Chevron Overturned

Another lever that our elite politicians have used to avoid responsibility has been overturned by the Supreme Court. It was known as Chevron Deference. It was decision handed down from SCOTUS in 1984. It allowed federal agencies to interpret laws themselves if they felt the statute was ambiguous. Under the Chevron decision, federal courts were supposed to defer to the “experts” in such agencies. SCOTUS has ended that practice.

The campaign against Justice Alito over flying flags at his home is being ratcheted up. Several more instances of flying flags that represent extremist fringes of the population have been discovered.

First, They Came For…

The witch hunt is on…again. First, they came for Justice Clarence Thomas. Now it appears they are coming for Justice Samuel Alito. The Democrats are trying to delegitimize the workings of the Supreme Court with these sham “scandals” that they are trying to tie around these justices’ necks.

Judge Merchan fines President Trump for delivering pizzas to firemen

“This is clearly a forbidden reference to PizzaGate. What Adam and I do on the weekends is nobody’s business,” said the jurist, referring to his employer Rep. Adam Schiff, a “small black olive”- guy.

Guilty conscience?

A Slam Dunk!

SCOTUS ruled 9-0 that the Colorado Supreme Court did not have the authority to keep PDJT off Colorado’s primary ballot via Section 3 of the 14^th Amendment.

According to the Supreme Court, States may only disqualify officeholders or candidates from state office. This power doesn’t extend to federal elections or officers. To quote, “Nothing in the Constitution delegates to the States any power to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”

Colorado Insurrection

The Colorado insurrection will likely be quashed by the Supreme Court. It is always risky to make predictions based on the oral arguments presented. However, it seems likely that SCOTUS will end the insurrection by the Colorado Supreme Court by reversing their ruling removing PDJT from the ballot.

Trial Suspended

The Special Counsel election interference case against PDJT has been suspended. President Trump’s attorneys argued to the DC Circuit appellate court that PDJT holds inherent constitutional immunity. In essence, because President Trump was acquitted by the Senate of claims he incited or instigated the January 6, 2021, events, lawyers are arguing that under the Constitution only impeached and removed presidents can be criminally prosecuted.

Anger

Thoughts that echo through an idle mind.

Speaker Pro Tempore of the House Patrick McHenry was visibly furious over the ouster of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Was this because Pelosi and Steny Hoyer had promised to protect the Speakership if it was challenged?

Where was this anger when J6 defendants were and are still being railroaded by Biden’s weaponized DOJ? Did McHenry ever speak out forcefully about this maladministration of justice?

Gag Orders

Gag orders issued in criminal cases and less often in civil cases, are supposedly done to control publicity and protect the right to a fair trial. Such orders are supposed to balance the right to a fair trial with the First Amendment free speech rights of the people being silenced.

Because courts have almost always overturned trial judges’ attempts to restrict the news media’s right to report on cases, gag orders typically apply to participants in a case. This is especially true today with the widespread use of social media. Citizen journalists abound and would be far more difficult to control.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith did the expected. We all knew this was coming. On Friday last week, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed previously hidden court filings revealing the DOJ’s request to silence Donald Trump via a judicial gag order [Read PDF Here].

Odds & Ends

grampslcf September 21, 2023 Comments Off

A home run. I have to hand to the Biden administration. Never before in American history has every single appointment been someone that is both incompetent and with a passion to tear down and destroy the country.

The political class has lately produced an impressive string of debacles: the Afghanistan pullout, urban crime waves, easily foreseen inflation, mayhem at the southern border, a self-generated energy crisis, a pandemic response that wrought little good and vast ruin.

Then there are the perennial national embarrassments: a mind-bogglingly expensive welfare state that doesn’t work, public schools that make kids dumber, universities that nurture destructive grievances and noxious ideologies, and a news media nobody trusts.

Need I go on?
