The Biden Regime declared war on the Supreme Court

Democrats absolutely love the Supreme Court when that august body issues opinions that conform to progressive orthodoxy.  When the Supreme Court issues opinions that actually reflect the original meaning of the Constitution and founding principles of the United States, Democrats behave like small children. This is exactly what took place this past Monday when the Biden Regime issued the following proposal: FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Bold Plan to Reform the Supreme Court and Ensure No President Is Above the Law | The White House

From his first day in office—and every day since then—President Biden has taken action to strengthen American democracy and protect the rule of law.

In recent years, the Supreme Court has overturned long-established legal precedents protecting fundamental rights. This Court has gutted civil rights protections, taken away a woman’s right to choose, and now granted Presidents broad immunity from prosecution for crimes they commit in office.

At the same time, recent ethics scandals involving some Justices have caused the public to question the fairness and independence that are essential for the Court to faithfully carry out its mission to deliver justice for all Americans.

The opening paragraphs of this fact sheet prove that the political left lives in an alternate universe, with a vastly different reality.

As you can see from this next paragraph, the Biden Regime is hoping to cram this farce through before the election.

President Biden and Vice President Harris look forward to working with Congress and empowering the American people to prevent the abuse of Presidential power, restore faith in the Supreme Court, and strengthen the guardrails of democracy. President Biden thanks the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States for its insightful analysis of Supreme Court reform proposals. The Administration will continue its work to ensure that no one is above the law – and in America, the people rule.

The only positive thing you can say about the first proposed reform is that it does not violate the Constitution because it calls for a Constitutional Amendment.

No Immunity for Crimes a Former President Committed in Office: President Biden shares the Founders’ belief that the President’s power is limited—not absolute—and must ultimately reside with the people. He is calling for a constitutional amendment that makes clear no President is above the law or immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. 

This next proposal completely shreds Article 3 of the Constitution, which does not include an actual term limit.

Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices: Congress approved term limits for the Presidency over 75 years ago, and President Biden believes they should do the same for the Supreme Court. The United States is the only major constitutional democracy that gives lifetime seats to its high court Justices. Term limits would help ensure that the Court’s membership changes with some regularity; make timing for Court nominations more predictable and less arbitrary; and reduce the chance that any single Presidency imposes undue influence for generations to come. President Biden supports a system in which the President would appoint a Justice every two years to spend eighteen years in active service on the Supreme Court.

The third and final proposal also shreds Article 3 of the Constitution because neither the Executive Branch or the Legislative Branch are granted the authority to impose a code of conduct on the Supreme Court.

Binding Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court: President Biden believes that Congress should pass binding, enforceable conduct and ethics rules that require Justices to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest. Supreme Court Justices should not be exempt from the enforceable code of conduct that applies to every other federal judge.

Here is the actual text of Article 3 Section 1 of the Constitution.

Section 1- Judicial powers. Tenure. Compensation.

The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may, from time to time, ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.

The August Indulgence Calendar and a Tip for Stacy’s Friend Wombat

I have today off but ended waking up a full hour before my normal work alarm quipped about it on twitter leading to a slightly comical exchange with Wombat from The Other McCain site which ended in this tweet:

I mention this because one of the great things about the Indulgence calendar is that it lists many of the ways one might earn a plenary indulgence which eliminates the need for purgatory.

Of course if one still has attachment to sin the indulgence becomes partial but even a partial indulgence lessens the time in purgatory as it advances the purification of the soul which is the purpose of purgatory to purify souls that are destined for heaven which have not reached the state necessary for entry.

So even if you don’t use the Indulgence calendar for it’s standard purpose take advantage of the list of indulgences and types to earn them for yourself.

Details on how indulgences work are listed there.

Think of it, simply reading scripture for a half hour or more carries a plenary indulgence. That’s the easiest way to get it done next to doing the stations of the cross.

If you are a conservative and make yourself dependent on the use of Google and/or Meta as a vital source for your income you’re a fool, but not as big a fool as if you are liberal who believes that they will not cause “mistakes” to happen to you if you ever put a single foot wrong.

BTW to those who think Google and Meta are invincible I have this to say:

The Story isn’t the Left’s Blasphemy, the Story is the visible proof of God’s existence in response

I’ve already taped next week’s Your Prayer Intentions show which deals with the beginning of the Bread of Life Discourses. It’s one of the most ignored parts of scripture because our protestant friends tend to pass it over because it’s very hard to spin the Eucharistic away as a symbol rather than the actual body and blood of Christ when reading it and of course our non Christian friends ignore the lot.

It’s so blatant that Jonathan Roumie, the devout Catholic who plays Jesus in the show did a reading of the passage in his Jesus voice at the latest Eucharistic Conference because as he noted it’s unlikely that they will get to film that scene.

To give you a sneak preview of what I said note this part just of the scripture involved which will be part of this sunday’s Gospel at every Catholic church in the world:

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said,

“Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”

So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them,

“This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”

So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?

The irony here is that he literally had just fed five thousands of them with 5 loaves and two fishes. They saw it happen. In fact as I noted in last week’s show if this story had been false it would have been the easiest to prove because the logistics of 1st century Judea would have meant that the supplies and wagons to carry food for 5000+ (that number didn’t count women and children) would have been very visible, yet they still asked for a sign.

I submit and suggest they asked for another sign because they didn’t want to acknowledge the sign they had just seen because once they did, then a choice would have to be made.

Basically it’s the same choice Israel had when God actually appeared to them on the mountain (Exodus chapter 19 & 20). People often forget this in scripture, God actually appearing to the people of Israel and the people of Israel asking through Moses for God not to do that again. I blame Cecil B DeMille because that bit was left out of his epic The 10 Commandments and thus people who never actually read Exodus chapters 19 & 20 don’t realize it. I suspect that it’s the primary reason why the people of Israel still exist as a people.

And that brings us to the opening of the Paris Olympics and God’s public response.

I’m not in the least surprised at the acts of the left in their mockery of the Last Supper, nor am I surprised by their disingenuous response claiming in English that this was not what they were doing when in French it clearly stated that this was the case:

What surprised me was the very public response by God. The blackout that followed can easily be explained away as a technical issue and under normal circumstances that would be the reasonable response to the blackout the next day.

What can’t be so easily explained away is the fact that there was one rather prominent structure in the city that was not affected by the blackout:

The real irony is that Church was built in reparation for sins against the church by France.

I’ve argued for many years that God has not stopped giving signs, but we have trained ourselves not to see them because to see them generates a choice that comes down to this.

If God in general and the Catholic Church in particular is real, what will I change about my life in response?

I’ve argued that said signs are usually personal and only rarely public and certainly not commonly visible to the entire world. Apparently there are exceptions.

Well God has given you a classic sign, a public sign, nobody hurt but a visible sign of his existence. The media will of course run away from it, my parish priest has already noted that while many protestants acknowledge the blackout as a sign they have ignored the church retaining the light. Now it’s up to you.

You have a choice, you can explain it away or you can acknowledge it and act accordingly.

Your move.
