The Court failed to protect our country in 2020. Maybe now the situation is urgent enough to make a difference.
Has the Supreme Court noticed that we’ve crossed a legal Rubicon? The Constitution — that thing the Court is supposed to defend — is becoming less relevant by the day because the left has decided that our mutual pact of self-governance doesn’t apply to leftists. They have weaponized our government against us — using it to surveil, silence, harass, and steal from us. Our own government is even arguing that the Constitution should not be a constraint on its operations — which is precisely what its purpose is.
Are the Supreme Court Justices beginning to realize that we are in crisis? Two recent cases indicate that they are awakening to that reality.
In Fischer v. United States, the court is considering the validity of using a financial statute to charge January 6 trespassers with obstruction of an official proceeding. During questioning, Justice Gorsuch asked, “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” He was referring to Democrat Jamaal Bowman, who pulled a fire alarm to prevent a congressional vote yet was not charged with “obstructing an official proceeding.” That was Gorsuch’s way of asking if something other than party affiliation determines who will face the greater jeopardy of obstruction charges. It was a sarcastic illustration of the decidedly unequal system of justice the DoJ is currently practicing.
In Trump v. United States, the Court is considering whether Donald Trump has immunity for actions taken while he was president. The DoJ argued that the motive for presidential actions should determine whether immunity applies and that the discretion and good motivations of DoJ attorneys should be trusted to make that determination (try not to laugh).

Yep. The left has weaponized government and used it against the people they are supposed to serve (not service).
On the topic of Student Loans —
The House said Biden couldn’t cancel them.
The Senate said Biden couldn’t cancel them.
The Supreme Court said Biden couldn’t cancel them.
Biden keeps cancelling them.
What’s the fix for that?
And why would anyone think that the on-going persecution of Donald Trump is going to stop?
May as well pack up and go home. They are useless.
The lack of anything resembling timeliness renders the court disgracefully useless to thousands of people who die while awaiting justice.
We need a new law: “Any President who cancels without express legal authority loan owed to the United States shall be liable for such cancelled loan.”
After the election, in which an unprecedented number of irregularities occurred, Texas (and several other states) petitioned the Supreme Court to adjudicate the issues. But the court ruled that since the irregularities hadn’t occurred in Texas, citizens of Texas were not harmed, and the state therefore lacked standing to file suit.
The author of this piece apparently has no comprehension of how elections — especially presidential elections — are designed to work. The LAST thing anyone writing for a conservative publication should be calling for is Federal courts exercising authority over elections across the nation.

The defender of the constitution SCOTUS should be held responsible for all that is befalling our nation. When the shoe drops ,their will nothing protecting them along with countless politicians. If they don’t stop the persecution of Donald Trump, the country will explode and we will be fighting, not only amongst ourselves, but against foreign adversaries, that our own government released upon us. Heaven help the U.S.A..
The primary function of the Court is to provide a Judicial check and balance on the Legislative and Executive branches of the government.
They failed to do their duty in 2020 and allowed a fraudulently elected President to take control of the country.
The last few years have seen a nation wide assault on the rule of law in the country that is so bad that if Biden wins this election we effectively are done as a country.
We have seen that in the past, when the furor over “civil rights” and voter discrimination led the courts to oversee congressional districting within states. No evidence it ever helped anything, but gave a lot of shysters job security and protected some democrat congressmen.
“Any President who cancels without express legal authority loan owed to the United States shall be liable for such cancelled loan.”
If the mayor of a city hands me $20 in city funds without legal authorization, he might be made to reimburse the city as well as made to face a criminal charge.
“Our own government is even arguing that the Constitution should not be a constraint on its operations.”
That has been the expressed goal of the Progs since the formation of their movement: “It’s absurd that the best and brightest need to be constrained.”
Their hubris knows no bounds. Our founders, knowing human nature does not restrain itself, tried to protect us from it.
It. Is. Now. Up. To. Us.
If the constitution no longer applies, then fire them. That lifetime tenure only applies if the constitution applies.

It’s all lawlessness now. After 2020, they don’t have to answer to anybody. The SCOTUS missed the opportunity to restore government to the people by refusing the original jurisdiction lawsuit. The fix for an illegal POTUS is impeachment. The fix for illegal voting is the States. The fix for the Federal government is getting rid of income tax and moving to Tariffs and States collecting ‘per head’ tax for the Federal government.
“They failed to do their duty in 2020 and allowed a fraudulently elected President to take control of the country.”
The horse had already run off.
Mail-in voting is in violation of international law which requires a secret ballot. It should only be allowed when a person could not otherwise vote.
The secret ballot was created to prevent people from selling their vote (and to prevent fisticuffs at polling places when people went to vote obviously partisan ballots).
“What’s the fix for that?”
Dear Joseph Biden:
You (and your spouse) owe the government about $30 billion.
Expect any estate of yours to be seized.

>> In almost every case, the U.S. Supreme Court is the very last appellate court in a long legal process.
Considering that we’re at the eleventh hour of viability of the republic... maybe it’s time for the USSC to make the emergency writ exceptions more of a rule?
Or maybe We The People getting fed up and taking extralegal “correction” of the corrupt deep state into our own hands might be the wakeup call that pushes the court to proactively do its job?
“For the times they are a-changin’...”
“congressional districting”
Districts could be based on last names, they don’t have to be physical.
Legislatures waste too much time and effort on defining districts.
