+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Erick Erickson chimes in with a cold blast: Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, is under a federal investigation and would love a presidential pardon. His lawsuit is just more performative leg humping by someone desperate to curry favor with President Trump. The various attorneys general who have joined his lawsuit all want to either get re-elected or seek higher office. Joining the lawsuit gives them some measure of ring kissing or protection from any rabid Trump supporters who wanted a “just fight” moment. I personally think my company should pay me workers compensation for brain damage for having to read that lawsuit and related filings. It really is one of the stupidest bits of performative leg humping we have seen in the last five years. These attorneys general are willing to beclown themselves and their states all to get in good with the losing presidential candidate. The suit is absurd on its face. These states seek to interfere in the internal affairs of other states when those states are not actually electing the President, but allowing their voters to chose members of the Electoral College. Were this to succeed, which it will not, the states will start suing each other at every election as a bit of theater. Let me explain just how absurd this case is:
This will persuade the fool and the gullible, but these are not meritorious arguments, particularly when many of the states on the plaintiff’s side of the lawsuit have done similar things and thus have unclean hands. The level of debasement these people have been willing to engage in makes them seem more the ball-gagged gimp from Pulp Fiction, humiliating themselves for their master. They should be ashamed and embarrassed. The bottom line is this — the voters of states must act within their own states and be responsible for their own elections. Texas does not get to dictate the internal affairs of other states particularly when Texas is not directly impacted by a fellow semi-sovereign nation within these united States of America choosing its own members of the Electoral College. The remedy is not the Supreme Court’s intervention on behalf of some sore losers, but challenging the electors in the House of Representatives, which these people know is a fight they will lose. But they already know that is the remedy too. If Texas were to win this, it would dissolve the horizontal federalism of our union and only expand the powers of the federal government. It would also lead to a Civil War as a handful of states overturn the rules and laws of other states and dictate those states’ internal affairs. Wait for Gavin Newsom and Andrew Cuomo to give this precedent a whirl. Wait for progressive states to start suing conservative states over religious liberty, transgender rights, police brutality, tax policies that “steal” residents of progressive states, etc. If voters in Georgia are outraged with the outcome in Georgia, their remedy is not for Texas to save them from themselves, but for them to save themselves by moving to Texas or voting differently in the next election. Even the voters of Georgia do not constitutionally have the right to sue their own state for the general enforcement of election laws. Other states surely stand in even a worse position. Empowering Texas in this case just empowers progressive states to do the same later. The mere filing of this case sets a dangerous precedent. Ultimately, however, the Supreme Court is unlikely to give Texas what is wishes and Ken Paxton perhaps will not get his pardon. I’m really tired of the Republican Party beclowning itself for a losing candidate out of fear for that candidate’s voters. That is all this is and delusions of fools notwithstanding, despite all sorts of stupid arguments being wrapped in pomp and “equal protection” phraseology, the election is over and Joe Biden will be President-Elect officially next week. Guys, come on — you’re just going to spark crazy to violence at this point. The election wasn’t stolen and most of you know it and those of you who don’t know it need to, at some point, realize you’ve been lied to. And frankly, Ken Paxton needs to work on repentance for a whole lot of stuff. And Dov Fischer as well but with a different view point: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Make up your own mind about this accusation: It's about 43 min long... don't have time to watch all of it... PLEASE WATCH the key portion Georgians MUST watch/see starts at: 28:49... to about 32.03 - Georgia is in major trouble and Gov. Kemp is compromised more than ever. This explains why he is a "Never Trumper" and why he won't provide support for getting a fair and transparent election. This is so bad! And: How more PC can you get? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This from one of my father's former partners: Thank you, Dick, for your donation to your Father’s scholarship fund in my name. As you know, Abe Berkowitz made a huge impact on my life, and I often wondered why he bothered with me. I was just a blue-collar kid from the sidewalks of North Birmingham, who showed up to see him. I didn’t know enough to call for an appointment. I went to law school never having known a lawyer, and when I met him, I knew that I was on the right track. But I don’t need to tell you all this. You already know how I loved your Father. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Salena finds traditions we can hold on to.
