And elsewhere in the News...

I did watch a lot of the first Republican debate.  It seemed to me that the only ones with any chance were DeSantis, Haley, Pence and Ramaswamy.  The first three are serious people.  But they each had their issues.  DeSantis looked around at the others in order to see if they raised their hands, when asked who would vote for Trump if he was the party's nominee.  Haley played the female/identity politics card, even if she intended it only in jest.  Pence was too wrapped up in his religious beliefs, which I respect, but we are a secular country.  And Ramaswamy, filled with youthful exuberance, is completely naive with regards to world affairs.

 On the plus side, DeSantis has a mostly good record in Florida.  Pence has a history of being a strong conservative, even though many objected to his comments about Trump and his attorneys.  Haley gave the Republican Party a needed voice on how to address the abortion issue.  And as US Ambassador to the UN, she demonstrated her toughness, and was not intimidated by the world's bad actors and bullies.  And Ramaswamy is strong on domestic issues, but has much to learn about foreign policy.

The Jerusalem Post reported that 2023 has been a very bad year with regards to terrorist attacks.  Apparently, the worst since the second intifada.  As of 8/31/23, they reported that 34 people had been murdered in terrorist attacks.  That's more than all of last year, with four months still left in the year.  A big thank you to Joe Biden for reinstating the funding to the terrorist supporting Palestinian Authority.  Funding that Trump had ceased until the PA agreed they would not use that money to support the killing of Jews.  

The numbers are staggering!  It was simply too much for the Los Angeles City Council to tolerate.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott has caused 435,000 people to be bused to the City of Angels.  Just kidding.  4,350 people.  No again.  435 people.  Yep, that's it.  To a city of 4 million people.  The second largest city in the country.  Los Angeles is a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state.  But it was just too much.  So the city council voted - unanimously - "to pursue a lawsuit and criminal probe against Texas over its migrant busing program..."  

Meanwhile, the California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, has his sites set on another group of dastardly people.  He announced he is suing the Chino Valley Unified School District.  What did the school Board do to incur his wrath?  They passed a measure that requires schools to advise parents if their children change their gender or pronouns.  But in the People's Republic of California, as in all communist societies, the government does not believe in the primacy of the family unit.  Rather, the state knows best, always, and therefore is in the best position to know what is in the best interests of every child.

This week's Jewish Journal of Los Angeles had a very interesting article about Marissa Streit, the CEO of Prager U.  Prager U is the brainchild of author and radio host, Dennis Prager and his producer, Allen Estrin.  They air 5 minute (more or less) videos on numerous topics.  Prager used to say "we teach what isn't taught."  Now he says "we teach what should be taught."  They claim to have had 8 billion ("b" as in billion) views so far.  One can only hope.  Because they push back against all the left-wing, politically correct, woke crap that passes for education these days.  

Streit recalls a story when, as a young child of 13, she toured Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust museum.  She tells of asking the docent why people did not fight back.  She asked, "did they not understand what could happen (to them) if they didn't fight?"  She said the docent's reply is etched in her memory:  "Well young lady, most people don't fight until it's too late and most people rely on others to do the fighting for them."  I'm certainly not Prager or Hannity or any of the other conservative voices, who reach millions of viewers.  But if you ask me why I take hours every other weekend to write this blog, it is to fight back - for Israel, for America, and for fundamental Judeo-Christian values.    

Meanwhile, Back at the Bidens...

We know that Biden took Hunter on many trips to foreign countries (at least 15 times according to Fox), because that's what VPs do - take their little boys with them on government business.  We know that Hunter set up at least 20 shell companies, not to hide and transfer money.  No, just to see if he could do it.  We know the talentless Hunter collected millions of dollars from foreign countries, with some going to the "Big Guy."  We know Biden participated in some of these phone calls and business meetings.  But just to talk about the weather, of course.

Now we find out that Biden, as VP, had several anonymous email accounts.  robinware456@gmail.com, JRB-Ware@gmail.com, and Robert.L.Peters@gmail.com.  I can't wait to see how the Dem - MSM complex explains that away.  After all, they almost all agreed that the NY Post was wrong when they broke the Hunter laptop story.  They said it was Russian disinformation.  Until even the NY Times had to admit that it was legit.  Imagine if the MSM treated that story seriously before the 2020 election  Then, the scandal may have cost Biden the election, and Trump might have been reelected.  Oh, that's why they didn't want to report it.  

Here's a question:  why did Biden advise Hunter in advance of a call that he (VP Biden) would be making to then Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko?  Coincidental that Hunter was on the Board of the Ukrainian oil company Burisma at the time?  Will the MSM demand that Biden release all of the emails sent under his various pseudonyms when he was VP?  If not, why won't they?  Or, will they continue to make excuses for Biden, the way they did when Clinton wiped 33,000 emails from her private email server, and destroyed various electronic devices she had used.  But let's just talk about Trump.   

Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, had an opinion piece on Fox online.  Bozell:  "Between the evening of August 1 and the morning of August 8, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted more than five hours to Donald Trump's third indictment on morning and evening newscasts as well as their Sunday morning political talk shows," citing an analysis by NewsBusters.  Bozell:  "In contrast, the same programs spent a mere four minutes and 50 seconds on matters related to the Biden family's many scandals."  Anybody want to claim there is no Democrat Party-mainstream media complex?  Is the MSM that much different from the Soviet News Agency, Tass?  

House oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer, released information showing $20 million going from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs to Hunter and his business associates.  Comer:  "It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself."  Does anybody seriously want to claim that Hunter Biden was not engaged in influence peddling?  And that he did so with, at a minimum, the tacit consent of his father, the Vice President of the United States?  Some have asked:  but what did Biden actually do in exchange for the money?  

Really?  First, it does NOT matter.  The mere payment of millions of dollars to the Biden family from foreign countries is bad enough.  The mere suggestion that if millions are paid to his family they will have access to the Vice President, is even worse.  Millions that were paid because Joe and Hunter are such nice guys?  Second, we do know about the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor at Biden's insistence.  Third, if Biden would release his emails - under all the names that he used - we might know a lot more.  

We know that AG, Merrick Garland, followed his boss's orders and saw to it that Trump was prosecuted.  When the sweetheart deal negotiated by the Delaware US Attorney, David Weiss, fell through, what did Garland do?  He appointed Weiss as a special counsel to investigate Hunter.  WHAT?  Let me get this straight.  The prosecutor who gave Hunter such a sweetheart deal that the judge rejected it, the prosecutor who let the statute of limitations pass on some of the more serious allegations against Hunter, the prosecutor who is accused by IRS whistleblowers of obstructing their investigation, is now the special counsel?  Is he going to investigate his own involvement in possible obstruction?  I don't know who is more corrupt - Merrick Garland for appointing Weiss, or Weiss for not resigning. 

Meanwhile, Trump... 

  

Objection, Your Honor!

I guess I should not have been surprised when the Judge in the January 6 case against Trump set a trial date of March 4, 2024 - the day before Super Tuesday, when 15 states hold their primary election.  So what do we know about Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will be presiding over the trial?  She was appointed by President Obama.  Newsweek reported that she contributed $1500. to the Obama campaign in 2008/2009.  And a site called World Wire said this:  "According to the Washington Post, she has been the harshest sentencing judge in those instances (presiding over more than 30 January 6 trials), imposing at least some jail or prison time in every case and occasionally going more than the term recommended by prosecutors."    

The New York Times reported that Judge Chutkan said this:  "Mr. Trump, like any defendant, will have to make the trial date work regardless of his schedule...there is a societal interest to a speedy trial."  Objection, Your Honor!  Mr. Trump is decidedly not like any defendant, as this is the first time in American history that a former President has been indicted.  Furthermore, this trial does not just involve Mr. Trump, it involves the public's right to choose their president.  

Currently, Mr. Trump is the leading Republican candidate for president.  And the case is being prosecuted by the administration of his opponent.  The entire thing smacks of election interference by Mr. Biden, Your Honor.  I would respectfully submit that the defense request for a trial date after the election should have been honored, in light of the obvious appearance of a conflict on the part of the government.  As for the "societal interest to a speedy trial," the Sixth Amendment says it is the defendant's right to a speedy trial.  Clearly he was willing to waive that.  The Constitution does not give "society" the right to a speedy trial.  Imagine all the perils if that were the case, especially in emotional and controversial cases.  

The Daily Mail reported that, in setting the March 4 trial date, the judge said to imagine that the defendant was a professional athlete.  The judge then indicated that it would be "inappropriate for me to schedule a trial date to accommodate her schedule.  The same is true here."  I was not in the courtroom.  But if the Daily Mail is accurately quoting the Judge, then Objection, Your Honor!  I do not see how a professional athlete missing some games equates to tying the hands of the leading Republican candidate for the office of President of the United States.  

The prosecution sought a protective order regarding what Mr. Trump might be allowed to say pre-trial.  Judge Chutkan:  "What the effects of my order are on a political campaign are not going to influence my decision.  This is a criminal trial...The defendant's desire to conduct a campaign, to respond to political opponents, has to yield."  Objection, Your Honor!  Your Honor has set a March 4 trial date.  The Manhattan case (alleged hush money) has a March 25 trial date.  And the Florida documents case is set for May 20.  These cases combined clearly interfere with Mr. Trump's ability to campaign, to spend time on the campaign trail.  And, such a protective order arguably denies him the right to reply to Mr. Biden's attacks on him.  Your Honor, there are multiple reasons to delay this trial until after the election.

The defense has indicated that they intend to file numerous motions.  This means that while preparing for this historic trial, they need to spend time researching the law in support of their motions.  These motions include issues of executive immunity, the First Amendment right to speech, challenging some of the subpoenas that have been issued, and whether Mr. Trump, as President, could be charged with obstruction.   

The defense argued that they needed more time to prepare for trial, with a case involving nearly 13 million pages of documents.  Besides, the prosecutor waited for 2 1/2 years after January 6 to bring their case against Trump.  Judge Chutkan:  "Discovery in 2023 is not sitting in a warehouse with boxes of paper looking at every single page," indicating that the defense could use keyword searches in databases.  

Objection, Your Honor!  I have tried hundreds of cases in my career.  Admittedly, they have all been workers compensation cases, no criminal cases.  But the idea is the same.  It is by finding all the details in the multitude of records that allows me to prove my case, and pick apart my opponent's case.  Admittedly, Your Honor, I may be a little obsessive-compulsive about this.  Okay, a lot.  But it has worked for me, and I believe the defense should, in fact, have the opportunity to review all the documents, and not just have to look at a database.   

In closing, Your Honor, I would remind the Court that Mr. Trump's 2016 opponent, Ms. Clinton, never accepted that she lost.  She repeatedly called Mr. Trump an illegitimate president, who only won because of Russian collusion.  In fact, Your Honor, Mr. Biden's party impeached Mr. Trump over the phony Russian collusion story.  And many Democrats have continued to deny that Mr. Trump won, even after Mr. Mueller issued his report.  

Yet, in 2020, with virtually every state using mail-in ballots because of the pandemic, with mail-in ballots obviously being less secure than people having to show up in person, Mr. Trump was not allowed to challenge those election results?  Your Honor, the American people deserve to have a campaign run equally by both candidates, not with one candidate having both hands tied behind his back, and with his lips sealed - especially when his opponent is the one doing the tying.  Thank you, Your Honor.      

I'm Sick Of It! Part III

The Biden White House has been caught in yet another lie.  They initially denied putting any pressure on social media companies (such as Meta/Facebook and Twitter, now X) to censor content that the Administration deemed objectionable.  However, as a result of court ordered discovery, we learn that the Biden White House did improperly pressure social media companies.

In a July 29-30, 2023 Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal (by Philip Hamburger and Jenin Yonnes), we are told:  "In April 2021, Facebook (now Meta) executive Nick Clegg wrote to the company's leaders, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg:  'We are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the White House and the press, to remove more Covid-19 vaccine discouraging content.'"  Pressure from the White House and the press, aka the Democrat Party-mainstream media complex.    

The authors continued:  "Mr. Clegg recounted a conversation he had with Andy Slavitt, then White House senior adviser for the Covid response.  Mr. Clegg wrote that Mr. Slavitt was 'outraged' that Facebook hadn't taken down a meme, which joked that 10 years from now trial-lawyer commercials would be soliciting the vaccinated to seek damages."  

No surprise, Facebook caved.  And the trial judge said this:  the actions by the administration were "arguably the most massive attack against free speech in United States' history."  But not to worry.  We can talk about January 6 and Trump.  

We know the Democrats are beside themselves regarding the makeup of the Supreme Court.  The latest broadside attack on the Court comes from 10 of the 11 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee.  They sent a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts "demanding that he force Justice Alito to disqualify himself from specific cases based on the interview" (which Justice Alito gave to the WSJ).  

All 9 members of the Court disagree, having previously signed a "Statement on Ethics Principles and Practices."  Among other things, the statement includes this:  "Justices have a duty to sit that precludes withdrawal  from a case as a matter of convenience or simply to avoid controversy."  It goes on to state that the individual Justices get to decide recusal issues.  But we know what those 10 senators care about - getting the "right" result in cases before the Court, regardless of the means used.  Once again, the Democrats have tipped their hand, revealing their complete disdain for the Constitution and the separation of powers.  

I want to end with a couple of thoughts that I believe are particularly apropos.  I may be repeating myself, but the best phone call I ever heard to any talk radio show was a woman caller to Dennis Prager.  She was Jewish, but this applies to everyone on the left.  She said her father always listened to Prager and always agreed with him.  Prager is a conservative.  Then Prager asked the caller how her father voted, and without hesitation she said he always voted for Democrats.  You see, notwithstanding the various issues that I have discussed in today's 3 posts, and notwithstanding any Democrat reader saying they completely agree with me, they will always vote Democrat.

For the most part, they suffer no cognitive dissonance.  They often lead conservative lives, and teach their children conservative values.  Doesn't matter.  I was the same way, until I wasn't.  Until I became disgusted by what the Democrat Party was selling.  But today's Democrats show no inclination to engage in that type of self-reflection.  You may tell them they think that the party they belong to is made up of liberal Democrats, but that it's not.  It's a leftist party, with much in common with earlier leftist/communist parties.  It won't matter.  Zero self-reflection.  

Final thought.  In January, 2021, I said that President Trump should be out of politics.  And I meant it.  But what if the 2024 election turns out to be a rematch between Biden and Trump?  I surely wouldn't vote for the corrupt destroyer of the country, Biden.  Would I vote for Trump?  I can't say.  After all, I would not want to risk being prosecuted for conspiracy, like Trump's attorneys.

I'm Sick Of It! Part II

The Democrat Party-mainstream media complex has been highly effective in indoctrinating the public.  After all, the left-wing Democrat Party-media complex is everywhere.  The mainstream media repeats whatever the Biden administration tells them.  The same messaging is in movies and on TV.  Think about who the people are writing the scripts.  And, of course, the colleges and universities are filled with left-wing professors.  But if you really want to control the hearts and minds of the citizenry, start when they are young.  Because, just like in communist countries, the left believes that children belong to the state.

As we know, the latest idea is that parents are not really parents.  The state has the role of parent.  The Governor of Washington State has signed into law a bill that permits minors to get sex reassignment surgery without their parents consent (although I should say, without the consent of the egg donor and the sperm donor).  This idea is part of a movement among the states run by Democrats.  The communists never viewed the family as anything but a threat to the state.  Sounds familiar.  

Here's a good one.  The California State Board of Education has issued new guidelines for the teaching of mathematics.  While they say the guidelines are "voluntary," there is little doubt that teachers and school administrators will feel pressure to follow them.  Here are some of the chapter titles.  "Teaching for Equity and Engagement," Structuring School Experiences for Equity and Engagement," and "Supporting Educators in Offering Equitable and Engaging Mathematics Instruction."  Does anyone seriously believe that the State Board of Education gives a damn about helping students excel in mathematics?    

Here's what the guidelines instruct teachers.  "Be committed to social justice work."  "Equip students with a toolkit and mindset to identify and combat inequities with mathematics."  "Mathematics plays a role in the power structures and privileges that exist within our society."  The Board recommends that Algebra I no longer be taught in middle school.  That will interfere with students being able to take calculus in high school, as the usual track is Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry.  You want our country to excel in areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)?  Then speak up!  Write letters to your papers and to the appropriate school authorities.  Because the idea is to dumb down the teaching, not raise everyone up.  Jaime Escalante must be turning over in his grave.  

The indoctrination occurs at all levels of the education system.  The California Community College system has 116 campuses with 1.8 million students.  But the latest rules for professors and staff within that system tells those employees they must adhere to the ideas of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA).  Here are some of the ideas.  "Develop and implement a pedagogy and/or curriculum that promotes a race-conscious and intersectional lens."  "Advocate for and advance DEI and anti-racist goals and initiatives."  Because we don't have enough division in this country.  Let's aim for a race war.  

Here is my favorite:  "Participate in a continuous cycle of self-assessment of one's growth and commitment to DEI and acknowledgement of any internalized personal biases and racial superiority or inferiority."  Someone please tell me how that is not IDENTICAL to the type of reprogramming that has occurred in communist societies.  One professor, with the help of the Institute for Free Speech, has sued, claiming the guidelines cannot be followed without "violating his conscience and surrendering his academic freedom."  

Here are some other gems from these guidelines.  Antiracists "understand that racism is pervasive and has been embedded into all societal structures."  "Persons are either anti-racist or racist."  "Merit is embedded in the ideology of Whiteness and upholds race-based structural inequality."  The ideology of Whiteness?  No wonder the military is having a difficult time with recruiting.  Who wants to fight for and defend such a horribly racist country.  Let's just turn the keys over to the Chinese, Russians and Iranians.  That'll be an improvement.    

You couldn't pay me enough money to send my kids to public schools and colleges today.   

I'm Sick Of It! Part I

This latest indictment out of Georgia puts the total counts against Trump at 91, with an overall potential prison sentence of 712 1/2 years.  Which I realize is still not enough for many of these sick Democrats.  What's the point of all these indictments?  Yes, they want to see Trump die in prison.  Yes, they want to interfere with his ability to campaign for 2024.  But I believe it is also intended to be a huge distraction from the way the Democrats are destroying this country, with the aid of the mainstream media.  At the very end of "A Tale Of Two Presidents, Part III," I said:  "I am far less concerned with the events of January 6, which is over and done with, than I am with the ongoing Democrat party-mainstream media complex."  Here's why.

Let's start with our southern border.  As of October, 2022, 5.5 million people entered the country illegally from the time Biden took office.  Here was Biden's Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, on 3/21/21:  "The border is secure.  The border is closed."  Of course, if you only watch MSNBC or CNN, you would not see what Fox viewers see - hundreds (thousands?) of people crossing illegally every day.  Here's lying Mayorkas again:  "The entire system was dismantled by the prior administration...torn down during the Trump administration."  Right.  Meanwhile, Biden is selling off pieces of the unused border wall that Trump wanted to complete.

And who's in bed with the human smugglers and drug cartels?  Joe Biden.  With the border not being secure, 19,663 pounds of fentanyl have been seized in fiscal year 2023 to date.  The question is, how much has slipped through, resulting in the deaths of tens (hundreds?) of thousands.  

How about crime generally?  For LA County, I took a look at the change over the last ten years, from 2013 to 2022.  According to the LA Almanac, violent crimes increased from 40,384 to 61,016.  Homicides?  From 543 to 739.  Rape?  From 1,752 to 3,869.  Aggravated assaults?  From 21,306 to 38,970.  Who gets the "credit?"  Defund the police Democrats.  Left-wing Democrat district attorneys.  Soft on crime policies, locally and statewide.  LAPD is down to 8,967 sworn officers, lowest in 20 years.  And a ridiculously low number for the second biggest city in the country.  And perhaps the crime statistics are even worse, if people see no reason to report crimes when nothing happens anyway.

Crime is so bad in San Francisco, that the federal government told those working in the federal building there to not come in, to work remotely.  That's nice.  The federal government conceding control of the city to the criminals.  Homeless encampments on the streets of many California cities.  People shooting up or smoking dope, and urinating and defecating on the public streets.  Flash mobs entering retail outlets, grabbing tens of thousands of dollars of merchandise, and running out to waiting cars.  One of the perpetrators involved in the Nordstrom mob looting was caught.  So what?  He was immediately released with no bail.  

Plenty of people and businesses have been moving out of California.  After the 2020 census, California even lost a seat in the House of Representatives for the first time.  But look on the bright side.  The Dems are trying to make the rest of the country look like California.

Recently, some 7-11 employees stopped a shoplifter, with one employee being seen on store video beating the perpetrator with some kind of stick.  Good for those store employees.  They should get some type of reward.  Ah, but this is California.  So along comes a state senator with a proposed state law that would criminalize stopping the shoplifters.  So while the shoplifters are ever more brazen, engaging in their criminal enterprise in broad daylight, the proposal is "let's punish the law-abiding citizens fighting the criminals."  The state senator believes it is a police matter.  How moronic.  Can the police be everywhere all the time?  How about every retail establishment posting a sign "Looters shall be shot on sight."  (For any law enforcement personnel who may be reading this, I'm just kidding.)  

The New York Times' Continued Hatred of Netanyahu and Israel

On page 4 of the July 31, 2023 edition of the Times was a full page story (with pictures) with this headline:  "Democracy May Hang On Israeli Court's Move."  The subheadline is this:  "Parliamentary Challenge to Judiciary Creates Dilemma Familiar in More Autocratic States."  There you have it.  Any change in the judiciary results in Israel becoming an autocratic state.  It's nonsense.

The article then goes on to suggest that with the elimination of the Israeli High Court's ability to review government actions based on the "reasonableness" standard, Israel will become an autocracy.  Like Hungary under Viktor Orban.  (See the March 28 and March 30, 2023 posts for a full discussion of the "reasonableness" standard and other proposed judicial changes in Israel.)  

In our country, Democrats regularly attack the Supreme Court.  Many of us were stunned when Obama openly criticized the Court during his State of the Union speech in 2010, with some of the Justices sitting right in front of him.  Obama:  "With all due deference to the separation of powers (the Citizens United decision) reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign corporations - to spend without limit in our elections."  Obama had no respect for the separation of powers - see "A Tale Of Two Presidents, Part I.")  Funny how it was never a concern when unions spent unlimited money in support of Democrat candidates. 

Recall Senator Schumer (D-NY) standing outside the Supreme Court building and threatening the Court regarding the abortion issue:  "I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh.  You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.  You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."  Quite astounding to see a US Senator threaten Justices of the Court.  

How about the brief filed by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Richard Durbin (D-Ill) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).  In their brief, these Democrats said the Court was "not well."  They went on to threaten that the Court might be "restructured" if it did not "heal itself."  The Democrats wanted the Court to dismiss a case involving a New York City gun law.  Why wasn't the Court well?  Because now it had a conservative majority.  

Not surprisingly, the Republican senators were united in their pushback against the threat to the Court.  But Whitehouse stood firm, and replied as follows:  "The response to our brief from Republicans and the partisan donor interests driving the Court's polarization shows exactly why it's time to speak out...They want us to shut up about their capture of the Court, we will not."

There you have it.  This brief by the Democrats was filed in a case after the Court had a conservative majority.  Whitehouse and the others were never concerned when the the Democrats/liberals "captured" the Court.  Partisan donor interests?  Is that because no left-leaning partisan donors ever bring cases to the Court?  Please.  Whether it's Israel or the United States, the left is unable to tolerate the Court having a conservative majority.  One of the proposed judicial reform changes in Israel would end the practice of sitting justices (mostly left-wing) having a veto power over who would replace them.  Instead, the Knesset, Israel's elected parliament, would be able to select justices.  

What's the problem with politicians selecting the justices, just as we have in the US?  The problem is that the current government in Israel is a conservative government.  Therefore, the government might be in a position to select conservative justices.  The left, such as the New York Times, can no more tolerate that in Israel than they can here.  

It may shock you to see this from a Harvard law professor (Mark Tushnet) and San Francisco State political science professor (Aaron Belkin).  But here is their letter to President Biden.  "We urge President Biden to restrain MAGA justices immediately by announcing that if and when they issue rulings that are based on gravely mistaken interpretations of the Constitution...the Administration will be guided by its own constitutional interpretations."  

That is pretty clear - if you don't like the Court's ruling, ignore it.  In all of these cases cited above, the left shows time after time that they have no respect for the Court, and no respect for one of the fundamental cornerstones of our democracy - the separation of powers.  Biden has already adhered to these professors' advice, by finding a 'workaround" to the Court's decision denying him the power to forgive student loan debt.

Remind me again about who the threat to our democracy really is.
