Another interesting exchange, which I can’t find right now, is when a Justice asked what would happen if it started being a “tit-for-tat” with red states taking democrat candidates off their state’s ballots.

The attorney responded something along the lines of: “That wouldn’t happen since the institutions and the courts would stop it”.

So, he was honest in saying that he expected the Courts to rule one way in the instance of Trump being taken off the ballot, but in another way if it was a Democrat. The absolute hubris and assurance of the left that the rules should work only for them and the courts and bureaucracy would come to their defense, is amazing.

The problem, a major problem, is that the judges think that they can do it.

Judges are supposed to represent the sanity and reason when all else is crazy. They are the foundation, the rock, the logic of or system. Not not a bunch of loonies themselves.

It should never get to the point of “That wouldn't happen since the institutions and the courts would stop it”.

Why? Because we, voters/citizens, lose our trust in the system. And when we lose our trust in the system, insanity and anarchy rule and that is not good. They need our confidence in the system and the process. For good or bad, “the system” should be above all. It should be golden. It should be platinum. It should be “beyond reproach.”

That is what a “Democracy” (ya I know that it is a Republic) is all about — you don't always win, and when you don't win, you accept the results peacefully because you believed that the process was fair and just. When people, for good reason, don't accept the results, you end up with Jan 6th or worse.

Instead of attacking the Jan 6 protesters, they should be asking why so many distrust the system. Tens of millions of people questioned the 2020 results. That is a lot of fellow Americans to be demonizing. The effort should be to prove to those tens of millions of Americans that the 2020 election was just and fair. Instead of hating them and sending their minions after the leadership like Trump and everyone who questioned the election... which by the way, is their 1st amendment right.
