The Daily Telegraph Editorial Board notes the publication carries the consensus opinions of its board. It includes the statement of belief by Steve Smith and Thomas A Colley and cites Psalms 62 6 as a personal affirmation of faith.
The editorial warns that adopting discrimination as a guiding principle would overturn civil rights law. It cites Judge Thelton Henderson’s restraining order against Prop 209 and argues courts cannot rewrite the Constitution to fit political aims. It decries judicial overreach and a broken checks and balances system.
A West Virginia reader complains law enforcement overreacts to a harassment case involving an adult and questions procedures. The letter urges compassion, criticizes arrest handling, and worries about the impact on basic rights and public trust.
Mercer County residents face danger from abandoned and unsafe buildings with no county maintenance rules. A Bramwell columnist argues for laws to require repair or demolition, noting fire and collapse risks, proximity issues along Route 120 and Route 20, and the need to protect neighbors and livestock. Susan Gullion backs stronger protections.
Cal Thomas argues the Hawaii decision does not vindicate the gay lobby but marks a preliminary ruling. He warns that only a constitutional amendment defending male-female marriage can preserve universal truths, faith, and social order, amid looming Hawaii legislative battles and possible legal challenges under equal protection.
Paul Craig Roberts argues that the 1991 Civil Rights Act, by allowing compensatory and punitive damages, pushed settlements over trials in discrimination cases. He cites Texaco as an example where tapes and transcripts misled leaders, prompting a costly settlement and fueling a shift toward quotas and group rights in corporate America and California's civil rights initiatives.
