ReplyDeleteIf it's true that's lashon hara. If it's not true then that's motzi shem ra. Either way, it's not good to get in the habit of talking about other people negatively.
DeleteWhat is the new Emes L'Yaakov on? There already is one on Sefer Melachim and all of Ksuvim

DeleteThe most important role of the Supreme Court is not to say what Congress or states cannot legislate, but to maintain our system of checks and balances. It must referee between the states and federal government, and between the President and Congress.
ReplyDeleteJustice Jackson wrote the best test of Presidential power in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer “Steel Seizure Case” (1952) when President Truman seized the coal mines without authorization from Congress.
1) When the president acts with the “express or implied authorization of Congress,” the president’s authority is “at its maximum,” and his action is presumptively constitutional.
2) If Congress is silent, then there is a “zone of twilight,” uncertainty. Judges have to decide as the situation demands.
3) If the president defies Congress or his actions are “incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress,” his power “at its lowest ebb,” and it is presumptively unconstitutional.
The new free lunch bill may be better in a way for some schools - the Cheder was going to loose free lunches for everyone based on the fact that a large percentage of the school was over the limit - now(the way it sounds it is going to be immediate) with the new bill it may make them eligible again for this coming year?The other bill which was going to give free lunches to all was going to faze in over a 5 year or so period - making many in the cheder etc. not eligible for the first couple of years.
