The Republic is Truly Dead
me

Posted on 12/12/2020 6:50:19 AM PST by bobbo666

According to 7 of the 9 SCOTUS judges, any number of states can brazenly violate the US constitution in order to achieve what political aims they favor – and no other state(s) can have leave to argue the issue before the premier federal court. Of course Texas has standing! If any state of a republic violates the laws (US constitution) that apply to all, any other state has standing to at least have a hearing – if not eventual justice.

Let’s say a neighbor does something obnoxious that not only violates local laws but impacts me – e.g., burning auto tires in his back yard – enveloping my house in smoke. What? Local “law enforcement” does nothing because he is politically connected? So, I can’t even go to ANY court for remedy?

What is the purpose of that court if not to hear disputes between states? If a state violates the US constitution where is that wrong redressed if not in SCOTUS?

Three presumably conservative judges; Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh apparently agreed with others that whatever happens in a state is only that state’s business, regardless of how it affects others. Apparently, they are no better at integrity than Roberts – with his re-writing of Obama care as a tax bill and then not returning it to the House in accordance with the constitution. Obviously, none of their oaths to uphold the constitution meant anything.

We are no longer a republic. We are now a single political entity with all orders issued by DC. And, we are expected/told to shut up.

Keep our ammo dry.
We WILL need it.

That is truly a dismal and scary prospect.

We are being shown the futility of continually putting our trust in the corrupted mechanisms of the, Republic.

Where can we put our trust? In the Rock of our salvation!

Psalm 71:3 "Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress."

That’s what’s got me, No Standing! The only place two states can go is to the Supreme Court. There should have been a hearing! But to bitch slap the State of Texas by say no standing is complete Bull shit.

The state constitution of Pennsylvania has absentee and illness voting restrictions I’ve read.

The state webpage said mail-in voting was allowed for all.

The Supreme Court has jurisdiction in cases involving states.

There are many aggrieved Republican lawyers who voted in the Pennsylvania election.

Exactly.

This war isn't over until we quit. And since it is our freedom that we will be fighting for, it will never be over until we win.

The suit should be brought by the repub legislators of the cheat States who’s power was usurped by their SoSs, AGs, governors, election boards and PA SC.

The legislators should have “standing”

"The Supreme Court was not going to let one state sue over the way another state conducted its election."

1) it wasn't "one state"...it was 20. 2) it was about "following the law", the ultimate point of the Constitution. Changes to the electoral process were made by other than the STATE legislature, which is the SOLE determinant of the STATE electoral process.

The key issue is due process.

Amendment V says we can not be deprived of liberty or property without due process.

Unless the next president is selected by due process, federal laws taking liberty or property should only be allowed to be enacted if passed by two-thirds of both houses.

Quote: “ so if Trump had won the election, and the dems were bringing a series of proceedings seeking to overturn it, you’d be equally incensed if they were denied standing by SCOTUS...?”

Could Trump really have won this “election?”

But rest assured, if he had, every court would have eagerly taken every case the democrats raised. The vote would have been 9-0 to take New York’s case against every swing state.

Democracy was just an illusion. Your vote never counted anyway.

Exactly! I'm one of those "disenfranchised" voters! My one legal vote was overridden by thousands of fraudulent, illegal votes!

Having the Supreme Court decide who the president should be is the essence of Democracy.

True, it is in God’s hands, always has been. That said, it is not over until Jan 20th. Patience , much can still happen. Of course, should Biden assume the office, I am of the opinion judgement begins on America. If the nation is brought to its knees, only then can Revival begin.

Compare this issue to slavery. Some states wanted it, and some states were adamant against it.

Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), often referred to as the Dred Scott decision, was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court in which the Court held that the US Constitution was not meant to include American citizenship for black people, regardless of whether they were enslaved or free, and so the rights and privileges that the Constitution confers upon American citizens could not apply to them.

Four years later, the Civil War began.
