Senate Passes Resolution Opposing Change To Number Of Supreme Court Justices

Washington is currently facing controversy over whether the number of Supreme Court justices can and should be changed. Many of those opposed to the change refer to it as “Packing the Court.”

The resolution’s author—Sen. James Buck, R-Kokomo—said the Supreme Court is not a political body under the law.

“We hope and pray that we in some way can encourage the perception that indeed it is not a political body because the law is the law. And we can either be an activist or we can be a constructionist. And there’s a big difference,” Buck said.

Buck’s resolution takes a constructionist, or strict construction, approach because it calls for interpreting the law only as it is written. An activist approach would allow various interpretations. He has previously used former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who was also opposed to changing the number of justices before her death in 2020, to support his claim.

“We are the ones that make the law, not the court,” Buck said.

Sen. Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, spoke against the resolution. He said he doesn’t want the nation to be locked into a set number of justices, especially if legislators can’t agree on the number.

“I don’t know exactly what the right number is, but I’d rather there be some flexibility for Congress to make that determination,” Lanane said.

Some, like Lanane, think that changes to the court should be analyzed. He said the number of justices may need to change in the future in accordance with population changes. He also said that term limits for the office should be considered. Nonetheless, he agreed with Buck that the Supreme Court has become too political.

Senate minority leader Greg Taylor, D-Indianapolis, also denounced the resolution and called the body to strike it down.

In the first 80 years of the Supreme Court, the number of justices changed seven times, with the count fluctuating between five and 10. In 1869, the court settled on nine justices, and the number has remained untouched since.

This isn’t the first time that the number of justices has been a partisan issue. That started with the Federalists in the early 1800s. Nor is this the first time there have been allegations of court-packing. In 1937, former President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed changing the number to 15, and much debate ensued.

The Senate resolution passed along party lines, 37-10. Jerry Torr, R-Carmel, is the resolution’s House sponsor as it moves to the other chamber.

Otters Seeking Host Families For 2022 Season

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters are seeking local individuals and households interested in applying for the host family program and hosting an Otters player for the 2022 season.

When players decide to continue their baseball career in independent baseball, many travel from across the country to play in the Frontier League. This means that they are hours away from friends and family members. For this reason, when they arrive in Evansville, they look for a touch of home to make them feel welcome. One way the community “adopts” the players is by serving as host families during the season. Families provide housing, as well as a support system, for the player(s) they host.

“Host families help drive the success of the Evansville Otters organization, providing room and board for the players and allowing them to focus on their baseball careers,” Otters Director of Marketing and Community Relations Brittany Skinner said.

Players need their own bedroom, but multiple players can share a bedroom. Some families house one player, and others house multiple players for the season.

The Evansville Otters are asking families to take players for both the season and for the two-week Spring Training period, April 27 through May 12.

“Spring Training is a great opportunity to see if the host family program is the right fit for your family, while also helping the team during a short period of time,” Skinner added.

The regular season starts May 13 and ends September 4. In the case of potential postseason play for the Evansville Otters, host families will be needed through mid-September.

Host families and players are asked to complete a questionnaire before they are matched, and this enables the organization to match a player with the appropriate family.

Once an application is reviewed, an interview is set to verify a new family is a good fit for the program.

The Otters do everything they can to ensure a suitable match is made for both the player and family.

Participants in the host family program receive benefits as an expression of gratitude on behalf of the Evansville Otters for their support.

For more information about the host family program, visit evansvilleotters.com/host-families, or contact Brittany Skinner at (812) 435-8686 or via email at hostfamilies@evansvilleotters.com.

Six Lady Trailblazers score in double-figures as VU picks up Region 24 win

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Lady Trailblazers had their offense running in full swing Monday night when VU hosted the Blue Angels of Kaskaskia College.

Sophomores Macy Michels (Teutopolis, Ill.) and Laila Grant (Derwood, Md.), along with freshmen Trinitee Harris (Elkhart, Ind.), Day’Lynn Thornton (Lafayette, Ind.), Cherrelle Newsom (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Chanice Willis (Champaign, Ill.) all scored in double-figures as the Lady Trailblazers came away with the 101-70 win over Kaskaskia.

The first quarter was a back-and-forth battle early, with both sides hitting shots early.

Vincennes used an 11-2 scoring run to close out the first quarter and a Cherrelle Newsom three at the buzzer to take a 10-point lead after the first 10 minutes of play.

Day’Lynn Thornton got the scoring going early for VU, scoring the first seven points for the Lady Trailblazers.

Laila Grant would come through and help close out the first quarter, ending up with 13 points in the opening period.

VU continued to use this momentum in the second quarter, continuing to grow their lead to 15 points before halftime as the Lady Blazers held a 49-34 lead at the break.

Kaskaskia continued to fight in the second half, as the two teams traded scoring runs before Vincennes managed to get their lead back to 15 points heading into the fourth.

The fourth quarter is where Vincennes took their offensive game to another level, using an 11-0 scoring run to grow their largest lead of the day at 33 points.

Kaskaskia would score late to cut the deficit back to the eventual 31 point margin, as Vincennes closed out the 101-70 Region 24 win and snapping VU’s three-game losing streak.

“I thought we did a pretty good job defensively,” VU Hall of Fame Head Coach Harry Meeks said. “We still have to do a better job of guarding the post, Jaya Hedgepeth had a really great game for Kaskaskia and really showed one of our deficiencies tonight.”

“I thought we moved the ball relatively quickly and easily,” Meeks added. “We spread the scoring out well with six people scoring in double-digits. I’m just pleased with the way we played. We played with a little more heart and we played with more excitement tonight. The losing streak was starting to ware on me and I think they got that in their heads as well. We worked really hard yesterday coming off the Rend Lake game Saturday and our girls deserved to win this game.”

Vincennes was led offensively by Trinitee Harris who came off the bench to score as season-high 23 points on 10 shots, while also dishing out five assists.

Laila Grant finished her night with 17 points, six rebounds and four assists.

Day’Lynn Thornton ended the game with 16 points and four rebounds.

Cherrelle Newsom came away with 15 points, including four three-point makes and a pair of assists.

Macy Michels earned her fourth double-double of the season with 10 points and a season-high 16 rebounds.

Chanice Willis came off the bench to score 10 points and lead the Lady Blazers with six assists and three steals while also grabbing four rebounds.

Aces and Ramblers tangle in midweek contest

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With a rare January off weekend complete, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team returns to the Ford Center on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. game against Loyola.  The MVC TV Network, ESPN+ and the Purple Aces Radio Network will have the coverage.

Season Update

– The MVC recently announced make-up dates for games that have been postponed

– On Jan. 21, UE travels to Illinois State for a 6 p.m. game before ISU returns the trip two days later in a 1 p.m. game at the Ford Center

– Evansville will play Indiana State in Terre Haute on Feb. 8 before the Sycamores come to Evansville on the 10th

– The Purple Aces played 12 games over the course of 30 days to open the year, but went 25 days in between the 12/8 game at SEMO and the 1/2 contest at UNI

 

Last Time Out

– An extended second-half run lifted Bradley to a 79-47 win over the Purple Aces on Wednesday night in Peoria

– Trailing by 12 at the half, Evansville made it a 38-31 game in the opening minutes of the second period before the Braves were able to regroup and pull away

– Jawaun Newton and Shamar Givance led UE with 16 points apiece…Newton added eight rebounds while Givance picked up two assists

– Preston Phillips set career highs in rebounds (9) and minutes (30:32)

 

Still Going Strong

– Shamar Givance scored 16 points at Bradley to improve his season average to 14.7 points per game, which ranks 8th in the MVC

– Givance is alone in 6th in the league with his mark of 3.7 assists per game while tying for 6th in steals (1.4/game)

– He continues to score at the top rate of his career, recording an average of 18.3 points over the last seven contests, including his career high of 31 against SIU…since opening with seven points against Cincinnati in the season opener, he has averaged 15.4 points while scoring at least 11 in all but two games since

 

Making a Contribution

– Freshman Preston Phillips has started the last two games and a total of four contests on the season

– He is coming off of a strong performance at Bradley that saw him set his freshman marks in rebounds (9) and minutes played (30:32)

– Phillips has been credited with 2+ rebounds in each game that he has played in and is averaging 3.8 per game for the year

– His top scoring mark came at SEMO where he finished with 5 points while registering 5 boards

– Averaging 17.5 minutes per game, Phillips has played at least 15 minutes in four consecutive outings

 

Clamping Down

– Through six homes games, the UE defense has shined, allowing the opposition to score an average of just 56.33 points per game…just one opponent has scored over 60 points at the Ford Center this season with UCF finishing with 75 on Nov. 20

– In nine road/neutral site games, the opposition has averaged 74.8 PPG

 

Scouting the Opponent

– Winners of nine games in a row, Loyola enters Tuesday’s game with a 13-2 overall mark while standing at a perfect 4-0 in the Valley

– Two of the Ramblers last three games have gone to overtime with home contests versus Bradley and Valparaiso going to an extra period with Loyola winning on both occasions

– Lucas Williamson leads the Ramblers with 12.3 points per game and an average of 5.1 rebounds

– He is tied for the team lead with 32 3-pointers while pacing the squad with 20 steals

– Coming off the bench, Ryan Schwieger has recorded 11.4 PPG while shooting 48.8%
