Opinion Line Extra (April 22)

It is 1 mile from the Supreme Court to the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Would someone please take our liberal justices over there to show them that we still have a Constitution?

Some 17,465 people died from overdosing on illicit drugs like heroin and cocaine in 2014, while 25,760 people died from overdosing on prescription drugs. Number of deaths from marijuana overdose: zero.

When we get sick enough of school shootings and sex offenses, will we fund serious research into identifying boys at risk for such behavior and what kind of early treatment helps, and stop slashing mental health funding? Or will we just continue prayerfully, thoughtfully wringing our hands?

In the past, our political parties disagreed on most legislation but compromised, and effective bills were passed. The two parties balanced each other. The cable news networks and talk radio are cancers, bringing our government to a standstill.

I don’t know what Saudi Arabia did or didn’t do in regard to Sept. 11. But there are lots of Afghan and Iraqi civilians who have died at the hands of the U.S. government who could make the case for wrongful death reparations as well. So be careful, Cal Thomas (April 20 Opinion).

For all you Kansans who plan to vote for Trump if he’s nominated: Before you enter the voting booth, please remember what has happened since you voted in Brownback. It’ll be deja vu all over again, only on a far more disastrous scale.

I can’t wait to go into the transgender bathrooms and leave all the toilet seats up.

Who is going to be the restroom sex checker? Will they be paid, licensed sex checkers, or will any volunteer do? Will I have to show my birth certificate to use the facilities? Will a passport or driver’s license suffice, or will Kris Kobach require the original birth certificate?

I can’t wait for the arrival of more surveillance cameras in our Old Town district. I am so excited about this that I am going to transition to not spending any of my money in downtown Wichita anymore.

Crying about police surveillance in Old Town? Stay home. Police are present where the trouble is. I guess you fondly miss the shootings and attacks there.

One contributor was right about the Kansas Star Casino. Nothing like it for “tight” slots. It’s like they are laughing in our faces when we go and leave there. I won’t go to Prairie Band and I’m getting there with the Kansas Star. It doesn’t make sense to be that tight.
