Ode to the Constitution and the Common Man
American Thinker ^ | Dec 15, 2019 | Clarice Feldman

Attorney General William Barr is honest, very capable, and on his way to exposing the Deep State and its skullduggery in the 2016 election. It’s a time-consuming labor and it may well be late spring or early summer before we see the fruits of his and U.S. Attorney John Durham's work, but it’s coming. In the meantime several developments -- the Supreme Court’s action this week, and the overwhelming rejection of the UK’s Labour Party at the polls fill me with hope that our national nightmare -- the arrogance and stupidity of our political, academic, judicial, and journalist elites -- is also reaching bottom.

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court agreed this week to hear the president’s appeals of three cases on congressional and state oversight of the commander in chief.

There is no doubt in my mind that both the legislative and judicial branches of our government have overreached in trying to hamstring the president and these three cases should prove a benchmark on how far this nonsense will be allowed to continue. As Judge Neomi Rao argued in her dissent from a decision for a rehearing below: “The Constitution and our historical practice draw a sharp line between the legislative and judicial powers of Congress. By upholding this subpoena, the panel opinion has shifted the balance of power between Congress and the President and allowed a congressional committee to circumvent the careful process of impeachment.”...

Boris Topples Labour

If that news weren’t sufficient to cheer us up, the stunning victory of Boris Johnson and the Brexiters was a delight.

Melanie Phillips credits the British working class for a victory which Boris credits to “literally everyone from Woking to Workington. From Kensington, I’m proud to say, to Clwyd South. From Surrey Heath to Sedgefield. From Wimbleton to Wolverhampton.”...

“...fruits of his and U.S. Attorney John Durham’s work.”

“Fruits”, “investigations”, “reports”, etc., ad nauseum, mean *nothing*.

It’s been three years, and there are still no grand jury indictments when there should have been hundreds by now, going back to the Clinton years.

I recently read a remark that Hillary could go on national live television every night for a year, surrounded by her approving cronies, and bash a different young child to death with a claw hammer, and the Republicans would only launch an “investigation”.

Then two years after the “investigations”, the Republicans would finally come out with the statement, of “Let the voters decide, it’s too close to the election to do something.”

Perhaps it is time for there to be a third party, the “Indictments Party”.

Sign a false FISA application, change critical evidence in the application, lie to the investigation team and you are still walking free?

Barr is the deep state!

We are Charlie Brown.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was arrogance on the part of elites that they thought they could get away with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

It was the stupidity of voters that they succeeded.

No child of a foreign national is a natural born citizen.
They are born with divided citizenship, the very condition the founders were excluding.

If the House votes to impeach President Trump on grounds not authorized by the Constitution, its action, in the words of Hamilton, is void.

Clarice quoting Dersh. Maybe this is why Sen Graham is reticent about calling witnesses. How can you run a proper trial for an indictment about nothing, brought on by dirty prosecutors?

Clarice is right, it's been a great week on both ends of the pond. Can't wait until Nov 3 for the sequel to Operation Blowback.
