Those with the power and authority to do the right thing need to do the right thing

 I have been wondering, as I noted yesterday, why the courts in general, and SCOTUS in particular, seem uninterested in even hearing any evidence of election fraud..  The media, of course, keep saying there is no evidence.  But that is not true.  What is more accurate is that those tasked with hearing evidence and deciding remedies have failed to hear any of it.  It is as if the courts have taken on the roll of the three famous monkeys, See no evil, Hear no evil, and Speak no evil.

Today, at the American Thinker Eric Georgatos wonders Why Sidney Powell gets the Galileo treatment? He then speculates on three possible answers, none of which are good for us.

Observers of human history might have to go back all the way to Galileo to find a ruling class as determined to cancel someone as much as today’s is to cancel Sidney Powell in response to her single-minded devotion to bringing the truth of the full scale of the 2020 election fraud to light.

The American ruling class of 2020 is bizarrely opposed to allocating any oxygen to what Sidney Powell has discovered and is alleging about Dominion Voting Systems (and others), about vote-shifting algorithms and partial decimal vote counts, and about vote manipulation showing up throughout the country. Even Rudy Giuliani, the President’s attorney, and Mark Meadows, the President’s Chief of Staff, seem hellbent on publicly keeping their distance from Powell -- and on keeping President Trump from getting too close to or aligned with Powell.

Other elements of the ruling class -- such as SCOTUS and much of the rest of the federal judiciary -- won’t even look at the evidence Powell has assembled. They just ‘don’t want to go there’, and so they make up legal excuses -- e.g., lack of standing -- and wave off the substance of the allegations.

What gives? Why are they behaving this way?

As I said earlier, Georgatos speculates that there are three possible reasons, none of which are good for us, and probably not for them in the long run  But then most of these people are more into short term profits, and letting the long term take care of itself. The first speculation is that perhaps many on both sides of the aisle are in on the fix. I personally think this explains a lot of it, but not all. Federal Court judges and justices are appointed for life, and thus do not need to have election fraud for their careers to continue. The second explanation, however has merit with Federal judges: fear and intimidation. Can this explain why so many republican appointees to the Federal bench seem to suddenly become liberal stalwarts? Who knows, since no one is talking. But it explains a lot.

The third explanation is a variant of Galileo’s experience: the conclusion that follows from the evidence Sidney Powell has put together is so devastating to Americans’ view of how their country is supposed to be governed that it simply can’t be given voice or visibility. The truth would shock Americans into a complete loss of faith and trust in their government. The truth would so rock our world -- that we’re all being lied to and manipulated so constantly and in so many ways -- that we’ll cease to function in any manner resembling law and order. Under such circumstances, the ruling class would have determined that Americans ‘can’t handle the truth’…so they can’t be allowed to know the truth.

The third explanation seems the most unlikely, but it may ultimately be a mixture of all three. 

Look, either way it ultimately turns out, at least a third of the country will be upset.  If it is the Democrat Leftists who are the disappointed party, there will be riots, burning and looting, and probably some murder as well.  But if it is Trump supporters who are disappointed, do not count on them taking this fraudulent election lying down either.  If the Constitution ultimately fails them, who knows what they may decide to do?

Thus it is important that those who have the power and authority to do the correct thing actually DO THE CORRECT THING.  Doing the right thing is defensible, while doing the wrong thing will not be either in the near term or as history judges politicians.
