Phil Beaver
seeks to collaborate on the ineluctable truth. Ineluctable means: Not to be assailed, avoided, broken, changed,
escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, resisted, revoked, or
voided. Some people erroneously imagine limiting the ineluctable truth, for
example, trying to change it.
"Civic"
refers to citizens who collaborate for individual
happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or
society. Civic citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from
anyone. Civic citizens are reliably responsible to the good rather than the bad
in connections and transactions.
Consider
writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens
mutual appreciation: For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and
paraphrase its proposal as follows: The civic faction, We the People of the United States,
proffer and practice six public pursuits —- integrity, justice, safety,
strength, prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue happiness “to
ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve
my interpretation by listening-to and considering other citizens and their
interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787 text, unless it is
amended by the civic-people.
It seems the
Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one with status has challenged
whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this
independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states
deliberately managed by appreciative fellow citizens convinces me the preamble
is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the faction who
collaborate for statutory justice, We the People of the United States.
Every citizen
has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in
the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try
somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the
goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies
grandchildren to both born Americans and legal immigrants. Congressional
freedom of religion, which fellow citizens have no means to constrain,
oppresses freedom to develop integrity. This can be remedied by changing the
First Amendment from “prohibiting” to “promoting”.
Selected theme from this month
From the Complete Jewish Bible (1998)
John
1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.”
Genesis 1:1-2, “In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was unformed and void,
darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the
surface of the water.”
Matthew 5:48, “Therefore, be perfect, just as your Father
in heaven is perfect.”
It seems that necessary goodness existed in the beginning.

Vice President J D Vance shows that he is not only open
minded and appreciative but open hearted. At 15'50" he responds to a
heckler openly, shaming her as supportive of illegal aliens. And at 19' he
responds to another heckler to choose a better venue, in order to be heard. He
invites practical feedback. The crowd applauds his goodness, even his urge to sanctuary
cities to get on board for more affordable housing to United States citizens.
He expressed President Trump goodness, too and mentioned key cabinet members
working for affordable housing. It would be encouraging for most citizens to
enjoy and aid necessary goodness rather than to accommodate opposition, crime,
and evil.

It seems President Trump perceives that United States
presence in global centers increases potential for peace in the world.
Recently, he considers expatriate involvement or more in
Canada, Gaza, Greenland, Panama, and Ukraine. If he is correct, expatriate work
is merely an additional cost of civic integrity. Civic means reliable
responsibility to necessary goodness on earth.
Every individual may and can constrain chaos in the way they
live, by not attempting to defy the laws of physics and progeny (e.g.,
mathematics, economics, and psychology). Similarly, nations may collaborate to
constrain tyranny among humankind rather than mystify a utopia.

When a prosecutor brings a case to court that is

The lawyer who takes a case for Quakers to claim United

It seems the western world wants the killing to stop.
Perhaps Britain and the EU recall the words of George
Washington, June 8, 1783, "At this auspicious period, the United States
came into existence as a Nation, and if their Citizens should not be completely
free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own . . . yet, it appears to
me there is an option still left to the United States of America, that it is in
their choice, and depends upon their conduct, whether they will be respectable
and prosperous, or contemptable and miserable as a Nation; This is the time of
their political probation, this is the moment when the eyes of the whole World
are turned upon them, this is the moment to establish or ruin their national
Character forever, this is the favorable moment to give such a tone to our
Federal Government, as will enable it to answer the ends of its institution, or
this may be the ill-fated moment for relaxing the powers of the Union,
annihilating the cement of the Confederation, and exposing us to become the
sport of European politics, which may play one State against another to prevent
their growing importance, and to serve their own interested purposes. For,
according to the system of Policy the States shall adopt at this moment, they

People who want to aid humankind in the quest for necessary
goodness on earth may have read Raphael Patai's The Arab Mind and would
encourage reform to civic integrity. Even people born Jewish can negotiate a
deal intending to betray the other party. Ukraine might reform as their nation
chooses.
I think the Biden administration created blood money in
Ukraine. The EU accommodated it. Just as a citizen may and can help the
neighbor in need or report a criminal, so as to strengthen their city, a nation
may aid the world in its quest to end wars.
After working to protect each citizen in the United States,
President Trump applies his excellence to suggest to other nations that they
may and can end wars, knowing only the other can respond. Trump accepts that
nations can choose to stop killing their citizens. It is not too late for every
nation to accept the self-interest of necessary goodness.
And it is not too late for the Democrat Party to appreciate
United States citizens. They'll have a chance on Tuesday to show that they are
thinking for goodness rather than crowding for power. I have every confidence
that they may, but only they can choose necessary goodness.

To jepulynn
You raise some interesting concerns.
There are 10 provinces, with populations ranging from .047 million to 19
million. How would their representatives and senators impact the United States
republic? How long would it take Canadian politicians to convert from European
social democracy to Americanism: I won’t tread on you and you won’t tread on
me.
Can Canadians, or any descendants of British and French colonialism comprehend
the independence American fights for and the constitutional republic (I think
statutory justice) the United States proffered and pursues?
How many Americans collaborate for statutory justice? Would the addition of
Canada lessen the United States focus on replacing Anglo-American tradition
with continual pursuit of statutory justice?
Quora
https://www.quora.com/Why-did-you-disagree-that-freedom-should-be-defined-as-the-absence-or-coercion
“Freedom” is a political-power motivated construct that
promoters use to bemuse people from civic responsibility. It was especially
effective to coerce Europeans 400 years ago, became a watchword in America’s
war for independence from England, and was lethal as “liberty” in the French
Revolution. “Civic” means reliably responsible in human connections and
transactions. Human being (verb) is the practice of neither initiating nor
accommodating harm to or from anyone, including self. The individual who
pursues human being (verb) takes slight interest in freedom: Human practice
addresses constraints due to the laws of physics and its progeny, such as
mathematics, economics, and psychology.
The human-being seems a god facing death. A human life is
sustained by breathing air for oxygen, drinking water for kidney and other
bodily functions, and eating nutrients and carbohydrates that are required for
personal functions, including work. Work is required to provide daily food
consumption and provision of water and air for living. Further, a person needs
shelter, clothing, transportation, and other functionalities. All of these needs
are efficiently provided in a reliable market of providers and consumers. The
responsible person participates in civic integrity, pursuing human being.
Each individual is forced by physics and its
progeny to pursue the necessities to sustain her or his life. Each one
is coerced, by efficiency, to rely on civic citizens who maintain the
market of goods and services. The individual who takes
reliable responsibility for her or his civic integrity earns their
way of living plus enough to pay local, state, and national taxes to provide
and maintain essential infrastructure including the pursuit of statutory
justice.
Justice is required, because some individuals want exclusive favor. Civic
citizens provide government and assign them limited responsibility to legislate,
administer, and adjudicate harm caused by dissidents and rebels against
responsibility.
The civic citizen votes for candidates who intend to pursue and maintain
statutory justice in the market, never supporting rights, favor, and other
injustices to self.
I know of no culture that pursues civic integrity. However,
one is proffered “to ourselves and our Posterity” in the 1787 U.S.
Constitution. Perhaps a civic society will mimic and effect its principles.
Perhaps after 238 years of neglect, the civic faction of We
the People of the United States will articulate individual and collaborative
pursuit of necessary goodness to the nation and thereby to the world.

I think Genesis 1:26-28, 5500 year-old political philosophy
from the Sumerian civilization, informs us that humankind is in charge of
statutory justice on earth. The civic people may and can develop laws to reform

I'm approaching 82 years old and recently discovered Yeshua
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua), that precocious political philosopher
from ancient Nazareth.
I read "Yeshua" in the Complete Jewish Bible (1998), free at https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%201&version=CJB
.
I think Yeshua's civic influence would aid communication of your objections to
the flag we fly at our home.
I once wrote to Senator John McCain that I wanted my neighbor to be able to
burn his or her flag, as means of notifying me about a serious concern. Then, I
could consider joining my neighbor's bid for change.
https://www.facebook.com/iamnumerouno/posts/10163105380872853, March 14
I like the discussion but have a different perspective.
Since about 2013, I wanted to do all I could to keep Baton
Rouge intact. That is, persuade St. George not to form a separate city. I
learned that online-expressing my opinion to unknown audience is more
productive than appealing to friends, neighbors, churches, and elected
officials.
Also, having a 3 minute conversation with a person at my
walking park is more rewarding than visiting at Sunday school and church (which
I do anyway).
For example, as I was walking on Thursday, a familiar Bible
passage came to mind, and for the first time, I perceived my solution to a
familiar riddle. I saw parents with their small boy and said, "I am a
writer and just solved a riddle. May I share it with you and get your reaction
-- in less than 3 minutes?"
They both answered, "Yes."
I presented the riddle: In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with The God, and the Word was The God. What is The God?
And the solution: necessary goodness.
The gentleman thought and said, "Jesus' influence was
possible when the first human appeared."
He smiled and said, "I like it."
She agreed and said, "Our boy will benefit from your
riddle."
I thanked them and we departed.
Sunday school and church have obligations that assure
collaboration without joy. I thank them and try to share.
As a consequence of little humility to The God, it is
estimated that there are 18 thousand Gods in the world. There are 45 thousand
Christian sects. The God is either whatever constrains the consequence of human
choice or something else that demands my humility.

Modern humankind may and can reform Judeo-Christianity, in
order to benefit-from Yeshua’s civic influence. Matthew, in Chapter 5, Verse
48, suggests that Yeshua informs us we can perfect ourselves. Yeshua appreciated
and affirmed Genesis 1:26-28, an idea perhaps coming from the Sumerians.
Semitic-speaking peoples debated
humankind’s purpose and, transitioning from “God” from Genesis 2:3 to 2:4,
proposed serving “Jehovah God”. See http://hebrewoldtestament.com/B01C002.htm.
In my 82nd year (thank
goodness), the name that rings in my subconscious is “Yeshua”, because his urge
-- make no more errors -- has become my intention, low as my performance may
be.
Yesterday, a memorization from you
youth rang out. I looked it up in my favorite source, The Complete Jewish Bible
(1998). Psalm 19:14 reads, “May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my
heart be acceptable in your presence, Adonai, my Rock and Redeemer.” Alas, http://hebrewoldtestament.com/B19C019.htm
does not affirm “Adonai”.
Besides, KJV, from my youth, has
“O Lord”, which would be Jesus then or Jesus Christ before now.
We live in the best of times.
Before today, I had no idea how powerfully the Internet empowers curiosity in recall
and resolution to personal preference.
Today, my prayer is: May the words
of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable to you, Yeshua.
Thank you, Jim, for motivating me
to share.

Europeans can't imagine a United States civic citizen's
gratitude to 18th century Spain and France, because Europeans pursue
reinforcement of their bias rather than seek necessary goodness.
For example, https://www.britannica.com/topic/Gadsden-flag distracts from a
civic faction of We the People of the United States by ignoring that 13 British
colonies declared and won a war of independence. In 1775, they made a
statement: we take care of our lives and expect you to take care of yours.
Europeans never got the message.
Six years after England surrendered to France and the 13 colonies at Yorktown,
11 of the 13 newly independent states formed a union that promised the people
in their states a republican form of government. Soon there were 14 states and
today there are 50 going on 51.
Today, only the civic faction of We the People of the United States understand
"Don't tread on me" as a claim to reliable responsibility.

I wondered if you had posted objection to someone torching a Tesla car.
I sincerely ask you,
Luc, and the people who agree with your lament to improve my interpretation of
the preamble to the United States Constitution.
I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase the intentions,
trust, and commitment as follows:
In this country, the civic faction, We the People of
the United States, proffer and practice six public pursuits —- integrity,
justice, safety, strength, prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue
happiness “to ourselves and our Posterity”.
Every
United States citizen is free to choose to live by necessary goodness,
dissidence, badness, or evil. The civic faction collaborates to establish and
maintain order, developing statutory justice when unjust laws are discovered.
I think inhabitants who have not encountered, or resolved, or do not accept
their personal interpretation of the preamble ought not vote in city, county,
state, or federal elections.

The Biden administration allowed and paid for the Ukraine
destruction and death. Trump requires Europe to chip in, and they plan to . . .
provided Trump will back them. We'll see how it turns out.
Again, Ike warned against fellow citizens who hold
military-supply stocks. See
https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/president-dwight-d-eisenhowers-farewell-address.
Biden supported the military industrial complex at the expense of perhaps a
million dead and ancient cities obliterated.
Again, Biden gave 1/3 of a trillion dollars to Ukraine's war chest, which
partially came back to the United States military industrial complex as arms
supplies. Trump stopped the burden to the United States' civic citizens.
The United States does not want to support the killing of people and
destruction of property, which Biden claimed a sacred duty;

Again, March 5, Thank you, Luc.
I think I'm riding the laws of physics and progeny (mathematics, economics,
psychology, etc.). I hope Trump's negotiations end war by Russia and others for
the foreseeable future, yet read and listen for actual-reality.
I think it is tragic and threatening that the Democrat Party has no morality:
America is proffered on political integrity sharpened by collaborative persons.
Here, the civic faction, We the People of the United States, proffer and
practice six public pursuits —- integrity, justice, safety, strength,
prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue happiness “to ourselves
and our Posterity”. The world benefits when the United States collaborates on
its intentions.

In relativism, the human being assumes his case study

Perhaps Gilbert found in common to the Nazi-accused a lack of empathy toward

But by qualifying application to the general, Gilbert's "I think"
protected the question of empathy toward evil people.

I like to share 2 concepts for change by the civic faction of We the

goodness during a complete lifetime. Second, for students who resist education,
facilitate and encourage them to comprehend the economics of serving a civic
people in exchange for the income to pay for the life they want to live. In
this context, "civic" means reliable responsibility to life on earth.
Civic people accept the civil burden of pursuing statutory justice.

Thank you, Cleve, for a timely quotation of Solomon, son of
David, about 3000 years ago.
To him "the Lord" was Adonai, one of the names for the Jewish YHWH.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism. The quote left me in
mystery until yesterday. The Christian competition is The Trinity.
Trying to write about Genesis 1:26-28 (4000 years old), I recognized a paradox.
Its perhaps 5500 year old political philosophy, abstractly stated, is that each
human being may and can accept the power, the authority, and the responsibility
to pursue necessary goodness to life on earth ("so that they may rule
[life] and subdue [earth]", NIV).
The paradox is: To accept human power, authority, and responsibility to
necessary goodness in life, I must be humble to the mystery of its grantor. I
can neither agree-with nor translate Solomon. I cannot impose my constraints on
the mystery.

Freedom of speech is a controversial topic. Without freedom
to speak, a person cannot discover self-interest to pursue integrity. Free
speech empowers citizens to discover cunning liars. But even liars know not to
cry “Fire” in a crowded venue. Some media speech is tyranny. Freedom of speech
seems a contradiction.
Only humankind – no other species -- may and can choose to order life on earth,
in order to achieve necessary goodness. Citizens who pursue necessary goodness
collaborate, in order to aid fellow citizens in need, challenge dissidents to
reform, constrain criminals, and eliminate evils.
Civic citizens collaborate to necessary goodness. If they don’t know how, they
wait for more evidence, unless they are being attacked. Civic citizens ought to
require education departments to teach youth, adolescents, and adults to
comprehend and practice necessary goodness.
Individuals, societies, and nations may and can promote freedom of
collaboration to necessary goodness above freedom of speech.

I think the world reached the moral abyss in 2024 and civic
reform is underway. "Civic" means reliable responsibility to
necessary goodness on earth.
The civic faction of We the People of the United States, in the nation's 237th
year of operation, voted to accept the power, authority, and responsibility to
pursue statutory justice. That is, to discover injustices in the United States
constitution (amended 27 times), and change, in order to approach if not
achieve necessary justice.
In statutory justice, a civic people work to earn their preferred way of
living, aid fellow citizens who cannot earn, encourage and facilitate reform to
those who choose dereliction, constrain criminals, and eliminate evil people.
I see in this morning's' news that the United States Attorney General is
sending a convicted murderer back to the Oklahoma so that the execution he
invited may and can be delivered. Statutory justice requires certainty in both
determination of intentional harm and delivery of the promised penalty.
Intentional murder invites death.
A civic people accept the duty to uphold statutory justice. A civic culture
manages its civil codes, in order to pursue goodness in life on earth. In
ultimate goodness, incidental let alone intentional murder would never happen.
But that would be utopia.
Perhaps 2025 marks humankind's reform from pursuit of utopia to acceptance of
the power, authority, and responsibility to rule life on earth according to
necessary goodness.

Contentions over Bible mysteries bemused me until late in my

I accept the confusions churches nourished throughout my life. All the way,
Yeshua's civic influence reminded me: Phil, since you MAY pursue necessary
goodness, you CAN perfect your actions. Now, I articulate choices and wait if
necessary goodness is not ineluctably evident. "Ineluctable" means,
together, not to be avoided, changed, or resisted.
That not to say reactions to the Church did not harm my past.

Yeshua’s civic influence, from the

Necessary goodness seems Yeshua’s word.
Genesis 1:1-2, “In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was unformed and void,
darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the
surface of the water.”
Necessary goodness seems Yeshua’s spirit.
Matthew 5:48, “Therefore, be perfect, just as your Father
in heaven is perfect.”
Necessary goodness seems Yeshua’s perfection.

Necessary goodness seems Yeshua’s word (John 1:1), spirit

Thank you, friends and family, who helped me recall Dona.
There's more, and I appreciate this second opportunity.
I think Dona and I, together, pursued Yeshua, the precocious political and
religious philosopher, who was born to Aramaic-speaking Jews in Nazareth, 2000
years ago. None of humankind's philosophers have received comparable
consideration and competition.
I regret discovery too late to learn Dona's view about Yeshua's civic
influence. "Civic" refers to reliable-responsibility to necessary
goodness on earth. I do not always know the necessary goodness, so pursue
humility, as Dona did in dialogue with fellow citizens.
I accept Jesus, Christ, Holy Spirit, The Trinity, and God, provided hopes do
not lessen Yeshua's civic influence.

President Trump 47 is great because of the civic citizens he
chose to represent the United States republic in a civil world dominated by
social democracy: e.g., Keith Kellog (seated on JD Vance's left side) in https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/live-munich-security-conference-holds-panel-on-plan-for-ukraine-5810693?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=pushnotification&utm_campaign=braze
Again, Feb 18
The European chorus is "our democracy"; President
Trump’s representative, Keith Kellogg eloquently responds that the United
States is a republic.
Any American citizen or inhabitant who uses the phrase "our
democracy" discloses personal opposition if not arrogance to the United
States Constitution. Maybe they're influenced by European grants/support or
confused by the right to vote. Neither bemusement excuses their ignorance of
the United States intention: to pursue civic justice through the rule of law.
The civic faction of We the People of the United States intentionally discovers
unjust laws then amends them, sometimes repeatedly, in order to approach if not
establish interconnected statutory justice to life in the United States if not
on earth.
Fortunately, in 2024, a civic people voted for President Trump, empowering him,
based on prior presidency, to choose leaders who, aware or not, collaborate for
statutory justice. Leadership Again is the historic-step-change we are
experiencing, only 236 years into operation under the principles proffered by
the civic faction in 1787 "to ourselves and our Posterity".
Leaders Trump chose to represent a civic people, e.g., Keith Kellogg,
demonstrate that the United States has at last articulated its message to the
nations: there's greatness in the pursuit of statutory justice to life on
earth.
Knowing his cabinet and other leaders and constantly conversing with them,
President Trump maintains his personhood by associating with the people,
intending to increase the civic faction. His family celebrates the world's
progress toward statutory justice.
A world in need is experiencing powerful goodness. The more nations accept
necessary goodness as a self-interest, the better the chances for humankind to
fulfill its purpose: pursuit of necessary goodness.
It cannot happen under democracy, let alone "our democracy".

Noticing that a court banned the poem celebrating Biden's
inauguration, I share this thought: The United States is a republic that is
designed to prevent democracy. See Article IV, Section 4 of the United States
Constitution.
The Democrat Party may and can reform its bemusement with an unconstitutional
hope. The civic faction of We the People of the United States pursues statutory
justice "to ourselves and our Posterity" rather than democratic
chaos.

Dear President Trump:
One of my warmest thoughts of
you is that you express sports, art, and thought to be humankind's realms for
competition, putting foreign war and domestic violence on the block for annihilation.
The only information I receive
about "The View" comes from Fox News. Please mention to Fox my wish
to hear no more about cheap-TV war on you -- end Fox's free promotion of
"The View". Likewise, Fox News can often choose to let Biden, Harris,
and their administration's past speak for themselves.
The world needs news about
your accomplishments and your administration's actions, without spotlight on
the failing opposition. Yet Fox remains free to choose.
Sincerely,

Dear President Trump:
Today, I watched some of Jim Jordan and Jamie Raskins leading a hearing
on Biden’s censorship of freedom of speech. Raskins seems an unfortunate
adversary and Jordan seems a collaborator to necessary goodness.
Freedom of speech is long-since
controversial. Without freedom to speak, a person cannot discover self-interest
to pursue integrity. Free speech accommodates the discovery of liars, cunning
as they may be. But even liars know not to cry “Fire” in a crowded venue. Some
media speech is tyranny. Freedom of speech seems a contradiction.
Only humankind may and can
choose to order life on earth, in order to achieve necessary goodness.
Education departments ought to teach youth to comprehend and practice necessary
goodness. Citizens who pursue necessary goodness collaborate to aid fellow
citizens who need it, challenge dissidents, constrain criminals, and eliminate
evils. Civic citizens collaborate.
Please promote freedom of
collaboration above freedom of speech. Leave to legislators and judges
opportunity to amend the First Amendment. Provide the few civic Democrats and
wayward Republicans civic reason to tame free speech -- to choose
collaboration.
Sincerely,
Phillip Beaver
Second thought, Feb 13:
Dear President Trump:
Today, I’m monitoring the Senate hearing, preceding the vote for Kash
Patel as FBI Director. I’m observing collaboration to necessary goodness vs
chosen badness.
The good vs bad debate extends beyond political party. Collaborators for
the bad ignore the better arguments of collaborators for necessary goodness.
The past four years clarified 50 to 70 years drift toward FBI badness,
accelerated by the Obama administration. It seems Obama and the Clintons
collaborated to control the Biden administration. Ironically, they hurt the
Democrat Party.
Their collective commitment to weaponization of the judicial branch
exceeded interest in the Democrat Party. In consequence, after 70 to 100 years’
bemusement, the civic faction of We the People of the United States essentially
abandoned the Democrat Party, convinced by the evidence that you, President
Trump, are, above all else, an exceptional collaborator and negotiator to the
necessary good. Moreover, you seem to assert that in some cases you do not know
the necessary goodness, so wait for additional evidence. You express humility
to higher power, unknown as it may be.
Impactfuly, collaboration is accompanied by a noun,
"collaborator", commonly used in the negative. Someone who aids
communism may be called a collaborator. “Collaborator” draws attention to
factions more effectively than "speech" does. “Collaborator” enjoys
positivism among professional networks: https://hbr.org/2008/12/which-kind-of-collaboration-is-right-for-you .
Among the Democrats there are a few collaborators to the necessary
goodness, who fear they will lose their opportunity to serve if they deviate
from Party alliance. For the Party, they use freedom of speech to betray
collaboration to necessary goodness, denying civic and Constitutional integrity
to their constituents. I know at least one Senator who speaks for necessary
goodness yet votes with Party badness. I think Tulsi Gabbard is an exception;
personal values empowered her to change from the party of confusion.
You, Sir, collaborate to necessary goodness when you publically express
that you don’t see how individuals choose badness (my view about your speech).
You encourage and empower errant leaders to collaborate to necessary goodness
rather than for the Party. Motivating errant citizens to reform is part of
civic integrity. Thank you.
I hope at least one Democrat and 53 Republicans vote for Kash Patel. And
I hope you change the public conversation from "freedom of speech" to
"freedom of collaboration to necessary goodness", or better.
Sincerely,
Phillip Beaver

Dear Sirs and Madams,
The United States needs majority jury verdicts in criminal court and
should allow states to use them. England uses them. Ramos v Louisiana (2020)
was shockingly argued on a lie.
Ramos v. Louisiana,
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/590/18-5924/, in a 6:3 vote imposes
12:0 criminal jury verdicts on the states. Ramos contested "his conviction
by a nonunanimous jury as an unconstitutional denial of the Sixth Amendment
right to a jury trial". Justice Gorsuch actively opined with Ramos.
Here's Amendment 6: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall
enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State
and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall
have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to
have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the
Assistance of Counsel for his defence."
The key phrase in A6 is "an impartial jury of the State and district
wherein the crime shall have been committed". In a diverse society,
judicial statistics favor majority verdicts. Informed as they are, even the
Supreme Court uses 5:4 verdicts.
Given the factional political views of American jurists, statistics favor
non-unanimous criminal juries. Louisiana had 9:3 jury verdicts in 1898 and 10:2
in 1794 but an activist legislature sponsored a racially motivated public
referendum to establish unanimous juries in 2018.
Gorsuch egregiously cited 14th century English law, when "Majority
verdicts have been allowed in England and Wales since the Criminal Justice Act
1967." See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juries_in_England_and_Wales.
Purpose of the English provision is to lessen organized crime's influence on
trials.
I think today's Supreme Court is less activist and would reverse the
injustice imposed on Louisiana, Oregon, and any of the 50 states whose
legislatures seek to improve justice.
To restore Louisiana citizens' rights to participate in non-unanimous
juries would also require reversal of the racially motivated public referendum
of 2018.
I feel confident the present Trump administration would call this
important judicial reform common sense.
I appreciate your time to read this and hope for a positive response.
Sincerely,
Phillip Beaver

I think Chief Justice John Roberts invited
his own impeachment, by disrespecting the balance of powers the civic faction
of We the People of the United States requires. I don't know the ineluctable
truth.
Phil
Beaver does not “know.” He trusts in and is committed to theineluctabletruth, which
can only be discovered. Conventional wisdom has truth founded on reason, but it
obviously does not work.
