Aloha kākou and Happy Aloha Friday. It is said that fences make good neighbors. The very wealthy live in fenced gated communities. Our political class lives behind guarded fences. National borders are just another description for fenced in properties. Fences provide security for you and your property. Fences provide privacy and boundaries which define the borders of your property. Without fences…

The Constitution’s Section 3 has been barely used since the years after the Civil War, when it kept defeated Confederates from returning to their former government positions. The two-sentence clause says that anyone who swore an oath to “support” the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection cannot hold office unless a two-thirds vote of Congress allows it.
Trump’s lawyers argue the provision isn’t intended to apply to the president, contending that the oath for the top office in the land isn’t to “support” the Constitution but instead to “preserve, protect and defend” it. They also argue that the presidency isn’t explicitly mentioned in the amendment, only any “officer of the United States” — a legal term they contend doesn’t apply to the president.
Trump made the opposite argument defending against his prosecution for falsifying business records by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, contending the case should move to federal court because the president is “an officer of the United States.” The prosecutors argued that language only applies to presidential appointees — Trump’s position in Maine.
The contention that Section 3 doesn’t apply to the president drew a scathing response from the Colorado Supreme Court last month.
“President Trump asks us to hold that Section 3 disqualifies every oathbreaking insurrectionist except the most powerful one and that it bars oathbreakers from virtually every office, both state and federal, except the highest one in the land,” the court’s majority opinion said. “Both results are inconsistent with the plain language and history of Section 3.”
———
Some conservatives warn that, if Trump is removed, political groups will routinely use Section 3 against opponents in unexpected ways. They have suggested it could be used to remove Vice President Kamala Harris, for example, because she raised bail money for people arrested after George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police in 2020.
Trump and his allies have attacked the cases against him as “anti-democratic” and sought to tie them to President Joe Biden because the Colorado case and some others are funded by liberal groups who share prominent donors with the Democratic president. But Biden’s administration has noted that the president has no role in the litigation.
Those who support using the provision against Trump counter that the Jan. 6 attack was unprecedented in American history and that there will be few cases so ripe for Section 3. If the high court lets Trump stay on the ballot, they’ve contended, it will be another example of the former president bending the legal system to excuse his extreme behavior.

Sigh
Yeah, this is my experience with those hard-core conservatives who claim to love the Constitution. Most of them have never read it.
For the record, the 3rd Amendment is the right not to quarter troops in your home except in times of war (with limitations).

"Radical leftists have never accomplished anything because they're inconsistent snowflakes"
Bitch what do you think the American revolution was??? Nobody thought you could do government without a monarchy, the idea of the people picking who ruled was wild!!! The sons of liberty were literally left wing terrorists. And just btw we spent several years trying to talk king George the dumbass into keeping life liveable in the colonies (mainly Boston) but he just kept making things more and more extreme. So we played dirty. Guerilla warfare. We stole everything that wasn't nailed down and grabbed some hammers and stole some of the stuff that was.
So don't pull the "haha weak leftists will never come together to do anything patriotism strong we love America and the founding fathers" shit like they wouldn't be rolling in their graves at the current political climate.

in my pursuit of ever-increasingly niche comics, I drew a 13 page comic about Tape v Hurley, a court case about Chinese-American school segregation in 1885. The rest of the pages are after the readmore, as well as on AO3 here. More obsure Chinese American court case comics are there, as well.

Historical Notes
Mary and Joseph Tape were not born in America, but their names and identities were very much formed in America. Joseph Tape was born Jeu Dip in Guangdong, China, immigrated the America when he was twelve, and spent his teenage years working as a house servant in an Irish household. Mary arrived in America at the age of eleven, and was found and raised as Mary McGladery in a Protestant orphanage as the only Chinese child amongst ~80 children. Both Mary and Jeu spent their formative years amongst White Christian families, so when Jeu Dip and Mary married in 1875, little wonder that Jeu picked the English name of Joseph Tape -- Joseph to match with Mary, and the German last name Tape as a nod to his former name of Dip.
The Tape family lived about 14 blocks outside of Chinatown, in a primarily white neighborhood. They dressed in Western clothing, spoke English at home, and Mamie grew up playing with non-Chinese kids. Naturally, they wanted their children to attend the local elementary school, a mere 3 blocks from their home. The principal, Ms. Hurley, denied her entrance, claiming that she was “filthy and diseased.” At the time, there was no public school option for Chinese children -- the 1870 state law stipulated separate schools for “African and Indian children” only, not Chinese. The Tape family, with the help of the Chinese Six Companies, their church, and the Chinese consulate, decided to sue, claiming that the 1880 California school code guaranteed everyone a right to public education and that this was a violation of the 14th Amendment.
They won.
But this was 1885, three years after the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act and six years before Plessy v Ferguson. Regardless of what the California Supreme Court might decide, public sentiment was on the side of the San Francisco school district. Determined to keep out this “invasion of Mongol barbarism”, the California State Legislature passed a law permitting separate schools for Chinese children, which then allowed Principal Hurley to reject Mamie Tape once more.
While Mamie was rejected from the Spring Valley Elementary School for being Chinese, she also had a hard time fitting in to the Chinese public school. The Chinese merchants saw Western education as something primarily for boys. (Their girl children learned from their mothers at home.) Mamie, a girl dressed in Western clothes, would have stood out like a sore thumb. The final panel of the comic was based on a photo from three years later, and even then, Mamie was the only girl.
Tumblr media
Places where I fudged the history: Frank, Mamie’s younger brother, was actually six years old and should have been more present in the comic, but I wante to keep the focus on Mamie and Mary. Also, Mamie had actually shown up to her first day of school in Western clothes. An earlier draft of the comic had a separate arc involving Mamie feeling rejected at school and Mary buying her some Chinese clothes, but that got too long and complicated.
Much of this was drawn from Mae Ngai’s book about the Tape family and their experiences as 2nd and 3rd generation Chinese Americans, titled “The Lucky Ones.”
----------
Here is Mary Tape's letter to the San Francisco School Board, 1885:
1769 Green Street. San Francisco, April 8, 1885. To the Board of Education - Dear Sirs: I see that you are going to make all sorts of excuses to keep my child out off the Public schools. Dear sirs, Will you please to tell me! Is it a disgrace to be Born a Chinese? Didn’t God make us all!!! What right have you to bar my children out of the school because she is a chinese Decend. They is no other worldly reason that you could keep her out, except that. I suppose, you all goes to churches on Sundays! Do you call that a Christian act to compell my little children to go so far to a school that is made in purpose for them. My children don’t dress like the other Chinese. They look just as phunny amongst them as the Chinese dress in Chinese look amongst you Caucasians. Besides, if I had any wish to send them to a chinese school I could have sent them two years ago without going to all this trouble. You have expended a lot of the Public money foolishly, all because ofa one poor little Child. Her playmates is all Caucasians ever since she could toddle around. If she is good enough to play with them! Then is she not good enough to be in the same room and studie with them? You had better come and see for yourselves. See if the Tape’s is not same as other Caucasians, except in features. It seems no matter how a Chinese may live and dress so long as you know they Chinese. Then they are hated as one. There is not any right or justice for them. You have seen my husband and child. You told him it wasn’t Mamie Tape you object to. If it were not Mamie Tape you object to, then why didn’t you let her attend the school nearest her home! Instead of first making one pre tense Then another pretense of some kind to keep her out? It seems to me Mr. Moulder has a grudge against this Eight-year-old Mamie Tape. I know they is no other child I mean Chinese child! care to go to your public Chinese school. May you Mr. Moulder, never be persecuted like the way you have persecuted little Mamie Tape. Mamie Tape will never attend any of the Chinese schools of your making! Never!!! I will let the world see sir What justice there is When it is govern by the Race prejudice men! Just because she is of the Chinese decend, not because she don’t dress like you because she does. Just because she is descended of Chinese parents I guess she is more of a American then a good many of you that is going to prewent her being Educated. Mrs. M. Tape

♥︎ARIES on 1ST HOUSE CUSP – Aries starts the zodiac, and with it comes strong energy to start anew. One of the most important houses because it’s angular or very visible, Aries qualities magnify here. First house is what and who you present to others, how others see you. You take initiative and lead easily – often physically fearless, you love to compete in any situation - in anything physical, most definitely. You have no fear of blazing new trails, going first where others fear to tread. Remember to check Mars position in the chart for the full picture.
♡ARIES on 2nd HOUSE CUSP – Second house’s scene it set around money, values, and sensual pleasures. Here, Aries initiative shows up in aggressive, bold money management. You can lead and be a pioneer in some new way of managing material resources, maybe starting a financial company on the cutting edge. Think a nothing-held-back Wall Street executive – you get the drift. Another way this can play out is in energetically going after sensual pleasures.
♥︎ARIES on 3rd HOUSE CUSP – Your initiative in 3rd house often comes out as pointed, forceful communication, sometimes bordering on aggression. You’ll always have plenty to say, and others may swear you spend all your time clued to your computer or phone writing the constant blog entries, articles, application manuals, and magazines – you’ll always have an opinion and you’ll defend it vigorously. You’re a leader in new ways to reach out to others, too. This position can mean arguing a lot with your siblings or the next door neighbor, too, but you often are the first to make amends.
♡ARIES on 4th HOUSE CUSP – This is the 2nd angular house, and anything in angular houses is more visible in your life than in other houses, meaning many things change, life happens. With Mars ruled Aries describing your home life, this is not a bed of roses within family setting. Quarrels at home, aggression, forceful males at home is one way for this energy to come out. The more congenial side of Aries here is a lot of energy put into home repairs, or making your home a place for competitive sports. And that forceful male can be a powerful protector.
♥︎ARIES on 5th HOUSE CUSP – Think of Don Juan or Casanova, and the meaning of Aries in 5th house cusp soon becomes clear. The house of romance and play gets extra energy with the passionate, charismatic Mars rulership. Much time and energy is spent on pursuing romance. Fifth house also describes children and creativity. You can channel your strong creative flow into expressive, passionate sculpture, painting, or creative words. The stage also calls, as do any competitive sports where you can shine.
♡ARIES on 6th HOUSE CUSP – With the planet of energy, Mars ruling your work life, you’re a fighter and leader at workplace. You’ll go aggressively after what you want at work, sometimes rattling up both co-workers and bosses. Becoming a boss is probably one of your goals, and depending on Mars aspects, chances are good you’ll get there, as most of your energy is directed to work. Sixth house also describes service and health – channel your passion into service related healing work, and you’ll feel your Aries energy flow evenly.
♥︎ARIES on 7th HOUSE CUSP – This house is opposite the Ascendant, and it’s one of the angles or major points in a birth chart. The Ascendant describes you, and 7th house describes others in close personal relationship with you. This is definitely your wife or husband or other long-term significant other, but also any partner you are closely related with in business or legally. Aries here shows something’s always happening with your partner, and that sometimes he or she may become a little combative. Much depends on Mars sign, house and aspects, as well as other planets in this house. If the general tone is good, then this can mean a strong partnership with a lot of energy and tender loving directed to make it work. Under difficult aspects, tension and fights with partners is in the cards.
♡ARIES on 8th HOUSE CUSP – This scene is ruled by Mars itself (as well as Pluto), so all things passionate and intense intensify. Passionate lovemaking, passionate emotional connections, intense financial negotiations about money with your partner, strong psychic intuition – expect all these with Aries ruling the house of sex, shared resources, and death. You may stand to inherit money at some point in your life. In any case, you’re likely to be a fearless pioneer, going where many hesitate to go physically, psychically, and mentally, to explore what life and beyond is all about.
♥︎ARIES on 9th HOUSE CUSP – You’re likely to stay mentally active all your life, always exploring new ideas of knowledge, never feeling too old to find out the latest in cutting edge scientific, spiritual or any higher education advances. Foreign cultures and lands also beckon, exploring these and traveling to places far away is one of your favorite pastimes. Strong attraction to males who are foreigners or even moving to other countries and marrying there can easily happen with Aries here. You can also start new movements exploring higher vistas in philosophy, higher education, or spiritual fields.
♡ARIES on 10th HOUSE CUSP – This is the 4th, and final angle of a birth chart, an important house for career and status (the other angles are 1st, 4th, and 7th). Aries here shows you’re very ambitious and willing to go after status and career recognition with vigor. Your aims are high in life, and you waste no time going after them. Depending on other factors, like beneficial Saturn and Mars aspects, you’re very likely to get there, or under adverse aspects, it’s harder. In any case, status is important, and something you’re willing to fight for.
♥︎ARIES on 11th HOUSE CUSP – Friendships and group associations are very important – you’ll spend a lot of energy participating in anything that involves many people. You can easily initiate programs that benefit the local charities or humanitarian organizations far and wide. In fact, you can become a fighter for the underdog, expending your formidable inner warrior in the cause of helping others. And you’ll enjoy partying with a group of friends, as well.
♡ARIES on 12th HOUSE CUSP – Things could get a little tricky with Mars ruling the house of ‘secret enemies’, because it can describe aggression from others although it’s not obvious. Anything in 12th house is hidden. As always, if Mars has good aspects, this can just mean you direct your energy into passionate artwork you create in seclusion, or pursuing a physically demanding spiritual practice. It’s good to be aware that things are not always what they seem, to observe how people behave to be sure of their motives with Aries ruling this house. As always, Mars aspects determine how the energy comes out.
