Oklahoma Supreme Court gives Trump permission to hold political rally
O thank you my Lords! The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Friday that it will allow Trump to hold a political rally in that state today.
[T]he state’s Supreme Court ruled against the request to force everyone attending to wear a mask and stay at least six feet apart from one another — a policy that would have complicated the massive event with thousands of people. The court ruled that the two local residents among those filing the suit couldn’t establish that they have a clear legal right to the relief they sought. In a concurring opinion, two justices wrote that the state’s reopening plan is “permissive, suggestive and discretionary.”
“Therefore, for lack of any mandatory language in the (plan), we are compelled to deny the relief requested,” that opinion said.
The legalities aside, can you imagine any time in our past history where a sitting president and presidential candidate had to get a court’s approval to hold a political rally? I can’t. The idea would have been inconceivable to past American generations. But the precedent is now clearly set. The courts apparently do have the power to allow or block political rallies. All Trump’s opponents need do to shut down future events is to go to court. Sooner or later a court will go along and forbid the event from occurring, and based on Trump’s behavior up to now, he will bow to that court’s will.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I eagerly await the inevitable judicial ruling prohibiting Trump from debating Biden.
The ruling will contain the wording “to prevent elder abuse”.
Mark my words…….
The hypocrisy of the media and other leftists being pro gathering for protests and riots, and against gathering for political rallies, is a bit much even for bunch of pathetic and reprehensible liars.
Yeah F16guy, I’m pretty sure there can’t be any face to face debates. I mean, not with COVID.
We can still have an ‘election’. Everybody gets a ballot, citizen or not, alive or not, still lives in district or not; mail, mail, mail them out.
Watching the Oklahoma Rally right now….
His element.
“alive or not”
Illinois – The Land of Lincoln
Chicago – Where he still votes
Isn’t it nice to still be allowed to assemble peaceably in America? You would think that the First Amendment had said that we need a court’s permission to exercise the rights it guarantees.
Edward, You have to realize that the Constitution is a living document and the meaning of its words changes as it evolves
A confused Democrat friend (I have so many of them) once said authoritatively to me that “The Constitution is a living document”.
I told him that if he could tell me where the Constitution took a crap in the morning that I would agree with him. I then explained what the Constitution in fact was and what it intended. He does not say that to me any more.
He quotes plenty of other dopey canned Democrat pablum to me, but he does not say that to me any more.
PS: He believes that Obama was one of the best presidents in American history, and surprise, he despises Trump.

Ask some of your lefty buds if they think their mortgage is a ‘living and breathing document.’

The only reason it is considered “living” is that it has provisions for amendment. If its meaning changes over time without such amendment, then it is not living but is undead, like a Frankenstein’s monster. If the meaning of the Constitution or of our laws are changeable on the whim of, say, a Supreme Court or a lower court, then we citizens cannot be sure how to live our lives within the law. Having the Constitution is intended to make the law stable so that we live in a land of laws, where the law applies equally to all, not a land of men, where the law is different depending whether the police, prosecutor, or judge wishes to reward a friend or to punish a foe (or get reelected to his office). The Fourteenth Amendment was intended to reinforce this concept, but intentional misinterpretation negated that intention.
Thus, the Supreme Court and other courts have badly violated the Constitution by misinterpreting it to suit their desires of the time. They are merely Dr. Frankensteins, setting a monster loose upon the rest of us. How will it all end? With a chase over the arctic ice? (Yes, I’ve read a book.)
Edward, Sigh….I guess from now on, I have to add “WARNING ! Sarcasm Follows” when I make such a post. I agree with everything you wrote – I was just practicing being “Woke” since the Thought Police now demand it
Col Beausabre,
You noted: *”Sigh” *
It looks like I am not yet “woke,” which requires that we advocate for the (current) politically correct position, not just acknowledge it or agree with it, but to actually advocate for it — preferable through riots, looting, arson, assault, and murder.
