Let us not call them "vigilantes"

 Mike Adams at the  Natural News has an article entitled The betrayal is now complete: SCOTUS dismissal of Texas lawsuit illuminates final remaining option to save the republic.

Adams writes:

The court did not hear the merits of the case, nor did it decide on them. It simply declared that Democrat-controlled states can rig elections, commit ballot fraud, cheat and steal in whatever way they want even if their actions are wildly unfair to the other states which are impacted by the outcome of federal elections.

As of tonight, December 11, 2020, we no longer live in a functioning constitutional republic.

There is no longer any controlling legal authority that is functioning in America.

Even the death of Ginsburg, it seems, was not enough to lend the court a majority of jurists who might choose to uphold the rule of law.

At the moment, the Electoral College is voting. But I don't expect any surprises there. I also do not expect any surprises to come from Congress itself. Therefore, Adams is correct that the last remaining option to save the republic may be EO 13848, if Trump decides to exercise that option. And he is also correct that the Constitution is essentially a dead letter. If the Supreme Court is not concerned about violations of the Constitution, of which there manifestly were, and both wide spread and gross, then what are they there to do?

What does this have to do with our other rights?  Of course, I have known for some time that each of us is the ultimate defender and guarantor of our own rights.  Until recently, however, we have relied on the idea, and it was only an idea, that our Constitution defended our rights.  Police forces, and the courts would provide an imperfect form of justice.  Now, we may find out what it means to defend our rights since under a Biden/Harris administration, we may well be living in lawless times.  We will find out what it means when our right to speak, to attend worship, or to keep and bear arms are denied that we must insist on those rights anyway.  Let us not call those who must defend themselves "vigilantes."
