Pt #4 - Continued / Conservative Stamp on the Court, Unseemly Rush to Confirmation, Election will likely end up in court.

Is Justice Barrett the Latest Shot in the “Deconstruction of Government” Pt. 4 Cont. / A Moderate Republican’s Look at the Impact of the Barrett Confirmation / Fourth, I acknowledge that this senate confirmation will place a conservative stamp upon the US Supreme Court, possibly for a generation. Long after the Trump presidency is history, the conservative swing of the pendulum will continue; as a solid majority of conservatives, some of whom seem willing to find justification for supporting Pres. Trump over the Constitution, will be turning aside efforts to modernize both our political and judicial systems. Fifth, there was an unseemly rush to complete this confirmation, which stands in stark contrast to the despicable manner in which Pres. Obama’s last nomination was handled. That Senatorial misbehavior will go down in history as one of the blackest moments of a Republican Senate. And it could have all been avoided by the application of a little statesmanship. Unfortunately, in this day and age, we lack even a little statesmanship. Sixth, whether Pres. Trump wins or loses, this election will likely end up in the courts. The post election actions of the Executive Branch will follow the Trump administration down through history. And, it may well define whether we have a Supreme Court of Justices who will respect and support the Constitution, as they have sworn to do; or a Supreme Court of Justices, many of whom will disregard the Constitution in their efforts to support a conservative president.

Sec. of State Handles Calls for Help from Other States

On Behalf of WEA’s More Conservative Members #60 Examples of Sec. of State Wyman’s Media Appearances #3 - NBC - Coronavirus 'worst-case scenario': Could the presidential vote be done by mail? 3/26/2020 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/coronavirus-worst-case-scenario-could-presidential-vote-be-done-mail-n1168151 8.24.20 This series is in response to WA State Democratic Party Chairperson’s claiming Sec. of State Kim Wyman has not been “championing vote by mail across the country” . •Wyman said she's been inundated with calls from colleagues in other states seeking advice. •"The first thing I say is people need to understand the context," she said. "I am probably the biggest champion of vote by mail in the country, but it took us five years to move from polling places to vote-by-mail." •Every state that isn't used to voting primarily by mail will have to prepare for a huge increase in volume. •Voters need to be told not only how to v

ARE THE ATTACKS ON USPS AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION?

SERIOUSLY! ARE YOU KIDDIN’ ME!! #10 ARE THE ATTACKS ON USPS AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION? Aren’t These People Supposed to Know Better? 8.26.20 -The US Postal Service was created by an enabling act in the US Constitution. (Article I, Section 8, Clause 7). -Under the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, election protocols are the responsibility of the States, subject to the US Constitution. (The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.) It is, therefore, my opinion that the recent actions taken by Pres. Trump’s recently appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy constitute a double assault on the US Constitution. Furthermore, the timing and targeting of mail sorting and delivery capabilities are clearly intended to disrupt the upcoming General Election and set the scene for a refusal by Pres. Trump to honor the results of the election, should he be defeated.

The Righteous US v. The Evil Them

Could This Be the Beginning of a Trend? #15 The Righteous US v. The Evil Them 7.8.20 There’s a great line, spoken by Ben Franklin, in the stage play/movie “1776”. I’m paraphrasing here, but it goes something like this…. “Revolution in the first person, our revolution, is always good. It’s only bad in the third person, their revolution.” As I look at the text of President Trump’s Mt. Rushmore speech, I see this concept in the form of an effort to emphasize an “US v. Them” scenario. On the Fourth of July, I would imagine a speech would emphasize the “WE”, but that does not seem to be the case. For example: "Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children." To start with, I’m struck by the scenario of “our nation”, not theirs; the “our history”, not theirs; “our heroes”, not theirs; “our values”, not theirs; and “our children”, not theirs. It implies “they” are not p
