Now Democrats are attacking him for the views of his spouse. They'll stoop to any low to eliminate him.
What does this inform us? That Thomas have to be one heck of a decide. If he was weak, there could be no motive to eliminate him. He has confirmed himself something however. I, for one, thank God that this nice conservative continues to serve.

Because the article “Do or dioxide” (April 3) factors out, we don't but have the applied sciences wanted to take away carbon emissions from the ambiance.

College students who attend now can anticipate to be accosted by vagrants and pelted by eggs from the homeless. For that privilege, you get to pay $80,000 a 12 months.
Graduates of 2022: In case you don’t get an NYU acceptance letter, be grateful. You’re the fortunate ones.

Children out of sophistication
There'll all the time be youngsters who need to ditch college, however 40% (“Kick within the class,” April 3)? These numbers point out actual issues.
I've been a member of 4 unions, the final being the American Affiliation of College Professors. In the present day’s lecturers unions have outsized energy and have finished the whole lot of their energy to maintain college students out of faculty throughout the pandemic.
Nevertheless, college students additionally want protected faculties, neighborhoods, streets and transportation. If New York Metropolis needs its kids in class, repair the issues. Vote out the lefties and the lunacy they carry to the desk. Repair the colleges and the crime and absenteeism will repair itself.

Voter map redraw
In 2019, the US Supreme Court docket shut the door in opposition to federal courts listening to circumstances involving partisan gerrymandering, holding that there was no manageable commonplace for courts to contemplate (“Hochul Disses the Voters,” Editorial, April 4).
But The Publish means that the state’s redistricting plans may go to the federal courts if the state courts fail to reject the brand new congressional and state maps.
The case filed in state courtroom centered on state constitutional claims, not federal ones. And except the challengers can discover fault with the state maps over racial gerrymandering or racial vote dilution, the federal courtroom door stays closed to a brand new problem.
