The 3 branches of government are as everyone knows:
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
The Executive Branch Executes the law, the Legislative Branch Legislates (makes)the law and the Judicial Branch Adjudicates (settles)the law.
One primary source of law in this country is the Constitution. Written by white men, it did not apply to people of color.
"We the People of the United States..." did not include black Americans.
Because the primary source of "Law" in this country did not apply to people of color; was created by white men; how did the transition come about?
The law of "grumpy old white men" would apply in perpetuity. The executive branch would be bound to execute, the judicial to adjudicate these laws. Which leaves only the legislative branch to make laws that would include black Americans.
"Grumpy old white men" making laws to be executed by "Grumpy old white men" and then adjudicated by "Grumpy old white men" that will include people of color, and lets not forget women.
See the pattern?
Anyway, it takes "Grumpy old white men" with wisdom to participate in all levels of government, and some would say "empathy".
Lets hope the members of each branch of government will fulfill their responsibilities with sagacity and leadership necessary to live up to the words "We the people...".
But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor. For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus. And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise. (Galatians 3:24-29)
I wonder if he is wearing a seatbelt? I wonder what happens if he were riding a motorcycle?
Does texting while riding a motorcycle count?
I can be pulled over for not wearing a seat belt while driving a vehicle protected by a roof, doors and more, given a ticket and cited to court.
i can then go to court to contest the ticket on my motorcycle that has no seat belt, no doors, no roof....
...but, i guess this makes about as much sense as a law against texting but allowing "gun toters" to visit our parks "packing heat" and into our bars "packing heat".
makes them feel safe i guess, but if you have to "pack heat" to feel safe out in public, why go in the first place?
