So here's the Heir's take on that ''assault'' on Giuliani in a Bland Barns style supermarket, now that the Heir himself has gigged for Bland Barns for a number of years. He saw the video, and it just seemed to him that the guy just tapped Giuliani on the back. He thought it was rude and uncalled for, but certainly not criminal by any means. Of course Giuliani has the right to sue the guy in court, but the Heir thinks Giuliani exaggerated by claiming whiplash and extensive injury of sorts. He thinks Giuliani was being a crybaby, and he begs to differ with visual that claims that the incident was related to abortion. Instead, the Heir believes that it was related to Giuliani's general criminality going back to assisting the bribing of Ukraine. The guy was probably unhappy that Giuliani is still a free man when even in the age of legal pot the Heir believes there are still people serving decades for having been caught with pot when they were 15. Again it's about the children, and for Giuliani to serve as a terrible role model the Heir sees as -the- cardinal sin. The Heir laughs at the possibility that when all of today's criminals go to Hell when they die they will try to claim double jeopardy, since they were already tried in life and got a get out of free jail card. The Big Guy Upstairs the Heir's sure will laugh in their face, albeit compassionately.

The Heir now believes it's time to abolish the Supreme Court, and it's not just because they "occasionally" put out a ruling he "personally" disagrees with. He has no idea what would take its place, but he's sure that you don't have to resort to an amendment process to make it happen. It's just that with the thing with abortion and guns that he doesn't see the Supreme Court as any more than an unelected third branch of Congress. As far as he's concerned, jurisprudence is dead, and it may have been dead for some number of months and years. In that time, the Heir's not heard of any simple but substantive argument to the contrary, that jurisprudence is ever used in a meaningful way. In fact, the Heir's 85% sure that this set of measures to prevent gun violence that was just signed into law will only get overturned in the Supreme Court a year from now. We've gotten to the point where anybody is opposed to any law for any reason can always go to the Supreme Court to get that law overturned. So the Supreme Court he doesn't see as much different than the House Of Lords in the UK, or the Council Of Elders in Iran. If we're so concerned about Democracy supposedly being on "life support," those same voices claiming such have fallen silent where the Supreme Court is concerned. The Heir doesn't think that codifying those things the Court strikes down or adding Justices is the answer. He sees that as just nibbling around the edges and not getting to the real heart of the problem. So this past Friday afternoon was the beginning of the end of the Supreme Court with respect to an emerging coalition of citizens and scholars now favoring an outright abolition or at least a severe overhaul just to restore a sense of checks and balances, and it's only a matter of time before elected and appointed officials start climbing onboard as well.

The Heir has added Johnny Depp to his "enemies list." The list doesn't contain Woodward or Bernstein, but it does contain Cosby and Manafort. Until the trial came to an end, the Heir didn't pay close attention to it, so he hasn't formed a personal opinion of Amber Heard herself. But he does believe her when she said Depp abused her. He tuned into the Insurgent News Network regarding the Depp trial, and while he was satisfied with actual analytical attention given to the trial, he was -not- happy by the lack of moral outrage or a call to action. So now he's going to add Edward Scissorhands along with Fat Albert to the proverbial Pretador Bonfire. He doesn't believe people should buy or rent these items if they're outraged by the lack of morality in today's society stemming from well-connected celebrities getting a get-out-of-free-jail-card, or concerned about the wrong messages being sent to our young people as a result.
