SCOTUS Hides & Law Loses

SCOTUS spoke, and their authored words left much to be desired. If a state has no standing to enforce the electors clause, no one does. If SCOTUS cannot resolve a Presidential election riddled with illegality, who can? It makes the electors clause a dead letter provision in the Constitution and SCOTUS look like useless librarians. This also signals SCOTUS will play Pontius Pilate throughout this election, wash their hands of what took place, and abandon the mediating role their position in the Constitutional order called for, which is sad for the Court itself.

The problem is still the same as when we started: too little institutional support for Trump or populist Constitutional causes. We now have two more institutions exposed as either incompetent or corrupt: our elections & the judiciary's handling of elections.

The lasting remedy, too, remains the same: ordinary people organizing & empowering a populist reform movement that relights the candle of liberty for the world. All worthy causes meet their match on a proverbial Pettus Bridge, and it can be ugly, as this has been to witness. American revolutionary spirit lives on as long as we breathe it. The greatest resource against wrong is still good people fighting for right. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people they cannot make a difference. Hope never dies unless we let it. All great stories see the hero face a seemingly insurmountable crisis; indeed, we are about to celebrate what some call the greatest story ever told, and there, the hero gets crucified at the end of the 2nd act. The 3rd act here is yet to be written. Let's be part of writing it.

We made it back safe!

Going to write a book review right now. Just wanted to let everyone know that we made it back safe and sound.

We noticed the car was vibrating yesterday. I thought it was wheel alignment issues.

This is what we saw we got home.

Thank goodness we did not have a problem on the highway! Chattanooga to Boca in one day.

The event was fantastic. It was great meeting everyone!

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of July 31, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • My idea for a perfect Saturday brunch, sitting by an open window in Venice along the canals, fresh flowers gracing the table and balcony, the blue skies and 18th century buildings smiling back, gondoliers parked, an Italian meal awaiting, in this Atlantis of cultured living. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • Hubris infects the strong, not the weak; the clever, not the  knave; the smart, not the illiterate; the previously successful, not the prior failed. It’s what makes it so inviting, so tempting, and so destructive — precisely because it infects the very people who need to be most immune from it.

The Barnes Brief: Thursday, July 30, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The well worn wooden desk, the papers stacked, the lamp lit office, the window’s view to the outer worls, the chalkboard for inspiration, the books stacked, the deep leather chair, and a bottle of bourbon for the work’s end. A perfect office. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Hubris is the arrogance that just scrapes the stars as it falls fast and furious to the demise of its exhibitor.”

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, July 29, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Venetian arched bridge above, the old walls of the city surround, the bricklaid road ahead, the dance of light against the alley, as the shadow makes us bigger than ourselves. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from self-destruction.” Zeena Shreck.
