What Is Heaven Like?

I don't know, but I like this.


I like blue, so maybe that's it.  I like islands

I also like clarity.  I'm a huge fan of Hugo Black.  One think he did was fight for clarity in the law.  He would read the law and follow the law, as written.  Sandra Day O'Connor, on the other hand, is perhaps my least favorite jurist.  I felt like she was always making the law murky and unknowable.  The Undue Burden law.  Don't break the undue burden law!  
 
Look at that water.  That is clear water.  You can't hide in that water!  What you see is what you get.  I love the purity of this image, the cleanliness of it.  I love the dark blue sky, the white sand and the aqua cool ocean.  I like the bridge man has built.  I like that we have a path to nature.  Beautiful.

Reminds me of the Sandals at Montego Bay.

As for Hugo Black, he never escaped the stigma of the KKK even though he was appointed by the "liberal" FDR.

And Northerners were always skeptical of his intellect. When asked by the press how he'd managed to get to DC, he answered, "On the B&O".

Yankees have no sense of humor.

What a genius Black was. He dominated the Supreme Court. Shaped it like no other jurist before or since. His opinions still thrill me.
