Even Republican Presidents Would Seem to Have a Right to Free Speech

The Supreme Court deals the congressional enemies of Donald Trump a setback.

It seems to me that the point of the superpartisan congressional January 6 Commission is to tar former president Donald Trump with inciting a riot (“insurrection” for the hyperbolic), an issue they raised and lost in the second impeachment battle. Perhaps they hope to persuade the Department of Justice to institute some cooked-up criminal charges against him for his comments on January 6. If I’m right about their objective, this week the Supreme Court in an unanimous opinion seems to have dealt them a setback.

The Trump remarks on January 6, 2020

Here are the words in tweets and before an open assembly of his supporters that most set off his political enemies. They are clearly the words of an elected official critical of some other elected officials and urging a legislative remedy.

"States want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud, plus corrupt process never received legislative approval. All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!"

“We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.”

He asked the attendees to "walk down" to the Capitol to "cheer on our brave senators." and to "fight like hell" because if they didn't, they wouldn't "have a country anymore." (He did this in the context of an effort to persuade the vice-president to delay the electoral vote count until the legislatures in the contested states could more fully consider the claims of vote fraud).

Trump tweeted Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done."

The left does not seem embarrassed that their investigations have been shown to be hoax after hoax after hoax.

Have you not read Alinsky Rules for Radicals. The idea is CONSTRANT UNREMITTING PRESSURE. Not truth. Just ruination.

“The short form precis of this decision is that elected officials are free to criticize each other under the Constitution.”
