The jury still has that power even today
Dear Editor: I entered law school in 1983 when I was 40 years old and a number of years after I had received my medical degree. I chose to attend the University of the Pacific law school in Sacramento, California, because I knew I would have Anthony Kennedy, who was on the 9th Circuit Court […]
Abortion has been around since males found females
Dear Editor: This is for the pro-life and pro-choice people. Abortion has been around since males found females. Roe vs. Wade just legalized abortion so medically trained people could perform them. The law does not say it is a right, moral or ethical, that is between the doctor, patient and the creator. The real issue is, why is […]
Doug Kary has proven himself untrustworthy and irresponsible
Dear Editor: Billings Heights Senate District 22 incumbent Doug Kary has proven himself untrustworthy and irresponsible. He voted against affordable health care, he favors a statewide sales tax, he has voted against teacher’s pensions, public state employees and working class wages, while voting himself a pay increase. He voted against options for veterans, against our […]
Carl Wolf paid a rare compliment to my writings
Dear Editor: In the June 22 edition of the YCN, Carl Wolf paid a rare compliment to my writings. Thank you, Carl, and Happy Birthday. However, Carl then used his column to villainize myself, claiming that I feel Democrats are “monsters” and “deadly creatures,” “out to destroy our country” and “enemies and terrible to boot.” […]
Because she has a D after her name
Dear Editor: I grew up on a cattle ranch in the Salinas Valley of California in the 1950s. When I was 40 years old, I enrolled in one of the larger law schools in Northern California. Many of my classmates were from some of the various University of California campuses, including the campus in Berkley, […]
What my vote means to Colstrip:
Dear Editor: What my vote means to Colstrip: Should a Canadian company be allowed to buy out the part-owners of Colstrip units 3 & 4? The Public Service Commission voted on that question on June 12, and my answer was “no.” Some friends have asked me whether my vote was “against Colstrip.” Nothing could be […]
That is one of the main reasons I could never vote for Jon Tester.
Dear Editor: In the past primary election I was a Dr. Al supporter. I am aware of the written endorsement that Matt Rosendale received from U.S. Senator Rand Paul. In 1964, the first year I could vote, I voted for Barry Goldwater. I have been a Libertarian-leaning type voter ever since. If Matt could get […]
Senator Tester has continually voted the liberal party line,
Dear Editor: Russ Fagg, A Conservative Voice Representing Montanans. Montana is in desperate need of a senator who will stand strongly to represent Montanans and Montana values. Senator Tester has continually voted the liberal party line, for gun control, for open borders and sanctuary cities, for ObamaCare, and most heinously, to send billions of dollars […]
That candidate is John Heenan.
Dear Editor: The good news is that ALL of the Democrats who are in the Democratic primary for Congress are people who I respect and agree with on many issues such as social justice for all, women’s rights, public lands and LGBTQ rights. I will support ANY one of them in the general election against […]
If you like Trump, you will love Troy Downing!
Dear Editor, I am second generation in politics in Billings and have been involved 40-plus years, on both sides of the political aisle. In all the 40-plus years, I have never met or supported a candidate that connects ALL the dots like Troy Downing does. If you like Trump, you will love Troy Downing! Here are […]
