140 days until the election (#4154)

     Today marks another block of ten days down and also we start the weekly countdown as there are now 20 weeks to go. I kinda like the block of ten because it seems shorter but soon enough the weekly countdown will surpass the 10 block countdown and as an evolved human being I will change my mind. lol. Regardless, another block of ten down and only 14 more blocks of ten to go. Yesterday I posted about the gay rights constitutional protection challenge that was defeated and that was great news for all Americans. Why you may ask? Simply because when we stop rights for some of us all of us are next in danger of losing rights, per a slippery slope analysis.
     Some other news as well from the courts yesterday that came in after I posted. The challenge to California's sanctuary city law was denied when the high court refused to adjudicate the challenge. Another win for residents of California, and for that matter throughout the United States, who are having trouble with their legality. As well the high court refused to hear numerous 2nd Amendment challenges to state laws that restricted gun ownership, among other restrictions. So quite a banner day yesterday coming from a conservative majority court who could have ignored the legal principle of stare decisis and how it effects precedent. Just enough republicans sided with all democrats to make yesterday a bit wonderful.
     We are also seeing something strange with how trump is behaving with his health. Nothing new here this morning but it is obvious that he is failing in something relating to a health issue. We are more than halfway through June now and the anticipation is really mounting for a tremendous blue wave election. It doesn't seem to matter what trump does he cannot get out ahead of any of our current crisis' and in fact seems to be falling further behind. His cult gathering scheduled for this coming weekend has all the earmarks of not only being contentious and angry but also deadly with infections from Covid-19. All told trump is quickly digging a big hole from which he has little to no hope of climbing out of.
