Ferguson is about the process. It is not for me or media to try the case. It does seem that the prosecutor changed the process. It does seem that the grand jury tried a case. It does not seem that there was an advocacy* for the people or that the tables were turned as to who the people are.

Supreme Court Jest Ice?
Where is the ice going? Well here is where it is coming from:
The New Yorker*: Rational Irrationality.
Well, not exactly: Obamacare Supreme Court Case is a Bad Joke.
Actually I will be intentionally preemptive**.
Bottom line, I have yet to read the article, but wanted to jump*** on the band wagon.(NOT!)
Not to make a federal case out of it, but I do intend to read more on this later.

** Jujitsu before reading.

[Follow-up:
Seattle Excerpts, interesting hodge-podge of exchanges. If the constitution is not a living document, what is federalism? Killing two ironies in one comment?
Justice Antonin Scalia: Mr. Kneedler, what happened to the Eighth Amendment? You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages? And do you really expect the court to do that? Or do you expect us to give this function to our law clerks? Is this not totally unrealistic? That we're going to go through this enormous bill item by item and decide each one?Deputy Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler: Well ...

But Roberts and Kennedy also asked enough pointed questions of the law's challengers to give the overhaul's supporters some hope. In any event, justices' questions at arguments do not always foretell their positions.Activism: "Justices Split".
Intentionally: Read Healthcare Jujitsu, Political Jujitsu, what's the difference? The party and the people. It would seem to me that Obama is the master, even without single payer as a goal. It might be called "free market" jujitsu where that is what could be flipped by even an option. The "free market" economic fantasy is under threat of being flipped as the fraud it is, under even the offer of competition. Maybe there is the jest ice.

Fairly Helmed(text)
Underwhelmed* is the lede some might choose for their take on
President Obama on the Way Forward in Afghanistan(video)
Yet tonight, we take comfort in knowing that the tide of war is receding. Fewer of our sons and daughters are serving in harm’s way. We’ve ended our combat mission in Iraq, with 100,000 American troops already out of that country. And even as there will be dark days ahead in Afghanistan, the light of a secure peace can be seen in the distance. These long wars will come to a responsible end.* Norman Goldman and Mike Malloy
As they do, we must learn their lessons. Already this decade of war has caused many to question the nature of America’s engagement around the world. Some would have America retreat from our responsibility as an anchor of global security, and embrace an isolation that ignores the very real threats that we face. Others would have America over-extended, confronting every evil that can be found abroad.
We must chart a more centered course. Like generations before, we must embrace America’s singular role in the course of human events. But we must be as pragmatic as we are passionate; as strategic as we are resolute. When threatened, we must respond with force -- but when that force can be targeted, we need not deploy large armies overseas. When innocents are being slaughtered and global security endangered, we don’t have to choose between standing idly by or acting on our own. Instead, we must rally international action, which we’re doing in Libya, where we do not have a single soldier on the ground, but are supporting allies in protecting the Libyan people and giving them the chance to determine their own destiny.
In all that we do, we must remember that what sets America apart is not solely our power -- it is the principles upon which our union was founded.
[6-23-11 Selected quotes from remarks extended.]
America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home.(...)
That’s a lesson worth remembering -- that we are all a part of one American family. Though we have known disagreement and division, we are bound together by the creed that is written into our founding documents, and a conviction that the United States of America is a country that can achieve whatever it sets out to accomplish. Now, let us finish the work at hand. Let us responsibly end these wars, and reclaim the American Dream that is at the center of our story. With confidence in our cause, with faith in our fellow citizens, and with hope in our hearts, let us go about the work of extending the promise of America -- for this generation, and the next.Bully for Obama, no Bully, no Teddy,more pulpit.
May God bless our troops. And may God bless the United States of America.

Problematics
Rachell Maddow: more than just a perspective. Facts do change with time. Past facts are still past, but present facts will soon be. Not to pun on what will be, but Osama bin Laden's past was really not so much the issue. Nothing will change* the mishandling of facts and choices made by the Bush administration. (By this I mean the importance of not having focused on getting bin Laden when the Taliban made offers asking for evidence before September 11th, 2001)
*actually congress can change and the presidency did (see "hypocrisy" and "flip-flop" under can change link)]
[Dylan Ratigan: Mega Fatwah.The difference* between opinion and ruling.
[Speaking of timing, I mean Dylan. It is alsmost as if, I had already read these. Not. Actually I have read the last link here, before this Temporal rant, but the rest of the links in this bracket are yet to be read, yet seem to fit the bill or fill the tetrahedron, and a prior intent, or rather a comment yet to be found. Note on timing thing: refers to monkey see monkey do of original intent, meaning an email going around about the psychology experiment(a seam in time with the Dylan cracks), and how some people think they know better.]

[Dylan Ratigan: Mega Fatwah.The difference* between opinion and ruling.
A fatwā (Arabic: فتوى; plural fatāwā Arabic: فتاوى) in the Islamic faith is a religious opinion concerning Islamic law issued by an Islamic scholar. In Sunni Islam any fatwā is non-binding, whereas in Shia Islam it could be considered by an individual as binding, depending on his or her relation to the scholar. The person who issues a fatwā is called, in that respect, a Mufti, i.e. an issuer of fatwā, from the verb أَفْتَى 'aftā = "he gave a formal legal opinion on". This is not necessarily a formal position since most Muslims argue that anyone trained in Islamic law may give an opinion (fatwā) on its teachings. If a fatwā does not break new ground, then it is simply called a ruling.[1]*spirt and letter of the law]
An analogy might be made to the issue of legal opinions from courts in common-law systems. Fatwās generally contain the details of the scholar's reasoning, typically in response to a particular case, and are considered binding precedent by those Muslims who have bound themselves to that scholar, including future Muftis; mere rulings can be compared to memorandum opinions. The primary difference between common-law opinions and fatwās, however, is that fatwās are not universally binding; as the Sharia is not universally consistent and Islam is very non-hierarchical in structure, fatwās do not carry the sort of weight that secular common-law opinions do.

Justice?
It is more about narrative than justice.
Many will agree killing bin Laden is justice, some will call it an execution. Some say President Obama did not give President Bush enough credit. Some will say that he bin Laden deserves more. I think the poor ridge is just right. And to summit up:
* link updated
[I have been meaning to focus on labels, updates and other project improvements. Here is a New Label**, The Golden Rule(also my photos) Also I should note my evolution from a lack of links to way too much linking. Hence the not so middle ground of this piece.]
** Now Labels label needs to be edited and updated to only New Label references. Now that is Poetic Justice or is it? It is another need to update or scroll over, to see the difference between search and labels.

[QED: Movement in one data point does not correlate with movement in another data point, especially when they are not in context or adjusted. Math is not a narrative, it is a process. Equations are more of a narrative but require enough data points and sufficient interpretation. There can be more jobless claims and more jobs added, which are independent of each other. OK, I have not QED'd anything but a hunch I just described and which apparently the data shows.]

As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam. I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.This is more than a mixed metaphor or mountain out of a moldy nursery tale*.

On the other hand, Sarah Palin is right that the President is responsible for telling America more, not that some understand the process of getting things on the table. ]
[Also on The Ed Show: Representative Bane Or, not ledership! I would like to defend Dick Cheney though, as I believe that the boos were for the heckler not the former V.P. If Republicans don't want to talk about the Reagan debt, then Obama can leave it off the budget table for them.]

Case Study
To be honest, I did not know how to characterize the situation of PFC Bradley Manning. I have not made much of the Wikileaks problem other than a possible jobs reference. PFC Manning is the reported source. I do not agree with his method or the principles behind Wikileaks, except that there are problems with the job of journalism. But that does not excuse the treatment of a prisoner as characterized in the above link from Psychologists for Social Responsibility, and it certainly does not seem to make him any more clear in his objectives. It seems that rather than be a principled leaker, Manning chose not to be the filter, which puts his principles and his defense and assessment for prosecution in a difficult enough position, without further mistreatment. So if this is a case study, it may be one for justice or not for our principles.
