The Left wing assault on our conventional types of constitutional democracy has had nice success in abolishing cherished establishments like the key poll and identical day voting. Emboldened by these wins, the Left has set its sights on eliminating judicial independence. Hate stuffed ethics assaults have been made on Justices Thomas and Alito. The Left is so mad concerning the overruling of Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), the abortion rights case, that they’re now attempting to power the Supreme Court docket’s two most principled and sensible members into resigning or recusing themselves from collaborating in essential instances concerning the 2020 and 2024 elections, which they’ve a constitutional responsibility to assist determine.
I wrote final winter on this weblog that Justice Thomas’s opinions present a steadfast devotion to the rule of legislation and are fairly merely glorious on the deserves. Not solely is Justice Thomas incapable of being bribed, he’s truly one of the best justice ever to serve on the Supreme Court docket in 234 years of American historical past. Nobody might learn Justice Thomas’s opinions and fail to be impressed by them. It’s apparent on the face of issues that Justice Thomas would by no means alter a phrase that he writes due to a present from a buddy.
The Left’s assault on Justice Alito is predicated on an objection to the Justice’s spouse flying the U.S. flag the other way up—a misery sign utilized by some however not by Justice Alito’s spouse—after the occasions of January 6, 2021. Justice Alito’s spouse raised the American flag in response to a dispute with a quarrelsome neighbor. A CNN ballot on July 25, 2023 confirmed that almost 70% of all Republicans suppose the 2020 presidential election was, in impact, stolen.
Below these circumstances, Justice Alito’s spouse has a First Modification proper to fly the U.S. flag in misery mode or to fly a Christian Attraction to Heaven flag to specific her dismay and misery over something in any respect. I effectively keep in mind the parade of left wing legislation professors who hailed the U.S. Supreme Court docket’s resolution in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989) that Individuals have a First Modification constitutional proper to burn the flag to specific their opposition to one thing the U.S. authorities was then doing. The opinion in Texas v. Johnson was written by liberal big William J. Brennan and was joined by Justices Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony M. Kennedy. It has been broadly hailed by left and proper wing legislation professors for 35 years as a part of the gold customary on freedom of expression protections. Clearly, you probably have a First Modification proper to burn the flag to specific your self, you might have a First Modification proper to fly it in misery mode or to fly the Attraction to Heaven flag to specific your self.
Justices Thomas and Alito have fairly appropriately stayed out of politics themselves, however it’s unreasonable for the Left to demand that their wives keep out of politics too. On this case, Justice Alito’s spouse was not even trying to specific a political concept. The Left’s latest observe of outing the conduct of the justices’ wives is unprecedented, bullying, and unconstitutional insofar because it impacts the Justices wives’ train of their very own First Modification rights. The Left is demanding that, due to their wives’ conduct, Justices Thomas and Alito ought to recuse themselves from Trump-related election instances. This outrageous demand simply reveals once more that the Left is apoplectic that its 85 12 months choke maintain on the Supreme Court docket majority has been damaged. Justices Thomas and Alito ought to do their responsibility below the Structure, which they swore to uphold, and they need to sit on all of the election associated instances from 2020 or 2024 that come earlier than the Supreme Court docket.
The Left ought to be ashamed of itself for looking for to politicize our unbiased, life tenured, judiciary. Left. to their very own gadgets, the Left would take a wrecking ball to all of our constitutional rights and freedoms. Thank God that we have now women and men on the Supreme Court docket who’re prepared to face up for the Structure however the hell that the Left has made from their lives. The Republican Justices need to journey in public in a cocoon of U.S. Marshall’s who’re hyper-vigilant about their security. The Justices can’t stroll right into a retailer or restaurant with out being accosted. That is how constitutional democracies die, my mates. We must always denounce within the strongest attainable phrases those that threaten the independence of our life tenured judiciary.
