The current situation over the Presidential Election of 2020 is the greatest test of our American system, which, if it doesn’t pass this test, our system of the Rule of Law, Checks and Balances, Freedom of Speech, and Democracy will be over.
As the book, THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF JAMES MADISON shows, our Founding was premised on the Christian appreciation of human weakness and sin, lust for power, corruption, and evil. Madison’s whole argument for Separation of Power and Pluralism in Federalist Paper #10 was that Freedom with Law and Justice could only be maintained if our Constitutional system checked “ambition against ambition,” pitting one branch of government against the other to prevent tyranny.
The widespread and systematic corruption of this Election will only be thoroughly exposed and corrected if that Madisonian pluralism works. At this point, the State elections, legislatures, courts, and governors have been compromised and the salutary check of a Free Press and debate weakened by media bias and censorship.
Only the United States Supreme Court can salvage our Republic now. As the Highest Authority, with Original Jurisdiction granted by the Constitution, only it can address this crisis in the American polity.
With the Court’s rules of evidence, adversarial system (hearing arguments from both sides) impartial judges and jury, only the United States Supreme Court can bring out a semblance of the truths of this complex Election controversy. All sides must see a fair, careful inquiry, and conclusion.
Otherwise, if the purportedly seamless web of fraud and corruption is allowed to stand, it will be institutionalized, and America will never have an honest election again. The Republic will be over. No one will ultimately benefit from the loss of popular sovereignty, freedom, rights, and dignity that this will entail.

What I don’t understand is that if the Constitution says that the SC will hear differences between the States, then how can they refuse to hear the case?
A little off topic, but speaking of James Madison and the Constitution here is a great movie if someone has a couple hours to kill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLhgYoeMMdw
The checks and balances have been heavily eroded by 100 years of Progressive philosophy.
Progressive philosophy says courts should decide cases on what they want to have happen, not on the law.
Lack of courage. Fear of mob. Fear that Deep State will make sure their life are ruined.
Simple answer - John Roberts....
I predict that history books will equate John Roberts with Benedict Arnold.
I already do equate John Roberts with Benedict Arnold.
History books? They will be produced by the state and cleansed. None of this fraud will ever be do umented. Hell, only 50% of the people now even know anything about it.
Like what happened on 9/11 is being taught? Mostly forgotten.
Because we’ve been letting them get away with this crap for years. The supreme court has been a joke for quite some time.
The article is correct in the sense that if biden is sworn in the republic is dead. Our system of checks and balances will have failed and we are no longer a free people.
Wrong! The Supreme Court is nothing more than one of three co-equal branches of govt. It is not going to stop the marxist takeover of the government. Neither is Congress. President Trump has sworn to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. It is his job to stop invasion, put down insurrection and ensure that every state has a republican form of government. I believe President Trump is aware of his duty and will carry it out.

It’s important to note that even at the time there was an old argument question of whether mankind was inherently good or evil?
This truly mattered, because government is believed an outgrowth of mankind, not determined in Heaven, as many Europeans had at one time believed.
The paradox is that those who believed mankind was inherently evil also believed that thus, government was evil. So the less government, the better.
Conversely, those who believed mankind was inherently good assumed that since mankind was good, government would also be good, so more government would be better.
However, the founding fathers had considered this and resolved that mankind was *neither* good nor evil, but was instead “weak”. And this resolution meant that the framework of our government had to take this into account.
They knew that written words are often not worth the paper they are printed on, but neither is the British way, of government by unwritten precedent. So instead they decided to make our government as “a masterpiece of balances.”
Most people know of the balance of the three branches of government. Fewer know of the balances within congress, between the more populist House and the more stable Senate, which balanced the people and the states.
Then there is the balance of federalism and anti-federalism, that has never been “resolved”, because it is not meant to be.
The list of constitutional balances goes on and on.
Did you miss when ALL of our elected AND appointed threw out the Constitution when they swore in Obama, who is NOT a natural born citizen?
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it.
SCOTUS already punted.
LOTUS gets one last chance.
If that fails, then that leaves POTUS to enforce the highest law of the land.
If that fails, then that leaves secession by States evading servitude, not preserving it.
“If the Constitution says that the SC will hear differences between the States“
It says they can hear them. It does not say that they must.
If you sue me in a district court, the court is not required to hear your suit even though it has jurisdiction. Whether or not your suit gets heard depends on a number of factors.
