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.

AOC will run for president…

AOC was asked if she’s going to run for president.

Her body language is very telling.

First, you clearly see that it’s the status / power she finds alluring. The high regard that she holds herself in by virtue of the question itself.

But her behavior and subtle admission belies her denial / deflection.

She has the obligation to remain focused on midterms, and “not on our individual aspirations or plans”.

Well, there’s your answer.

Also, look at the contempt she has on her face when answering the question about Chuck Schumer at the end.

Can’t record the actual debate, but this is what the setup looks like. It’s pretty amazing.

This is one heck of an eclectic gang.

I can’t post on stage content. But I will post an update.

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

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.

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.”
