Wiston Papers

Is justice blind or is it the people who are watching?

Justice often is symbolized by a woman grasping a sword in one hand, holding a balanced scale in the other--her eyes obscured by a blindfold.  This image of Lady Justice represents the lofty aspiration of judicial impartiality critical to good governance and protection of fundamental democratic rights.  
Good law, supporters claim, comes from justices who are politically independent and rule without “influence from daily life.”   Critics of recent Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decisions, on the other hand, argue that justice is blind not impartial.   
Justice may at times seem blind, but many observers most certainly are.  

The reaction to the high court rulings this week on the Voting Rights Act clearly illustrates this.  And today’s decisions on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in New York and same-sex marriage in California have evoked equally emotional responses from supporters and opponents.

VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965
In Shelby County vs Holder, the high court noted correctly that America has changed dramatically in the nearly 50 years since passage of the Voting Rights Act that struck down the “insidious and pervasive evil” of racial discrimination that prevented African-Americans from casting ballots.  The law was necessary then, but SCOTUS this week ruled it no longer is.  
The original statute applied to all states, but certain regions of America were targeted for extra scrutiny.  These “covered jurisdictions” had imposed special requirements for elections that effectively reduced voter turnout in the 1960s and 70s.
Congress has routinely renewed the Voting Rights Act since passage--most recently in 2006 for another 25 years. But each extension lacked  modifications either to these original covered jurisdictions or the formulas local authorities had adopted to address discrimination.  SCOTUS noted there now is high voter registration and turnout in these regions.  And to retain special scrutiny of these original jurisdictions is--in itself--a form of reverse discrimination against districts where such regress no longer is needed.  Those who expressed outrage at Monday’s ruling obviously either didn’t read that part of the ruling or chose to ignore it.  
The 5-4 decision was the right one.

SAME SEX MARRIAGE
In two separate decisions SCOTUS gave some comfort to same-sex couples and supporters  However, the scope of the rulings is not as broad as portrayed in first news reports.  
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) of 1996 defined marriage as the union of a man and woman.  The law immediately affected millions of same-sex couples who became de facto second-class citizens subject to unequal federal income tax payments as well as Social Security and Medicare benefits.   
The Constitution expressly allows each state to define marriage.  But DOMA, the court says, violates  both the rights of same-sex couples as well as the states where such marriage is legal by imposing obligations on gay couples that do not apply to everyone.
In United States vs. Windsor, a female married couple was living in New York State.  When one woman died, the IRS denied the federal estate income tax exemption for the surviving spouse.  SCOTUS ruled that the IRS action put New York State and federal laws at odds.  
Initial news reports did not make clear the distinction between state vs federal rights when the Supreme Court declared DOMA unconstitutional. The 5-4 decision was the right one.
The California case of Hollingsworth vs. Perry turned on the question of who has standing in deciding legality of same-sex marriage.  It did not speak to marriage itself.
After the State Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional opposite-sex marriage as the only legal union, opponents successfully campaigned for and passed Proposition 8 that says marriage is between a man and woman.  But California state officials refused to enforce Proposition 8 and the issue eventually worked its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Today’s ruling stated that proponents of Proposition 8 lacked legal standing.  That is, supporters of the opposite-sex proposition failed to demonstrate that they themselves will suffer “personal and tangible harm” if the measure is rejected.  The 5-4 decision was the right one based on the narrowly prescribed point of law.

Don’t be misled my headlines that shout:

Despite such headlines the Supreme Court did not rule on same-sex marriage.  That was never the issue either in New York or California.  SCOTUS has been resolute in upholding the right of each state to decide issues of marriage within its borders.  
Did some observers including the media not understand that or did they choose to ignore the truth?
Contrary to reports on the Voting Right Act, the high court correctly observed that the law itself now is discriminatory as applied.  
Did some observers including the media not understand that or did they choose to ignore the truth?

I read every Supreme Court decision.  Yes, it took time.  But it was necessary to get an accurate account of what our nine justices said on each of these important cases.
As a journalist, I’m skeptical of initial reports on breaking news.  I reserve judgment until I’ve verified the information myself.

Wiston Papers


I love to fly.    It's the passengers I can't stand.

“What in the world are you wearing,” stammers Beverly with open jaw as she almost drops her pot of coffee.  “You look like...like...”
“I just flew back from California,” explains John.
“Dressed like that?” Beverly asks in disbelief.
“What?”  John wonders with both arms stretched wide.
“Well, you’re a little...uh...shall we say...casual?”  I suggest warily.
“It’s how everybody flies in America today, dude.  You got to get with the program.”
“You must have gotten a homeless discount to be allowed on a plane in those...clothes,”  Beverly sighs as she takes the coffee back to her station.  
“I didn’t want to look out of place,” John counters.
“Were you on a religious retreat?” I reflect.  “I mean the sandals are...”
“Easy to slip off at security, bro,” John sips his Indonesia Kopi Luak coffee.  “Hm, this has an interesting flavor, Beverly.”
“Just what you deserve world traveler,” Beverly pats John on his shoulder then pours my first cup of Gayo Mountain Wash.
“And those baggy shorts you have on?” I glance suspiciously.
“Don’t have to wear a belt when I go through the metal detector.  But with my weight gain, they tend to slip, and when I had to raise both arms for the full body scan...”  John pauses as he swallows with slight embarrassment.  “...there was a wardrobe malfunction I won’t describe.”
“Please spare us the details...no matter how small,” Beverly comments.  “How’s that Kopi Luak, John?”
“The bouquet is hard to place,” he ponders.
“And that sleeveless tee-shirt?”  I observe.
“I have nothing to hide,” reveals John.  
“Maybe you should rethink that,” Beverly refills our cups.
“Have you seen how some of the women dress...barely,” John notes voyeuristically.  
“Did you pack anything?” I change the subject.
“Oh, I never check my luggage.  Only carry-on for me, man.”  John boasts.  “Hm...this Kopi Luak may need some more cream and sugar.”
“So you travel light,” I affirm.
“Not that light.  It’s a big bag but I always manage to jam it into the overhead compartment...even if it takes several minutes,” John rubs his stomach.
“And all the other passenger who are waiting to find their seats?”  I suggest sarcastically.
“Not a problem. They can wait. They’ll cause their own traffic jam trying to find their row. I swear half of them can’t count anyway.  What does it take to find your seat and plop down, gheez!”
“Maybe there should be an IQ test for passengers,” I smile.
“And a dress code for sure,” Beverly eyes John critically.  “And bald men with pony tails?  It’s definitely ‘What Not to Wear,’” Beverly makes the quotation marks with her hands still holding our pots of coffee.
“But goes with my outfit?” John reaches back to adjust his hair ribbon.    "Speaking of going, I may have to use your bathroom, Beverly.  It think this Kopi Luak may be a little strong.”
“The lavatory is aft,” Beverly uses airline steward gestures to point the way. “Please give me a few minutes of your attention, look at the back of the menu on the table in front of you for instructions and read along as I explain the safety measures of our lavatory.”
“Not funny.  I never listen to those announcements,” John pleads.  "I really need to go...”
“This is a non-smoking cafe,” Beverly continues.  “Smoking is not permitted in the cafe lavatory.  Tampering with the smoke detector is strictly forbidden.”
John struggles to his feet, clutches his baggy shorts, and stumbles toward the bathroom as he loses one sandal.
“Did I mention that we have a strict dress code for anyone who uses the lavatory?  I don’t think your attire matches our requirements,” Beverly lectures.
“Argh...!” moans John.

Wiston Papers





The proposed Federal Shield Law to protect journalists is a dangerous idea.


Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; …


The First Amendment is a 45-word affirmation of our forefathers’ belief in the sanctity of fundamental human rights.  A faith in people as the repository of freedom and effective government.  And those basic rights include the absolute guarantee to worship, speak, publish and protest without fear of recrimination.
So absolute is this guarantee that the Bill of Rights declares in elegant, concise, powerful, unambiguous prose that “Congress shall make no law...”
    The portion of the First Amendment that specifically covers journalists is a mere 78 characters--sufficiently short to tweet yet strong enough to support a republic based on individual liberty.


Despite this 200-plus year bedrock underpinning our nation, some contemporary journalists are willing to risk their freedom and weaken the nation’s foundation. They are mesmerized by a Pied Piper who promises additional protection for the press with the Free Flow of Information Act of 2013--the so-called Federal Shield Law now before Congress.
So seductive is the proposal that some news organizations have succumbed and openly support it.  This tryst is a dangerous liaison and journalists intoxicated by its allure will, I fear, regret their actions when they awake to the sober ramifications of their unwise embrace.


Senate Bill 987 and House Resolution 1962 purportedly erect barriers to prevent federal entities from compelling journalists to reveal protected information. At first blush the proposed legislation appears to befriend the media.  But closer examination reveals the risk to journalists and to society if the measures are adopted.
Section 2, lines 8--25 specify clearly the circumstances under which journalists are not protected by the shield.  The bills use vague language such as “has exhausted all reasonable alternative sources...” and “there are reasonable grounds to believe...” (I have underlined the key words.)
The Federal Shield likewise states that journalists can be forced to reveal protected information when the government “has established that the interest in compelling disclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in gathering and disseminating the information or news at issue...”
Furthermore, if enacted, the proposed legislation permits subpoenas or court orders as long as they “shall, to the extent possible be narrowly tailored in purpose, subject matter and time covered...”


What constitutes “reasonable alternative sources?”  Who decides if there are “reasonable grounds to believe?”  How does one know when the “interest in compelling disclosure clearly outweighs the public interest?”  When are we certain that a subpoena or court order has been “narrowly tailored?”  How is that measured and by whom?


The proposed Federal Shield Law is ambiguous. It delineates by omission the circumstances under which the federal government can compel journalists to divulge their sources.  Lawmakers inevitably will acquiesce to the demands of competing voices in shaping the final measure--many of whom do not have the best interests of the press at heart.  


Journalists are better served by fighting to uphold the absolute freedom of the press they now enjoy as clearly articulated by the First Amendment rather than lobby for legislation that holds more risk than security.  
The genius of our forefathers is evident in the beauty, simplicity and boldness of the Bill of Rights.  Let’s honor their wisdom by upholding the liberties we have  and know.
The proposed Federal Shield Law is unnecessary and potentially dangerous.  Americans of all persuasion should reject it.

We must secure our borders.  Or is it already too late?



The Senate is considering the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Modernization Act--the so-called immigration reform bill.
Assuming passage of the proposal by the upper chamber, the House of Representatives would then take it up.  
Obscured  by the contentious partisan discussions in the Senate and narrow focus of media coverage on unlawful immigrants, is an unseen issue that threatens the very soul of America.
It may be too late for the Democrat-controlled Senate to correct this oversight, but the Republican House still has time to combat this  insidious danger.  To do so, the lower chamber must convene hearings that may look something like this:

HOUSE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN MICHAEL McCAUL OF TEXAS:    “Ladies and gentlemen, we have called this joint meeting of the House Homeland Security Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee, Intelligence Committee, and the Oversight and Government Reform Committees.
“With us today are the respective committee chairman Ed Royce of California, Mike Rogers of Michigan, and Darrell Issa of California.
“The purpose of this hearing is to determine how to keep America’s borders safe from Australian, British and Canadian actors and media executives who have invaded our shores and have displaced Americans performers and media elite.
“We have supboenaed the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Nepolitano to testify and explain why the administration has failed to stem the flow of these foreigners.”

Australians Simon Baker of the “Mentalist,” Poppy Montgomery of “Without A Trace” and “Unforgettable,” Yvonne Strahovski of “Chuck,”  and “Dexter”...

NAPOLITANO:    “Mr. Chairman, thank you for this opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding that actors from abroad have replaced United States performers.”

Canadians Emily VanCamp of “Revenge,” Corey Monteith of “Glee,” Mia Kirshner of “The Vampire Diaries,” Jim Kerry of “The Truman Show,” “Mask”...

NAPOLITANO:    “The fact is, gentlemen, that immigrants from these ABC countries of Australia, Britain and Canada, have taken acting jobs that Americans don’t want.”

Britains Hugh Laurie of “House,” Nicollette Sheridan of “Desperate Housewives,” Matthew Rhys of “Brothers and Sisters,” Joely Richardson of “The Patriot”...

REP. ROYCE:    “But isn’t it true, Madame Secretary, that some of the most popular recent American movies and television shows star Australian, British or Canadian actors?  For example, English actor Daniel Day-Lewis received an Academy Award for playing the part of American President Abraham Lincoln. A Brit masquerading as an American.   Does that seem fair to you?

Daniel Day-Lewis in "Lincoln," Damian Lewis in "Homeland," Alan Cumming, "The Good Wife," Ed Westwick of "Gossip Girl"...

NAPOLITANO:    “With all due respect, Chairman Royce, fairness is not the issue.  President Obama is on record as promoting faster immigration for those persons most qualified to fill the competitive jobs the United States requires to restore our economic preeminence.  The popularity of the motion picture “Lincoln” and the millions of dollars spent by Americans who flocked to the theaters across the nation  to see the film demonstrate dramatically--pardon the pun (chuckles)--the wisdom of this immigration policy.”

Australian Portia de Rossi of “Arrested Development” and “Better off Ted,” John Noble of “Lord of the Rings,” and “Fringe,” Rachel Griffiths of “Six Feet Under,”  and Jesse Spencer of “House” and “Chicago Fire”...

REP. ROGERS:    “Secretary Napolitano, the Obama administration claims to have strengthened security along our border with Mexico by hiring more border patrol agents and extending the length of the wall under construction there.  Meanwhile our northern border is as porous as Swiss cheese and hoards of Canadians are slipping across.”

Canadians Michael J. Fox of “Back to the Future” and “Doc Hollywood,” Pamela Anderson of “Baywatch” and “V.I.P.” Stana Katic of “Castle,” and Martin Short of “Mars Attacks!” and “Saturday Night Live”...

NAPOLITANO:    “The United States and Canada enjoy a long history of harmonious, peaceful co-existence based on a common cultural and historical heritage including our British colonial ties and English language.  The vast majority of Canadian immigrants have entered America legally and have contributed to our nation’s artistic enrichment.  True, Mike Meyers may not be a good example, however...”

REP. ISSA:        “Artistic contributions aside, my concern is the British editorial impact on our news organizations.  With virtually no effort by your agency to control their arrival, scores of Brits have sneaked into our nation and taken control of key executive media jobs.  The fact that millions of Americans receive news, information and opinion shaped by English journalists frankly scares the bejeebers out of me.”

Britains Deborah Turness, president of NBC News, Mark Thompson, chief executive of The New York Times Company, Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, and Tina Brown, editor of Newsweek and The Daily Beast...

NAPOLITANO:    “Although I share your concern, I must stress that it is the responsibility of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to patrol our nation’s shores and borders.  That is not a Homeland Security obligation.
“Nevertheless, my agency is working closely with the Department of Justice to monitor communications between journalists and their sources.  To date we have subpoenaed  the telephone records of the Associated Press and identified at least one reporter for Faux News...uh, rather...Fox News as a co-conspirator and...(SHUFFLING THROUGH HER NOTES)...no, wait these are Susan Rice’s talking points on Benghazi...ah, here we are.  (CLEARS HER THROAT)  “As I was saying...”

“A collegium acutioribus”


OMINOUS MUSIC


FADE IN TO DIMLY LIT ROOM WITH A WIDE-SHOT OF THREE PERSONS STARING UNEASILY AT EACH OTHER.


CLOSE-UP OF A MAN LOOKING AT HIS DESK AND RUBBING HIS CHIN.


CLOSE-UP OF WOMAN WITH BLACK READING GLASSES AND A TWITCH OF HER MOUTH AS HER EYES DART NERVOUSLY FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.  


CLOSE-UP OF SECOND MAN--WITH RECEDING HAIRLINE AND NEATLY TRIMMED BEARD--OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO REMAIN CALM AS HE STARES INTENTLY AT THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK.


CLOSE-UP OF SECOND WOMAN WHO IS COLORFULLY DRESSED WITH LARGE, DANGLING EARRINGS AND A SLIGHT SMILE.


CUT TO MEDIUM SHOT OF MAN BEHIND DESK--UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. OLIVER GETTRICH:


FADE MUSIC UNDER:


GETTRICH:    “We’ve got a serious problem.”


FIRST WOMAN--ARTS AND LETTERS DEAN, DR. IRIS GOODLETTER:    “I agree.  The light and temperature in this room are reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe’s dark romanticism as exemplified by ‘The Cask of Amontillado.’”


SECOND MAN--COMPUTER AND MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMS DEAN, DR. CHANG BAO TECHRIGHT:   “If I may respectfully disagree.  The Wi-Fi connection is the problem.  I can’t get any text messages in this room.” (Fiddling with his cell phone)


SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES DEAN, DR. MARIA GUADALUPE ROSA-GREEN:  “You’re both mistaken.  It’s the physical and psychological constraints of our setting that are not conducive to optimum cognitive tasks.”


GETTRICH:      (Shouting)  “No, no, no, damn it.  It’s money!  That’s why I called you all here.  We’re hemorrhaging money and we’ve got to stem the flow.  There’s too many expenses and not enough cash to fund everything!”


ROSA-GREEN:  (Smiling arrogantly) “Technically you have to stanch a hemorrhage not stem it.”


GOODLETTER:  (Removes her glasses and proclaims seriously) “And the correct grammatical structure should be ‘There ARE too many expenses instead of there IS.  It’s subject-predicate agreement, of course.”


TECHRIGHT:    (Looks up briefly from his cell phone) “Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles would dictate that your assets most likely are best determined by adhering to the Revenue Recognition Principle that...”


GETTRICH    (Interrupting) “I don’t give a rat’s ass about any of that crap.


“ROSA-GREEN:    “Technically rat’s ass should be Rattus Norvegicus Anus, but rectum sometimes is used to...” (Stops in mid-sentence under Gettrich’s withering stare.)


GETTRICH:    “Shut up all of you and listen.  The Board of Regents is threatening to shut us down if we don’t get our financial house in order.  In simple terms, we’ve got to figure out how to teach all of our students with less money.   (Leaning back in his chair).  So talk to me.  Give me your ideas.”


ROSA-GREEN:    “We could maximize efficiency by assigning students with discrete IQs to different classes.”


GETTRICH:    (Taking notes) “Good, good, I like it.”  What else?”


TECHRIGHT:    (Still fiddling with his cell phone) “We could actuate our curricula to program content based on demographic criteria.  That would eliminate unnecessary duplication and ineffective course content across multiple classes ”


GOODLETTER:    (Looking more nervous and mouth twitching more noticeably) “Composition and exposition are individualized activities. And creativity cannot be replaced by technology.”


ROSA-GREEN:     (Leans toward Goodletter and says cattily)  “Oh, come on, Goodletter.  No one believes that bull.  Even a robot could write better than most of our students.”


TECHRIGHT:    (Switching to his iPad) Dean Rosa-Green is quite correct.  There have been significant advances in robotic-generated prose--especially in sports stories.  And now we can even use computers to grade writing.”


GOODLETTER:    (Her face turning red, removes her glasses angrily)  “This is outrageous.  The National Council of Teachers of English last month publicly declared its opposition to robot-evaluation of writing and I agree strongly.”


GETTRICH:    (Waving his hand to quiet everyone)  “We’re getting off track.  I like the idea of separate classes for the smart and dumb kids.  How do we do that?”


ROSA-GREEN:  (Smiles again)  “Well, I prefer differentiated cognitive capabilities, but you can determine  each student’s IQ with a simple visual test.”


GETTRICH:    (Dropping his pen)  “A what...”


GOODLETTER:    (Her nervousness replaced by defiance)  “Really, Rosa-Green, really?  We’re going to judge students by what they read?  You’ve got to be kidding!


TECHRIGHT:    “No, Dean Rosa-Green is right.  There’s evidence that you can measure IQ easily with an eye exam.  And it’s quite predictive of classroom performance.”


GETTRICH:    (Leans back in his chair, looks into the distance and rubs his chin)    “You mean that just by...”


ROSA-GREEN:    “Yes.  Have every student on the first day of classes put on a hat with electrodes, read the course syllabus, and “presto” you know within minutes by how they read how intelligent they are!”


TECHRIGHT:    (Shuts off his iPad and puts on glasses with an eye tap and adjusts his wearable computer)     “That’s exactly the process.  Kids love these electronic gadgets.  Just ask them to wear an eyetap like this one while they read the course outline and it sends the data directly to the university’s computer center for processing.”


GOODLETTER:    (Looking skyward)    “And the next day every student would be assigned to different classrooms based on how well he/she read the syllabus?  That sounds ominously like George Orwell’s “1984.”  President Gettrich, you’re not seriously considering this Big Brother scenario are you?”


GETTRICH:    (Swivelling nervously in his chair)  “Well, we have to cut expenses if we’re going to survive.”


TECHRIGHT:    “This plan does, in fact, save money and improves teaching.”


GOODLETTER: (Dubious but softening)    “How exactly does it improve learning?”


ROSA-GREEN:    “First, the reading IQ test quickly identifies the learning potential of each student and assigns him/her to the appropriate class.”


TECHRIGHT:    “Second, we can eliminate many of our adjunct faculty by delivering virtual lectures using avatars, which our students will love.”


ROSA-GREEN:    “Third, these virtual lectures will be programmed to deliver demographically- and intellectually-targeted material based on the Perceptive Radio technology used by the BBC.”  Each class gets a different lecture.


GETTRICH:    (Perplexed)    “The perceptive what...?”


TECHRIGHT:    “Perceptive Radio.  The BBC has developed software that changes the story plot of a radio program based on who the listeners are and their location.”


GETTRICH:    “You mean...”


ROSA-GREEN:    “Exactly.  Fewer teachers because we’re using avatars and virtual lectures instead of real people.  We don’t have to pay them.”  


TECHRIGHT:    “And we program the avatars to deliver content appropriate for each student’s intellect.  Lower IQ students get the robots.  And we can teach the smart students ourselves.””


GETTRICH:    “Yes, that would save money indeed.”


ROSA-GREEN:    “It get’s even better. We can even begin to make money.”


GETTRICH:    (Leans forward, smiling, toes tapping)  “I’m all ears tell me more.”


ROSA-GREEN:    (Continues triumphantly) “First, the reading IQ test quickly identifies exactly the type of students we want to come to the university.


In fact, you could weed out the cognitively challenged applicants by having potential students read specific content on our website then ask them a few questions based on what they read.  We’d know the intellectual capability of students before they even came to campus.”


GETTRICH:    (Smiling enthusiastically)    “The bright kids get in; the dumb ones don’t.”


GOODLETTER:    “That seems draconian, but interesting.”


TECHRIGHT:    “We can then charge higher tuition because our school will soon become a destination for the academic elite who will boast that they were accepted by our institution.”


GOODLETTER:        “True.  There would be better writers in our classes. That would be a nice change I agree.”


GETTRICH:    (Slaps his knees happily)    “Excellent!  That’s just the ticket.  We’ll do it.”


GOODLETTER:    (Stands up, marches quickly to the door, then turns to face the group)    “President Gettrich you’ll have my resignation within the hour.”


GETTRICH:    (Surprised and disappointed)    “Why?  I sensed that you were beginning to warm to the idea.”   


“GOODLETTER:        “Hell, I love it.  It’s a great plot for my next novel.  And I’ll make millions on the movie rights. But in my story a 12-year-old girl posts an online virtual university, tests IQs, programs the avatars, and puts you clowns out of businesss because she runs the whole operation from her parents' garage. (Puts on dark sunglasses and strikes a celebrity pose).  “Ciao, ciao, baby.”
