Opinion | Letters: Making the case against originalism from the U.S. Supreme Court
Since the implementation of the U.S. Constitution, it took over a century for the 19th Amendment to guarantee a woman’s right to vote. It took longer for a Supreme Court decision to include integrated public schools and still longer for civil rights and voting rights. And it took 150 years to extend to a woman’s right over her body in the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade.
Also, apparently, the originalists on the court have determined that the states should be able to tell people how to manage their bodies and health decisions, even when many Republican-led states are more than happy to write laws based on their own religious leanings. I guess allowing state theocracies in half our nation is OK?
Data tracking the use of Lyft and Lime’s e-bikes in Denver shows nearly 400,000 trips since 2018, totaling more than 600,000 miles. E-bikes are expanding mobility options while supporting efforts to reduce emissions. Improving safety and achieving the city’s vision of zero traffic fatalities cannot be accomplished by infrastructure alone; we need the public’s help and drivers to slow down, drive sober, and watch for people traveling on foot and on wheels, including wheelchairs.Editor’s note: Phipps is executive director of Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. Rink is executive director of the city’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency.
Nearly three years ago, one of my cycling friends, Dwight “Red” Miller, was struck by a car and left critically injured while on a ride back home from the Aurora Reservoir — a route I had ridden with him three days prior. Red died from his injuries a short time later. Perhaps it was all the above, but one must wonder if things would have been different if citizens, politicians and the media all had not turned a blind eye.We should not turn a blind eye to the dangerous events of Jan. 6 and of this continued ideological movement.I noted the article in the business section concerning the decline of auto registrations and the money it’s “costing” the state. I recently wrote Gov. Jared Polis a letter about the drivers who have expired plates, expired permits, etc.
To kill a wolf for its pelt is trophy hunting and nothing else. When I’m big-game hunting, I want to see a family of wolves trotting across the hillside, hunting with me, and maybe, just maybe, to hear a wolf howl in the wilderness.Re: “Climate politics are worse than you think,” July 20 commentary Mr. Krugman, you have had a distinguished 20-plus year career as an columnist for The New York Times. Is this the best you can do?I have an idea for mitigating the impact of high gasoline prices on drivers’ home budgets: Leave for your destination a few minutes early and drive the speed limit or below.
Too many politicians put party first and country second. They must demonstrate they are the exact opposite to gain my vote. That is real political integrity.I wanted to say thank you for your article highlighting the various day trip options with the new Pegasus Shuttle. My husband and I took a day trip to Frisco and hiked one of the trails recommended in the article, had lunch, and made it back to Denver in the late afternoon.
What can be done to get more solar energy in Colorado? First, the process needs to be streamlined. Currently there are too many hands involved in the process, with owners of these hands saying different things. While they make excuses, panels sit on roofs without generating energy. Back when I was much younger, the lesson passed along from my elders was “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” Apparently that lesson is now null and void.It’s not just Manchin disregarding our peril
