e-commentary

J          “Wrong.  Period.”

K          “Right.  Full Stop.”

. . .

K          “The Constitution says ‘We the People of the United States’ not ‘I a sniveling petty night traffic court judge in a backwater jurisdiction of the United States who despises Trumpi and will do anything and everything to defeat him’.  Every person is entitled to due process and a fair and objective hearing in the proper jurisdiction applying applicable law.”

J          “We live in a federalist system that allows and requires the states to act at the right time and in the right circumstance.  The state of Colorado acting through its judicial branch acted properly and commendably.” 

. . .

K          “If there were three more of what I refer to as ‘individualist’ judges – although that term is now incomplete and inadequate – the decision likely would have been 12 – 0.”

J          “Time to appoint non-lawyers to the Court.”

. . .

K          “Was it really a 5 – 4 decision?  When I awake at 0400 hours, I will parse the decision a few more times.  Did Roberts, Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito and Kavanaugh affirmatively rule that Congress has the sole power to enforce the ‘Insurrection’ provision?”

J          “Another thing to worry about at four a.m.  That may be the ‘take home message’ and consequence.”

. . .

K          “The country is coming apart.  The world is ready to explode.  We may not see opening day of grayling season.  The decision has the added virtue of being profoundly restrained and responsible.”

J          “The person dividing the country is now free to continue dividing the country.  He is unrestrained and irresponsible.”   

. . .

K          “I will never again be able to condemn the Supreme Court unconditionally.”   

J          “I dissent.  I am currently and will remain disgusted by their abdication.”

. . .

J          “You’re not getting weak on me?”

K          “Still despise him.  When he emerged, Trumpi was really the ‘symptom’ not the ‘Big Problem’ in the country.  However, now he has metastasized into another ‘Problem’ that plagues the country.”

Bumper stickers of the week:

“Law” and “War” are almost anagrams and read together (Lawwar) are almost palindromes.  

Lawfare = Law + (war)fare.  Very bad idea
