President trump announcing over the weekend that his nominee to replace the Late Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg will likely be a woman. The president confirming today that among the top contenders are indianas Amy Coney Barrett and Floridas Barbara Lagoa both Appellate Court judges he appointed to be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god barrett has long been a favorite among conservatives, its never appropriate for a judge to impose that judges. Personal convictions whether they derive from faith or anywhere else on the law the 48 yearold new orleans native is a graduate of Rhodes College and university of notre dame before joining the notre dame faculty she clerked for the Late Supreme Court justice antonin scalia. She serves on the u. S.

It was a trailblazer in her passing should be mourned and our allies should be celebrated but under the constitution we have a job, yes, but yet the timeline and the quick action just apparently dawned on him because it was totally different when an engine scalia died in 2016 and lindsey graham. Supported the move by the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to refuse a confirmation hearing for president obamas nominee because they said it wouldnt be right to confirm a justice during an election year.

But the Positivity Rate is going down californias Positivity Rate is now 2. 1 . We are of the firm opinion that that we are able to move forward to increase the availability and the timeliness of tests here in the state of california we will have more clarity and more assurance in our capacity to move more swiftly to that not only reopen different sectors of our economy more fully, but also reopen our in a more Sustainable Way as well.

The city of san jose, the Union Pacific and open Space Authority are jointly cleaning up piles of trash construction waste. Furniture appliances and other garbage that was threatening to spill over into the roadway and Railroad Tracks long southbound moderate road. This and many other illegal dump sites around town are partly the result of covid cleaning says district 2 city councilman Sergio Jimenez folks that are maybe doing d i y work at their homes taken offense is. You know throwing away old couches. They saw this what it looked like effectively a dumping ground so people would come out and actually get rid of things and throw them out here on the side of the road 6 months ago, there was a small homeless camp here a few people dropped off food and blankets for the campers who were indeed trespassing. Then the donations of lumber concrete another construction debris started happening after dark. Salvaging batteries and other recyclables to help finance her move to another camp. It was me a couple yearold. They do show a fast too. The people just dont break this road wherever and then they take off and you cant you know nancy im out of time the number of homeless here have increased vehicles tires paint another toxics arrived. There was a fire neighbors demanded action now the city council will this week consider a tripling of the budget to tackle other dump sites around town and step up enforcement before those many small downsides turn into larger ones like this its happening all across the city and so. Our efforts really are how do we bring forward the resources so our teams at the city along with other folks in jurisdictions can team up together and really bring the property up resources to address this issue thats happening all over the city the cleanup here expected to take all week long as crews add to the 45 tons of trash already being picked up every week across town san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news. 6. 52 and lets take a peek at sfo you can see their clouds in the background but.
