I am morbidly fascinated by watching both the hyper-liberals and the libertarians citing the Constitution in such a way as to make it a suicide pact.
I don't think the founders intended it to be a suicide pact.
I am pretty sure they intended to create a nation and government that would survive forever.
But, no, the people who want to have and keep political power are willing to kill it just to keep the other guy from winning.
I am waiting for the day when either Congress strips district judges of any jurisdiction outside of their district, SCOTUS slaps this insanity down in perpetuity, or Trump simply begins arresting and imprisoning federal judges for judicial overreach, and holds them all like J6 defendants, without trial, indefinitely. Sauce for the gander and all that.
ReplyDeleteAny one of these outcomes will be hilarious, and the point at which the real screaming and frothing will start.
Why any sitting president would sit still for some unelected black-robed jack@$$ to try and hamstring the election decision of 77,000,000 voters, and why any federal judge would think they had that power, is beyond me, and until somebody slaps them back into their place, we don't have a republic, we have a tyranny of the judiciary with delusions of grandeur.
That typically leads to draconian pendulum swings in response, and the judicial branch never wins that contest.
If he wants to play hardball, Trump could simply withdraw all executive branch support, and order all federal law enforcement to abandon the federal courts, and let them take their chances with no security.
Things would get sporty very quickly, and there's nothing the federal judiciary could do in response except cower at home.
