Student Activities Lecture Series: Brian Cashman
Posted on September 13, 2014 by Jonathan Reyes

*** begin quote ***

To kick-off the third annual lecture series, Manhattan College’s Student Activities led off with an impressive heavy hitter. The lecturer happened to be a little known person who just so happens to be one of the most powerful men in New York sports: New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

CHOICE, NOT CHANCE
Part two of my four-part interview with Bill Rieser

*** begin quote ***

What was the college recruiting process like for you?

Recruiting started as soon as I transferred from St. Agnes to Ben Franklin.

Brian Mahoney, the assistant coach at St. John’s University came to most of my games and let me know that coach Louie Carnesecca wanted me to play for St. John’s.

*** and ***

After returning home I told coach Mahoney, who was taking the Manhattan head coaching job, that I would transfer. The coaches from Centenary found out and flew up to New York to persuade me to come back to Louisiana.

Senate’s unfinished business: Fill judicial vacancies
By Raymond M. Lodato

*** begin quote ***

The Senate has one week until it adjourns for its pre-election recess. While several bills are making their way through the upper house, the arena in which it can have the most impact is in confirming President Obama’s judicial nominees. So far this year, the upper house has filled 68 vacancies on the Federal bench, more than in all of 2013. However, even with the increased pace, 60 vacancies remain on Federal district and appellate benches.

Each vacancy in the Federal courts increases the burden on active and senior judges (who work a reduced number of cases in semi-retirement) and delays the administration of justice for individuals, businesses, and non-profit groups seeking resolution of their claims. Nearly two dozen of the vacancies have been classified as “judicial emergencies” because of the length of time they have been unfilled and the number of cases in their jurisdictions.

*** and ***

If the Senate confirms these 25 nominees by December (a best-case scenario, to be sure), it has an opportunity to significantly reduce the number of Federal courts saddled with an insufficient number of judges to handle heavy caseloads. Should the Senate end 2014 with less than 50 vacancies, it will be the lowest total of the Obama presidency, ensuring that more Americans have access to timely consideration of their cases in Federal courts.

Lodato, Ph.D., is a Lecturer at the University of Chicago.

*** end quote ***

[JR: “We, The Sheeple” screwed up when we passed the 17th Amendment for the direct election of Senators. The State Legislatures would have never stood for this non-sense. The House was for the rabble. The Senate was for the States. Argh! Dead Old White Guys must be rolling over. “Justice delayed is justice denied”? Thanks for the fodder. Hope everyone hits it and runs up "your score”.]

ENDNOTE: Separation of "education" and state

The Libertarian Case Against Public Schools
By Laurence M. Vance
September 9, 2014

*** begin quote ***

Conservatives and libertarians have a precarious relationship. On the surface, they appear to agree on some issues, but once you dig a little deeper, vast philosophical differences quickly become evident.

*** and ***

If there are to be any public schools; that is, government schools, they should be limited to state-government schools, fully supported and supervised by state governments. This is because while every state has provisions in its constitution for the operation of K-12 schools, colleges, and universities, the federal government has been given no such authority by its Constitution.

This means that the federal government should not be involved in any way, shape, or form with the education of anyone. No Pell Grants, student loans, federal regulations, research grants, Elementary and Secondary Education Act, teacher-education requirements, Department of Education, teacher-certification standards, school accreditation, Title IX mandates, educational vouchers, No Child Left Behind Act, school breakfast or lunch programs, Head Start funding, bilingual-education mandates, busing to achieve racial desegregation, Education for All Handicapped Children Act, diversity mandates, Common Core, presidential visits to schools, standardized-testing requirements, special-education mandates, math and science initiatives, Race to the Top funds, or Higher Education Act.

Since conservatives regularly support most of these things, there is a world of difference between their criticisms of public schools and the consistent and principled criticisms offered by libertarians.

*** end quote ***

Gooferment Skrules, as “free”, have pushed out “Catholic Schools” from the marketplace.

As a little L libertarian, I don’t think we want the Gooferment propagandizing future voters.

Over and above the fact that the Prussian school model was designed to create: (1) cannon fodder; (2) good factory workers; and (3) a “lead-able” population of “voters”. IMHO it’s suceeded beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.

Gooferment Skrules are inherently anti-Catholic. Or, anti-religious, since they teach worship of the Gooferment. All under the guise of being non-denominational.

It’s a long battle to get back “religious freedom”, but the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

Taxes are stolen from “Catholics” to pay for these Gooferment Skrules and, “Catholics” want their children to receive a “Catholic Education” they have to pay for that as well. And, they have to pay for it in after-tax money at that. A triple whammy.

I would hope that this little “endnote” would help roll the snowball of Gooferment Skrules back up the hill.

Argh!
