We are political centrists and we favor a number of things that the Trump administration is doing to get America back on track again,
but the red line of going too far has been crossed in separating children from their immigrant viz. migrant parents, even if the parents are in the United States illegally.
One of the unwritten rules of humanity is that humans do not forget that same humanity in their daily dealings with others, whoever they may be, wherever they may be.
We are 7+ billion human beings on this teeming, overpopulated planet and we all have an obligation to do our part, however small it may be, to help move the world in an improved direction. Leading by good example is one option.
It is true that most of us follow our own subjective, selfish interests in our daily affairs -- but that is not the ultimate solution to our planet's problems. Where able, we must improve the world, not make it worse.
"Better, YES, worse, NO." That is a slogan worth following.
There are few valid legal or other justifications for separating children from their parents. Politically motivated child separation is not such a justification. If solutions to immigration overload are to be found, they should be sought elsewhere. Leave the children out of this dirty business.
The Trump administration has erred grossly in condoning government separation of children and their parents -- the "family" being the bulwark of human society everywhere -- and Trump should be doing everything in his power to correct these "inhuman" separations as soon as possible.
We refer to a New York Times Opinion by Brad S. Karp, chairman of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison
, and Gary M. Wingens, managing partner of Lowenstein Sandler
. See The Law Did Not Create This Crisis, but Lawyers Will Help End It
.
As Donald Trump should know only too well, if you have the best lawyers in the country against you, your odds of "winning" are greatly reduced. Let's stay in the winner's circle and do the right thing.
You can't have unlimited immigration -- the world population is too large --
but you can have limited immigration guided by the rules of humanity.
We owe that much to ourselves and to others, and to human dignity.

Speaking of Laws.... Einstein's General Relativity Has Been Validated on a Galactic Scale -- Contrary to Modern Cosmological Curveballs
Speaking of laws....
Big Al seems to have gotten it right....
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
has been validated on a Galactic Scale ,
as reported by Maya Miller at Scientific American .
General relativity thus, using Miller's language,
correctly describes " gravity at cosmological scales ".
As Miller writes:
" The results also indirectly support the theory’s validity
in the face of dark matter, dark energy
and other cosmological curveballs. "

Automobile Motor Vehicle Laws: Dashcam Video Evidence Permitted in Germany by Federal Constitutional Court
Anticipating this decision, we some days ago acquired an automobile dashcom 4K camera outfit.
As reported in the news, Dashcam footage is to be permitted as evidence in German courts. Xinhua.net writes:
" The Federal Constitutional Court in Germany ruled on Tuesday that video footage captured by cameras attached to vehicle dashboards will henceforth be permitted as a potential form of legal evidence in traffic accidents in Germany. "
Read also (in German) at Computer Bild:
Wichtiges Urteil: BGH lässt Dashcam-Aufnahmen als Beweismittel zu
What is still NOT legally permitted is "continuous" viz. "endless" dashcam video footage, which is regarded by existing law to be a privacy invasion. Accordingly, permissible dashcam cameras will surely have to have some kind of automatic controls that limit the length of actual dashcam filming for any given video sequence.
As a practical matter, of course, this decision will definitely lead to an increase in dashcam sales.
