Today’s Political Mob Has Consequences, Veteran Jurist Warns
The Daily Signal ^ | February 25, 2020 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 2/27/2020, 1:27:20 AM by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Retired federal judge Janice Rogers Brown warned Tuesday about the perils of the mob that views politics as all important and ignores objective truth.

President Donald Trump has had to contend with a fired-up “resistance” of political opposition that will not recognize his presidency as legitimate, Brown suggested.

“Prior to the 2016 election, America had a cherished tradition of peacefully transferring power. No riots in the streets. No military coups. George Washington himself set the standard,” Brown said. “However, we now know elections have consequences only when the correct candidate is elected.”

Brown, who served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia from 2005 to 2017, was the honored speaker at The Heritage Foundation’s third annual Jay A. Parker Reception and Lecture.

“Dubbing themselves the resistance, apparently with no sense of irony and perhaps unaware they were doing exactly what the White Citizens’ Council did when the decision in Brown v. Board of Education was announced, the disappointed in 2017 announced that Trump was ‘not their president,’” she said.

Brown, 70, recalled that segregationists used the term “resist.”

"I am old enough to remember the black bumper stickers with white lettering that said, ‘Resist,’ the rioters that took to the streets to prevent a tiny black girl from entering the sacrosanct precinct of Little Rock’s white elementary school, and the public officials who blocked the doorways."

The tactics used by the resistance aren’t new, she said.

“Long before the era of civil rights, Abraham Lincoln decried the mobocratic spirit he feared would destroy the republic, that last best hope on earth,” she said.

Brown praised Jay A. Parker, who died in 2015 at 78, as a founding father of the emerging black conservative movement.

Trump will get a second term.

The left will riot.

Prepare for it and give it back to them with purpose.

A fantastic interview on American Thought Leaders with Bob Woodson, founder of the 1776 project, a project to counteract the untruths and dangerous philosophies of the 1619 project, which has the potential to be the finsal blow to undermine and destroy our country, by promoting victim class warfare and destruction of the black communities once and for all.

Even if the left manages to steal the election, they’ll still riot.

This is why Trump is entitled to a third term after we put the Resisters in prison after the next election.

Author was probably sleeping through the 2000 "Sore Loserman" festivities.

I always liked her when she was a federal appellate judge. Was she actually offered a seat on the Supreme Court?

“Was she actually offered a seat on the Supreme Court?”

She was “under consideration” but made it clear she wasn’t interested.

Which is too bad. She’d have made Dem heads explode during the confirmation.

Her race and gender didn’t stop the Democrats from filibustering her when Bush nominated her for the DC Circuit the first time. It took the threat of the “nuclear option” and the Gang of 14 compromise to get her confirmed the second time around.

The left has nothing but contempt for black conservatives.

Fine lady, but she saw what Clarence Thomas had to go through nd figured she did not have such a thick skin. 70 is a young age to retire for a federal judge, so she obviously thought it through.
