In a shock transfer, SCOTUS has made the upcoming 2024 presidential election about selecting the US first important King. A president with King-like powers, mainly. A democracy in identify, solely.
That is how democracies die, not in darkness run by a sketchy British overlord on the Washington Submit, however that’s not serving to. However via the weaponization of the legislation. One want solely have a look at Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, from whom U.S. Republicans take instruction, on tips on how to overthrow a democracy and not using a violent revolution, through a 12 level plan to assault democracy and consolidate energy.
It’s known as comfortable fascism or comfortable authoritarianism. It’s performed by altering the legislation. It’s performed by taking up the media.
And people two issues are taking place proper now and have been taking place for some time now. Our two legacy papers have advanced into pushing an oligarchy of the 1%, and plenty of native papers and TV have been taken over by rich conservatives. This isn’t meant as an indictment on or perhaps a reflection of the wonderful journalists at these institutions, however solely upon the management. (Please don’t yell at journalists; direct your righteous anger at their overlords and cease supporting their companies.)
The exceptionally corrupt conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court docket seems to have handed the presidency the powers of a King. That is antithetical to the founders’ intentions, because the Revolutionary Conflict in opposition to the rule of Britain beneath King George III proved. George Washington didn’t rule as a King.
But when the following election is about putting in a president who will act as a King, or have the powers of a King — which the courtroom has simply dominated that President Biden has proper now, understanding as they need to that Joe Biden would by no means abuse that energy (one thing his staff may must rethink) — then everybody should select rigorously.
The primary U.S. King:
1. Should marketing campaign on utilizing their King powers to re-establish the separation of powers and use the facility of the King to dismantle those self same powers.
2. Should use their King powers to root out corruption on the Supreme Court docket, eliminating all 6 Republicans and putting in 6 truthful minded folks with monitor information of fierce loyalty to freedom and independence who’ve the braveness to carry the highly effective accountable and imagine the legislation applies to everybody.
Would possibly I be so daring as to recommend former President Barack Obama be considered one of them? Sure, I would.
Fani Willis ought to be added to the checklist as a possible Supreme Court docket justice to be put in by King Biden, particularly as a result of conservatives confirmed not one, however two alleged sexual predators to the best courtroom on the land who then set about taking away girls’s rights. Fani Willis is a fighter for democracy who just isn’t afraid to tackle the highly effective. In mild of what the U.S. is up in opposition to, a tyrannical overtaking of democracy and remaking it into an autocracy, I don’t actually care about Willis’ inappropriate and silly however CONSENSUAL affair.
There are lots extra to select from, however these are two choices who provide the 2 qualities most important to save lots of our democratic republic: Within the type of Obama, the best integrity and within the type of Willis, the metal will wanted to proper this nation. Alvin Bragg ought to be added to the checklist for willingness to carry energy accountable.
Congressional candidates, as a result of folks must vote all the way in which down the ticket, together with native elections which is the place the individuals who find yourself with super energy begin out:
1. Should embody of their platform a vow to right away move moral guidelines and time period limits for SCOTUS and so as to add two-three seats to the courtroom.
2. If already elected, they need to suggest a constitutional modification to overturn this ruling.
In case you are electing the primary King, meaning that is the final actual election except you select correctly.
Certainly, I’m afraid the time has come to name it as loath as I’m to unfold concern: This would be the final actual election in the US of America except folks get their mates and households to end up to vote in document numbers for the one candidate who gained’t abuse this energy.
It’s telling that manner an excessive amount of of our media has known as for President Biden to step down as a result of he was low power in his debate, whereas they haven’t known as for ex-president Trump to step down from his candidacy for a similar workplace even after he was convicted of 34 felonies, incited an rebellion in opposition to his personal nation, was decided to be an adjudicated rapist and con artist, and refused to say he would honor the outcomes of the upcoming election.
The takeover has been ongoing, however we’re on the finish stage now. The 5 alarm stage. The get out the vote like our lives rely on it, as a result of for too many, they do. Anybody who displeases Donald Trump might be topic to his Henry the VIII sort whims.
