We are rapidly reaching a dangerous point in America and people don't realize it. Under Mark Elias, the Democratic Party is using lawfare to try and gain/keep/attain power. In NYC, the AG has said she will condemn and take Trump's property away----no respect for capitalistic property rights is allowed under the Stalinist system that is the NY and DC Judiciary and other blue judiciaries.
Democrats hide under words like "The people" or "protecting democracy", when they use lawfare to usurp the unalienable rights guaranteed to us not by a Constitution, but by a Creator.
I was watching Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" the other night. Obviously, a lot of dramatic license was taken but aren't there some parallel arguments that took place then taking place now, only in different forms? Again, it's the Democrats that are the oppressor party.
As Yogi implied, don't say it's over until it's over. I fully suspect the Democrats will try to get into Federal Court to rule Trump disqualified, intimidate Electors to be Faithless (assuming Trump wins the EC), or reject Electoral vote slates for Trump (ditto, and notwithstanding the Democrats amending the Electoral Count Act to eliminate that path). Failing all those there will be 'January of Love' riots.
Yes Glenn states it correctly. They are not bad or evil or stupid. They are unserious. Unserious people in very serious times. Does anyone think anyone in the Biden administration is a serious person? Blinken? Austin? Harris? Biden??????? Mayor Pete? Geez.
Thanks for this, Glenn. I'm not an attorney, but even I could tell this one didn't pass the smell test because it's a federal election. I'm not as sure on Fischer, and especially Trump's current appeal on presidential immunity (although if prosecutors and cops get it while performing their duties, I cannot imagine why the president wouldn't). But even these remaining cases are not my biggest concern. Specifically:
The left will not willingly give up power.
Not now, when they know they are a distinct minority. I don't know what the margin of cheating is but it has to be in excess of 5% in any swing state with a D governor and Sec. of State.
And even if somehow Trump does win, the law fare, the deep state resistance, and the three-letter agencies will work to subvert him. Again.
How do we fight all that? And how does Trump, especially in a Lame Duck presidency?
Yes, no question, WE HAVE PASSED A DANGEROUS POINT. 1) open borders fueling criminal trafficking of drugs, gangs and terrorists 2) Afganistan capitulation transferring billons to the Taliban 3) giving billions to Iran, sponsors of the Houthis and Hamas 4) appeasing China's covert acts to undermine the US.
5) Delisting the Houthis as terrorist? Now they sink ships and cut undersea cables.
Today Fox reported that over 300k illegals have been flown into the US secretly from South of the border.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are on a path to destroy the incentives and values that made this a great nation. The Democrats are the traitors and insurrectionists. There is no turning back at this point.
What are they teaching people in law school these days?!
And really, TDS is just the latest iteration of Republican Derangement Syndrome, engineered and promulgated by the left since the propagandist demonization of Nixon. All GOP candidates are Hitler eventually.
I wonder if--or when--any pundit or politician from the Left will ever simply say, "I was wrong about...(Trump, Russiagate, COVID, Jan. 6, etc.). I let my tribalist loyalties outweigh my better judgement, and I'll try to be more humble and circumspect in the future." I might actually forgive some of them their insanity were that to happen. Some of them.
Donald Trump can even be in prison and be on the ballot in 2024. In 1920 Eugene V. Debs was on the ballot for President even though he was in Federal prison for Sedition. He got about 3% of the votes.
Paul Johnson, in his book Intellectuals, defined an intellectual as someone who cared more about ideas than people.
Lawyers today are too often intellectuals who care more about winning than justice. As the Professor points out, it’s not new that lawyers sometimes champion ideological causes. But the rigor of their arguments has never previously been this poor. The stupidification of the Legal profession is a tragedy.
I also still don't understand why Kari Lake did not try to stop her opponent, the actual Sec of State who was running the election, from also being a candidate in the race she was managing. Maybe the lawyers here could explain.
I read the majority opinion and skimmed the separate statements by some of the Justices, and I couldn’t quite tell if this also puts paid to the situation in Maine and more recently Illinois. Does it?

Keith Olbermann is a buffoon, is predictable, and should be completely ignored.
Unfortunately, he does represent much of the Leftist lack of logic, and its willingness to prioritize emotion over reality.

The brilliance of this commentary needs to be savored, and read more than once.
Nice, subtle nod to Allen Ginsberg, BTW.
Fine writers will leave little nuggets like that for their readers.

Thanks Glenn, again for the common-sense.
