Good People! 
Wake Up!
By Theresa El-Amin

The Supreme Court 5-4 decision on the travel ban confirms yet again that the lifetime appointment to the bench for federal judges does not protect us from their politics or their inhumanity. They won't lose their jobs over an unpopular decision. Therefore, they are emboldened to interpret the constitution in the context of their own politics.

     

Thanks to Justice Sonia Sotomayor for not holding back her passion in her dissenting opinion. The women of the Supreme Court are the ones with soul and interpret the law through the lens of humanity.

     

The shameless politicking of Clarence Thomas and others claiming to be conservatives has damaged the integrity of the Supreme Court. How can Chief Justice Roberts claim that the president shows no animus in banning Muslims from so-called s***hole countries?

   

Good people, prepare to struggle! It's not over. To Justice Anthony Kennedy, "Your resignation is accepted. You are a coward. Goodbye and good luck."

     

If the decision in Korematsu v. US, decided in 1944 which upheld a presidential order to forcibly place Japanese-Americans in concentration camps is rejected, how can a travel ban against Muslims from certain countries be okay?

     

Immigration lawyers get ready to get even more busy. The fight to keep the USA white is on. Will we people of color and allies fight back? That's the question to be answered in the Decade for People of African Descent declared by the UN effective January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2024. Ready to create the 5-year plan to beat back escalating attacks against black and brown people. They rip our children from the arms of their mothers and fathers. They are devils and must be fought as such. This devil has many heads. The practice of beheading is a punishment that has its symbolism. Cutting off the head of a snake kills it. Cutting off the heads of the monstrous body politic attacking our human rights is necessary. Are we still human? If the answer is "Yes!", we must fight to end these crimes against humanity.

     

Prepare to struggle! Forward together! Not one step back!
