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.

On the beach today

Had to take the kids somewhere by the beach, so went for a jog as I wait.

People watching is incredible.

Seeing people who are out of shape clearly trying to get into shape.

Seen parents playing with their kids in the ocean.

I passed the same guy every time I come to the beach.

An older man, with long silver hair wearing American flag shorts.

Every time we pass each other, he gives me the thumbs up and says “awesome!”.

He reminds me of the quintessential Hollywood Vietnam veteran. Enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the beach, contrasted with whatever his life experience was.

Who knows… he could have been a deadhead draft dodger for all I know (and I say that without judgment - I don’t think I would have gone to fight in Vietnam).

And then at the end of my jog, as a reminder of the awesomeness of nature, I captured this:

A. Art of the Day

The mirrored background, the black-and-white flickering images, the flapper girl in the lovely dress, the curved bar, the cocktails waiting, the night beckoning, a past beguiling, a time and place to uncover and discover again, if only in memory’s vault and a photo’s ghosts.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

Just a few tickets left https://www.1776lawcenter.com/

A. Art of the Day

Washington Crossing the Delaware, one of the great portraits of the American revolution, captured the American spirit to this day, more than two centuries after the event and more than a century since Emanuel Leutze’s painting exhibited in 1851. The torrid current, the gusting winds, the eager soldiers furiously rowing against the rising waves, the flag itself against the elements, Washington staring ahead, no turning back. Onward only!

B. Wisdom of the Day

“In all questions of passion, admit reason to govern.” George Washington.
