Da Techguy's (no longer backup) Blog

Right now the Democrats are going all in on the idea that a president appointing a SCOTUS justice just before an election or as a lame duck and the senate approving such a nominee before an election or in a lame duck session is an injustice akin to lynching to the point where they are justifying violence, saying the SCOTUS rulings should be ignored and

Given this situation I think the GOP should make an important gesture to let the Democrats know that they are willing to give their concerns serious consideration.

If I’m Mitch McConnell just before the vote on whoever Donald Trump’s SCOTUS nominee is I would offer the following two constitutional amendments for a vote.

DaTechGuy SCOTUS Amendment #1:

(1) No sitting president shall nominate nor shall the US Senate vote on any nominee for the SCOTUS in the period sixty days before a national election for President

(2)No sitting president shall nominate, nor shall the US Senate vote on any nomination for SCOTUS in a Lame duck session between the election and the swearing in of the next administration excepting when:

A: The sitting president has just been re-elected

B: The incoming president elect consents to said nomination

(3) This amendment shall be allotted twelve months from the date of passage for ratification by the states with a single extension of twelve months if requested by single any member of congress.

This vote should be pushed at once. If the Democrats really believe this, then they should rush to approve it and send it to the states. If they refuse to do so then we know all their protestations for “fairness” is BS.

I would also push the following Amendment

DaTechGuy SCOTUS Amendment #2

(1) The Supreme Court shall be limited to a minimum of 9 members and a maximum of 11 members

(2) This amendment shall be allotted twelve months from the date of passage for ratification by the states with a single extension of twelve months if requested by single any member of congress.

The Democrats keep talking about “packing” the court. Well if they want to increase the court’s size and are convinced that the polls showing a Joe Biden victory are real here is their chance.

Let’s get these to the states and see if the leftists screaming for this actually mean it.

Make them vote on all of these and watch them squirm.

Closing thought:

I’d also consider offering this third amendment to cover Ted Cruz’s worry about a split court during an election dispute

DaTechGuy’s SCOTUS Amendment #3

(1) If the SCOTUS membership is at 8 or 10 during a presidential election dispute a retired member of the SCOTUS shall sit as a “senior justice” on the court to hear any such dispute.

The position of “senior justice” shall be offered to the most recently retired Justice. If said justice declines the offer to sit the next most recently retired Justice shall be made this offer until a justice is found.

(2) If no retired justice is available to sit as a “senior” justice the most senior appeals court justice in the US court system shall serve as a “temporary justice” on the court exclusively to hear said dispute.

For the purpose of this amendment “Most senior” shall be defined as the justice with the longest tenure on federal court of appeals. If case of a tie then the entire time in the federal court system shall be a tiebreaker.

(3) This amendment shall be allotted twelve months from the date of passage for ratification by the states with a single extension of twelve months if requested by single any member of congress.

I particularly like this one because it honors a judge who likely is very qualified for SCOTUS but would never be nominated due to age.

If someone like Blake cannot be arrested — he was violating a restraining order and terrorizing the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her — then who, exactly, are police allowed to arrest?

How cosmically apropos is the timing of all this, though?  Ginsburg’s demise 57 days prior to the most contested election since 1860 is not simply one more piece of wood on the conflagration that is 2020; it is an entire load of creosote-soaked logs — both flamable and toxic — added to it.

Antifa is not just some “spontaneous” uprising by revolutionaries on the street, but is fully funded and organized from the outside, complete with bail funds flush with over a million in cash for Portland rioters alone as well as a plethora of supplies for violent rioting.

Oddly enough I don’t think the BLM left will be having any protests about this.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

And You thought you’d seen peak leftist crazy, when they were pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court and Defending child pornography didn’t you?

I bring this up this classic movie because there is a 2nd parallel here, this meltdown is the meltdown of the Godless.

During the previous presidency there was a lot of cause for despair for the right, particularly for those of us of faith. Item after item was shoved down our throat from Obamacare to the forcing of Nuns to violate their faith and of course unleashing of the IRS on those who objected.

Through all of this there was one constant comfort for us, faith.

People turned to their religion for comfort. Christians of all denomination turned to God for help and comfort in a time of trial and were assured that God knew what he was doing even if he wasn’t telling us.

So as the political world turned oppressive we clung to our God and got on with our lives as best we could.

But what happens if you have no God and no faith? What happens when you have decided to make you’re political beliefs your religion? What happens when your article of political faith is what governs your lives and beliefs.

Well this happens

and this happens

And this happens

and you even reach the point where you are willing to reject your own father unless he converts to the true political faith?

In short when you reject God and replace your religion with Politics you have no source of comfort to allow you to carry on and function when your political fortunes wane. That’s why you turn to riots, arson and murder.

That is the real price of the Democrats becoming a secular party and rejecting people of faith unless they are willing to take off their faith like a coat when it become too hot to handle.

They have chosen to pay that price but let me point out that you have the rest of your life to make a different choice but not a second more.

So to finish with my Indiana Jones Theme: Choose wisely.
