Appellate justices in Albany on Thursday ordered a woman in Tompkins County to remove a rock from her driveway that is painted with a Confederate flag or risk a "change of circumstances" in the custody case of her multiracial daughter.

In a unanimous 5-0 ruling, appellate justices allowed the couple to retain joint custody of the child, who was born in 2014 and attends school in the Dryden Central School District, which is east of Ithaca.

  1. 1. How do they knw that the mother, recently moved in to this address, had anything whatsoever to do with the flag-painted rock?
    2. If the ?justices? don't uphold her First Amendment rights, what is the name of the country in which I'm currently living?

  2. Things are not going to stop or change until we start exterminating those that are destroying our country.

  3. Two people of the same sex can supposedly be married and adopt a child but having a confederate flag painted on a rock in the driveway is not a suitable environment for a child? Where do they find these screwed up judges?

  4. Such insanity was foreseen by one of our most prescient founders and perhaps had already began. --Ron W

    "I do not charge the judges with wilful and ill-intentioned error; but honest error must be arrested where its toleration leads to public ruin. As for the safety of society, we commit honest maniacs to Bedlam; so judges should be withdrawn from their bench whose erroneous biases are leading us to dissolution. It may, indeed, injure them in fame or in fortune; but it saves the republic, which is the first and supreme law." --Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:122
