Take heart, dear reader.
While it is excruciating to endure the latest political crisis manufactured by Democrats and the leftwing news media, I advise a different approach.
Smile. Laugh. Cackle like Kamala.
Why? The absurd flag-flying scandal, undoubtedly annoying to Justice Samuel Alito and his family, is all the proof we need that decisions pending at the U.S. Supreme Court will not go the Democrats’ way.
And it is killing them to the point of debasement and emotional immolation.
Yay!
Two critical questions before the court will determine whether Donald Trump faces trial in Washington, D.C. this year on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment related to the events of January 6. In April, the court heard arguments as to whether a former president is immune from criminal prosecution for his conduct in office and whether the Department of Justice unlawfully applied 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2), obstruction of an official proceeding, against roughly 350 January 6 defendants.
That count also represents half of Smith’s indictment in Washington.
During the separate proceedings, a majority of justices appeared poised to deliver a defeat to the DOJ on both questions. Alito specifically cited January 6 in one exchange with U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who represented the DOJ in Fischer v USA, the 1512(c)(2) case, on April 16.
In an attempt to clarify which sort of political protests would be covered under the obstruction statute and which would not, Alito proposed a hypothetical to Prelogar:
“So we've had a number of protests in the courtroom. Let's say that today, while you're arguing…five people get up, one after the other, and they shout either ‘Keep the January 6th insurrectionists in jail’ or ‘Free the January 6th patriots.’ And as a result of this, our police officers have to remove them forcibly from the courtroom and let's say we have to -- it delays the proceeding for five minutes. So would that be a violation of 1512(c)(2)?”
When Prelogar answered no, Alito pressed further, noting that the statute’s language sweeps in attempts to “impede” an official proceeding, not just obstruct. He also pointed to the government’s double-standard in applying the law. ‘[For] all the protests that have occurred in this Court, the Justice Department has not charged any serious offenses, and I don't think any one of those protestors has been sentenced to even one day in prison,” Alito told her........
And the RINOs funded a new HQ building for a new FIB HQ.
Obama showed that Roberts and SCOTUS could be intimidated to save Obamacare. Democrats made note and tried to intimidate the judges over Dobbs and now J6. Roberts weakness encouraged this tactic.
This is exactly what I said this morning. This nontroversy as well as the Wide Latina saying she boo hoo hoos over some decisions the SCOTUS makes is a sure sign of a bunch of decisions coming out soon that the Left ain’t gonna like one bit.
Is the ‘wise latinx’ crying?
Now you know if Kagen flew a liberal cause flag there would be calls from us for recusal in certain cases.
I don’t know. With only two real conservatives, three radical leftists and four wishy washy Justices, all led by an easily manipulated and weak Chief Justice, anything is possible.
Stop picking on Alito! Those that do are in for a fierce verbal pummeling.
Lol. The RATs, who stomp on and burn US flags, are upset about how Alito’s are flown. Lolol.
