" can be changed to whatever the party shoving you the...

You, you, you, and you are much more responsible for the US economy than any President can be. Get over it. It's 330 million vs. 1, you win. If you are not spending money (within reason) other people are not profiting from your tight fists. If you're worth more at work and aren't agitating for a pay...

So many people want to get into the USA precisely because it is the greatest and most equitable country in the world at the moment. Yes, we (meaning Congress) need to implement a better immigration system and perhaps find some way (other than going in with guns blazing) of getting other countries on...

It should be obvious that the United Nations is, in general, when it comes to big countries grabbing territory (and people and resources) through military might, an abject failure. Either the UN needs reworked such that an aggressor nation cannot veto UN actions against itself or a whole new organiz...

Remember the French? If it was not for them there very likely would be no United States of America. Remember over 50 years of at least European peace? Notice that a single individual, Vladimir Putin has thrown that peace out the window for what he apparently sees as his own self-aggrandizement. Wher...

As an example of Supreme Court illogic (and completely ignoring reading the law in English) also see the case of Donald J. Trump v. Norma Anderson , et al., 601 U. S. ____ (2024) (i.e., v. the State of Colorado) https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-719_19m2.pdf . The Colorado public office...

Today's courts (at least Michigan courts and the U.S. Supreme Court) no longer adhere to the law, as I found out when I needed honest, high integrity judicial support to stop Michigan State University's theft of some of my earned vacation time (or its equivalent in dollars) or to collect an Unemploy...

Studying the issues and the candidates and their perceptions of the issues and possible solutions and compromises is the only way you can maximize the power of your vote. It is no longer the case, if it ever really was, that just picking a political party and voting a straight party ticket will work...

Political gerrymandering to create voting districts that favor one political party over another or that effectively diminishes a one-person-one-vote power for some groups needs to be curtailed to the largest extent possible. Michigan is perhaps at the forefront of this process with their Michigan Co...

Popular vote or some other mechanism needs to be devised that better balances the wishes of the people in the election of the President and Vice-President of the United States. A good part of the solution, when honored by the people in the branches of the government, is already found in the Constitu...

Somewhat analogous to the veto power of specific single UN members is the issue of 2 state Senators for even the low population states. Some other mechanism is needed that guarantees that more populous states cannot gang up on the low population states and yet the low population states cannot gang u...
