Judge Gloria Navarro deserves cheers for her decision in Cliven Bunday case

On behalf of Messrs. Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson, et al. a standing ovation for U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro for doing exactly what the Founding Fathers expected of an independent judiciary.

I don’t really care whether the Bundys were guilty or not regarding their grazing fees. At worst, that would be an economic crime not worthy of an armed government assault. As far as their armed standoff, both Hamilton and Madison, through the Federalist Papers, (Nos. 29 and 46) not only approved of the citizenry taking arms against an oppressive government, but they downright encouraged it to the point of pretty much demanding it.

What I care about is that there be a bulwark between the citizenry and the overzealous unconstitutional actions of government agents engaging in “flagrant prosecutorial misconduct.”

Huzzahs to Judge Navarro.

LETTER: The carbon-spewing Biden family

Climate change is an existential threat to mankind, animals and plants. Why doesn’t the Biden family lead the way?

LETTER: The Trump show trial

Remember, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and Sir Thomas More — all innocent men — were also declared to be guilty.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
