Fifth Circuit strikes down Plaquemine disqualifying veteran rule
In a unanimous ruling the U S Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Louisiana invalidated Plaquemine broadside ordinance barring city employment for veterans with less than honorable discharges. The decision may broaden job schooling and insurance access for hundreds of thousands of veterans formerly barred. The case centers on Tommy Thompson a conscientious objector who received a dishonorable discharge in May 1970 and later worked as a city power plant custodian before the city enacted the rule. The court found the measure unconstitutional for overbreadth violating equal protection and due process. The ACLU pled for broader litigation on unfair employment practices. The ruling may spur further suits by veterans with other than honorable discharges seeking benefits or education.

Buckley Analyzes Four Mr Nixon Personas and Resignation
William F Buckley outlines four Nixon archetypes to guess future actions. Nixon One is the president who loves power and won’t quit. Nixon Two is the political realist who could resign if faced with impeachment. Nixon Three is introspective and ambitious yet burdened by fate. Nixon Four is the human, sensitive side who might choose resignation for humane reasons. Buckley argues a fusion of Nixon Three and Four could lead to a voluntary resignation with honor.
