Re women's bodies, as the old saying goes, "Your religion is not my country." I stand by that. If the US does not nail down the woman's right to her body, we will continue our slide into autocracy.

You are our North Star for democracy and decency. Thank-you. It's painful to witness the outrageous right, and to see and hear how desperate they are to control, manipulate and harm people. When it's all said and done, I sure hope there is a hell!! Be safe and well.

‘Penumbra’: Nice!
What’s not nice is Mike Johnson looking through bedroom windows, and desperate women terminating their own pregnancies, which, when resulting in sepsis and death, often leaves older children motherless. I remember those days.
Thx again for enlightening talk.

I too think we will take both houses of congress and the White House in November. And I agree that it will then be time to fix the supreme court. I'm thinking 13 justices with 18 year term limits. Other things to fix: codify Roe V Wade, get rid of Citizens United and legalize grass. I hear there is less drinking where grass is legal. That's a good thing.

Judge Merchan has already said he doesn't want to put him in jail, which disturbs me in regard to this sentencing.

I completely agree with you, when Biden wins the first thing that needs to be tended to is repairing the Supreme Court.
Thank you for another great chat in the Cathedral of Trees. Have a marvelous, sweet, easy, breezy week.
I look forward to seeing you next time. 🤗💙

My daughter was born weighing four pounds three ounces. She was the most perfect baby I had ever seen and I never let myself believe anything negative would happen. She graduated from Emory and is a lawyer. Cheers.

When I was in my 30's, my mother told me what happened to her when she went to confession and talked with the priest. At that time my mother had five children and had had a miscarriage. She explained to the priest that the rhythm method and condoms were not working, and she wanted to get on birth control pills. She said the priest started yelling at her and physically threw her out of the confessional. The priest said how dare she doubt what God expected of her. My mom proceeded to have four more children. She died from ovarian cancer at "58." My mom also told me she had never had an orgasm. Please tell me these republican monsters will crawl back into their caves.

John, you continue to be the voice to listen to and believe. What would we do without you since we count on you each and every day! Keep your walking shoes on! Stay well and safe.

I can't understand what's happening. Being in my 30s it just blows my mind that we now live in a time when some women cannot make one of the most fundamental decisions for herself. And just the idea of a theocracy. It feels surreal. Thanks for the walk John

I love listening to your insights on each days happenings. You basically ground me each day. Thanks you.
I keep bouncing the political between my ears between talks though haha. I know I shouldn't, but I do. These two appointments to the Intelligence Committee in the House has me back to thinking sloooow coup again.

The bottom line is our country is in big time trouble with the ceazy supreme Court bringing the country back 50 years instead of moving forward sadly this is where we are

Such a comprehensive “walk and talk.” Thank you, John! 🕊️ S&D

Your observations, as usual, are so helpful. You are like a lawyer/public scholar who shares what he observes from a long life of reflection and practice.

Always enjoy your wisdom and commentary. I love the trees in the background. It's very calming. Wishing you and Holly well!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts John.

John…Thank you so much for your regular dose of expertise and sensible discussion. I have listened to your walk/talk nearly every day for about a year. I would like to better understand the pros/cons of expanding SCOTUS . Could you perhaps talk about this one day ?
Thank you again and all the best to you and your family…..
