Superposition: In any network with 2 or more sources, the current or voltage for any component is the algebraic sum of the effects produced by each source acting separately. The superposition of forces in a mechanical/electrical network results in compromise and allows the building of better bridges and interfaces. Using one ideology is like using half of a pair of pliers to grasp something. My avatar represents the % of approval, by party, that our congress enjoys. John Adams wrote in a letter in 1780: "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." "I was no party man myself, and the first wish of my heart was, if parties did exist, to reconcile them." GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Thomas Jefferson, July 6, 1796.

    “… The deal is the second major win for Paxton in roughly the last six months, after the Republican-controlled Texas Senate acquitted him last fall of 16 impeachment charges centered on allegations that he accepted bribes and abused the authority of his office to help a wealthy friend and campaign donor.

    Still, Paxton’s legal troubles aren’t over. His agency continues to face a lawsuit brought by four former top deputies who argue that Paxton improperly fired them in 2020 for reporting him to the FBI. Those whistleblowers told law enforcement they believed Paxton was using his office to benefit Austin real estate mogul Nate Paul — the charges that formed the basis for Paxton’s impeachment last year and that are the subject of an ongoing federal investigation. He has denied all wrongdoing.

    The securities fraud case, meanwhile, has been repeatedly delayed by disputes over where the trial should take place and how much the special prosecutors handling the case should be paid. The legal saga dates back to July 2015, when Paxton was indicted on three felony securities fraud charges just months into his first term as the state’s top lawyer. …"— texastribune org 2024 03 25 ken-paxton-plea-deal-securities-fraud-felony

    It would be foolish to hire someone to fill an authoritative position when their beliefs are not based on reality.

    Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as that. There are corrupt/self-serving Democrats also — as we’ve seen. We need to vet the candidates more rigorously … not trusting the party to do the job for us. Nor should be expect to find all the best solutions to problems when only two opposing solutions are offered. If we want to have a democratic republic we have to research to ensure that we have actual representatives in government, not self-serving deadwood.

    How can there be a coherent proactive/productive Congress with an irrational, incoherent, emotional, attention-seeking, faction pretending to be members of a political party?

    And what about the much larger concern that his interpretation is not liberal enough … certainly not as liberal as Jesus’ interpretation is?

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

    Is it today’s liberals that want to eradicate melting-pot America, build impenetrable walls around an exclusive, authoritarian, male-dominated, white, evangelical, theocratic USA, eliminate advanced education, eliminate social security, prohibit women/minorities voting, and replace its Constitution with an austere interpretation of the Old Testament?

    “…

    At the center of the legal battle is the pill mifepristone, which is taken along with another drug to terminate an early pregnancy. Approved by the FDA in 2000, more than 5 million patients have taken mifepristone, according to the agency, and studies cited in court filings have shown it is safe and effective.

    In 2016 and 2021, the FDA took steps to make mifepristone more accessible, including allowing it to be taken later into a pregnancy and delivered through the mail without an in-person doctor’s visit. A group of anti-abortion rights doctors and medical associations challenged those changes, claiming the FDA violated the law.

    The Supreme Court is now reviewing a decision from a federal appeals court that found the agency’s actions were unlawful. A ruling in the case, known as FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, that unwinds those changes would threaten to curtail access to mifepristone nationwide, even in states with laws protecting abortion access.

    Rolling back the FDA’s actions would “inflict grave harm on women across the nation,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the court. She reiterated that the ruling from the lower court marks the first time any court has restricted access to a FDA-approved drug by second-guessing its judgment about the conditions required to ensure its safety.

    The justices focused most of their questions on whether the doctors who filed the lawsuit against the FDA had shown that they may be injured by its actions, and whether those alleged injuries could be traced to the FDA’s easing of the rules. …" news supreme-court-abortion-pill-arguments-mifepristone

    “… Janet Difore. Anthony Cannataro. Michael Garcia. Madeline Singas.

    Most New Yorkers have never heard these names. But these four judges form a controlling majority of New York state’s highest court. They always rule in lockstep. They often barely explain their decisions. And as the U.S. Supreme Court upends federal constitutional law, these judges too are issuing a slew of decisions pushing New York law to the right.

    The Court of Appeals ruled on 98 cases in its most recent term, which ended last month. DiFiore, Cannataro, Garcia and Singas voted in tandem in 96 of those cases. On the seven-member court, a bloc of four that sticks together can dictate the outcome of every case.

    In the past year, these four judges have used their power to prevent criminal defendants from presenting expert testimony supporting their innocence, bar workers from suing employers for workplace injuries, and make it harder for victims of police misconduct to sue for damages, among other rulings. All of them were nominated by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and confirmed by the state Senate. …" — nysfocus com 2022 07 07 court-of-appeals-conservative-bloc
