Letter to the editor: Jan. 6 testimony should not be admissible
The “explosive” evidence that Cassidy Hutchinson presented last week, at the Jan. 6 Committee hearing, would not be admissible in a court of law, whether at a trial or a hearing. She, herself, did not see or hear much of what she testified to. If someone representing the other side – there is no other […]

Letter to the editor: Maine Med/Anthem fights shows flaw in the system
This letter concerns the unsettled conflict between MaineHealth and the Anthem Health Insurance Company. I have reviewed the published articles written by the CEO’s of the two organizations, both of which are, in my opinion, poor defenses or their respective points of view. The provider describes how wonderful his organization and its employees are, and […]

Letter to the editor: Dogs and owners are grateful for Willard Beach
Dogs are part of our world, for better or worse. As a dog owner, I greatly appreciate the privilege of walking my Yorkie Skye at Willard Beach during allowed hours. Skye loves it too. I got Skye mainly because of the daily dogs-allowed times at Willard Beach. Before Skye, I fell in love with being […]

Letter to the editor: Justice Thomas only questions the rights of others
I find it interesting that Clarence Thomas considers it okay to overturn Supreme Court rulings that protect abortion rights and same-sex marriage, given that his own marriage is only legal thanks to the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in the 1967 case Loving vs. Virginia, that finally granted protection to interracial marriage. Isn’t it rather hypocritical […]

Letter to the editor: Cars and trucks should share the road with bikes
This past Thursday, I was riding my bike, solo, on Route 88 in Falmouth, and was just about a mile from my home after a long ride. Startled by the blaring of a loud horn coming from a red truck, I threw up my arm in question. The passenger window rolled down and a gentleman […]

Letter to the editor: Abortion rights law is the next best option
Many predict legal chaos now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade protections. Some states, such as Texas, allow citizens to sue others who may enable or perform abortions. $10,000 goes to the winner. What might opponents of abortion rights do in pursuit of such rewards? Now is the time to envision such […]

Letter to the editor: The Electoral College prevents majority rule
The majority of Americans think women should have control of their own bodies. The majority of Americans want much stricter gun control. Why wouldn’t a democracy reflect these desires of the majority? Why? Because the USA is a republic, a democratic republic but not a pure democracy. The Electoral College has upset the democratically elected […]

Letter to the editor: Collins can’t have it both ways on abortion
Abortion is overturned, and Sen. Susan Collins, Maine’s most famous tight-rope walker, is back on the high wire, singing her favorite kind of song: It wasn’t me. I was lied to by Kavanaugh. How could I have known? Listen to Carl Tobias, a law professor who studies judicial selection: “…if you looked at what Trump […]

Letter to the editor: Justice should follow his own wise counsel
In writing the majority opinion on the case of the football coach from Washington leading a prayer meeting on the field at the end of a game, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote “The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike.” Gorsuch […]
