Let's not make that mistake again!<br /><br />I agree that winning control of SCOTUS is pivotal, but it's not the final word in American politics and culture. Assuming we add another conservative Justice, the Dems COULD engage in court-packing in the future. They could get away with it too, if America lets them. The only real safety for our Republic and way of life, therefore, lies in fundamentally altering the nature of the media, the Democratic Party, our education system, and, yes, the judiciary. Ultimately, we need to win the culture wars. The Supreme Court is a secondary front in a long, complex struggle.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-32047653898609039442020-09-22T09:28:35.888-04:002020-09-22T09:28:35.888-04:00Dr.Waddy from Jack: Let John L.

It will mark the return of the rule of law and common sense and the disempowerment of those who would "fundamentally transform" a nation which does not need such radical change. Well ordered and well conceived progress would again prevail and the terribly bizarre interlude which started in the '60's, would end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-50347949805204403012020-09-21T15:39:38.880-04:002020-09-21T15:39:38.880-04:00Dr.Waddy et Al from Jack: Perhaps enduring victory...Dr.Waddy et Al from Jack: Perhaps enduring victory for us and the salvation of the real America from the 50+ year leftist onslaught, is at hand,if we will but reach for and vote for the President!

A 4-4 ti...Linda, a couple points of clarification. A 4-4 tie doesn't necessarily mean that the Court is useless. For one thing, it's 5-3, in terms of conservatives versus liberals, so we might get a sympathetic hearing. You never know. For another thing, in the case of a tie, the decision of the appeals court that ruled before the Supremes would stand. Thus, you can bet that election challenges will be filed by the Dems and the GOP in whichever circuit they view as friendly. What that means, I presume, is numerous challenges in multiple circuits. Pandemonium, in other words, but even a 4-4 Court might be able to decide which cases to hear and which to leave be. In addition, I heard today that there is precedent for the President making a recess appointment to the Supreme Court. In other words, the tie-breaking vote could potentially be cast by a temporary Justice chosen by Trump! Lastly, I wouldn't count Collins, Murkowski, Romney, et al. as definite "no" votes. They might prefer to wait until after the election, sure. What else are they going to say? The vote itself might or might not happen before the election, however. Even if it does happen before the election, if the nominee is strong they might find it hard to vote no. The Dems will unleash all the hounds of hell on whomever the nominee is, and that might, just might, lead to a backlash against their destructive, ad hominem tactics. It happened before with Kavanaugh, and he was a white male, after all: the lowest of the low. The nominee to come is likely to be coated in feminine (and possibly Hispanic) Teflon. Very helpful!<br /><br />Ray, you're right -- there's nothing new under the sun. BLM isn't innovative in the least. Their views are similar to those of the Black Panthers, yes -- but one might also see them as simply the obverse of the KKK. Same difference.<br /><br />Jack's summary of the situation with the Court tracks closely with my own. I think the upshot is this: neither side can feel safe in the assumption that it will be "saved" from an election loss by a sympathetic judiciary. The judiciary obviously leans right...but it probably also loathes Trump. An election decided by the courts is something of a coin-flip!<br /><br />Ray, yes -- FDR contemplated court-packing, but even he didn't have the stomach for it, and nor did his Democratic pals in Congress. Of course, those were different times. Be that as it may, I don't regard Dem threats of court-packing as overly serious. If they get a majority in the Senate -- a big IF -- it will be razor-thin, and a couple of defections would scupper the whole enterprise.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-83833094105410680192020-09-20T19:20:12.500-04:002020-09-20T19:20:12.500-04:00Don't forget that FDR tried to "pack"...Don't forget that FDR tried to "pack" the Supreme Court back in 1937, and expand it to 15 justices, primarily to neutralize those who were hostile to his New Deal programs.Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-5885448874251265962020-09-20T17:14:57.369-04:002020-09-20T17:14:57.369-04:00Dr.Waddy et al: I think our SCOTUS count now is 5-...Dr.Waddy et al: I think our SCOTUS count now is 5-3 in our favor. If SCOTUS plays a role in the post "election" hurly burly it does give the lawful America an advantage against the"anything goes as long as it goes our way" far left. As I remember, in 2000 the critical case was appealed directly to SCOTUS from the Florida Supreme Court decision.If Justice Roberts were to have another of his anxiety attacks, and goes rogue, producing a tie,then an as yet undetermined state's judiciary or a Federal District Court could decide the election. Gads, this is going to be dramatic! I rejoice at the discomfiture done to the frail psyches of the left: I see megashrill Madame Pelosi already proposes summary impeachment. I don't blame them ;they are on the bubble and I hope it drives them to frantic distraction. They do deserve it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-60944370266520414282020-09-20T13:18:20.786-04:002020-09-20T13:18:20.786-04:00LINDA

It's worth your time. <br /><br /> Yep, read it long ago, so when BLM came along I said "Yep, Black Panthers Come Home to Roost". All this, compliments of our wealthy elite Leftists and their counter parts in the entertainment industry, and elsewhere, meaning the media and academia, literally. Do yourself a favor and read this book, or at least a synopsis of it. <br /><br /> "Burn Baby Burn" is the motto of the BLM, or should be. The Black Panthers were always dedicated to violence. Nothing new here, except more violence brought to you by the same mob who brought it to you over 50 years ago.Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-24067245615473527522020-09-19T17:07:34.184-04:002020-09-19T17:07:34.184-04:00Well, my first comment got wiped out...so let'...Well, my first comment got wiped out...so let's try again. As it stands right now, SCOTUS is 4-4. They can not successfully rule fairly, can they if the presidency is contested? Just asking. Next is the Senate. I see turncoat Lindsey Graham has now changed his tune (wonder of wonders), I see Collins and Murkowski (why call yourself a Republican?) are def. no's. So, who does that leave in the Senate? Romney? Loeffler also as no's? There was one more, can't think of his name. I'm telling you, button up buttercup. It will become very nasty.<br /><br />That is a great article that was written about the BLM. "The cause of violence is the people who have chosen to be violent." Very true. Furthur down in the article she touches on the lack of police response. I think the police are often told to stand down, as they were in Seattle and Portland.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466115918585699329noreply@blogger.com
