Ironic. After our 3rd child was born, we decided that it would be better to stop daycare due to cost (mostly), and have my wife stay home with the kids. Not everyone can afford that... Luckily, @Box1 can tell us how we "have no idea or understanding on how anything works".

Wrong!!
Location doesn’t matter. 
Take Mid and South County for example. In the last 5 years, PA has averaged 14.5 murders per 100,000 people. The 3 Mid-County cities with almost the same population as PA (56k-pa  v. 50k-mc) has 2.5 murders per 100,000 people. Adjusted for the slight population difference, it is 2.75.
So cities literally across the street from PA have  the same murder rate of about 3 per 100k people in MC to about 15 in PA.

THREE, yes THREE murders on a Tuesday night.......in Beaumont.
Keep saying it happens everywhere.......it doesn't 

Here is my cent and a half.....
I can only speak for me, but the wife and I both work. We used a daycare before he was in school and a couple hours in the afternoons when he was in school, until he was old enough to stay at home.  We hated summers because daycare went up because he was there more. I often thought if I had 3 kids, it would be cheaper for the wife to quit her job......Adding 52 (rounding up) full days to an already expensive bill could be devastating for some people.  Personally I like the 5 day school week, it mirrors most jobs they may get when they become adults. 

I can only say this. The 4 day school week for 2 working parent families is a tough thing to sort out.

I thought it would take about 3 days to move forward. It took 1.

Yup......a few hours later and now they can't enforce.
 

This thread has obviously run its course. It was about passing an immigration law but has skewed off into attacks and comments that have nothing to do with the topic. 

In your opinion. Obviously not to others,
But just a reminder, forum rule #4:
4) Keep it civil! You can make your point much more attractive to others by remaining calm and intelligent. You will be banned for flaming or attacking another member!! We will not tolerate abuse upon another member.

I'm not sure if you have kids (Honestly I hope not with your response), but I do and I thank God he is still with me. I have two good friends, one lost her first born Son(to a work accident) and the other to a drug overdose. The pain that causes does not go away....EVER.  That pain is so severe, if you have kids or don't, you can't even attempt to understand their pain. They are reminded several times a year (every holiday, birthday and special event) for the rest of their life they lost their kid.  So, if that guy Republican or Democrat got in to yell at the President over the death of his Son, I support that 150%.....and you should too. Life is short, and you never know if your kid might lose their life and you have that same pain. 
Everything is not politics, and those lives and deaths are real.

Maybe we can get Cardinal Backer to vote for Trump.  Even if he has to hold his nose.  
 
@CardinalBacker

Then you are essentially voting for Biden.....that is simple math

If I was voting for a spiritual leader then none of them would get my vote.
From JFK’s well known flings to Clinton's Oval Office affair that he was compelled to address on national television, to one time front runner to be the president in Democrat Gary Hart and so on, the Republicans hardly have a monopoly on infidelity. Trump’s accusation as far as I know happened well before he became president however the two Democratic presidents that I mentioned happened in their term and in the White House.
I think I will look elsewhere for moral guidance other than the Democratic Party…. 🤣🤣🤣

You are probably correct… there are millions of Canadians pouring across the border in caravans but for some reason have gone unnoticed.
I hear that Detroit and Seattle now have a huge homeless population because of all the White Canadians streaming into this country.

I really don’t think Johnson represents your party

I learned long ago you have to bring your facts if you want to debate TVC.  Cardinalbacker (who I believe once stated he was not going to post in this section of the forum anymore) has not learned this valuable lesson. 

Wow, TVC, it appears you haven't lost your edge after all. 🙂
 

Is the failure (as noted by BS Wildcats) the person who has the constitutional right to complain or the legal body that issues a ruling that clearly is unconstitutional?

In this case we have a 91 year old former Republican lawmaker who was butt hurt over January 6 and made the sole determination that it was unconstitutional for Trump to be on the ballot. Like you, she was likely blinded by her anyone but Trump hatred but that is a protected right.
This supposedly famed Colorado (first woman state leader) Republican in the article that you posted said that the Founding Fathers contemplated a candidate like Trump. She knew he was ineligible to run again. (quoted from the article)  “She knew!!!”
The Founding Fathers?? 
This doddering old fool has apparently lost enough of her marbles that she forgot that the Fourteenth Amendment came out after the Civil War as a response to civil rights for Blacks almost 100 years after independence was declared and the Founding Fathers have long since left the Earth. With this brilliant insight into the Constitution and history, she solely made the determination that Trump was ineligible. Utterly brilliant!!
Of course she still has enough beans rattling around in her brain to know that her absolute knowledge of the Constitution had to be upheld by the Colorado Supreme Court.
So who is the on the Colorado Supreme Court and how are they selected? 
A Colorado Supreme Court justice is selected by the governor of Colorado. So the only way to be appointed as a Colorado Supreme Court justice, the sitting governor has to make the appointment. They each later face a 10 year term for reelection by the public in a general election. 
All current Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats. Some? A majority perhaps? Nope, the entire Colorado Supreme Court was appointed by a Democrat governor. 
So again, who owns the failure? A person who complains like this old biddy that deemed herself as a constitutional scholar and out to (again from the article) save the Democracy or the duly constituted body who by law is supposed to make decision based on the US Constitution?
Sorry but this falls squarely on the constitutional body who was selected by the Democratic governors. A body who a unanimous US Supreme Court slapped down because they collectively couldn’t understand this section from the Fourteenth Amendment:
Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Again, it doesn’t say a state legislature, a state Supreme Court, a state attorney general, an old woman who thinks that the Founding Fathers were still around after the Civil War or anyone else other than Congress.
BS Wildcats was 100% correct. It wasn’t an old Republican lawmaker who has the First Amendment constitutional right to free speech and also the First Amendment right to redress the government for grievances. It was the 100% Democratic Supreme Court of Colorado who could not understand a single sentence and in particular a single word, “Congress”. 

There was one article that I saw on another forum that said, Ketanji Brown Jackson sides with Trump.
No, she sided with the Constitution.
If anyone wants some entertainment, look at some of the news articles or videos of the left coming unhinged that the Supreme Court didn’t rule against the Constitution and then did so in unanimous fashion. 

This was the only result that was ever going to happen  Insane that the states tried to do this.  

I know it’s not his money but it makes you wonder why someone is spending about $10 million for a job that pays about $22,000 a year. 

You're one angry guy......
