Aaaand… SCOTUS strikes again, refusing to take the Constitutional election-irregularity case brought by Texas and joined by many other states. Newcomers Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett all teamed up with Sotomayor, Kagan, and Roberts to stonewall the complaint. As Thomas and Alito pointed out in their dissent, this was an abrogation of their responsibility as original jurisdiction for disputes between the states: there is no other place to resolve such things, save for what John Locke called an “appeal to Heaven”.
The Court took a risk with this decision. By going squishy on election enforcement, they may have hoped to avoid putting themselves in the middle of the great conflict of our era. But Donald Trump may turn out to have been all that stood between those nine Justices and the court-packing scheme of the Democrats — especially if the decision emboldens party operatives in Georgia to fiddle with the upcoming Senate runoffs in that state.
After all, why would anyone worry, at this point, about not getting away with election-rigging?
Things are heating up briskly now in America. Both sides seem to have come comfortably to terms with the idea that there will be no reconciliation with the Other, and are speaking quite openly about extinction, subjugation, etc. I’ve written before about how civil war is like a black hole, in that you don’t know, when falling into one, just when you’ve crossed the event horizon. At some point, though, it becomes obvious. (As, I think, it now has here.)

Yes,
But the news on the 17 Faithful states is good, wonderful.
We have recovered from our our slumber and then our shock and now we stand at last.
Court packing should be the least of everyone’s worryings. Civil war is something to worry about.
Pre-civil war is usally a time of political assassinations. This is the next step to worry about.
The US missed that part in the last civil war, but it usually happens. Well documented for Spain and Russia for example.
Anyway, who cares about courts when arson and looting happen while the polices stands by and watches?
“Pre-civil war is usally a time of political assassinations. ”
That was once called BLM-2014-16.
Cops were assassinated as political targets.
Then there was GOP baseball massacre after Trump’s election.
Not that there weren’t several street assassinations this cycle, but it was mostly beatings, arson, burning, looting.
There was sufficient violence in 2020 therein to meet the basic criteria.
If there is ever a remake of the movie “The Matrix”, this recent ‘election’ would fit right in the plot. The Red Pill world clash with the Blue Pill world has revealed the extent to which the powerful will go to subdue the petulant masses.
We seem to have crossed the Rubicon. I have no faith left in the institutions that currently exist but I’ll be damned if I’ll take a knee to people who destroyed this land.
War to the hilt.
Apologies. Infrequently passing by.
