There is a story out today, supposedly leaked by a whistleblower, that the Supreme Court passed on hearing the Texas complaint involving tainted elections at the behest of Chief Justice John Roberts.
According to the recounting of the events, Roberts was screaming so loud at other justices that he could be heard outside the closed-door room.
Robert’s supposed warning: “Are you going to be responsible for the rioting if we hear this case?”
And so we have apparent confirmation of what has been written here for some time, that even the people in charge, who know this election was questionable, just don’t have the intestinal fortitude to right the wrongs, to enforce our Constitution.
They are cowed by the Antifa and Black Lives Matter crowd. They fear the cancel culture. They bow to the mob, which begs the question of why we need such people to be in positions of authority?
Texas and the raft of states who signed on to the Supreme Court argument, had a case based on constitutional dictates. The U.S. Supreme Court is supposed to consider such differences between the states, with the Constitution as the guide.
But the Supreme Court passed on its duty, perhaps due to fear of the outcome in terms of societal strife.
Conservatives apparently are going to keep getting abused and cheated up to the time when they also take to the streets to get the attention of the powers-that-be.
But it would not be enough to match the violence of the left. The political right would need to top the actions of the left to get the attention of the people who matter.
This is an argument distilled nicely in dialogue from the 1997 movie “The Untouchables” as voiced by Sean Connery’s character; “They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!”
Antifa and all other manner of violent radical leftist groups discovered that they can get their demands met by making life difficult, particularly in cities led by weak-kneed liberals who only get concerned when rioting or autonomous zones come to their neighborhoods – witness actions of the mayors of Seattle and Portland.
If you watched any national news ahead of the election, you saw storefronts being boarded up in case the election went the wrong way – read that as in case Trump won and the leftists were not prepared to accept that.
Instead, we have Biden apparently winning. But there is no rioting from disaffected conservatives and Trump supporters. Yet.
Maybe there will not be any. But I would not bet on it.
There is anger among the 74 million or so who voted for Trump and are at a loss to understand how they see evidence upon evidence of election misdeeds, yet no government action is being taken to correct, or even fully investigate the situation.
State judicial representatives and state legislatures have done little. Governors of questioned states also have been doing their best to ignore, or make token efforts at resolution.
Now the Supreme Court has taken a see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil approach even to considering what arguably is the case that could be pivotal to the future of this nation.
I have written often that doing the right thing requires the kind of strength our wimpy leaders do not display.
The internet remains alive with speculation about what actions a frustrated President Trump might take in order to bring the alleged election fraud into the open since others below him have passed on their duty, including the U.S. Department of Justice.
It would surprise me if such dramatic action by Trump transpired, but it would not disappoint me.
Founding Father Thomas Jefferson recognized there would be points in the future of this nation when dramatic action would be needed to preserve freedom.
Said Jefferson: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots, and tyrants.”
