Mostly because of the horrific nature of the case, Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales remains one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in recent decades. In 2011, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights condemned the decision. Critics have argued that it basically says it’s ok for the police to ignore restraining orders.
Decided on a technicality, it’s easy to understand why this decision is so unsettling to so many when it began with police refusing to enforce a restraining order, and learning that them actually enforcing that restraining order could have prevented the murder of three children.

Simon & Garfunkel: Together Alone by Spencer Leigh
https://www.biography.com/news/simon-...
#simonandgarfunkel #musichistory #popculture
In total, Simon & Garfunkel won ten Grammy Awards and sold more than 100 million records. They were one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s, challenging bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They are widely considered to be one of the best musical duos of all time. Throughout their career, their music evolved from a standard folk rock sound to a much more experimental folk rock sound, and it always seemed to particularly resonate with the alienated youth of the Baby Boomer generation. What stands out about Simon & Garfunkel are mainly two things. First, Paul’s superb songwriting abilities. And second, how both really were a yin and yang. What better evidence of this than their mastery of harmonizing together. Both made each other better, and their songs still resonate with the youth of today.

#selfmade #selfhelp #history
As it turns out, being “self-made” is a uniquely American phrase.
It was on the Senate floor on February 2, 1842, that Henry Clay first coined the phrase “self-made man.” After that, folks began describing a “self-made man” as any person who achieved success independently, without any outside help.
But economic mobility, or the ability of people to move up or down the economic ladder in terms of their wealth, has been steadily declining in the United States for decades.

#apgov #scotus #supremecourtbriefs
Baker v. Carr is one of the most important Supreme Court cases in American history. It really opened up the floodgates. Although the Court has always been at least somewhat political, I’d argue this case made it much more political. I’d also argue that no Supreme Court case in American history has ever tested our justices more so than this case. I mean, it led to one justice having a nervous breakdown, for crying out loud.
And finally, this case made it so that the Court would likely be much more busy from now on.

Of the 101 offices I called, 53 didn’t pick up, so I left 53 voicemails. In every single voicemail I left, I briefly mentioned the bill, issue, or policy I wanted the Senator to know about, as well as my contact information. Oh yeah, I also tried to remember to thank them for their service. Sucking up never hurts, after all.
48 staffers DID answer.
At first, I told staffers that they’re call was being recorded and they didn’t like that too much. So I stopped telling them after that. By the way, the District of Columbia has a “one-party consent” law, which means it’s not a crime to record a phone call as long as one party knows.

So which is better? Sweden or Norway? As always, if you are actually FROM one of these two amazing countries, I want to hear from you. Thanks to my good friend Dan for looking over this script. Many of his ancestors came over from Norway to moved the Midwest as part of that wave I mentioned that happened in the 1800s.

Trump v. Hawaii strengthened the president’s authority over immigration and national security matters. Still, the decision remained controversial, as many folks just saw it as a sneaky way for Trump to prevent Muslims from entering the country.

London, 1963
Roger Waters and Nick Mason meet while studying architecture at what is now known as the University of Westminster. Eventually, they both joined a band called Sigma 6, although at one point the band was called the Meggadeaths and they eventually settled on the name The Tea Set. Waters played lead guitar and Mason played drums. There was also Keith Noble, Clive Metcalfe, and another fellow architecture student named Richard Wright who played keyboard. For lack of a better word, The Tea Set was a standard rock band that specialized in R&B covers.
However, soon Noble and Metcalfe left the band, and others took their place. There was Bob Klose, who played lead guitar after Waters shifted to bass guitar. Klose introduced Waters to Chris Dennis, who became their new lead singer. Meanwhile, Syd Barrett, a childhood friend of Waters, also joined up with them playing guitar. In December 1964, they recorded for the first time at a studio that one of Wright’s friends let them use.
In early 1965, the Royal Air Force assigned Dennis to Bahrain, so Barrett stepped in to become the band’s new singer. A few months later, they became the resident band at the Countdown Club in London. Each night into the wee hours they played three 90-minute sets. This was when their songs got longer with more solos and they, dare I say, got more experimental with their sound. In the summer, after pressure from his parents and teachers, Klose quit the band to focus on his studies, and Barrett also took over lead guitar.
After going through various more name changes, by the end of 1965 the four of them- Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright- were now billing themselves Pink Floyd. The name came from the combined names of two American blues musicians Barrett loved, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
Pink Floyd played lots of gigs throughout 1966, and even started to get paid for them! Led by Barrett, their sound was a weird mix of rock, blues, and even music hall. Ultimately, their sound distinctly became known as psychedelic, meaning music influenced by psychedelic drugs…hallucinogenic drugs that created weird states of consciousness. Barrett, in particular, became a regular user of LSD, and that heavily influenced the band’s music. The author Lewis Carroll also heavily influenced Barrett’s lyrics.

Watergate is the biggest political scandal in American history. It led to a major setback for the Republican Party, especially as they lost many seats in Congress in the 1974 midterm elections. Watergate dramatically increased cynicism and distrust of the federal government, which had already been on the rise due to its lies revolving around the Vietnam War. #watergate #ushistory #apush

The Cornhusker State and the Hawkeye State
Two bordering Midwestern states in these United States that I am very familiar with. The mighty Missouri River, which is the longest river in North America by the way, is the only thing that separates them.

Washington, D.C.
June 17, 1972
Five men break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Office Building. They tried to set up a wiretap and photograph confidential Democratic Party documents. However, the police caught them in the act and arrested them. Little did most know, these men were connected with the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, or CRP, or CREEP (hee hee), the organization directly tied to President Richard Nixon in order to help him get re-elected.
Flash forward to May 1973, and thanks to multiple ongoing investigations, now more and more Americans are thinking the Nixon administration was directly linked to the Watergate break-in.
The U.S. Senate Watergate Committee began public hearings, and the Nixon administration appointed Archibald Cox to lead a separate, independent investigation. Flash forward again to July 1973, and Americans found out that there is a new system in the White House that automatically records everything in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room. In other words, if Nixon was in on the Watergate break-in or even if he just knew about it and was trying to cover it up, there could be evidence of it in the recordings. Cox, as well as the Senate, immediately subpoenaed the White House recordings, or required that they be submitted to court as evidence. However, Nixon refused to release them, citing his “executive privilege” as the president. He even ordered Cox to drop his subpoena, and after Cox refused, Nixon had him fired. Not a good look there, Nixon.
But the investigations only picked up. In what eventually became known as The Watergate Scandal, a total of 69 people were indicted and 48 people convicted for either participating in, aiding in, or covering up information about the Watergate break-in. MANY of these folks were top Nixon administration officials. By early 1974, it seemed pretty clear that President Nixon had at least known about the Watergate break-in and tried to cover it up. However, there was little solid evidence, and Nixon had still refused to give up the recordings. On March 1, 1974, a grand jury, or special jury selected to see if an accusation was valid or not, indicted SEVEN former aides of Nixon, who later simply became known as the “Watergate Seven.”

American Presidents get hungry, too. In this video, we’re going to look at the favorite food of every President in American history. We’ll go chronological again because I know some of you want to skip ahead to Teddy Roosevelt because of course you do.

#filibuster #ussenate #uspolitics
If it weren’t for the fact that the United States has been so divided over the past 25 years, the filibuster wouldn’t be as big of a deal. The minority party in the Senate has been a LOT louder and more powerful since then. It’s not like the Senate hasn’t passed laws since the 1970s. However, it’s been increasingly difficult for them to pass MEANINGFUL laws ever since.
The reason why it’s so difficult for the U.S. Senate to pass any new law is mostly due to…an accident because the creation of the filibuster was an accident. Only later did the minority political party make arguments that the filibuster was a good idea in order to protect the minority.
Whenever you hear someone argue that the Founding Fathers actually wanted the Senate to have a filibuster, I doubt this person actually knows what the heck they are talking about. In fact, if you go back and read what many of them said and wrote, they warned that making supermajorities a thing would lead to bills never getting passed.
