A stacked deck on the High Court?
To the editor:
Ms. Elena Kagan was recently appointed by President Obama and
subsequently confirmed by the United States Senate to be the next
Supreme Court justice. Now the United States Supreme Court will consist
of three Jewish justices and six Catholic justices.

Kind of town I’d move to
To the editor:
Last Tuesday I was visiting Baker City because I’m considering moving
there in January. I walked Main Street several times taking in the old
architecture and must have dropped my rental car keys while in awe.

Our Constitution not so stable as we’ve believed
To the editor:
A federal judge ruled recently that California’s definition of marriage
as being between a man and a woman is unconstitutional, as it deprives
gays of their rights under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Now
that “equal rights under the law” amendment was added shortly after the
Civil War to ensure that newly-freed slaves would not have their rights
taken away from them by former Confederate states. It contained no
provision for radically redefining the institution of marriage,
altering it beyond recognition. Such a thing was the furthest thing
from their minds. And that’s how things stood for nearly a century and
a half. But this particular judge has now decided otherwise, totally
ignoring the intent of the authors of that amendment.
