Thumb on the Justice scale

OPINION: Revisiting JD Bernardy’s HB652 – Abolishing Family Court

Editor: The author has asked to remain anonymous. In New Hampshire, family courts have outwardly been a two-decade battleground  between parents and the legislature—those striving to restore due process and accountability, while others are committed to continuing an irretrievably broken system. Unsurprisingly, meaningful corrective provisions for due process, appeals, and redress options are notably absent in … Read more

NH Supreme Court Crisis: Who Will Watch the Watchers?

From: A citizen for Transparency in the NH Justice System Our founders designed a government in which no man, however learned or cloaked in robes, would be unanswerable to the people from whom his power is drawn. They did not merely establish courts, but enshrined the expectation of character. If those who sit in judgment … Read more

Opinion: Your Drink and You!

YEESH, my fellow statespeople once again embarrass me. The legislature passed HB 81, allowing grown adults to take their beer and martinis with them to the restrooms.  Odd?  And you ask why?  It’s so nobody can put a drug into the drink when you’re not there.   This is an idiotic bill:  our legislators are … Read more

My parents … Read more

Jeb Bradley’s Lifetime Achievement Award

The NH-BIA pandering Bradley is just more of their same stroking-the-pet advocacy approach. It says: Be Our Boy, and Good Things Come Your Way. Senate membership is small and a bit clubby. The message of individual gratification is clearly received by all. Buying influence in the Senate is much more affordable than a sprawling crowd like the House. We … Read more

Open letter to Vice President Kamala Harris

I must ask, why?  Why are you running to be the President of the United States?  I watched several clips of your interview with Dana Bash, and I was not impressed.  To me, you looked furious at having to be there and absolutely uninterested in any actual questions.  Your “baby nieces” made you seem a bit excited, and you … Read more
