SUPREME COURT WATCH:
COURT MAKEUP CRITICAL
2016 ELECTION ISSUE
By Erwin Chemerinsky
[Excerpted from the OC Register]
o issue in the next presidential election is
more important than who will pick the next
Supreme Court justices. That president, especially if he or she serves two terms, is likely to
have four vacancies to fill. This is critical for so
many aspects of our rights. Since 1960 the average
retirement age for justices has been 79. In 2017
four justices will be at least that age: Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and
Stephen Breyer.
The current court is deeply ideologically divided.
Last year there were nineteen 5-4 decisions – 28%
of all cases. With a Republican president, there will
be a conservative majority for decades to come. If
a Democrat selects these four, they, together with
Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan will create a solid
liberal majority.
Consider a couple examples on each side to illustrate
what this election is likely to mean: New justices appointed by a Democrat would likely overrule Citizens
United which allows corporations to spend unlimited
money in election campaigns. They would also most
likely overrule Dist. Of Columbia v. Heller, which allowed private ownership and possession of handguns –
a decision which placed unprecedented limits on the
ability of government to prevent handgun violence.
On the other hand, a Republican president’s choices
will create a majority to overrule Roe v. Wade, allowing each state to prohibit or regulate abortion however it chooses. Women with money still will have
access to abortion by traveling to states where it is
legal; but poor women and teenagers once more will
be forced to choose between an unsafe, back alley
abortion and an unwanted child. Republican appointees almost surely will push to reconsider Obergefell
v. Hodges, which ruled that state laws prohibiting
same-sex marriage infringe the fundamental right to
marry and deny equal protection to gays and lesbians.
These are four of many examples. They show how
much difference one justice – let alone four – can
make for the future of constitutional law.
One of the longest-lasting legacies of any presidency
is their picks for the Supreme Court and the lower
federal courts. Clarence Thomas was 43 years old
when chosen. If he remains on the court until he is
90 (the age at which Justice Stevens stepped down),
he will have been a justice for 47 years. John Roberts and Elena Kagan were 50 when appointed. Lower
federal court judges also have life tenure and can
remain for decades after the presidents who appointed them have left office.
Thus, Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, should rightly see the composition of the
Supreme Court as a pivotal issue in the 2016 election. What the court does affects all of us, often in
the most important and intimate aspects of our lives.

are, bring unique assets to the peacemaking process.
They tend to be more inclusive, see from the heart
instead of just from the head, are ready to get involved in the dirty mess of conflict resolution, and
are willing to struggle for extended times in order to
bring about peaceful results. The International Crisis Group Report of 2006 stated: “Women make a
difference, in part because they adopt a more inclusive approach toward security and address key social
and economic issues that would otherwise be ignored.”
The Institute for Inclusive Society gives three significant motives for including women in the peacemaking process: When women’s groups exert a
strong influence over a peace process, an agreement
is almost always reached. With only a five percent
increase in women’s parliamentary representation, a
country becomes five times less likely to use violence
when faced with an international crisis. Peace agreements are 35 % more likely to last at least 15 years
if women participate in their creation.

this action but did not back down. These women exemplify what women bring to the peacemaking process.
The great peace prophet, Gandhi, said the achievement of nonviolence rests more on the shoulders of
women than on men. He believed that women are the
ones capable of teaching the art of peace to a violent
world.

The other day I heard a 1979 interview with feminist and artist Judy
Chicago in which she was discussing
the making of “The Dinner Party” art project. She
described how creating it took over five years of her
life and of the many things she learned in the process. She learned about women’s handwork that reLaurel Stone, a researcher on conflict management,

When I read about the 999 names, I began to think
In looking through the pages of history we find examples of women who willingly engaged in the messy
work of peacemaking. We come face to face with
women like Jane Adams, Aung San Sui Kyi and Leymah Gbowee who won the Nobel Peace Prize because
of their commitment to peace. We encounter women
like Helen Keller, Yoko Ono, and Joan Baez who stood
firm as pacifists. And we meet women like Jeannette
Rankin and Barbara Lee. Jeannette Rankin, the first
woman elected to the US Congress, just four days
after taking office in 1917 voted against US involvement in World War I. She said, “I felt the first
time the first woman had a chance to say no to war,

of the many women in my life time who could have
easily been included on it. So I will share with you a
little about three women of achievement I knew: The
Stricklin Sisters of Chestertown, Maryland.
Carrie Stricklin Jennings (1887-1981) was a nurse,
trained at Hampton Institute in Virginia. She nursed
countless numbers of patients at its hospital and
sent money home to help educate her two younger
sisters.
Irene Stricklin Graham (1889-1990) spent 42 years
teaching elementary school to black children. She
worked her way through Delaware State University
and at one time was its oldest living graduate. She
Page 5
also taught voice and piano to country children who
had no access to music education save that which
she provided. One of her students said, “I am not
too bright, but Mrs. Graham believed that I could
learn how to play the piano.” And there he was, exquisitely playing the piano at her funeral.
Pauline Stricklin Merry (1898-1974) studied home
economics and graduated from Pratt Institute. She
worked as a dietitian at Harlem Hospital and then,
after marrying (with a honeymoon in Paris, France),
moved to St Louis where she used her brilliance
raising her family.
You’ve never heard of these three women—I did
because they are my mother and her sisters--and
they made history by getting an education beyond
high school when few – white or black - did. They
used it to serve their families and communities.
Each could have had her name on a tile of Heritage
Floor.
Who are the women in your life who made history,
including yourself? Did one get the stop sign installed at the corner so children could walk to
school safely? Or was she the first woman to go to
college in her family, and did it while raising two
children as a single parent? Or was she the woman
who became president of a college that would not
have enrolled her in the past? Was it you who went
to jail to protest the toll road? Did you make history? Should your name have been on Judy Chicago’s heritage floor?

Book Corner: A Woman in
Arabia
By Marcia Goldstein
A recent book presents the life of an
amazing woman through her letters, “Gertrude Bell,
A Woman in Arabia: The Writings of the Queen of
the Desert,” edited by Georgina Howell.
Born in 1868, Gertrude earned first class honors at
Oxford University, achieved fame as a mountain
climber, and organized the Red Cross Office for
Wounded and Missing Enquiries during WWI. Her
interest in archaeology led her to learn Arabic,
Persian, and Turkish. She studied ancient history,
map making, photography, surveying, and astronomical observation.
Her many expeditions in
Mesopotamia were organized and financed herself,
a lone woman, in Victorian
garb, traveling in primitive
conditions by camel. The
tribes through whose lands
she traveled judged her
status by the high style in
which she traveled. Her
wardrobe included evening
dresses, and her petticoats
hid guns, cameras, film, and
gifts for sheikhs. Her equipment included Wedgewood china, crystal, and a canvas bath. She faced
incredible hardships in her travels through uncharted territory, discovering new archaeological
sites and drawing maps of tracks, water holes, and
ways through the mountains. She learned the customs of the desert tribes as she dined in the tents
of sheikhs, exchanging gossip and information, and
learning about the relations among the various
tribes.
No one had a greater understanding of the history,
geography, and culture of the Middle East at the
turn of the 20th century. And no one played a more
significant role in the creation of the state of Iraq
out of the remains of the Ottoman Empire. During
WWI Gertrude served in the Arab Intelligence Bureau along with T. E. Lawrence, with whom she
shared a similar background. Gertrude’s knowledge
of the tribes, the territory, and their methods of
warfare made her invaluable.
The Turks practiced a scorched-earth policy as
they retreated north. Gertrude’s report, “Review
of the Civil Administration of Mesopotamia” (1921)
summarized the issues in creating a functioning
land out of the chaos. Under British administration,
destroyed communities and infrastructure had to

say that our Constitution was always meant to be a
be rebuilt, public health measures had to be implemented, revenue had to be collected, schools had to
be reconstituted, a system of local justice had to
be provided, humanitarian aid was needed
(thousands had died of starvation), agriculture had
to be reintroduced, and oil production needed to be
protected.
Gertrude recognized that in a future independent
Iraq the interests of the many and varied peoples
who had migrated to and settled in Mesopotamia
over the centuries needed to be addressed. She
foresaw that the Sunni wanted an independent
state under an emir, the Shia wanted a theocratic
government, the mountain tribes wanted no government at all, and nothing had been done for the
Kurds.
When Iraq was created and her political role
ended, she focused again on archaeology. Her last
great work was the creation of the Baghdad Archaeological Museum, cataloguing the treasures,
many collected or bought by her. It is now known as
the National Museum of Iraq, sadly looted in 2003
in the war.
OUR CONSTITUTION:
THE INDIANS
By Bill Tuohy
(The last of the Series)
rom the very beginning of European exploration in the New World, settlers and natives made treaties with each other. In
1693, the Wabanaki had a treaty with Gov. Phips
and the colonists of Massachusetts Bay. With the
advent of Queen Anne’s War, the Hurons signed
treaties with the French, as did the Iroquois with
the English. It is worth noting that the Indians
were as antagonistic to each other as were the
English to the French. Regardless, it much seems
as if prior to our Constitution, treaties were common between natives and whites.
governing document by and for whites only. In its
amendments there is acknowledgement that
‘others,’ too, might inhabit the earth! That said,
where were the Indians in all of this? They are
actually mentioned explicitly, twice: 1) Article 1,
Sec. 2, “… excluding Indians not taxed …” and 2)
Article 1, Sec. 8, “… regulate Commerce … with the
Indian Tribes.”
In Worcester v. Georgia (1832) our Supreme Court
ruled that Native American tribal sovereignty is
partially limited as "domestic dependent nations."
So too is the sovereignty of the federal government and the individual states. By the Tenth
Amendment, individual states and “domestic nations” cannot print currency or conduct foreign affairs; and each state is limited by the other with
neither’s sovereignty being absolute. On the other
hand, the unitary states, like the Indian tribes,
cannot print currency or conduct foreign affairs, or
exercise other powers assigned by the Constitution
to the federal government. Tribal sovereignty then
is a form of sovereignty within the US constitutional framework, constrained by, but not subordinate to other sovereign entities.
One would have thought that with the classifying of
tribes as domestic dependent nations, the federal
government would protect its people. But no!
Jackson’s treatment of the Cherokees was in total
defiance of the central government. Sutter found
gold in California in 1848. But with the end of the
Civil War all hell broke out insofar as the Indians
were concerned. The trans-continental railroad
was completed in 1864. The gold-rush was on and
Manifest Destiny was made manifest - from sea to
shining sea!
Beginning with the Indian Wars in 1864, it looks as
if the US Cavalry went all-out to exterminate the
Indians. It is no coincidence that General
Sherman, of marching-to-Georgia fame, declared
many times that “Every man, woman and child of
them should be exterminated.” And Phil Sheridan,
Grant’s famous cavalry general, is credited with the

acerbic remark, “The only good Indian I have ever

American Write-In” will be held at the Delhi Center, 505 East Central Avenue, Santa Ana from 9:30
to 1:30 on Saturday, March 12. The purpose of the
‘Write-In’ is to provide citizens with a simple way
of telling their legislators how they feel about the
pressing issues of the day.
The sponsor of the undertaking, Women For Orange County, underwrites postage and arranges
mailing. The event itself features tables staffed
by some 50 social change organizations, each with
different goals. Past participants have included
the California Clean Money Campaign, the American
-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International.
Sand Creek Massacre
Enter John Chivington, colonel in US Army, Methodist pastor, November 1864: “Damn any man who
sympathizes with Indians! ... I have come to kill Indians, and believe it right and honorable to use any
means under God's heaven to kill Indians. ... Kill and
scalp all, big and little; nits make lice.” While leading a 700-man force at Sand Creek, an estimated
163 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho – mainly
women, children, and infants – were killed and mutilated by Chivington’s men. Troops took scalps and
body parts as battle trophies, including fetuses and
male and female genitalia.
In addition, multi-purpose organizations like Concerned Citizens participate—and we will again this
year. Our table will offer petitions, postcards and
form letters on a variety of timely topics. If you

Since 2011 Elaine and I have had a
wonderful collaborative partnership
publishing this newsletter. This issue
is the last that we will jointly produce. On her
shoulders fell the responsibility of writing content, collecting material, editing and proof reading
the edition prior to distribution. She never failed
to provide us with articles of great interest, presented in a thoughtful manner, often having to cajole members to contribute. She was as meticulous
as she was talented and saw to it that ne’er a
