What are the new SCOTUS justices thinking? The new justices have to be aware that our United States Constitution is under attack. Yet they do nothing.

There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

—Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act 4, Scene 3

The new SCOTUS justices have to be aware that our United States Constitution is under attack, not just from anarchists, but also from numerous politicians and the media.  Freedom of speech, the right to own a weapon, and property rights are all being attacked, and to a fundamental degree, our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is being increasingly denied.  There has been extreme violence in several of our major cities, which does not meet even token resistance from their governors and mayors.  Lives have already been lost.  In addition, the rioting has destroyed numerous businesses, thereby destroying property and denying liberty and pursuit of happiness for those business-owners.

There is a report that the chief justice, John Roberts, is afraid of inciting riots and said he would tell the other justices how to vote.  Considering John Roberts's actions in the past that appeared to be politically motivated, he may well be concerned that a SCOTUS ruling could incite violence.  His determination to uphold the Constitution seems to be weak at best.  However, the older conservative justices, Alito and Thomas, proved that they were willing to hear cases about the fraudulent election when they dissented in the Texas v. Pennsylvania, et al. case.  So why wouldn't the new SCOTUS justices follow the lead of Alito and Thomas, especially when the issue of free and fair elections is so vital to our Constitution?

You are not allowed to be even a local judge without knowing to whom the rules do not apply.

That is why there are confirmation hearings. To ensure the “right” judge gets the seat.

Now play it forward to the SCOTUS. Why would the swamp let ANYONE they can’t control near the most powerful body in the United States? Remember a lot of Obama’s picks are not exactly making libs happy.

I would not be at all surprised about them being threatened either. We have no real legal system any more because of this.

We have no evidence that the USSC is not still relevant to the Deep State globalists, so it is akin to having the knights taken off the chess board—or maybe even the queen—of only one player. That makes it more relevant (in a negative way) than ever.

There is no way in Hades these justices aren’t aware the Supreme Court will be packed. They are standing for the total demise of this country.

Yes. The extreme left/ Commie/ Nazis took over, bought up, the D party machine by the time they foisted off the ( ineligible) Obama on us. And they’ve continued to operate as a Commie type front group ever since. It’s certainly not your grandaddy’s old D party anymore — and it’s very dangerous

We have learned that the emperor has no clothes. There are many weaklings, duplicitous sots, quislings and traitors. Pathetic beyond pathetic.

For quite awhile, I've been questioning what Supreme Court justices who regard themselves as conservative are actually being taught in post-FDR era law schools.

It wouldn't be surprising if many FReepers have a better understanding of the intentions of Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) delegates as enumerated in the Constitution than today's so-called conservative, but otherwise institutionally indoctrinated Supreme Court justices do imo. This is because FReepers see the writings of previous generations of respected constitutional experts like Presidents James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, also Justice Joseph Story.

It's been pointed out on FRee Republic that Justice Joseph Story had explained, in his 19th century Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, a time capsule that would enable future generations of Americans to better understand how the clauses of the young Constitution, at least through the Bill of Rights (correction welcome), are best interpreted.

Regarding the recent Texas v. Pennsylvania appeal which the Court wrongly decided not to hear imo, Justice Story had clarified the intentions of the delegates to the Con-Con for the “state v. state clause” in the Constitution’s Article III, Section 2, Clause 1 (3.2.1).

"Article III, Section 2, Clause 1: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States [emphasis added];—between a State and Citizens of another State; -- between Citizens of different States, --between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects."

Based on the history of conflicts between original colonies, Story had explained that the states v. state clause of 3.2.1 was made to obligate the Court to unconditionally (my word) give conflicted states a last resort to try to settle their differences to avoid the sword.

§ 1674. "Under the confederation, authority was given to the national government, to hear and determine, (in the manner pointed out in the article,) in the last resort, on appeal, all disputes and differences between two or more states concerning boundary, jurisdiction, or any other cause whatsoever [!!! emphases added]. Before the adoption of this instrument, as well as afterwards, very irritating and vexatious controveries existed between several of the states, in respect to soil, jurisdiction, and boundary; and threatened the most serious public mischiefs. Some of these controversies were heard and determined by the court of commissioners, appointed by congress. But, notwithstanding these adjudications, the conflict was maintained in some cases, until after the establishment of the present constitution." —Justice Joseph Story, Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 3, 1833, The University of Chicago Press

§ 1675. "Before the revolution, controversies between the colonies, concerning the extent of their rights of soil, territory, jurisdiction, and boundary, under their respective charters, were heard and determined before the king in council, who exercised original jurisdiction therein, upon the principles of feudal sovereignty. This jurisdiction was often practically asserted, as in the case of the dispute between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, decided by the privy council, in 1679; and in the case of the dispute between New Hampshire and New York, in 1764. Lord Hardwicke recognised this appellate jurisdiction in the most deliberate manner, in the great case of Penn v. Lord Baltimore. The same necessity, which gave rise to it in our colonial state, must continue to operate through all future time. Some tribunal, exercising such authority, is essential to prevent an appeal to the sword, and a dissolution of the government [emphasis added]. That it ought to be established under the national, rather than under the state, government; or, to speak more properly, that it can be safely established under the former only, would seem to be a position self-evident, and requiring no reasoning to support it. It may justly be presumed, that under the national government in all controversies of this sort, the decision will be impartially made according to the principles of justice; and all the usual and most effectual precautions are taken to secure this impartiality, by confiding it to the highest judicial tribunal." —Justice Joseph Story, Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 3,1833, The University of Chicago Press.

So by refusing to consider Texas’s evidence of alleged electoral vote fraud in another state, the misguided Roberts Court has done the following imo. The Court has wrongly helped to not only increase tension between conflicted states, but has also raised even more concern about a federal government that many patriots, including myself, regard as corrupt.

More specifically, instead of examining evidence to try to help calm down conflicted states as convention delegates had intended for SCOTUS to do to promote domestic tranquility insured in the Preamble to the Constitution, the corrupt Court is wrongly helping to divide the country, supporting the fraudulent election of Biden imo.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility [emphasis added], provide for the common defence [British?], promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Corrections, insights welcome.

The state legislatures, not the courts, should take action.

The person writing this is basing his opinion on a rumor about what Roberts allegedly said. How is this any different than a liberal story that uses unnamed sources?

A civil war is where a country fights within itself. A revolution is a complete change of government.

We are in for one ugly fight.

I’m sad that I can see just a glimpse of how rotten the swamp really is. It makes me sick. We’ve been living a lie for 75 years, if not more.

President Trump has no one to help him, every American who cares about this country should be on their knees praying daily, this is a spiritual war,

This Beast rising up has gotten much too far along without resistance,

There is no honest independent mainstream Press to expose the lies, no Department of Justice/FBI to investigate, no Republican party standing united behind him, in fact no politicians on either side of the isle to oppose the corruption, no State courts to block the stolen votes, no Supreme Court of the United States to rule justly and honestly, no military leaders in positions of authority to resist, no uncorrupted alphabet agencies at all are found (anywhere) to defend the Republic, no they all give either tacit approval or outright support to their NWO globalist masters that require that a free America be brought down,

Nothing will restrain the Communist left any longer, the demonic Obama creatures third term is arriving in weeks, no need for them to hold back or be restrained as nothing was done to fight back when it actually mattered, they know they can do whatever they want with only limp wristed resistance,

If any resistance is to make a difference it needs leaders and a clear delineation of who is on which side,

Communists always steal elections to solidify their power and then immediately change the rules so that no one can ever fairly defeat them again, it’s happened over and over in the past, now it’s come to our door,

The MSM will gleefully produce all the necessary glowing content that provides halos around all their evil corrupt reprobate and lawless deeds, meanwhile the tatted-up denizens of ‘Babylon the Great Again’ will hardly notice as they exit their Hemp shops or look up from their selfie stick posings posted on their Facebook NSA profiles,

However pedophile Joe (a cardboard cutout mannequin they stand up in front of the cameras as needed) has a limited use shelf life and they will use him to throw everything the NWO wants against the wall as quickly as possible to see what sticks before they go full Communist, this is all playing out as a modern day horror story,

Take note that their tool Harris is the same godless lawless vessel as Obama, an empty carcass for evil spirits to manifest itself inside with all lying signs and wonders.

The Supreme Court was the last stand for us, and I suspect it’s much more important in the grand scheme of how and when Gods judgment will ultimately fall on us,

God’s judgment on America and the whole world has already fallen - 2000 years ago on the body of his Son Jesus Christ on the cross (1 John 2:2). The condemnation and judgment for all the sins ever committed in the whole world was complete when Jesus cried, “IT IS FINISHED!”

Although America’s and the world’s sins are many, because of Christ’s full payment and punishment for all the sins of the world, God does not impute the world’s trespasses to them (2 Cor. 5:19), but rather continually seeks reconciliation to himself (vs. 20).

What is needed is hearts to turn back to trusting and relying on God and away from trusting in man and his government.

From there, the devilish squatters who have stolen not only this election but our beloved country need to be replaced by Christian Patriots who are to re-posses this land God has given to us.

By the spirit and grace of the Divine Providence of God Almighty, we will do that.

Remember DJT is an outsider and he never ran in the circles so he would know about these Justices.

He had to trust his advisors.
