'As a woman who behaved like a woman, it amused her to occupy the austere oak-paneled executive suite once occupied by Joseph Kennedy and Howard Hughes. She gussied it up with large flower patterned furniture in decorator shades of yellow and green and a silver tea service that belonged to her grandmother; and wondered—but not very much—what Joe Kennedy would think of a Capri-clad President having her nails done during a business conference.' article, 'The President Wore A Dress To The Stockholders Meeting', TV Guide, July 1967. #lucilleball #desilu #madamepresident #girlpower #studiohead #stockholders #howardhughes #joekennedy #gussiedup #femininetouch #decorated #ilovelucy #desiluproductions https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4RoCNnu9O/?igshid=1isjhekpqq2df

Robert F. Kennedy, campaigning for President in 1968. Look at the expressions of joy on the people’s faces! Oh how we loved him! He was going to end the Vietnam War! I saw Bobby just like this and that close too, in Los Angeles —a couple of days before he was killed. His death shattered my heart, I still cry when I remember (like now). He would have won the Presidency too—he would have beat Nixon. There would have been no Watergate. He would have changed the world, for the better. Because he believed in kindness, compassion, equality and love. He was a brilliant man in the prime of his life. He was taken from us and everything changed and hope was lost by many (me included). Joe Kennedy III is the grandson of Bobby Kennedy. He is a fine young Congressman with a beautiful family. Sometimes I want him to run in 2020, but other times, I don’t. I don’t want what happened to his grandfather to happen to him. I would worry a lot about him. #RFK #robertfkennedy #bobbykennedy #1968 #joekennedyiii #joekennedy #50yearsago #presidentialcampaign

Fresh from its controversial abortion ban, the US Supreme Court on Monday, June 27 ruled 6-3 in favor of a Washington state high school football coach who was fired from his job for silently praying on the field after games.  Coach #joekennedy has been battling the #bremertonschooldistrict since 2015. The school claimed that his prayers violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution and he shouldn't have been praying in a public school. Therefore they fired him.    But the supreme court has now ruled that Bremerton School District actually violated Coach Kennedy's First Amendment rights. SCOTUS Blog tweeted, "SCOTUS sides with a high school football coach in a First Amendment case about prayer at the 50-yard-line. In a 6-3 ruling, SCOTUS says the public school district violated the coach's free speech and free exercise rights when it barred him from praying on the field after games."   The court pointed out that teachers and students alike still maintain their freedom of speech, even if they're working at a state-funded school. "When it comes to Mr. Kennedy's free speech claim, our precedents remind us that the First Amendment's protections extend to 'teachers and students,' neither of whom 'shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate,'" the majority opinion stated.   Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority, “The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike.” #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/CfV__fzr63V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
