My question to the federal government in these troubled times is simple: who stands for me? The Congress doesn't, the president and his administration don't, and the Supreme Court doesn't. The FBI, DOJ, CIA, and Armed Forces don't! Who represents me? The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are under constant assault by the current congressional leadership. Some may suggest that many in our current government do not give a wit about the rights and protections afforded to the American people by our founding documents.
This great Republic was founded on the principle of the consent of the governed. Millions of us did not give our consent for the events of the last few months, yet the left, the swamp, the Deep State, and Big Tech increase in power and are often pure evil. Where is the 25th Amendment? Who protects our borders against criminals and illegals? Who in the Senate or House majority believes in the Bill of Rights as written? Current legislation goes unchecked by any freedom-loving entity or individuals. Will the speaker or majority leader round up anyone who disagrees with the party line and put us all in camps (or worse)? (Who would have ever thought that our Capitol would be surrounded by armed troops?)
What's more distasteful is that, once elected, congressional members most likely have a job for life with a platinum retirement plan (voted in and approved by future congressional retirees!). The job in Congress, as envisioned by the Founders, was never meant to be permanent or long-term.
This nation cannot survive this current administration. From 2016 to 2020, POTUS 45 worked to ensure that all American were safe, secure, and able to enjoy the American dream. Biden's faux call for national unity quickly reversed all the gains realized during President Trump's term.

Posted without comment. I really don’t have more to add.
Yup. Where are all the FBI bootlckers om FR lately? They have gone strangely silent.
Chief Justice nominee John Roberts said Thursday there is no room for ideologues on the Supreme Court, declaring an “obligation to the Constitution” and to no other cause as he concluded three grueling days of confirmation testimony.
“If the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy’s going to win in court before me,” Roberts told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy’s going to win.”
Maybe he is the one. (sarc)
One begins to think that doing battle in the “arena of ideas” may not be the proper venue for such a confrontation....and perhaps, considering our foe, it never was.
...just musing...
This is it. If we don’t figure how to stand up and speak up we will be destroyed.
You seem to be quoting from something that happened several years ago.
Answer: No one
Nobody.
We need a new country this one is broken and fubared.
The republic is dead.
Please, God, let this just be an interregnum.
I think the DS had Judge Scalia killed so that Roberts would be in control of the Supreme Court. Now they want voting bills so people will forget about 2020 election fraud. They will claim it’s all fixed. They had to cheat so much to keep President Trump out of office it was too obvious. They have been cheating for years.
Yes, I should have dated that. It was his confirmation in 2005. We are seeing the hollowness of those words now from him.
No one, we the people are on our own.
What is needed is a strong conservative leader with name recognition and lotsa $$$ to step up and lead.
I know how stupid that sounds, but entertain it for just a moment.
The ferrule gubbamint has passed laws on top of laws on top of laws that are meant to box citizens in.
Our founding documents, Federal!st papers, and personal writings by a variety of our founders instruct us in what should be our course.
Unless there is a nationwide movement, funding, logistics and cohesion in that movement, ya don’t stand a chance against a feder@l behemoth.
Look at what has happened to those at the capit0l. One by one. Those black clad boyz with all their shiny toyz come a knockin at 4am. Picked them off...one by one.
They do this to show folks...you are at our mercy. We WILL make an example of you.
So far it appears that another fight for The Constitution may be required with the way our so called leadership are handling things the weak never live long.
The short answer is no one.
