As we are ever-increasingly bombarded with assertions overt and implied that we as free citizens may not be sufficiently intelligent or able to determine our own destinies, and those of our fellows, perhaps we should return to the well and examine the thinking of one who went before. Controversial even in his day, Essayist Lysander Spooner examined eloquently and in detail why free persons, to remain free, must demand, retain and exercise their full powers as jurors. In this essay he examines in detail the interplay of relative powers of judges and common law jurors. An Essay on the Trial by Jury, Lysander Spooner
Military-Industrial
Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961
In this farewell speech President Eisenhower issued warning
concerning the peril to our freedoms which arises from our need for an
expanding military and industrial might:
“This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms
industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic,
political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every
office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this
development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our
toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our
society.” Read
the entire speech.

“Contact with Indians and their ways of ordering life left a
definite imprint on Franklin and others who were seeking, during the
pre-Revolutionary period, alternatives to a European order against which
revolution would be made. To Jefferson, as well as Franklin, the Indians had
what the colonists wanted: societies free of oppression and class stratification

Founders, Bruce

SOMETHING TO PONDER...
Judges Elected? Thirty-one states elect their judges.
The rest “appoint” them. In a
recent U.S. Supreme Court case (Republican
Party of Minnesota v. White), the
Court ruled that Minnesota (an election
state) could not limit certain speech by
a judicial candidate. Some Justices imply
that the manner of selection is a matter of state choice and that
Minnesota could change this by amending its Constitution.
How would that correlate with Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment (not
under consideration there)? Doesn’t it
require that for a state to have continued representation in the Congress “the
right to vote at any election for the choice of electors” (emphasis
added) of its “judicial officers” shall not be denied?
And then there is the Voting Rights Act to also consider.
THE FOUNDERS’ CONSTITUTION. Hailed as "the Oxford English Dictionary of American constitutional history," the print edition of The Founders' Constitution has proved since its publication in 1986 to be an invaluable aid to all those seeking a deeper understanding of one of our nation's most important legal documents.
FAMOUS TRIALS (UMKC School of Law - Prof. Douglas Linder) contains accounts, maps, photos, transcript excerpts and other materials relating to over 44 famous trials, from Socrates, Jesus, Scopes, Aaron Burr, Leonard Peltier -- to OJ. It’s worth a visit!

THE COOK’S THESAURUS. Whoever heard of a Bintje (ben jee) potato? Is that the best potato for making French Fries? Can you get Bintje potatoes locally? Yes, you can, you just need to know what they are commonly called. What are definitions of meat cuts? What do morel mushrooms look like? Did you know that aluminum, copper, and iron cookware can react with acids in foods and alter their flavor and color? Is Imitation Vanilla Extract as good as the real thing? The Cook’s Thesaurus is much like a cooking encyclopedia. Definitions of food or utensils are accompanied by pictures and explanations. Wouldn’t it be handy to see a picture for each item? |
