Vote "no" for Kavanaugh thread

I read a book summarizing the history of SCOTUS. The Warren & LBJ years are remarkable and appear to represent the pinnacle of our Democracy. LBJ pushed through anti-discrimination laws as the SCOTUS reinforced them. 1/4 LBJ was an ethical man. As a teacher he was stunned witnessing the poverty of black students. LBJ knew he would lose his constituents. He did. A wave of racist Democrats joined the GOP.

Maybe other states have similar protections. Licensed service providers, e.g. physicians, therapists & a slew of professions can't provide services after committing some crimes. A background check is mandatory. I will tweet the 7 pages because it's interesting. Why can felon politicians run for office when they are precluded from so many jobs in Alaska? We are letting dangerous individuals obtain governing offices.

Review of Robert J. Lifton, "Eight Criteria for Thought Reform" From "Thought Reform & the Psychology of Totalism"

Absolutely relevant to our present situation!☝️☝️☝️ 2/
Lifton interviewed American Korean POWs, 15 Chinese who fled their homeland after being subjected to indoctrination. Held interviews up to a year. BTW he pushed the AMA to include PTSD as a diagnosis. He later studied NAZI doctors, victims of Hiroshima, Veterans of Vietnam.

Per Wikipedia: Batista suspended the 1940 Constitution and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike. #TheResistance

Batista aligned with the wealthiest landowners who owned the largest sugar plantations, & presided over a stagnating economy that widened the gap between rich and poor Cubans. Eventually it reached the point where most of the sugar industry was in U.S. hands. #TheResistance /2

All past presidents refused to move the Israeli embassy. Three religions represented in Jeruselum. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. History: During the 6 day war (1967) Jeruselum seized Eastern Jerusalem from Jordan. Less than 1000 Israelis killed, 20,000 Arabs killed./1 Tensions began when Nasser claimed he would close the Straights of Titan to Israeli against the UN agreement. Israeli launched preemptive strikes at Egypt airfields and wiped out the Airforce. Israel seized Eastern Jeruselum and the West Bank from the Jordanians. /2
