“Like many people, I assumed every impeachment, every indictment, every criminal count would be the end of him.”
— Robert B. Reich, celebrated Trump hunter, career summation.
And just like that — snap ! — the news about the Colorado Supreme Court’s droll action against candidate DJ Trump vanished from the front page (or top screens) of The New York Times. Do you know why? I’ll tell you: Because the political Left has finally managed to embarrass itself with a “lawfare” gambit so nakedly fatuous that it exposes the faction’s drive to destroy the election process, and with it our country.
This is what you get from a regime that faked its way to power and now must strain to cover up its long train of crimes, abuses, and effronteries to common sense, while running out of tricks to keep fooling even its own deranged followers. Somehow, the act of kicking a leading candidate off the ballot has finally registered as inconsistent with “defending our democracy.”
Of course, the reckless abuse of law — “lawfare” — proceeds from the Left’s disrespect for boundaries and limits, which is exactly what law in principle concerns itself with. And from there it’s a quick leap into totalizing bad faith, the operating system for government under an imposter president, “Joe Biden.” Suddenly, mere days before Christmas, when the people want to be preoccupied with things other than politics, events merge explosively to shape the fate of the nation.
In a sane world, the US Supreme Court would not just summarily strike down the Colorado ruling, but would issue a career-ending rebuke to the brain-damaged state justices who managed to not learn a basic principle of due process: innocent until proven guilty — that to brand someone a criminal, there must be a record of indictment and conviction for a particular crime, and that, in the case of Mr. Trump, a politically-motived fairy tale about an “insurrection” doesn’t cut it.
Also, in a sane world interested in truth and justice, the Republican-majority Congress would have months ago convened new hearings about the Jan 6/21 Capitol riot to undo the manifold perfidious frauds instigated by the previous Democrat-majority committee under Chairman Bennie Thompson. By now, testimony should have been compelled from Nancy Pelosi, the then Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, and former Defense Secretary Chris Miller about Ms. Pelosi’s refusal to call in national guard troops to reinforce security around the building, and to answer for the odd behavior of the Capitol Police, such as opening doors for the mob and then serving as ushers to show off the place. It seems obvious that many elected Republicans also have an interest in supporting the Jan 6/21 “insurrection” fairy tale. Do you still wonder why the evil entity infesting Washington is called “the blob”?
The Substack blogger who styles himself as El Gato Malo offers the alluring theory that a SCOTUS ruling on whether the 14th Amendment clauses that were applied to the presidency in the Colorado case, could enable Special Counsel Jack Smith to slip-in a superseding indictment (replacing the original indictment) in his DC Jan 6 case against Mr. Trump with new insurrection / rebellion charges, thus setting-up a fortified argument for states to chuck Mr. Trump off any ballot. More “lawfare,” you see. Whatever it takes. . .!
More curiously even, we learn today, that an amicus brief has been filed in the SCOTUS by former Attorney General Ed Meese (under Ronald Reagan), and two constitutional law professors, Steven Calabresi and Gary S. Lawson, challenging the legality altogether of Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel for prosecuting Mr. Trump. The amicus is filed in the matter of Jack Smith’s certiorari petition to the court to schedule Mr. Trump’s DC trial the same day as the Super Tuesday primary —against the defendant’s objections. The amicus presents compelling arguments that Attorney General Merrick Garland acted illegally in appointing Mr. Smith, and if SCOTUS chucks him out of the special counsel job, the whole mendaciously constructed scaffold of the Jan 6 prosecution goes out the window, along with the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
Those of you with a deep interest in blob lawfare treachery may also be interested in the courtroom win, this week, by Brandon Straka, who launched the 2018 “Walk Away” movement to persuade gays to leave the Democratic Party. He was present on the US Capitol grounds the day of the Jan 6/21 riot, and was later sued by eight “black and brown” Capitol Police officers, with the help of a Soros-funded nonprofit law firm, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Straka was accused of causing the officers’ injuries (pepper spray and “exhaustion”) and of conspiring to deprive them of their civil rights (under the KKK Act of 1871). It came out in the course of testimony that seven of the officers were on the other side of the enormous Capitol building from Mr. Straka’s position the entire time alleged, and that one of the officers was not even present at the Capitol or even in the District of Columbia at the time. Such are the sordid dreams of lawfare warriors and their useful idiots. . . .
Next up, as we turn the corner into a fateful 2024 — and lately eclipsed by all these lawfare election interference shenanigans — will be the perhaps even more consequential hearings on the Biden family’s extensive international bribery operations, which may shed some light on how come we suffer a president and a party bent on destroying our country.
Without unconstitutional lawfare, censorship and election fraud, how will the Democrats maintain power?
By putting the interests of the common man over those of billionaires and their increasingly greedy corporations. By placing more importance on a woman’s individual right to control her reproductive and health care choices than on those of religious zealots. By taking a stand against bigots. By resisting the ambitions of aggressive foreign dictators. By protecting the air we breathe and the water we drink.
Funny, but they put greedy, corrupt, treasonous thieves in office through election fraud. Then they suppress the 1st Amendment and imprison political opponents.
Typical of dictatorships.
What do they all have in Common? They were all Gun Control Advocates
The left is absent any issues that perrito the people. They cannot defeat Trump electorally. They proved that in 2020. They will not defeat him in 2024.
Trump lost the 2020 election by nearly 8 million popular votes and 74 electoral college votes. He’s currently under indictment for his failed effort to retain office by fraud and mob violence. He’s done enormous damage to the hearts and minds of the nation, and will do more before it’s over.
No one in the history of America has done more damage than biden.
One of Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s “dreamers”.
No, he didn’t. He beat by about 20 million votes and swept all but the most leftist (and, thus, corrupt and failed) states. Democrats are destroying this nation.
“No, he didn’t. He beat by about 20 million votes and swept all but the most leftist (and, thus, corrupt and failed) states.”
You are insane.
If Biden won by 8 million votes, you shouldn’t mind him Trump running in 2024. With Biden’s outstanding record, he should win by twice that?
What are you afraid of?
FAFO
The “80 million votes” number has been the same the whole time. In contrast, you people have been continually making up a bigger number for Trump every couple of months. Just wait—along about February, Bill will be adamant that Trump won by 30 million votes. And he’ll believe it.
You people are absurd.
Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden never got 81 million votes.
Of course.
Ouch.
