SCOTUS Makes the Case for Trump Update: (and again)

It’s been an interesting week at the high court.

Yesterday the Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions and also had one of the most historic takedowns of a SCOTUS judge by another as Clarence Thomas illustrated the difference between a justice who had worked hard despite growing up in the segregated south who knows what a woman is and one that is an affirmative action hire that is unable to answer that question under oath.

Today the court once again told Colorado that they can not compel speech against a person’s religion despite the determined efforts of Colorado to continue to attempt to do this.

Now the reality of these rulings are that both the university system which has a lot of people whose income is based on this kind of thing, and Colorado which didn’t let the last SCOTUS ruling on cakes stop them from playing this game are likely to be either noveled by the Universities or ignored by Colorado neither of which are likely to face consequences for their actions, but it DOES do one important thing.

It makes the case for Donald Trump in election 2024.

There are arguments for and against Donald Trump as the GOP nominee but no argument is better than these two 6-3 rulings which along with the Dobbs ruling nuking abortion as a right, were only made possible by three justices appointed by Trump.

Unlike previous GOP presidents who tended to appoint Justices who had a 50-50 chance of suddenly turning liberal, Trump’s judges have been so solid that old yellowstain Justice Roberts unable to be the 5th vote for the left (see obamacare) has repeatedly decided to join conservative majorities making 6-3 rulings rather than 5-4.

Now there might be those who argue that any GOP President could have delivered these victories, and they might argue that a DeSantis (likely) or a Scott (maybe) or even a Christie (never) might have made the same solid appointments given a chance, they may even be right.

But in the end “any” GOP president did not deliver these victories and while it may or may not be true that a DeSantis or Scott, or Pence of Christie might deliver, Trump can say unequivocally that he DID deliver.

If I ran the Trump campaign I’d be making this case every single day in every single appearance I made in the country.

UPDATE: While I was writing this post SCOTUS struck down Biden’s attempt to toss student loan debt from those who took it on to taxpayers again 6-3. Maybe it’s just me but I think it’s a better argument for Trump then declaring that election 2024 is all about retribution.

The Democrats are dismantling America’s ballot box and jury box

In a speech delivered on 15 November 1867, Fredrick Douglass most famously  said:

 “A man’s rights rest in three boxes: The ballot box, jury box and the cartridge box. Let no man be kept from the ballot box because of his color. Let no woman be kept from the ballot box because of her sex”.

I would add the soap box to this most essential list of boxes where man’s rights rest.  All four of these have been under direct and relentless assault by the Democrats, who are the political left here in the United States, for the past several decades.  This assault has intensified over the past several of years to the point that these four most essential boxes have been almost entirely stripped away from those of us on the political right. 

The assault on the ballot box seemed complete with the theft of the Presidential election from Trump in 2020.  Just this week the Democrats ratcheted this up to a level I never dreamed possible with the federal indictment of President Trump on extremely phony classified document charges,  This is a tremendously transparent effort to keep President Trump off of the 2024 Republican ballot.

Phony charges issued by the Deep State is a direct assault on the Jury Box.  This box also has been under assault by the political left for a couple of decades,  George Soros led a successful campaign to make sure State Attorneys General were populated almost exclusively by hardcore leftists   The same holds true of district attorneys,

Thanks to political correctness and the war on disinformation, the soap box has been a favorite target of the political left for decades.  The soap box has not been completely destroyed.  This is thanks to the tireless work of free speech warriors.

The cartridge box is another box that has been under constant assault by the left.  Thanks to the Second Amendment and the constant work of patriots, control of this box still remains firmly in hands of those of us on the Right, This is the most important of all three boxes because it protects the other three.

With the near total victory of the left when it comes to the ballot box, jury box, and soap box, I am increasingly worried that those of on the political right will one day soon be left with only the cartridge box.  This week’s indictment of President Trump is a dangerous step along that path.

A Very Basic Question that some in the GOP Need to Answer:

The hair on fire commentary on the Trump indictment continues but for all the bluster from the left and NeverTrump on Trump as criminal or idiot and all the anger on the right over folks who steal election proving to be dishonest in other things not to mention the double standards being applied, there is one argument keeps getting advanced that I think is nonsense so I ask this question:

In what way does the Corrupt and dishonorable actions of the Biden Administration in moving forward on the indictment of President Trump automatically mean that Trump is the best qualified candidate for me to choose for the GOP nomination for president?

There are plenty of reasons to support Trump for the nomination, based on my analysis at the time of Biden Inauguration I had him ranked 4th among president behind Washington, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. Since then the revelations of the extraordinary steps taken to hinder his presidency have only added glow to his accomplishments in the sense that it makes it more extradentary that he accomplished anything let alone what he managed. On the minus side you have his failure to check Fauci and company which proved to be a huge mistake harmful for the nation. Taken in all I still rank him 4th or maybe even third all time and that kind of record is certainly a reason to vote for him.

But being oppressed by democrats and opposed by NeverTrump is not, particularly if there is a better alternative. If we are going to choose a nominee based on the unjust persecution by the Biden Administration then there are several pro-life Catholics and J6 Prisoners who deserve the nomination over Trump.

While there is not a GOP candidate in the race I can’t vote for and a few who I might vote for someday. At this moment my choice is between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. I’ve noted the case for Trump above and it’s a good one. Personally I’m leaning toward DeSantis on these grounds:

  1. His record on the state level is as impressive as Trump’s on the Federal one
  2. There is (fairly or unfairly) a group on uninformed Americans who will vote against Trump simply for being Trump (That’s not fair but neither is life) thus giving DeSantis a better chance of winning or at least making the election slightly harder to steal
  3. He can serve two terms if he wins in 2024
  4. While Trump is in fantastic shape for his age DeSantis is younger and less likely to physically decline in office.

DeSantis hasn’t closed the deal for me yet and Trump of course has his excellent record and his ability to bring out a base of excited voters in his favor, most votes every in history other than one candidate whose “magic ballots” that appear after midnight are still suspect. As I’ve said before Trump vs DeSantis as the nominee is like choosing between Ted Williams & Stan Musial to start in left for your team. Both are excellent players with excellent records and proven results but different styles it’s a question of which one is likely to help your current team win a particular game.

It’s not going to be because the Biden Administration are a bunch of corrupt asses and choose to act as such, nor to piss of the left and Never Trump, and anyways given their temperament they’ll be pissed off anyways. Even the most milquetoast GOP candidate can do it.

I’d feel comfortable voting for either of these men in the primary or the general but when I make my decision it’s going to be based on my judgement on which candidate is the best for the job and most likely to win period, and frankly you should too and if my judgement is different than yours, that’s OK.

The Three Questions I Would Like Answered by a Potential DeSantis Campaign

As I have said before in this space I would happily vote for either Donald Trump OR Ron DeSantis if either wins the GOP nomination for president in 2024 (although the other than a Ted Cruz presidency the ideal would be Trump for 4 more followed by 8 years of DeSantis) and the country would be well served by either.

Frankly DeSantis has been doing an excellent job of wooing me and I’ve not been big on the Trump attacks on him, but there is a question that I think those pushing his candidacy need to answer..

One of the arguments that we hear from the shadow DeSantis crowd is that Trump is “unelectable” (or more properly “un re-electable” ) They may or may not have a point as Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing and the left has demonstrated that disaster is better than , but I would like to ask those who would push DeSantis on those grounds these questions:

  1. What makes you think that the same democrat counties in critical states that played with the vote count in 2020 would not do so again in 2024 if DeSantis is the nominee?
  2. Donald Trump has already stated publicly that the GOP needs to ballot harvest in the Democrat fashion, What tactics will a DeSantis campaign do to counter Democrats in states that haven’t pushed the excellent election reforms that he put in place in Florida to counter Democrat dirty tricks?
  3. We already know that Trump will fight back on any attempt to steal an election from him in 2024. As there is no reason to believe Democrats would not use the same tactics against DeSantis, what steps will he take to prevent and/or counter any Democrat attempt to steal the 2024 election from him?

Oh and any person who claims: “Democrats won’t try to steal the election if Trump isn’t on the ballot” is too stupid to work on any campaign.
