Defying the court
is certainly not unheard of. And when things go well, such leadership is lauded. But it’s risky.
But what most people forget is that history doesn’t always side with the judiciary. Some of America’s greatest presidents defied court rulings, and history later confirmed that those examples of defiance were not only justified but necessary. They didn’t do it to seek power. They did it to protect the country when others froze.
In any case, things are coming to a head. And like throughout history, corrupt judges may well be the death of the Republic, here. I certainly hope not.
But John Roberts better get off his butt and MOVE if he wants to preserve the courts!

How MANY of
us feel about what we are seeing right now:
Remember, we don’t really have a universally-accepted specific time as to the fall of Rome. We might date it to Caesar crossing the Rubicon, or before that–to Sulla, or after that–to Augustus.
But understand well that the Romans at the time had no idea that Rome had fallen. They had lives to live, they had kids, they were married and given in marriage, etc. Sure, there was the occasional Visigoth around, but let’s be culturally inclusive–some of them were great people!
And so it is with us. Will future historians date the beginning of the fall of the United States to the Election of Barack Obama, to Joe Biden, to Kamala Harris? To the rise of the Deep State? Back to the election of Jimmy Carter? There are good arguments for each.
But it is simply not likely that we as a culture and country will know for sure that we have “fallen” no matter when future historians date it to. It is only in retrospect that such a claim will be convincingly made! But hopefully, future people will learn from this.
I dearly hope the United States is the one to learn from it!

I know it’s not
a new thought (though, in truth, I had it before I saw it anywhere else), but when we set things up so that a President is charged and threatened with prison as soon as he leaves office, we set it up for that person to “cross the Rubicon” and never leave office. El Presidente for life! They declare themselves the ancient Roman office of Dictator.
In fact, that was exactly the situation with Julius Caesar. He either destroyed the Republic by marching on Rome itself, or faced charges, ruin, and exile.
We ALL know what he chose. He illegally crossed the Rubicon into Rome with troops. And most of us would have chosen the very same thing…
You need to know history!
rather ironic that they are laughing,
And the future looks pretty bleak for them. Most (though not all) of the decent ones immigrated to the US some time ago.

ALWAYS remember:
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.” – Robert Heinlein
