Facing Up To the Revolution
American Greatness ^ | 4 Feb 2020 | Angelo Codevilla

Posted on 02/05/2020 7:23:39 AM PST by Rummyfan

Our ultimate objective, unlike that of our enemies, is “peace among ourselves and with all nations.” But what kind of peace we may get depends on the extent to which we may compel our enemies to leave us in peace. And for that, we must do unto them more and before they do unto us.

Some conservatives, rejoicing that impeachment turned into yet another of #TheResistance’s political train wrecks and that President Trump is likely to be reelected by a bigger margin than in 2016, expect that a chastened ruling class will return to respecting the rest of us. They are mistaken.

Trump’s reelection, by itself, cannot protect us. The ruling class’s intolerance of the 2016 election’s results was intolerance of us.

The ruling class’s intolerance of the 2016 election’s results was intolerance of us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s all about the largest bipartisan project of the last 30 years, the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.
President Trump threatens that and sides with the citizens, the rule of law and the Constitution.
We weren’t supposed to be able to elect ANYONE who would help us keep our country.
They had US in a box voting for amnesty candidate R or amnesty candidate D for decades.

Libs have run out of all but communist ideas, and they know they can't sell those to the electorate. All they have left is their anti-Trump platform. It's kind of like the platform George McGovern had in his campaign against Richard Nixon. And look what happened to him ... and the Democrats.

It will never change until parents get back control of the schools.

Get rid of one anti-American lib in government and the position is immediately filled by another.

All of us who have a wild-eyed lib in our family realize the bad influence of our schools.

The schools and the press......major causes.

Excellent article by the well informed Tony Codevilla.

One of the focuses is on the deficiency of the legal system; on the Supreme Court; and individually on John Roberts. Tony suggests the problem is general direction from the underlying political forces rather than outright corruption of Roberts. I respectfully disagree.

Roberts is one of he ultimate examples of political corruption at the highest levels.

No doubt--Roberts has and had no real excuse for his refusal to put Rand Paul's question on the record--as the issue was postured, it didn't really violate even the underlying limitation since the presumed whistle blower was not identified to that role.

A look at Roberts' history is informative. For example his decisions on ObamaCare and King v. Burwell. His decisions on both were simply wrong and fly in the face of established legal precedent and authority--and yes, I am a US Constitutional Law expert.

There is an underlying inside DC gossip about the real leverage the Establishment has over Roberts. Roberts and his wife have only two children--brother and sister adopted in the international baby market under circumstances where there may be some legal doubt as to the efficacy of the process and thus to the Roberts' custody of the children.

If the gossip leverage speculation is wrong, the light of day would immediately dispel its validity and when we don't see that, we can reach our own conclusions as to its validity.

The Obama situation itself is another clear example of corruption at the highest level of the legal system.

There is no doubt that there is no theory under which Obama was the legal President of the United States. The only admissible legal evidence of his ancestral birth history are his many statements against interest in political campaigns and official biographies that he was born in Kenya (which he was almost certainly not). Those statements are directly admissible as evidence which would force Obama in a litigation context to disclose the true facts.

Justice Kagan, in her testimony to Senate Judiciary which was the basis for her confirmation, committed that she would recuse herself from Supreme Court consideration of any issue in connection with ObamaCare on the grounds that she was conflicted. She should be impeached over her breach of that commitment as well as removed from the Court because she was not appointed by a "President" as required by the Constitution.

Sotomayor should also be removed from the Court on the later grounds.

Roberts contributes to all of the deterioration of the system and his continued position as well as his conduct in the recent proceedings highlights the effect of his ultimate corruption.

“But what kind of peace we may get depends on the extent to which we may compel our enemies to leave us in peace. And for that, we must do unto them more and before they do unto us.”

And we must get rid of our own enemy within - the Romneys, the Collins...

“All of us who have a wild-eyed lib in our family “

Time to choose.

I dumped my left wing parasites long ago. Couldn’t imagine anyone putting up with that crap anymore.

Don’t miss’em one bit.

Neither does any other member of the family.

Roberts is one of the ultimate examples of political corruption at the highest levels.

Let's take that somewhat bold statement as a fact that could be acted on at a point in the next few years (far better IMO than having allowed Obama to name his replacement).

The refusal by Roberts to read a question from the Senate and his following silence was, in the event, stunning; and even more so after the question was made public. By the better view, prior to making any comment about the question, an impartial CJ would have invited a motion to recess for the purpose of conferring with the principals.

One reason that he didn’t and might have an excuse for not reading the question is that the principals, excepting perhaps Senator Paul, had previously conveyed to the CJ that there was no interest whatsoever in discussing the WB issue, as McConnell seemed to remind Roberts prior to the question.

If so, in your opinion is it possible that Roberts, if asked to account, could produce a writing or other credible evidence of such an agreement? R voters, of course, would be very displeased to learn their party chose to not pursue such a relevant and damning point.

Well that's very insightful.

I am getting fuzzy because I have heard a direct recounting from someone who had actual floor knowledge of what happened and I can't recount it exactly.

Senator Paul had the right to respond to Roberts' ruling by appealing it to the floor where a 51-49 vote would have either overruled Roberts or sustained the ruling.

I think that what I understood happened is that the Majority Leader informed Paul that if he moved to appeal the chair's ruling, he didn't have the votes to overrule the Chief Justice and thus that the Majority Leader preferred not to recognize Paul for such a motion.

When you do, please share it; your words on these pages are very much appreciated.
