AG Curtis Hill Assails Effort To Overturn Entire Slate Of Indiana Abortion Laws 

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill this week filed a brief in U.S. district court refuting arguments by Whole Woman’s Health Alliance that 25 sections and sub-sections of Indiana law dealing with abortion are unconstitutional.

“Indiana’s abortion regulations are carefully designed to further our important and legitimate interests in expressing respect for fetal life and promoting women’s health,” Attorney General Hill said. “At the same time, our laws respect the woman’s ultimate decision whether or not to bear a child. The federal district court should protect the delicate balance fashioned by the Supreme Court’s abortion precedents.”

Late last year, Whole Woman’s Health argued in a court filing that the entirety of Indiana’s abortion legislation imposes an undue burden on a woman’s right to choose whether or not to bear a child. At the heart of the abortion provider’s argument, Attorney General Hill said, is a gross misinterpretation of the U.S. Supreme Court case Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt.

Whole Woman’s Health’s latest claim, he said, “represents an attempt by an abortion provider to exploit the Supreme Court’s decision as a weapon to strike down entire state regulatory regimes, even if those laws have been enforced and upheld for years.”

The abortion provider’s expansive claims show disregard for existing case law, he added.

“Indeed, Whole Woman’s Health’s approach cuts to the very heart of the Supreme Court’s abortion jurisprudence,” Attorney General Hill said. “It assumes no abortion dispute can ever be truly settled, claiming that no matter how many times an abortion regulation is upheld, it can always be challenged again — at trial — on the grounds that changed circumstances have made the previously valid law unconstitutional.”

Whole Woman’s Health’s contention that Indiana law creates undue burdens on the right to an abortion is based on unfounded speculation rather than the actual effects of Indiana’s regulations, Attorney General Hill said. Whole Woman’s Health, he noted, has even conceded that it failed to show that Indiana’s laws have prevented Hoosier women from accessing abortion.

“If accepted, these arguments would throw abortion jurisprudence into chaos,” Attorney General Hill said.

Commentary: Trump’s ‘imminent Threats’ At Home And Abroad

0

TheStatehouseFile.com 

INDIANAPOLIS – Maybe impeachment was the “imminent threat” that prompted President Donald Trump to order a drone strike that killed one of Iran’s top generals.

Or maybe it wasn’t.

It’s hard to know because the communication from the president and his team about the rationale for the deadly attack has been so chaotic, confused and amateurish.

After spending nearly three years belittling and calling into question the quality of U.S. intelligence gathering, the president and his people now say we should trust the same intelligence-gathering forces that he has encouraged us to despise. He’s made hyperbolic threats to destroy Iranian cultural sites – which would be a war crime – as his advisors almost immediately walk by or deny that the threats have been made. He’s issued almost apocalyptic warnings to Iran in the evening, then all but cooed conciliation the following morning.

There’s no need for anyone to debate Donald Trump on his Iran policy.

He’s having a good argument all on his own.

While watching him flail might be amusing in other circumstances, it isn’t when people are likely to die if Iran and other nations in the Middle East misread our messages or our intentions.

Nor is the president’s incoherence likely to reassure anyone who isn’t already part of his amen corner.

The issue isn’t an ideology. It’s competence.

One of the keys to convincing people that you know what you’re doing is to sound like you know what you’re doing.

The president sounds like he’s making it up as he goes along.

It’s possible that he is.

The articles of impeachment passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and held now by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, are like a bucket of glue stuck to Trump’s shoe. It doesn’t stop him from moving, but, try as he might, he can’t shake loose.

He could continue to limp along, but the longer the glue stays stuck to his foot the more it’s likely to cost him.

The impeachment fight never has been about removing Trump from office. Not really.

Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, and other Democratic congressional leaders are skilled enough at vote counting to know that they never were going to round up the 67 votes in the U.S. Senate they’d need to pry Trump from the Oval Office.

So, then, why the battling over allowing testimony in the trial in the Senate?

Because the impeachment proceedings create difficult – and maybe even impossible – political problems for a handful of Republican senators who are up for re-election this November.

Cory Gardner in Colorado, Susan Collins in Maine, Martha McSally in Arizona and perhaps Thom Tillis in North Carolina all have public approval numbers that range from endangered to threatened.

Standing with the president and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, to stonewall the impeachment inquiry keeps Trump supporters in the embattled senators’ camps – and likely prevents them from having to contend with any primary challenges.

But it also risks alienating the independents and moderate Republicans – especially those in suburbs – who have been abandoning the GOP by the millions during the Trump presidency.

By refusing to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate without a deal on testimony, Pelosi forces those vulnerable senators to dangle longer and longer and choose which form of possible political suicide they would prefer.

The pressure will increase.

The announcement by former National Security Advisor John Bolton that he now wants to tell his story raises the stakes still higher.

Now, the president and his Republican Senate allies have a tough choice. Do they let Bolton tell his story now and deal with it? Or do they wait until the fall, when Bolton’s tell-all book is set to be published? Poison now or poison later?

For the moment, the president and his team seem determined to do whatever gets them through the next 10 minutes.

But improvisation, by definition, isn’t a foreign policy, a military strategy or even a campaign plan.

It’s a series of acts of desperation, all designed to meet a variety of imminent threats, both foreign and domestic, some of them even self-inflicted.

USI To Honor Military Veterans With Series Of Events

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s Veteran, Military and Family Resource Center will honor veterans with a series of events January 22-29.

A nationally touring photo-display honoring Indiana military who have died from wounds suffered in a war zone since September 11, 2001 is coming to Evansville.

The University will host the “Remembering Our Fallen” war memorial from January 22-29 in the Screaming Eagles Arena, first floor concourse. The memorial will be open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily until January 29th when the exhibit will be open 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. in order to move to the next site.

“Remembering Our Fallen” (Indiana) visits the hometowns of the Fallen as well as other communities around the state.

A public opening ceremony open will be held at 10 a.m. on January 24th at the Screaming Eagles Arena and will include the dedication of the POW/MIA Chair of Honor memorial which will remain a permanent fixture for all to view year round.

“We are very honored to host the newest memorial to our veterans and to dedicate a memorial that will stand as a reminder that there are still service members who have yet to return home,” said Joel Matherly, assistant director of the USI’s Veteran, Military and Family Resource Center.

“Remembering Our Fallen” was established in November 2010. It was built to honor the memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, to provide comfort to friends and family of the fallen and to remind others of the tremendous cost paid by some.

In addition to the memorial, USI will host its seventh annual Hoops for Troops Military Appreciation game Saturday, January 25 to honor members of the United States Armed Forces when the Screaming Eagles host Quincy University for a Great Lakes Valley Conference men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader. Game time for the women’s game is 1 p.m., while the men’s contest is slated for 3:15 p.m.

Veterans, military personnel and their guests will receive up to five free tickets per veteran to the games with their military identification or proof of service at the front of the Screaming Eagles Arena ticket window. This event is sponsored by the American Legion Post 324 and the USI Student Veteran Association.

FAST RADIO BURSTS  By Jim Redwine

FAST RADIO BURSTS

Gavel Gamut By Jim Redwine

Associate Professor Jean-Pierre Macquart of Curtin University in Bentley (Perth), Australia is the principal investigator of the CRAFT project that studies Fast Radio Bursts from throughout the universe. These phenomena became a subject of intense interest in 2007. The cause of these FRBs is still being researched but in June 2019 the source was determined to be a galaxy 3.4 billion light-years from our own Milky Way Galaxy, practically next door.

The theories of the origins of FRB’s are many. However, my favorite guess is that they originate from a highly advanced civilization that is reaching out for contact with other similarly positioned beings. Of course, I still hold out some hope Santa Claus will bring me a pony.

Regardless, if there are intelligent creatures sending out probes it may be because they have been monitoring Earth’s progress for years and are wondering how we are currently doing. If these beings, I’ll just call them Busters for convenience, have been observing us for the last 200,000 years or so they were probably pretty bored until around 5,000 years ago when the “ancient” Chinese, Egyptians, Assyrians and Babylonians came up with writing and pyramids. The Busters may have followed the careers of Imhotep or Cheops as mankind leapt from hunter/gatherers to farming and architecture. Today the descendants of these great civilizations may get less interest from the Busters, especially as the societies began to engage in efforts to control their neighbors with clubs.

As humans migrated from Africa to the Mediterranean area our curious observers may have followed the writings of Socrates and the Greek culture until the Roman’s discovered the short sword. And while we do not know the length of the year the Busters live with, they probably have figured out ours and our time lines. Therefore, the Busters may have followed the rise and fall of Rome including the decline from such as Justinian to the likes of Mussolini. The Earth at war from 1914 to 2020 may have caused the Busters pause.

One curious aspect of the Fast Radio Bursts is how they were discovered by humans about 2007 and their volume has waxed and waned over the next 13 years. It is as if the Busters may be concerned or confused about recent events. Perhaps they are perplexed by our world’s own fast radio television bursts as current events may appear from outer space to be pure chaos.

For example, I can imagine a cable news Buster asking, “Where did Socrates go and what the devil is a Hannity?”

Eagles overcome slow start, large deficits to defeat Greyhounds

0

Senior guard Ashley Johnson and junior guard Emma DeHart combined for 39 points as University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball erased a pair of double-digit deficits to defeat host University of Indianapolis, 75-64, in a Great Lakes Valley Conference bout Thursday evening at Nicoson Hall.

USI (7-3, 3-1 GLVC), which missed its first seven shots and trailed 9-0 out of the gates, erased deficits of 23-13 and 43-32 to earn its second straight win.

Trailing 23-13 midway through the second period, the Screaming Eagles got a pair of three-pointers from DeHart in an 8-0 run that got USI to within a bucket with four minutes to play in the opening half. UIndy led 30-23 late in the half, but a Johnson three-pointer in the closing seconds sent USI to the locker room trailing by just four points.

USI carried that momentum into the third quarter as it tied the game at 30 less than 30 seconds into the second half. The Greyhounds, however, scored the next seven points and 13 of the next 15 to build a commanding 43-32 lead with just under six minutes to play in the frame.

Johnson, though, hit a three-pointer to breathe some life back into USI’s offense; then senior guard Morgan Sherwood connected from downtown despite being fouled. She went to the free throw line to complete the rare four-point play, getting the Eagles to within four points

UIndy wrapped a pair of baskets around a DeHart trifecta, but another Johnson three-pointer followed by a DeHart layup brought USI into a 47-47 tie with less than three minutes to play in the third quarter.

USI briefly lost momentum as the Greyhounds scored four quick points to take a 51-47 lead, but an 8-0 USI run to end the third period, including the go-ahead basket by freshman forward Hannah Haithcock, sent the Eagles into the final quarter with a 55-51 lead.

Sherwood gave USI a six-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but UIndy was able to retake the lead with an 8-1 rally. Sherwood hit a three-pointer to answer the Greyhounds run, but a UIndy three-pointer by senior guard Laura Thomas sent the Eagles into the final media timeout trailing 62-61.

USI, however, owned the final four-plus minutes of the contest as DeHart’s free throw tied the game at 62-62 before a Johnson basket gave USI a 64-62 lead with 3:24 to play. Haithcock’s three-pointer with the 30-second clock winding down put USI up 67-62 with just over two minutes to play; while Johnson’s basket with 1:41 to play quickly answered UIndy’s only offensive score in the last four minutes of the contest.

The Eagles made 6-of-8 free throws in the final minute of the contest to seal the win.

Johnson led all scorers with 20 points, six rebounds, eight assists and five steals, while DeHart matched her career-high with 19 points, five rebounds and three steals. The Eagles also got 13 points from Sherwood, nine points from Haithcock and a career-high four blocks from sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown.

Thomas had 15 points to lead the Greyhounds, while McKenzy Telfair had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

USI returns to action Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when it takes on arch-rival Bellarmine University at Screaming Eagles Arena. The Knights (6-4, 1-2 GLVC) were in action against McKendree University Thursday evening in Lebanon, Illinois.

Evansville back on the road at Loyola on Saturday

Aces face Ramblers in Chicago

 The annual trip to Chicago takes place on Saturday when the University of Evansville men’s basketball team faces Loyola at 3 p.m. at Gentile Arena.  The game will be carried on ESPN+ and the Purple Aces Radio Network.

 Setting the Scene

– Last season, Evansville earned one of its biggest wins of the season, defeating Loyola by a final of 67-48 at the Ford Center on January 8

– The Aces have lost their first three MVC games for the first time in two years and hope to avoid an 0-4 start in the Valley for the first time since 2009-10

Last Time Out

– Bradley jumped out to a 9-0 lead and never looked back, defeating the Purple Aces by a final of 72-52 on Wednesday at the Ford Center

– The Braves led by as many as 25 points in the second half before UE made a run and cut the gap to 13

– Evansville shot 33.3% on the night and was 5-of-20 from long range

– K.J. Riley hit 8 of his 10 free throw tries while finishing with a team-best 12 points

– Freshman Marcus Henderson set his career mark with nine points while John Hall also added nine

– With 30 minutes of floor time, sophomore Shamar Givance set his career mark in that statistic

 Career Game   

– Freshman Marcus Henderson had his best college game on Wednesday when the Aces faced Bradley

– Henderson recorded nine points while hitting three shots and his first two free throws

– Entering the game, his high of six points came twice

Doing what he does best

– Senior K.J. Riley continues to rank near the top of the NCAA in free throw makes (87) and attempts (107)

– His 87 makes is 7th in the nation while his 107 attempts is 9th

– Riley has drawn 6.9 fouls per game, ranking 20th in the NCAA

Positive Ratio

– Through 16 games this season, Evansville has finished with a positive assist-to-turnover ratio six times, winning five of those games

– When the Aces are credited with single digit assists in a game, they are 0-4

– Interestingly enough – Evansville is 1-2 when committing fewer than 10 turnovers

Scouting the Opponent

– Loyola stands at 10-6 overall and 2-1 in the MVC

– After winning their first two league contests, the Ramblers fell at Drake by a 65-62 final on Tuesday

– One of the top players in the league is Cameron Krutwig; the unior leads Loyola with 16.3 points per game, 8.1 rebounds per contest and a total of 69 assists

– Krutwig along with UE’s DeAndre Williams are the only two players to rank in the top five in the MVC in scoring and rebounding

– Tate Hall averages 13.4 points and has a team-best 27 steals

– The Ramblers lead the Valley shooting 50.1% as a team
