Hats on! I like wearing hats. Especially hats with words.
Lots of humans wear t-shirts with words, but t-shirts don't fit me too well.
Hats do.
This hat is my favorite. I think Justice Sotomayor is super cool.
In July of 2024, when the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of granting
Donald J Trump [presidents] effective "immunity", she wrote,
in her dissenting opinion:
"In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."
Sotomayor signed her dissent with the line, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent,"
without even including the customary "respectfully."
Today, sadly, tragically, each and every day, we all live with the results and impact of that ruling.

In a few days however, I will set this, my favorite hat on the shelf.
Though I will not forget Justice Sotomayor and her colleagues who continue to
vote for the rights of all of us. Who continue to stand up, who dissent.
I would also note that we are very proud of the citizens of Washington, DC.
We the people are the ones who serve as jurors, and also those who serve on grand juries.
With the recent takeover of the city by the federal government, arrests (many frivolous and unwarranted),
with excessive charges applied, these cases are overtaxing the court system
as they now come before the courts. It is good to read that
grand juries are refusing to return indictments in many of these cases.
Citizens, doing their civic duty and serving on these grand juries realize and
understand the prosecutorial overreach that is taking place
and will not allow it to happen.
Dissent.

It's time for another hat. Fall is in the air, the calendar is about to turn to a new month.
Pre-season is over. 3-0.
Can you guess? It's purple. I'm getting ready for my "Purple Fridays"!

GO RAVENS!
Cute hats and photos, I the judge's quote. Go Ravens! Take care, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteWe too wear hats on occasion but fun or silly ones! I think you made a mistake, though. Purple Friday is celebrated here in Minnesota too but it means Go Vikings! ;)
ReplyDeleteCool hats. I don't suit hats so I wear the tshirts with words on it. My cats don't like any outfits on though, they don't even have collars! Had to google Ravens. We used to get the American Football over here in the 80s and 90s and I used to watch it with my dad. I was a NY Giants fan. They stopped showing it so I stopped following it and know nothing about it now!
ReplyDeleteyou look good in purple, but then you look good in all things, you can't hide beauty for sure..
ReplyDelete😎 Cool hats, June! Oh yes, good statement by Judge Sotomayor and good for those grand juries.
ReplyDeletePurple is your color!

We love your first hat, June, but that second hat...not so much and you know why. Thanks to your mom for the cool "team photo" she made for me. It just proves that even though we might root for different teams we can always be friends forever.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in both hats, Juney, but especially the purple one!
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "We could definitely use a few more Sotomayors on the bench! And I don't mean a baseball team's bench!"
ReplyDeleteJune HATS R U for certain... what a fashionista you are too. I like you in purple
