CHURCH STATE SEPARATION. Protecting freedom requires a wall between church and state, which is crumbling, was the take away today (3/29) from a Univ. of Minn. Lifelong Learning class online. Social justice activists from Cincinatti’s Jewish Humanist Congregation Beth Adam spoke. Pew Research: 55% of Americans support separation of church and state. Supreme court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby to impose their religious values on employees. Everyone should be threatened to the extent that these people succeed in breaking down the separation wall. Upcoming case before the Court: Wash. State related to football coach requiring players to pray; should be a decision within a few months. https://www.bethadam.org/social-justice1.html
RAGE, 2020 book, several interviews by journalist Bob Woodward with No. 45 following Woodward’s book “Fear: Trump in the White House.” The takeaway from “Rage” comes when Woodward asks Trump to define the president’s job. Trump hedges and Woodward offers this: “it’s figuring out what the next stage of good is for a majority of people in the country.” Trump responds: “That’s good.” Woodward writes: “As I listened, I was struck by the vague, directionless nature of Trump’s comments. He had been president for just under 3 years, but couldn’t seem to articulate a strategy or plan for the country. I was surprised he would go into 2020, the year he hoped to win reelection, without more clarity to his message.” Woodward wrote 189 pages of Trump goofing off before becoming surprised.

Yes, people have become too complacent about their rights. The leaked opinion of Justice Alito caught most of us off-guard. That is why we Americans must be forever vigilant.
