Harold E. Creacy, Esq., LL.M. ✊🏾☯️

Professor John Mearsheimer : "if there were Nuremberg trials right where the Israelis and the Americans were brought before the court, President Trump along with President Netanyahu and many of their advisors would be hanged"

Massive truth bomb. Former Greek Finance Minister confirms Iran is the ONLY country in the region that has not invaded its neighbors. He brilliantly exposes how Israel's brutal 1982 invasion of Lebanon literally created Hezbollah. The Western media narrative is dead.

I’m sure you remember the controversy that erupted when Minister Farrakhan called Hitler “great,” which he said he meant as “significant.” The vast majority of political commentators, publications (including yours, if I’m not mistaken), and mainstream media didn’t accept his explanation because Hitler’s actions were extremely wicked and atrocious. I am using their standard (the anti-Farrakhan standard). However, that doesn’t mean Taney wasn’t an upstanding and brilliant lawyer and jurist; he was also a repressive, degenerate racist whose racism helped make the Civil War inevitable.

Agreed. But can’t both be true? Frankfurter admired him, Marshall and Story respected him ( the latter two long before Dred Scott, obviously).

“The kids don’t know shit, Bill? Or is that you? Time for a debunking.” @mehdirhasan corrects Bill Maher’s lies about Israel’s long history of aggressive wars, with evidence of their imperialist intentions over decades.

Taney's majority opinion in Dred Scott vs. Sandford is so wicked and immoral that it outweighs any contribution to the furtherance of the principles and values that your man, Gouverneur Morris, set forth in the Preamble to the United States Constitution, and forever excludes him from being on this list. On the contrary, Taney would be at the top of a list of infamous US Supreme Court justices.

This is a reasonable criterion, which would embrace Roger Taney for Charles River Bridge and other economic opinions.

@sloyoroll01973 And the trend is up and away.

$4 gas has arrived in many places. Working from home sounds like a great idea.

Trump at war: 1. Start war. Do not tell allies. 2. Blow stuff up. 3. Demand regime change. 4. Blow up more stuff. 5. Demand unconditional surrender. 6. Get angry when enemy fights back. 7. Make threats. 8. Back down. Repeat. 9. Demand allies finish war. 10. Walk away.

@AmbJohnBolton “The Iranian regime is fracturing at the top,..” Sure John. You said the exact same thing about the Russians 5 years ago.

@atrupar Those folks are fools! If the U.S. and its genecidol partner Israel end their war against Iran and Lebanon—which they started—, then Iran has no reason to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. What a foolish mind-boggling global shit show!

Hegseth indicates reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a core US objective: "We've been willing to lead, President Trump has led the entire time, but it's not just us. You might want to start learning how to fight for yourself."

@thewriterme Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!

Who would you vote for??

@SMartinH1957 @Dastardlyb247 @JackJolis @RickyBobWeaver @RBrookhiser @amspectator Yes, I like all of them, including (off the top of my head) ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,’ ‘The Way We Were,’ ‘The Great Gatsby,’ ‘The Natural,’ and ‘Three Days of the Condor.’

@CreacyHarold @Dastardlyb247 @JackJolis @RickyBobWeaver @RBrookhiser @amspectator He has quite the filmography. My favorite is probably The Candidate although it’s now very dated, almost a time machine. The Sting and Jeremiah Johnson are both up there as well.

George WS Trow My Pilgrim’s Progress has a good vignette of Marshall telling Ike he had the job.

@SMartinH1957 @Dastardlyb247 @JackJolis @RickyBobWeaver @RBrookhiser @amspectator I recently watched in remembrance of Redford because he's one of my favorite actors.

@CreacyHarold @Dastardlyb247 @JackJolis @RickyBobWeaver @RBrookhiser @amspectator Thanks, it’s been years since I’ve watched that.

@BuckatLarge1 @robertewright @amjuster @RBrookhiser I disagree with many of Frankfurter's, Holmes's, and Scalia's opinions, but they are great/significant jurists.

@CreacyHarold @robertewright @amjuster @RBrookhiser Black, overall, was pretty good - didn't agree with many of his findings, but the man carried a pocket Constitution with him all the time (so he said).

Who were they?

@SMartinH1957 @Dastardlyb247 @JackJolis @RickyBobWeaver @RBrookhiser @amspectator That scenario is depicted in the Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman movie ‘All the President’s Men.’

@Dastardlyb247 @JackJolis @RickyBobWeaver @CreacyHarold @RBrookhiser @amspectator Somebody will correct me if I’m wrong about this but I recall reading years ago that Bernstein was considered pretty much a screw-off at the Post pre-Watergate and was on his way to being fired until he got assigned along with Woodward to look into that weird little break-in.

Granny at No King's Protest says it's not safe for Black people to protest

@BuckatLarge1 @RBrookhiser And you free to express your opinion.

No, not quite. He was overall a poor jurist and Griswold was/is just an example. As for the penumbra argument, the "rationale" was plucked out of thin air to support a position that had no basis in law or policy, which is not what a Justice should be doing. Indeed, that goes beyond activism. Black was a far better Justice, IMO, as was Frankfurter and later Brennan One source says this about Douglas: "Aside from his longevity, Douglas is best known for his execrable opinion in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which coined the unforgettable phrase to describe made-up constitutional rights: “penumbras, formed by emanations.” Despite his record tenure on the court, Douglas’s jurisprudential legacy is scant, greatly overshadowed by that of Earl Warren and William Brennan. Even liberal historians view Douglas as a “huge disappointment,” due to his sloppiness (many of his opinions were hastily written, some in as little as twenty minutes), superficiality, lack of discipline, and prickly temperament."

@robertewright @amjuster @RBrookhiser I strongly disagree with your conclusion.

@CreacyHarold @amjuster @RBrookhiser Prolly that Hugo Black wasn't qualified when added and never grew into the position.

It seems that your negative opinion of Justice Douglas is based solely on his implied specific “right to privacy,” rooted in the penumbras of the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments, which he articulated in his majority opinion in the landmark case of Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965). Writing for the Court in Griswold, Douglas identified a constitutional marital right to privacy that prevents state bans on contraception because "specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbra formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance." Despite the feebleness of his penumbra legal analysis, Douglas’s opinion demonstrates his commitment to expanding individual rights and protecting fundamental Constitutional rights. However, in his concurrence in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), Douglas moves away from his penumbra framework. Instead, he adopts Goldberg’s Ninth Amendment analysis, showing that he was capable of developing and advancing a more robust legal argument. Yet, curiously, you ignore.

@CreacyHarold @RBrookhiser Mr. Penumbra. Nothing like making things up. That's not jurisprudence I can see Jackson, but sort of a weak third

He’s a medium.
