Show The Daily Utah Chronicle. Wednesday. November 19. 1975 Page Four Thank God for S.C. The Guest Column by STACEY H 00 PES Justice Douglas may be gone, but the United States Supreme Court is still coherent. They ruled Monday that a Utah law refusing unemployment benefits to women in their last three months of pregnancy and six weeks after delivery is unconstitutional. Of course had the Court not so ruled, they would have been laughed off the bench. To say, as Utah Supreme Court Justice A. H. Ellett said, that women should "work for the repeal of the biological law of nature" and that "the great creator" legislated the difference between men and women is an example of illogical legal Don't criticize the Chrony comedy. The sad part of the situation is that we don't always have the U.S. Supreme Court to guide the hands of our narrow-minde- d Why is it that there are so many complaints and so few solutions? There are those persons who habitually complain, and others who do it out of "social pressure." Some are swept away with an in depth, or sometimes temporary negative attitude as well as those who find it the necessary to "poo-poo- " system. You. me, we all, at one time or another, get caught up in expressing our thoughts and statements. But the question lies here: Where should we draw the most excoriated. Every transaction is somehow related to them. If you don't at least try to correct or help line? Did you ever stop to think how easy it is to criticize? Books and music, as well as food and dress are subjected completely out a situation, what gives you the right to criticize? How many of you can truthfully say that you have gone through an entire day without being subjected or the subject of derogatory and needless remarks. To criticize is pointless, except to build one's own ego by accepting the "right on," "you said it," and "you tell 'em" reinforcements. Constructive criticism is a so-call- Utah justices. Ellett proved that Utahns should worry when he said that the high court is "entering into affairs that are not its business." The affairs of the United States Supreme Court include insuring that the constitution of this country be extended to every citizen, do they not Justice Ellett? Whether the payment of unemployment benefits are extended to every person who is able to work but unable to find a job is covered by the Fourteenth Amendment, is it not Justice Ellett? That residents of Utah are entitled to the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment and from the egotistical minds of state judges who can't see the U.S. Constitution through the foggy glasses of local power, is a fact isn't it Justice Ellett? Fortunately for you, Justice Ellett, and for the citizens of Utah and the 19 other states with unemployment laws affected by the ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court is still coherent, even with one painfully emptv seat. different ballgame.
