🏛️ We write about and engage with the ‘Pillars of Support’ often at The Horizons Project - and one of those pillars is professional associations; for example, the American Bar Association came out recently with a report from their Task Force for American Democracy & The Society for the Rule of Law released its ‘Statement of Principles to Preserve, Protect, and Defend the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and American Democracy’ ⚖️ “‘Lawyers have the unique skills and obligation to defend democracy, the Constitution and the rule of law as each takes an oath to do just that. Every American lawyer must play a significant role in rebuilding trust in our elections, educating the public on the rule of law and how democracy and the Constitution underpin what we all value in our everyday lives.’ The task force’s document includes lists of specific actions that lawyers and bar associations can take to stand up for democracy, from becoming poll workers to writing articles countering disinformation to hosting civic events.” 🔗 Check out the article by Dennis Aftergut in The Bulwark in the comments.

Justice suffers when its citizens refuse to stand firm for what is right. If we don’t fight lawlessness, it prevails. If we don’t establish the truth in our nation, then truth becomes foreign. When political leaders set a negative example, subvert the rule-of-law and allow injustice and lawlessness, the result becomes in an anemic government and a weak nation. • The Bill of Rights is the bone structure of the living and breathing United States of America. • The Bill of Rights is the embodiment of the “inalienable rights” dictated by the Declaration of Independence, upon which every Federal law, State law, State constitution and the United States Constitution are based upon. • Compromise the Bill of Rights, and you compromise the bone structure of the living and breathing Union. • Compromise the Bill of Rights, and the United States is nothing but a corpse. If we don’t fight lawlessness, it prevails.

Nevada is home to 20 federally recognized Native American tribes, each with its own distinctive cultural and historical background. Each of those tribes are sovereign nations with their own governments, laws, and justice systems.
