Notably: The orange color over the United States is most notable of all–orange, not just for what Statista intends it to mean, but for its association with that other orangeade we have been afflicted with roughly since 2015, when it jumped the pages of the New York Post to invade us down to our follicles. Orange, the wonderful Alex Theroux (Paul’s brother), now in his 84th year, the author of Darconville’s Cat, An Adultery and Laura Warholic, but also if those two great collections on The Primary Colors and The Secondary Colors, classics still considered too minor against their worth (one day they’ll glitter)–orange, I was saying, is the wife of blue, the colors that apparently identified all second basemen in the National League’s inaugural season in 1881. “In China,” Theroux tells us, “orange stands for power and happiness, where it is also the auspicious hue of celestial fruit and the color of pride, hospitality, marriage, ambition, benevolence, what Ann Landers with her characteristic preschool rhetoric calls, I believe, a ‘day brightener.’ ” And this, which shades a bit closer to the unpresidential subject at hand in these, the leeward weeks of the hushmoney trial: “Many street prostitutes in the slum courts and side streets of Mexican cities, having an odd sense of what will attract men, often wear orange lipstick and orange fingernail polish.” But to the subject at hand: the map above, which breaks hearts whatever the color when it is other than green, since we still live not just in a world but in a country that finds such ample room for second, third, fourth class citizens, not to mention the non-citizens, who are just rapists and worse, according to the color of the man who really should be wearing it by now. Speaking of his cellmate: Theroux wrote The Secondary Colors in 1996, but like all good writers inebriated by clarity, he knew, he just knew, and wrote this: “ “Bill Cosby, an opportunistic, face-pulling buffoon, in my opinion, not a comedian, maybe because of the shameless and incessant spate of commercials he does on TV, looks to me not black, but orange.” Again, he must have meant that orange they wear at the Flagler County jail, and at San Quentin, as I recall.

The flurry of history-and-tradition opinions prompted an uproar among liberal court-watchers. What counted as historical or traditional? The open-ended nature of the terms seemed to invite a freewheeling survey of the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s “basically a fancy way of saying, ‘if men in power didn’t recognize this right as fundamental in ye olde times, we won’t recognize it now,’” tweeted Joseph Fishkin, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. The court was playing “memory games,” in the words of a widely cited law review article about Dobbs by Reva Siegel, a Yale law professor. Why does the conservative majority “appeal to history and tradition in exactly those cases in which it is changing the law?” she asked in another, forthcoming piece. […] The history-and-tradition test could have even more far-reaching effects on other areas of law. Last year, for example, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit considered a challenge to Tennessee’s ban on gender-related medical treatments for minors, brought by parents who argued that they had a 14th Amendment right to make decisions about treatments on their children’s behalf. In the majority opinion of a three-judge panel, Judge Jeffrey Sutton agreed that parents have the right to make decisions “concerning the care, custody and control of their children” — but ruled against the parents, because they hadn’t shown that a right to new medical treatments was “rooted in the nation’s history and tradition.” A month later, another federal appeals court similarly upheld an Alabama ban on gender-related care for minors Applied literally, the history-and-tradition test turns on whether a new practice is like an old one. If not, courts can discount whatever modern goal it is supposed to serve. But some of the justices are already wrestling with whether they have painted themselves into a corner.

–From Emily Bazelon’s  “How ‘History and Tradition’ Rulings Are Changing American Law,” New York Times Magazine, April 29, 2024.

    That “35,000” cartoon count is , indeed tragically (albeit, cynically) cartoon-ish–considering how the Gazan Health Ministry (and its associated partners) casualty numbers never take into account how many of that number actually is comprised of Hamas fighters, ther Humkan Shields and/or Palestinian cvilians that are killed by misfred Hamas/IJ rockets that land back into the Palestinians’ own backyards (deaths which are usually ascribed to being the result of “Israeli airstrikes.”)
    And, of course, the Israeli deaths that result from the unending rocket fire launched against them (The Iron Dome is not infallible) and the terror attacks that continue–as well as the fates of the remanng hostages–are brushed aside for propaganda purposes.

    ASF, AKA AIPAC, for the Israeli war crimes defense. Unfailing. Unconscionable.

    I am not a member of AIPAC (although I am supportive of Israel and feel that those who feel similarly supportive and concerned have every right to advocate for what is important to them.)
    Are you a member of CAIR? The same implied aspersions could be cast upon CAIR–which is a Pro-Arab lobbying group–that you seem to be levying against AIPAC–and me–in the comment above.
    Beyond that, stand by the points I made in my post.

  5. Pierre Tristam says

    June 2, 2024 at 1:21 pm

    Comparing AIPAC’s genocide apologists to CAIR (I’m not a member if anything, but I have nothing against CAIR) is like comparing the 2,000-lb bombs AIPAC lobbies the US government for (to massacre Palestinians whose lives matter not) to a slingshot. But you go in standing by your obliviousness to mass graves. Anything else would be surprising.

    Why would you ever stand by any of your comments about Israeli policies toward Palestine? You are a consistently vengeful person; it oozes out of your words towards innocent Palestinians. There are millions of innocent Israelis, too. Vengeance hurts everyone. Vengeance seems to be everywhere in that ancient land. By definition that makes any comment by you a bad comment. You might be less bad than other commenters out there, but you are a harmful vengeful commenter. Please start future comments about the horror that is today’s Palestine by stating that you oppose all murderous religious extremist Jewish settlers. Balance might do you good.
