One Vote Republic: America in the Balance
In 2020, Senator Ted Cruz wrote One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, and in 2021 we see the United States Supreme Court again making his case. On 9 April 2021, amidst the continuing media smoke screen of one crisis or another, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision holding at Americans who want or believe they need to physically assemble together in bible study will likely prevail against the Christian-hating communists running California. The razor thin majority made explicit that they were slapping down the 9th Circuit again. The left wing disagreed, regurgitating the lab-coat left’s long-rehearsed lies, and G.W. Bush’s man on the bench, John Roberts, Jr., sided with the left while taking the dodge of not adding his name to their rationale for standing our First Freedom on its head. Personnel is policy and this latest disgraceful episode again affirms the danger of letting RepubliCAN’Ts nominate justices without careful scrutiny across all areas of supposed conservative concern, from national security, to economic, to religious/ cultural conservativism. A read of the slim majority’s written opinion and a perusal of the current and retired living justices’ official biographies is instructive.
Personnel is policy, especially with Supreme Court justices:
The Left Wing:
Democrats are not trying to hide their totalitarian intentions anymore. We are without excuse if we let them win what will be the last free and roughly fair election in any of our lifetimes. The Supreme Court will either swing back to preserving our constitutional republic, led by Justice Thomas and the Courageous ACB, or it will be the implement of our destruction, with at least 6 leftists plus the craven fool Roberts gutting the Constitution and affirming socialist tyranny not by bullets, at first, but by rigging our electoral system. Between imposing voting laws that favor Democrat ballot box stuffing and stuffing the Senate with two to four new permanent Democrat members, from the new states of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, the Democrats said the quiet things out loud. There is not next time, not really. There is no “when Republicans get back in power.” Consider the Democrats’ response to a Republican president actually taking his campaign promises seriously and doing what every Republican since Reagan has promised.
