Has the Supreme Court Ended the American Experiment?

So, it is Christmas, pne of the High Holy Days of the year, but certainly not the Holiest. That would be Easter, the day our Lord and Christ, Jesus rose from the dead. The result was the salvation of all who accepted the fact from the results of their own sin. It may seem strange, but today I am highlighting an article at the American Thinker written by Marlo Horne, entitled What are the new SCOTUS justices thinking?. It is a rather long article, in which Horne points out a number of reasons why the conservative justices should have overridden the liberal justices and the Chief Justice, and heard the cases that have come before it on election fraud.

There is the Constitutional issue. After all, if an election can be bought by the fraudulent voting of a few states, the entire Constitutional frame work is upended. Then there is the issue of courage in the face of threatened violence. If law enforcement does not stand up for the right against violence, who will. But then there is the issue of the justices' own legacy.  What will the members of the Court be remembered for of they shy away from doing the right thing.

I have puzzled over why the Supreme Court would have turned down this case. After all, if the Congress doesn't overturn the election, and the Biden administration takes office, then the Democrats will have been rewarded for their perfidy. Without consequences, why won't they do it again, always, effectively creating one party rule. And of course, making policies that benefit the rich and connected, while making everyone else poorer and more miserable is what they will do.

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?

The threat of violence is always present in our country. That is why we have laws against violence and law enforcement personnel to enforce those laws (at least we have had). If SCOTUS makes rulings based on the threat of violence, then those who are willing to commit violence are in control, and our laws become inconsequential. During the past year, we have seen governors and mayors refuse to confront violence and even condone it. Consequently, it is only by free and fair elections that politicians can be held accountable and, if necessary, removed, so that responsible men and women can take their place. Free and fair elections are required to elect people who will preserve our Constitution.

Please read Horne's entire article. The Justices could still take up the case, but time is running out.

It is hard to imagine that the new SCOTUS justices are not concerned about the future and their reputations. We are not only at a crossroads; we are also at a precipice. If we go over that precipice by allowing election fraud, whether or not we ever recover is uncertain, perhaps impossible. Free and fair elections may well become a thing of the past. If the new SCOTUS justices choose not to fulfill their responsibilities, there will be millions of us who will condemn them for their lack of action — an especially bitter condemnation because we were once their most ardent supporters. But worse, when their children realize that their constitutional rights are being increasingly denied, they will eventually ask their parents the poignant question: why did you not protect our Constitution and ensure that I could live in a free country, as you have done most of your life?

An even worse condemnation will be the thousands upon thousands of lonely white crosses in fields across Europe that will forever stand in silent condemnation of their failure. To anyone who can imagine unspoken words, the voices of our fallen patriots will be loud and clear: we were willing to give our lives for freedom. could you not at least write a few words?

One wonders if the Supreme Court has ended the American Experiment?
