Who to vote for?

Thoughts on 169 days of quarantine.

 Today I was talking to my husband that maybe we could bring our maid to iron the sheets for the family that we are preparing the apartment for but he told me that she can’t leave her home to come to where we are but perhaps we could deliver the sheets to her. The quarantine here is too extreme. I hate irrational extremes! 

 

I don’t usually comment on politics but today as I thought about who to vote for President this year, I ask myself: “who would Justice Gorsuch vote for?” I am an independent. I hate the extremes.

 

Extreme is also the way some Cities and States have handled this pandemic regarding attending meetings in Church and here is an example from the State of Nevada. This is an actual document from the Supreme Court of The United States, dated July 24, 2020

 

Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley vs. Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada. 

 

Justice Gorsuch, dissenting from denial of application for injunctive relief. 

 

“This is a simple case. Under the Governor’s edict, a 10- screen “multiplex” may host 500 movie goers at a time. A casino, too, may cater to hundreds at once, with perhaps six people huddled at each craps table her and a similar number gathered around every roulette wheel there. Large numbers and close quarters are fine in such places. But churches, synagogues, and mosques are banned from admitting more than 50 worshipers—no matter how large the building, how distant the individuals, how many wear face masks, no matter the precautions at all. In Nevada, it seems, it is better to be in entertainment than religion. Maybe that is nothing new. But the First Amendment prohibits such obvious discrimination against the exercise of religion. The world we inhabit today, with a pandemic upon us, poses unusual challenges. But there is no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Caesars Palace over Calvary Chapel.”

 

I have great respect for Justice Gorsuch. He also said the following to law students: “My advice to law students is very simple. Work hard, learn to write and speak effectively, never give up your passions, treasure your family and friendships, find time to do public service, and learn to win- and lose graciously. More than all that, know that you will have many regrets in life – things said or done, or left unsaid or undone- but the one thing you will never regret is being kind.” 

 

In this election, I am not voting for anyone who I like. I am voting for one nation under God. I am voting for law and order. I am voting for every unborn life. I am voting for the American dream. I am voting for the right of speech without being censored. My vote is for liberty.
Bottom line, I am voting for someone who is going to uphold the constitution.

 

Someone of the caliber of Justice Gorsuch would have my vote any day but sadly, a man of his character, is not on the ballot. 

 

Con amor,
