Two Different Extreme Judgements

A Bombay High Court Judge Pushpa Ganediwala has ruled that groping a child through their clothes  not amount to sexual assault. The guy was fondling a 13 year girl’s boobs without removing her clothes. That is OK with that Bombay High Court Judge. According to the judge the accused did not make skin to skin contact. 

The same judge, in a different case, ruled unzipping a girl’s pant or holding her hand do not amount to sexual assault. 

This is one extreme judgement. I wonder how the judge would have ruled if the victim is her own daughter or any relative. In my opinion she should be dismissed from the job. 

Indian Attorney General called the judgement “very disturbing” and brought this to the attention of the Indian Supreme Court.  

Different country, different judge, similar case – same day 

In Malaysia, a female judge Gunasundari (Malaysian Tamil), for a similar case (a man sexually assaulting a 12 year old girl) sentenced him to a corporal punishment of 24 caning and 1050 years in jail. 

This is another extreme judgement. Caning 24 times as a corporal punishment is fine. But 1050 years in jail? Is this a show off? Does the judge expect him to live 1050 years? If she wanted him never to get out of prison, she could have given a judgement of 125 years in jail without parole. (He may not live for more than 100 years,  125 years just to be on the safe side.)

Trump - Unsung Accomplishments

The hatred TV media (especially CNN) has for Trump doesn't allow them to recognize anything good he did. To be fair and objective, here are a few samples: 

He ended gag orders on pharmacists which had prevented pharmacists from sharing money-saving information with customers. 

He added new tools to help states fight sex trafficking.

He signed a law requiring airports to have a space for breast-feeding mothers. 

He signed a law to fund $10M/year to clean plastic and garbage from the ocean. 

He enforced a provision of the Affordable Care Act forcing hospitals to publicize their prices with another executive order. 

Competitive corporate tax rates. 

He ordered the military to totally destroy ISIS and they did. 

He is the first president in forty years not to start a war.

Trump Impeached Again

President Donald Trump was impeached again for the second time by the House of Representatives.  What a waste of time and money.

Nothing will happen by impeaching him 1000 times unless the Senate convicts him.  Senate Majority Leader (the current leader) Mitch McConnell said he will not even bring the matter for discussion until after Trump leaves his office at noon on January 20.

Even if the impeachment proceedings by the Senate were taken up after he leaves office, will there be 60 votes (out of 100) to convict him? I doubt it.

My advice to Democrats.  Just leave him alone and he will leave office in a week.  By impeaching him you are giving more popularity and publicity.

This will also give Trump a great campaign speech in 2024.

"Look, I pissed off the democrats so much that I was the only President to be impeached twice by them.  Therefore, all democrat haters vote for me".

PS: After publishing this post, one more thought came to my mind.  Can they impeach and convict a private citizen?  After January 20th noon time, Trump is a private citizen.

The relevant text of the Constitution reads as follows: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." (Article II, Section 4)
