Claiming a shortage of workers for the hospitality industry, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club has requested and obtained permission to hire 70 foreign workers. The claim of a shortage of available workers is disputed:

'"We currently have 5,136 qualified candidates in Palm Beach County for various hospitality positions listed in the Employ Florida state jobs database," CareerSource spokesman Tom Veenstra said Friday.'

70 is a slight increase over last year, when 64 foreign workers were hired.

"Making America Great Again" by hiring foreigners? Perhaps what is required is higher pay, not foreigners.

    A judge who actively undermines the applicable law is unfit to be a judge.

    FTFY.

    Judges are not there to please the people but to uphold the law.

    The court also determined that "Proposition 8 violated the Equal Protection Clause because there is no rational basis for limiting the designation of 'marriage' to opposite-sex couples."

    The judges decided that the California constitution could not be amended to be in conflict with the US constitution, given that California was part of the US. Admittedly, this clause was designed to protect the rights of the newly released slaves, but it applies just as much to any sub-group of citizens.
