Whew! Just in the nick of time... the “Terminator” is no longer the Governor of California!

CBC Newsworld just reported that, “The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday endorsed a court order requiring California to cut its prison population by tens of thousands of inmates to improve health care for those who remain behind bars.”

Here is the link to the article:  http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/05/23/supreme-court-california-jails.html.

Wow...what a narrow (5-4) pro-human rights decision!  What is President Obama going to do now? Shoot them all?!  The California prison inmates are probably very happy that the “Terminator”, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is no longer the Governor of California.  Oh wait, I better not speak too soon.  We might hear the words, “I’ll be back”! 

Well, the U.S. federal and state governments are probably scratching their heads right now and wondering “whatever are we going to do?"  Hmm....let me tell you.  Rather than shooting them all or building more prisons, address the root causes for the reason that the prison population is so high.....and the prize goes to....yes, the woman who has said on numerous occasions, “Poverty is the root cause for high prison populations”, Miss Angela Davis!

Now why am I am not surprised that Justice Scalia dissented and said, “the court order is "perhaps the most radical injunction issued by a court in our nation's history."??  Is that man ever going to retire?  He's been on the bench forever.  Gee...give someone else a turn.

We need more decisions like this one, especially in Canada!  Decisions like this one are often the only means to make the governments act in a fashion that address human rights violations. 

Hey Stevie, I heard that you will be appointing two justices to the Supreme Court of Canada at the end of the summer.  Take a look at the characteristics and qualities of the five Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court who made up the majority in this decision and appoint two similar judges to the Supreme Court of Canada. 

Better yet, appoint an "Aboriginal" judge to the Supreme Court since you are so pro-“Aboriginal” these days and appear to like the word “Aboriginal”.

Aboriginal...Aboriginal...Aboriginal...

WHO IS WATCHING OUT FOR YOU AND OUR CHILDREN?
