Several things have become obvious on the political scene last week and troubling to those concerned about the condition of our Constitutional republic.
Excepting those who are ruled by their confirmation bias and talking heads in the media who have an overweening confidence in their ability to manipulate our thinking, those of us with functioning senses acquired hard evidence that the dominant political party has been lying to us.
As is their pattern, they are accusing the opposition of the things they are doing. The Emperor dropped his clothes in public view.
Even more troubling is the knowledge that un-indicted felon son Hunter, for whom there is a mountain of evidence that he is an agent of foreign governments to include Mexico, China, Russia and Ukraine at a minimum is a constant confidant of his father with access to an untold amount of security intelligence. That he has not been charged for numerous treasons is evidence of the corrupted condition of the Justice Department.
Did we ever dodge a bullet when Merrick Garland wasn’t confirmed for a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court?
The most recent opinion issued by a majority of the Supreme Court opened eyes to the facts that the dominant party has no respect for the Constitutional concept of co-equal and power balancing branches of government.
They clearly believe that intimidation and threats of impeachment in the absence of any crime are perfectly acceptable means to their ends. SCOTUS is the last hope for political opponents of this administration’s 3d World lawfare.
They have become targets attracting invective and malicious attacks. The mindless inflammatory rhetoric by the minority dissenting justices has revealed the lack of judgment that results when you appoint for DEI instead of wisdom.
Pundits on the Left piled on in unison to decry the opinion as “putting the former President above the law”, and granting absolute immunity for murder and all manner of hypothetical acts, which it clearly does not as understood by people who speak English.
The lower court will be able to decide which acts are official and which are personal. They had best temper their criticism for the current President will need every ounce of immunity he can muster once the Department of Justice is purged of corrupt partisans.
The real persons who are above the law are undoubtedly the Obamas who have been pulling the strings from their 8,000 sf office and mansion in DC they never left. Notice how they have become more public now that their puppet is collapsing.
Steven Beschloss, the award winning political, foreign affairs, economics, art & culture writer and film maker (which you should understand makes him a mutual admiration society member) recently tweeted his displeasure with the reliance on the Justices of the Supreme Court as opposed to the “experts”!
As anyone with half a functioning brain knows, there is a long-standing ability and duty on the part of the military and bureaucrats to refuse unlawful orders, by the President or any other officer.
The President does little beyond instructing his underlings. In the present case, he is the mouthpiece for various foreign lobbyists.
What should be understood by his statements is that people of his persuasion want government by unaccountable bureaucrats and do not trust the democratic voice of the people.
They are the people who used the covid19 pandemic to manipulate the rules for voting, causing the electoral process to lose all credibility, leading directly to the January 6, 2021 unarmed demonstration. You can put them into the autocratic tyranny category. My fear is that all the malefactors will be pardoned in the false hope for unity.
