Howdy y’all. Yes, I am sure many of you are still reeling from the events of last Saturday in Butler, PA. I find it unconscionable that a rooftop within 150 yards, having a direct line of sight to a stage where a former President and presidential nominee was speaking, was being left uncovered. There are so many questions that remain unanswered.
However, the topic of this missive focuses (notice I did not use the Biden reference of bullseye) on the 93-page decision issued on Monday from US District Judge Aileen Cannon. She ruled that the DoJ-appointed special counsel, Jack Smith, was unconstitutional based upon the Appointments Clause of the US Constitution. Needless to say, the progressive socialist left is in an apoplectic meltdown.
Just to inform you, our astute readers, the Appointments Clause is found in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution. It reads, “He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”
The “He” refers to the President of the United States since Article II of the Constitution enumerates the powers granted to the Executive Branch. The bottom line is that as part of our system of checks and balances, the Congress, namely here, the US Senate, has a role in these appointments. As well, Judge Cannon ruled that Smith’s elevation violated proper appropriations since the American taxpayer was footing the bill for his “lawfare.” And there had been no lawful appropriation of such; this is a sound constitutional ruling…but that means nothing to the left.
The left in America, ya know, the folks who say everybody that disagrees with them is a threat, does not believe in the rule of law. They only want rule, and will achieve such by judicial activism. When a court gives them what they want, it’s hoorah. When a court constitutionally denies them what they want, then it is all about stacking the SCOTUS or viciously attacking a jurist. Let us not forget the assassination plot against Justice Kavanaugh. And I am quite sure there are plenty of threats being levied against Judge Cannon, the least of which is demanding her removal from the bench.
But, when a judge does what the left wants, in complete violation of the law, like New York Judge Juan Merchan? Well, I remember a leftist pundit on MSNBC speaking as to how he had a “man crush” on Judge Merchan…hmm, I guess that is a Democrat thing. Judge Merchan should have recused himself from the Trump NY trial; he did not. Judge Merchan refused to allow exculpatory evidence and testimony. Judge Merchan delivered such confusing verbal orders to the jury, basically telling them to find Trump guilty by way of the Golden Corral buffet of charges. And we have seen the same in other leftist jurists, such as the one who presided over NYAG Letiticia James’ confounding trial of Donald Trump, Judge Arthur Engoron…funny, his name rhymes with “moron.”
I think if anyone were to do a “man on the street” interview, reference these two cases and ask the walker what was the crime, they would not be able to answer. Well, I can. The crime was, it is Donald Trump, ya know, that authoritarian, dictatorial threat to democracy. And no, the leftists are not going to “tamp down the temperature.” They can’t help themselves.
Considering this whole Trump documents case, Joe Biden was found guilty by the Robert Hur investigation of illegally possessing classified documents going back to his being a U.S. Senator. But for some odd reason, the rule of law does not apply because, as Hur stated, Biden is basically too senile to remember and would gather jury sympathy…soooo, my bad! And the investigation interview recordings? Well, Biden and his DoJ henchman, Merrick Garland, are blocking the release. Biden has claimed executive privilege. See, when it comes to the left and their desire to rule, it is acceptable. If Donald Trump has even thought about the same, well, you know the answer.
The left was all happy with the SCOTUS on their very disconcerting ruling on the government censorship case. Then, the left went into deranged mode with the presidential immunity case decision. Hmm, hey Democrats, be careful because Barack Obama could be taken to court over the Operation Fast and Furious debacle that ended up causing U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry to lose his life. Or perhaps the parents of those 13 killed in Afghanistan, whom Joe Biden forgot at the debate, could bring a lawsuit against him for his decision?
The bottom line is that the left is blinded towards the law because first, they hate Donald Trump, and second, they want to rule…not govern.
If we are to Live Free in these United States of America, a Constitutional Republic, then we had best not enable leftists to be in a position of power. History has taught us what leftism/Marxism is all about, and as King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, there is truly nothing new under the sun. Wise King Solomon also said in Ecclesiastes 10:2 (New International Version), “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”
That is what I call a mic drop!
Steadfast and Loyal.
