as we enter into another catastrophic Trump regime. Everything that has happened since he gained office while losing an election in 2016 HAS BEEN ENTIRELY PERMITTED AND HARDLY HAMPERED BY THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES.
Against my better judgement, yesterday I listened to a couple of the pundit-laywers who were reassuring us that the judicial system would save us and they were expressing both their shock at how Trump gets away with everything even as they were still telling us we should put our hope in the law and the judicial system. Well, I've had that faith before and it turned out to be the propitiation of a false god. Just as I used to have faith in "journalism" and the program of liberal democracy, even as I early understood that it was hardly the same thing as egalitarian democracy.
The Constitution of the United States INCLUDING THE BILL OF RIGHTS, AND ESPECIALLY THE FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENTS is fundamentally and basically flawed when it isn't intentionally corrupt. The anti-democratic features of our government, the Electoral College, the anti-democratically constituted Senate, the unrestrained Supreme Court, etc. were put there by the dirty agreements of Northern financial interests and slave-holders, genocidalists and land stealers. That is the real history and residual character of the United States government and, so, law. The dictatorial features of the presidential system are coming home to roost here as they have in other countries which copied it from us.
Remember that when the lawyer-pundits reassure us that we can depend on the courts, this time that they Supremes wouldn't enforce the ban on insurrectionists holding federal office. The Roberts Court would have allowed Jefferson Davis to take the office. They've allowed an insurrectionist who said he intends to wreck the Constitution and federal government even as he is a known traitor in Putin's palm. And who is willing to sell us out to the billionaire oligarchs, foreign and domestic. That ruling last spring legalizing post-facto bribery was custom made for the Trump clan and its associated grifters. And every one of them who voted for it knew what they were doing.
