JUSTICE GINSBURG READY TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER?

Posted on by
Ginsburg knows the Citizens United decision was a mistake. Now she appears to be ready to speak truth to power.
 
What effect can Ruth Bader Ginsburg have on campaign-finance cases?

 
In 18 years on the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has written more than 200 opinions on a number of important topics, including major opinions on everything from copyright law to abortion rights to employment discrimination. But in the area of campaign finance, she’s authored only one inconsequential two-paragraph concurring opinion—in one of the Supreme Court’s recent cases striking down parts of the McCain-Feingold law—in which she distanced herself from a more far-reaching dissent of Justice Stevens. She’s been a reliable vote to uphold reasonable campaign-finance laws, but this has hardly been her signature issue.
 
Last week, however, Justice Ginsburg issued a short statement that hinted she is ready to speak out more boldly. She, like many Americans, appears concerned with the rise of super PACs and the disturbing role money is playing in the 2012 campaign season since the Supreme Court’s controversial decision in Citizens United v. FEC. Justice Ginsburg likely won’t have the votes to overturn Citizens United, but she soon will be in a position to expose the disingenuousness at the ruling’s core.

2/20/12: NEWS YOU CAN USE…

THE PROPHETS of the OT and JESUS TEACHINGS HAVE HARSH WORDS FOR THE RICH WHO GROW RICHER WHILE THE POOR SUFFER. THE GROWING GAP BETWEEN THE 1% & the 99% over the last 30 yrs. has become BIBLICALLY BLASPHEMOUS. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” CAESAR=FAIR TAXES; GOD=TAKING CARE OF ALL PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT, POLLUTION, etc. IS SANTORUM AGAINST THIS?-mackie
  
Mr. Santorum should be careful in his efforts to score political points using biblical mandates on the same week that he shows such callousness towards the lives of the poor.

“AN EYE FOR A EYE LEAVES THE WHOLE WORLD BLIND.”
Mahatma Ghandi
 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.’ But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. “If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. “Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.” “Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Jesus Mtthw 5:38-42
 
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
 
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Jesus Mtthw 7:13-14

5 CRITICAL REASONS FOR LOW COST CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE..

Posted on by
ARE THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO COAT HANGERS? HERE THEY GO WITH THESE MEN TRYING TO CONTROL WOMEN’S BODIES. NOW MOST WOMEN HAVE TO WORK OUT SIDE THE HOME. WHAT IF THEY DON’T WANT OR CAN AFFORD ANOTHER CHILD? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE LOSES WHO JOB BECAUSE SHE BECOMES PREGNANT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT HER FAMILY AND THERE INCOME? Below are a view highlights, etc. There is so much more you need to know.
 
THEY’RE EVEN TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE THE EMPLOYER WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD HELP…….
 
 
2) Contraception has numerous health benefits. A Harvard Medical School study found that oral contraceptives reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 10 to 12 percent during the first year of use and by about 50 percent after five years of use. It also prevents significant health risks to women and infants by allowing women and couples to achieve healthy birth intervals and prevent unintended pregnancy. Having too short a gap between pregnancies has been linked to negative health outcomes, like low birth weight, preterm birth, and small size for gestational age. Unintended pregnancy is also linked to several negative outcomes for women and children’s health, including delayed attainment of prenatal care, economic hardships, and relationship problems. Publicly funded contraceptive services have decreased unintended pregnancy among health center clients by as much as 78 percent, studies show.
 
AND
 
5) It’s about more than birth control. As important as contraception is, the preventive care regulation is about more than access to birth control. It covers a wide range of services specific to women’s health, including cancer screening with Pap smears, HPV DNA testing, mammograms, and colonoscopies; domestic violence screening and counseling; and breastfeeding supports, among others. It also insures services like immunizations, dietary counseling, and cholesterol and blood pressure screening, to name only a few, to 54 million men, women, and children.
