You have got to be joking?

After all he has been through with investigations and court dates, he is still willing to be a part of insurrectionist plans. This is a commitment against the USA Constitution. This breach in national security with people looking for power and wealth isn’t over. Trump is count on that.

In the wake of Trump’s dismantling of the rule of law...

 ...Congress must pass enforcement measures along with any law they pass. The agencies can’t possibly do all the enforcement measures and expect to have them consistent across administrations.

The legislature must legislate like it means it.

I am confident as Vice President Harris settled into her responsibilities she will begin a law that provides clear understanding of law enforcement to judges in a bill that ends mass incarceration and takes White Collar Crime seriously, especially when it comes to impacting the Middle Class and the elderly.

What good is upward mobility if it can be taken away because the financial markets said, “Oops.”

Integrity in government doesn’t exist unless it is legislated.

The US Senate made the wrong decision on fracking.

Typical Republican bill, erring on the side of “business knows best,” simply says “go ahead” be as destructive as you want. That isn’t the approach that needs to be taken with natural gas wells. 

THEY LEAK!

They leak a lot. They leak into the air and they leak into the water. Fracking wells break the laws of the Clean Air Act and The Clean Water Act. The petroleum industry was given a lot of freedom from important laws in the 2005 (the year of Peak Oil) Cheney Energy Bill. 

If the country INSISTS on drilling for natural gas it must be done without ANY leaks and through safe pipelines that need repair and replacement.

Energy companies are lavished with new pipelines for the sake of jobs. There aren’t that many jobs in a pipeline. A couple of thousand on long pipelines. There are more jobs created in repairing and replacing existing pipelines. First the old stuff has to come out and then the new pipe gets laid. It is like a double fit for each pipeline replaced and/or repaired.

Additionally, the pipelines to cities and homes are never replaced and gas explosions happen. I am sure the occasional deaths are figured into the companies costs. 

Fracking and pipelines must be heavily regulated to prevent methane into Earth’s atmospheres. The 2005 Cheney Energy Bill needs to be repealed and replaced when taking the climate crisis seriously. There needs to be a national emergency for climate in the USA to rip the corrupt laws out by the roots.

The Supreme Court is incorrect about assemblies.

Church going is an assembly, not a grocery store. The virus exists at higher levels in assemblies where people remain in one spot for a length of time greater than a few minutes.

Indoor air is different than outdoor air. We know that a person infected with the virus will be a polluter rather than a breeze when indoors. In other words a person in an assembly, like church, is a smokestack of the virus. The accumulation indoors will infect others.

That is why indoor activities require better ventilation than in the past and quite possibly UV treatment of the air in HVAC systems. I am sure permitting processes can be instituted if an establishment’s air is proven to be safe. That might be the best way forward for California, a retired testing of air quality to determine fitness, which can be legislated.

The Supreme Court chose to ignore the science and decided a level playing field based on discrimination was in order. They are dead wrong. And for some parishioner that might the outcome.

For God’s sake California is in a state of emergency because of an irreverent president of the science. It is a stupid decision and citizens should be careful. The Catholic Church and it’s scientists as an organization, is more cautious than the US Supreme Court.

California needs vaccine.
