Letters to the Editor

Thank you to Health Care Partners

The Southern Inyo Fire Protection District is grateful for this opportunity to say thank you to Pahrump’s Health Care Partners of Nevada for their continued and generous support.

Most recently, Health care Partners donated a much needed Glucagon Emergency Kit to fill a gap in the emergency medical inventory carried onboard our ambulance.

But we would also like to express our gratitude for the loan of Dr. Stephen Andracki, whose volunteer service as this district’s Medical Director, and whose personal support and encouragement make it possible for us to stay in service to the people who need us.

Robin Finchum,

Southern Inyo Fire Protection District Board of Directors

 

Supreme Court rewriting the Constitution?

The Supreme Court is attempting a re-write of the Constitution.

SCOTUS has become an anti-American organization.

All gun laws are UNCONSTITUTIONAL, no matter what the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) says.

The SCOTUS has no authority to DEFINE/INTERPRET/ALTER/AMEND/NULLIFY the Constitution of the United States. That is beyond dispute.

Nowhere does the Constitution cede/grant/authorize the power(s) needed to alter the U.S. Constitution in any way to the SCOTUS.

The SCOTUS is, simply put, a court that is designed to decide whether any law enacted by any lawmaker agrees with the Constitution of the United States. If it does, it is constitutional. If it does not, it is unconstitutional.

If it is not aligned with the U.S. Constitution it is not right, and do not rely on SCOTUS to tell you how the Constitution is “interpreted” as SCOTUS does not have the right /authority to interpret the U.S. Constitution.

The SCOTUS does not get to interpret the meaning of the U.S. Constitution however they see fit in order to deem whether the law in question is constitutional. To interpret anything means that it is OPEN TO INTERPRETATION, OPEN TO THE BIAS OF THE INTERPRETER. See how that works, whoever interprets gets to determine what it means.

The Constitution of the United States is CARVED IN STONE. It can be changed. Not easily, and certainly not by a few elitist lawyers. It requires a lengthy process involving a great many citizens of the United States.

Think the SCOTUS is the last word? Well, you are wrong. Remember when the SCOTUS said slavery was constitutional? Remember when the SCOTUS said Japanese internment was constitutional?

Still think these buffoon lawyers are God? These are simply lawyers who have endowed god-like authority unto themselves.

Stay true to what’s right and constitutional and you will either rise or fall defending the U.S. Constitution.

In Wednesday’s Letters to the Editor, two letters were inadvertently combined. Our apologies to both writers. Here they are in their correct form.

A tribute to a great town and travel buddy

Just like towns, our lives are boom and bust, and this holiday season I’m just thankful for the time that we had together.

Letters to the Editor

Dr. Waters does not speak for the majority of military veterans when he disparages Donald Trump.

Letters to the Editor

It seems the narrative is, “if you can afford solar power you must be rich, so you can pay more too.”

EDITORIAL: Convicted Pahrump JP still wants her paycheck

Michele Fiore is upset that the taxpayers are no longer paying her not to work as a Pahrump justice of the peace. She has only herself to blame.

Letters to the Editor

The most dangerous lies are the lies we tell ourselves and all the ways we look to justify them.

Letters to the Editor

I am happy that the election campaigning is over, but most of all the absence of political ads from both parties, blatantly lying about their opponents.
