Day 1193 – Baby Snakes

Friday, April 26, 2024

I have been warned that baby poisinous snakes are more dangerous than their adult version. The reason being that a young snake does not know restraint when biting and hence let’s all their venom out, while an adult only uses some. Hence, the baby snake is more likely to kill you.

I listened to various people discussing the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on whether or not a President is immune from prosecution. The question is very straight forward, but the men on the court, all appointed by Republicans and called conservative, orginalists, and minimalists did everything they could to dodge the question. They wandered into hypothetical questions (not relevant). They digressed. They suggested that they should delay. They never took up the central question.

It was pointed out in Bush Vs Gore they decided the day after oral arguments. Now? They want to wait. They have forgotten our history, our law, our founding principles and for what? For a man who has abused his power, who has cheated and lied his entire life. A man who has said if re-elected will destroy our government, our democracy.

It has also been pointed out that the case has been hear and decided by every court on the way up to the Supreme Court and that there was no reason for them to take it up.

Now. Now we wait. There seem to be four votes to say, “No, a President can not commit crimes while in office and not be prosecuted for it.” Is there a fifth? That we aren’t sure of at this point in time. 

This should be a 9-0 decision. It is so basic. 

One commentator said that well at least the mask had been taken off. These are not impartial justices. These are politicians in black robes doing the bidding of their masters.

Someone save us! 

We have to face ourselves. “We have seen the enemy and they is us,” Pogo.

The adult and the baby snakes are nipping away.
