Awhile back, I wrote an article about courts overriding the will of the majority of the people with decisions that are based on the judge’s political persuasion and not the facts in a case. Homosexual marriage, requiring people buy health insurance (Obamacare), and blocking photo ID requirements for voting were some examples. The argument that I made was that our constitution gives the power to the people not to judges.
The situation has gotten far worse since that article. I am referring specifically to the attempts by Democrat prosecutors and judges to interfere with the next presidential election by indicting President Trump and thereby preventing the people from freely choosing their president. This is a serious threat to our republican form of government and must not be allowed to stand. This is not about President Trump, it is about whether we the people control our government as intended by the Founding Fathers. They would be shocked and disappointed to see where we are in 2023.
The judicial system ( prosecutors and judges) is supposed to base decisions on the merits of a case regardless of their own political beliefs. This is clearly not happening. The Department of Justice worked out a “special deal” with Hunter Biden that none of us would have received. It was so egregious that the judge in the case blocked the plea deal. Three of the four indictments against President Trump are being brought by Democrat prosecutors, one of which (Letitia James), ran her campaign vowing to go after President Trump. The other indictment was by Jack Smith, a prosecutor appointed by Democrat Attorney General Merrick Garland. The judges in these cases, who are also Democrats, have scheduled the cases to be heard right in the middle of a presidential campaign which was clearly not necessary.
Historically, authoritarian Leftist governments have used their judicial systems to attack their opponents. The fact that this is happening in America is deeply disappointing and threatening. Joe Biden keeps saying that MAGA Republicans are a threat to our democracy, but like most things he says, it is an out and out lie; and in fact, the lie is intended to cover up what they are doing. Just like the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which in fact, increased inflation by spending money we do not have on Leftist green energy programs.
Now, what do we do about this? First, we make sure that President Trump is re-elected to show the Democrats that this strategy will not work in this country. In my opinion, all of the so-called other patriotic Republican candidates for president should drop out of the race and endorse President Trump. This would not only send a strong message that they put this country ahead of their own political ambitions, but show how serious Republicans are about stopping this assault on our freedom. Second, our elected officials should pass legislation that prohibits the prosecution of citizens legitimately running for elected office during a campaign except in the case of serious violent crimes. Third, I challenge our prosecutors and judges to develop procedures to review their rulings and actions of to ensure that they are acting in an unbiased manner in the performance of their duties. The judicial branch of government needs to have the trust and confidence of the people, which at this point is being undermined. Time to step up to the plate.
