June 28, 2007. A very important date in American History
June 28, 2007 a very important date in American History.
Were we all sleeping? I guess so. It just hit me today how important yesterday was in American history. Really. Yesterday was a red letter day.
Two things happened yesterday that have very significant impact on our nation.
First, The Senate failed to pass the immigrant reform bill. Now I will make no judgments on the merits of the bill or if the killing of the bill was right or not, but this bill was a sea change in the way America deals with Illegal immigration. While the bill didn’t pass, it is likely that failure to pass the bill will actually also lead to major changes in how America deals with illegal immigration.
While this first item has a tremendous impact on the Future of America, something else happened yesterday that is just as momentous but it looks backwards at Americas past.
Yesterday the US Supreme Court reversed some 30 years of practice based on the historic Supreme Court decision Brown vs. The Board of Education. The court determined that a school district cannot use race as a determining factor on who gets to attend a certain school. For good or ill, this has effectively ended an Era. Brown vs. Board was an historic ruling that held firm control over American Education for a generation.
And yesterday passed mostly around here in arguments about movies and speculation on the location of KHz’s retirement home. Interesting.

Worth bumping, Ferd!
Now, they need to talk to Ron Paul about his Amendment on illegal immigration. Did you see my thread?
Could be the catalyst for a Democratic President tho...
on the immagration thing, I think the republican can hand this around the dems neck. 85% of Americans opposed that bill and all the major Dems supported it.
the other one is too close to call. However, the noted Juan Williams interviewed Thurgood Marshall on the subject and Juan says the decision was a good one.
