1.? Should public officials be chargeable for violations of civil rights of individuals to the same degree that private individual are?

Yes, unless their actions were because of departmental policy which had not previously been determined to be a civil rights violation. As the definition of what constitutes a civil rights violation has become more clear over time and with judicial rulings, I don’t think an individual who was following a departmental policy which is later determined to be a civil rights violation, should be held personally liable for that policy before it was determined to be a civil rights violation. Once an action is known to be a civil rights violation per previous judicial rulings, then yes, the individual should be held accountable, even if it is a departmental policy. ?

2.? Have you experienced shrinkflation on?

Yes. I find it very annoying with food portions being cut, while the packaging is kept the same….or worse, the packaging is made larger to give the appearance of a larger size, but the food portion is kept the same. I know there is no practical way to do this, but I’d love if there were a law that food packaging had to be proportional to the food that is in it.
I’m sure the shrinkflation is happening with other stuff, its just not as noticeable with a bottle of Tylenol or dish soap, since those would take weeks to months to use up.

3.? Do you think employees of the Biden presidential campaign should be removed from the Trump trial jury pool?

I’d assume they are, as its standard to remove people who may have a bias due to their employment. But yes, I think employees of any presidential campaign, should be removed from a campaign concerning election fund fraud.

4.? Were you suprised by the taxes due on April 15 this year - whether you got a refund or not?

No, but then I expected my taxes to go up, as my children have been aging out of being my dependents and getting the child tax credit. This year, 1 child is no longer my dependent, and 1 child aged from the far more lucrative child-tax credit to the regular dependent credit—but I was aware that would be happening, so not surprised by my taxes increasing.

5.? Should Trump be allowed to attend his son's high school graduation?

Is it normal to stop a criminal trial to allow someone to attend their child’s graduation? Whatever would be done for a common person accused of election fund fraud, should also be done for Trump.

1.? Should frozen Russian assets be converted to reparations for damage done to Ukraine by the Russian attacks?

Yes, it only makes sense to make the Russian government and its political leaders pay for the damage. The average Russian citizen doesn’t have assets in the US.

2..? If you could easily change your name - what would you change it to?

I would either change my last name to my husbands, or add his last name to mine. When we got married, it seemed stupid to change my name, plus it would be a lot of work. But 4 children later, it would make sense to have my name the same as theirs and my husbands. ?

3.? Are outside groups funding the protests on college campuses?

From what I’ve heard yes. And that many of the protesters are not students of the colleges being protested on.

4.? Does use of cell? phones impede social development of young people?

Yes to some extent. Communication via on-line means is a lot different from face-to-face communication. People need lots of practice of face to face communication to learn how to read body language, and how to watch what messages they are sending with their body language.

5.? How confident are you in current news sources?

Given that there are a plethora of news sources on-line, I am very confident. Every news source has some bias, some far more than others. All news sources in one country will have different biases than news sources in a different country. For most news, these biases play little role, and I would only need to check one source. For more controversial news, I can check several sources, including foreign sources (which often have the most unbiased reporting of US news,) and I am very confident I have as good a picture of that news story, as can be had.
