girlfreddy OP , 16 days ago to news in The UAW’s federal monitor twice pressured the union to back off its call for Gaza ceasefire, then launched an investigation

Not really. We just want Israel to stop genociding Palestinians who, btw, have lived on that piece of land for 2000 years (since the Romans kicked out Jewish people at the beginning of the Diaspora).

Because unions fight for the people and that includes people of the world.

Who is your neighbor btw?

That’s what happens when you mix up the Democractic Party and democracy, believing they’re the same thing.

Hint: they are not.

girlfreddy , 17 days ago to news in Oldest federal judge who refused to take mental exam loses lawsuit over suspension, but she’s still not admitting defeat

I dunno. I’m not 97. But I am in my mid 60’s and what I do know is my wisdom has grown immensely since I was 40. So who’s to say that can’t happen for someone in their 90’s?

I will add that I am not specifically supporting this judge’s argument (that she’s fine) because she is clearly putting out ruling that are not based on the law. But neither is SCOTUS, and for very different reasons.

I would still prefer a tribunal-type scenario that has the authority to investigate and remove judges based on facts, not just age.

Yup. How do you learn to make informed choices when you’ve never been given the opportunity to learn what that entails? Same with conflict, relationships, etc.

The plasticity of the brain (maybe?) allows for the brain to grow and change, but I haven’t spent the time to look up more recent developments and see what info is out there.

Things work different up here, ie: judges are never elected - always appointed; our judiciary rules based on our Constitution, Charter of Rights and Freedoms and common law (not original intent or civil law [except Quebec]); and treaty rights for First Nations peoples (and sometimes Metis and Inuit).
