Sorry, Trump Protestors: This Is What Democracy Looks Like

“This is what democracy looks like!” That was my favorite chant during the anti-war protests I participated in my senior year of high school in 2004. Twelve years later, the same folks I marched down Sixth Avenue with protesting outside the Fox News building are back at it, protesting the victory of Donald Trump.

I’ve got some bad news for the thousands of my former comrades marching through the streets: You saw what democracy looks like on Tuesday night. The election of Donald J. Trump was perhaps unfortunate from your perspective (and truthfully, mine), but he is now our president, and there are no do-overs in a democracy.

Exactly Mr. Douglas. That so many people don’t understand that, or what it means may be a symptom of the ignorance among our public teachers and the clever propagandists dictating our curriculum. The popular difference came mostly from states where bundles of absentee ballots were shipped to addresses wherein the residents are old, or haven’t participated in a while.

We need to used this opportunity, which we only have because of Trump and the brilliant anticipation of our framers who created an electoral college so that we have electors who are informed, and those upon whom we all depend in the middles states are not stepped upon by “democrachy”, mob rule. One, in Washington state I believe, refused to cast a vote for Hillary. Today, a fact I wonldn’t have understood without Krisanne’s talk a few days ago, Electors are controlled by political parties, private “clubs” that our founders and framers were uniformly very concerned with. Electors should be appointed by legislators, not political power brokers.

I was ignorant of many of the amazing provisions that constitute our legal foundation, I’ll share the most accessible teacher I’ve come across - one who came from the naïve far left, and in whose family “Republican” was an epithet. She is a biochemist, army intelligence (Russian signals intelligence)officer, attorney and a prosecutor for ten years, until a handsome Naval intelligence officer, also a Russian linguist who happened to be a Baptist minister. Find krisannehall.com and use it as a reference. You may not agree with her targets but her daily programs are citation-filled and start before the 1100 charter of Liberties, and filled with Madison and Jefferson and our other founders and framers, along with Federalist and Antifederalist Papers.

Read or listen to her crystalline explanation of the origins of the Electoral College, including her opinion that it’s amendment was a mistake. She has a daily radio program and charges nothing for lecturing groups (which she does some 270 days each year, delivering her radio program from hotel rooms or Haiti, where her husband has a ministry. She lectures state legislatures. No surprise that few politicians accurately cite laws correctly and more often don’t understand our Constitution.

Krisanne is a treasure for opening up the legal principles most people don’t understand, Her knowledge of our legal foundations has been a contrasts to the “opinions” I’ve heard from my law school faculty friends citing irrelevant and often erroneous interpretations of the Constitution. They are all very comfortable, which may explain the groupthink explanations that no longer surprise me.

Original sources may not be easy to find, and John Podesta did his part to hide and corrupt the records of Scotus cases using active “munging” of cases referred to by Google partner, Justia.com. That corruption of the law is one symptom of the “Swamp” of government largess and pay-to-play. We need to find trustworthy experts and Krisanne Hall, certainly inspired by her preacher husband, doesn’t sound as cultured as some (like Diana West, one of my heroines), but is brilliant. Listen for a while and you will realize that she makes the connections that betray intelligence.

While I’m not a religious person, I believe the core principles are our learned wisdom. Krisanne does not preach. She shares he knowledge of legal foundations not taught in law school - knowledge of the legal foundations, particularly constitutional law. Pardon an obscure explanation, but when I took graduate course in quantum mechanics I was amazed to discover that my peers had no understanding of the domain, Hilbert space, used to build the tools in which many of them would become professors. Krisanne would have learned what a Hilbert space was. Few lawyers learn the Constitution because it isn’t taught. Today law students base their reasoning upon case law, which is frequently badly reasoned. Krisanne has the mind to ask why, and learned and now teaches foundations which we should all understand because those principles led to the civil war we call our revolution.

I doubt she will ever seek political power. Her opinions are about the law. Few politicians understand or will dare mention “enumerated rights” - the 9th and 10th Amendments. Krisanne does explain and cite the intention of their framers, which would eliminate most all of our federal agencies. I recommend you stop wasting time with pundits and replace most of them with thirty minutes of Krisanne, on YouTube or her podcasts. There are some provisions we might consider amending, but Krisanne will explain, with no hyperbole, why the government needs to become our employee, and the federal government doesn’t “own” state land, and the president’s role should again be limited to foreign affairs, commander in chief AFTER and only AFTER congress has declared war, and on and on...
