FIRST THING TAUGHT IN COLLEGE

At leastd when I went to college, was NOT to draw conclusions by not recognizing all the steps ... Not to make unrational generalizations ... apparently its a lesson missed by the Classes since then, or some of the Ivy League schools (I went to a Big 10 school, not an Ivy League).

My lab TA explained it this way ...

Heart attacks occur in the winter. 

Its a flawed generalizations ... we of course know heartth attacks happen anytime of the year ... but if you don't follow all the steps, you can easily draw the wrong conclusion.

During the winter, it can be that HEAVY/WET snow is likely to fall (or a lot of fluffy stuff too, but he didn't mention this). During the times once its fallen, people tend to go out to shovel (my dad used a snowblower, but he didn't appreciate that interruption ... I was an ass). Shoveling can lead to extra exersion on the body. For some people this could lead to added stress on their heart. The stress could lead to a heartt attack. Ta-da

Now fast forward to EVERYTHING going on in the Court system right now against both Hunter Biden and President Trump (he still could run for one more term, if he chooses to).

The Special Council, Jack Smith, has laid out his current court case so that it should begin the day before Super Tuesday - when a vast majoriy of states will hold their primaries, and Trump will likely have to be on the campaign trail instead of in the court room - which is likely to lead to a Contempt of Court charge and call for his immediate arrest ... leading to a bunch of other consequences.

Anyhow, he is looking for a final word from the Supreme Court as to whether a President is protected under the "Immunity" clause of the office of the US President.

It was taken to a state Supreme Court and found that he was not covered ... Justice Chutkan said that being president does not equal to a"Life-Long Get Out of Free" card.  

Trumps team, following procedures, moved onto the Appeals Court ... it has not been decided yet, but likely could have dragged the election out passed the 2024 election season.

Special Prosecutor Smith decided to Leap Frog - that is, not risking the Appeals Court ruling against him - and jumped straight to the Spreme Court.

He said that to delay the trial through the regular procedures would "damage" the democratic system in America ... and that he wants to call forth a witness to testify about President Trump's Twitter account at the time of the riots to show how people were reacting to his Tweets. 

On President Trump's teams side - they are accusing Special Prosecutor Smith as trying to interfer with the 2024 elections.

Okay then - what brought up the stuff from my college then?

They whole Twitter thing ... if I write "I hope a bird falls out of a tree" and it does, does that make me resposible? That is basically what they are asking people to believe.  

People write stupid stuff all the time ... even J.M.Barrie wrote about a dog (a Newfoundland, btw) who was a nanny to a group of children - but there was no great rush for people to run out and buy dogs to care for thier kids!  In the 1980s the story was updated into "Good Boy, Carl" in which a Rottrieller took care of a toddler while his parents were at work ... again, no rush to buy a babysitting dog.

There was a rush of kids to the hospital after the movie version of "Mary Poppins" came out though - but it was children who jumped off the rooves, not the parents.

There's a rationing procedure which the adult brain begins in adolescense ... it is the part which tells you not to put your hand in a fan blade or touch a pot straight from the oven without something to protect your hands.  Its generally what keeps us from being so gullible.

Somewhere though, appearantly, people have stopped developing this bit of intellectual gymnastics.

In otherwords ... how dumb have people become??

Now according to Good Morning America (ABC) the US Supreme Court has decided to accept the case... 

I am shocked that they didn't tell Smith to get back into line and wait until the Appeals Court had finished their deliberations.

But - alas - it was not to be.

I am a firm believer in following the course of things.  I am quite disappointed that SCOTUS would allow this.

It really doesn't matter who is bringing a case, nor the reason for it.

There are some cases where a jump to the front is necessary (such as 2000 where the recount was threarening to prevent the certification of the Electoral College - and it didn't make much a difference in the end count anyways).

This is a case which should have taken its place in the queue ... made to wait its turn ...
