Forgive me dear readers, but I’m about to make a very short set of observations. The pain of my conscience for a short time exceeds that of my body.
I’ve lost track for how long I recognized and argued that every increasingly liberal treatment of criminals serves to benefit politicians who recognize that subsequent increases in crime benefit those who will gain more power as the dangers to the public consequently increase. I first made the connection over thirty years ago with arguments favoring the death penalty that were so persuasive at Prodigy* that my opponents got me banned.
I lack the enegry to build this up properly. So here is the core of the point I hope will prime the pump to build arguments that our Congress-critters need to fear too much to ignore.
How can Congress continue to let this Venezuelan gang get protection from our SCOTUS? Isn’t it plain as day that that communist country released its criminals so they could invade US? Isn’t that an act of war?
Why aren’t we screaming at Congress to declare war in kind? Once declared, SCOTUS dare not then continue to ignore the Trump administration’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
How many in Congress have taken campaign funds that have some connection to Venezuela? How many in Congress appear to favor criminal alien rights over citizen rights to live freely? Are those members of congress also the same ones who favor liberalized criminal penalties and prosecutions? As I have argued –and so should many other patriots — so called liberal policies serve to increase the size of government which, in practice, reduces citizen freedom. Hence, statists love criminals.
Even criminals who’ve been allowed to invade us without any process, but now those same “liberal” forces are insisting those invaders NOW get due process.
Just how many members of Congress have been and are committing treason?
TDS distorts good judgement.
The treason is more likely to be the failure to rein in the growing debt.
Don’t doubt there is very likely a globalist connection behind both forms of treason.
Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare , all three are ticking time bombs that were created to be such by design at their inception. They make up 2/3 of the budget requirements and produce a revenue shortfall every year. Very shortly they will collapse the Dollar hard and will take the global economy with it.
None of this would be an issue, if the SCOTUS had been put back in their Constitutional role long ago. THAT is the original sin, the moment they granted themselves the power of judicial review, it was used to subvert the will of the people by nullifying the vote. There is a remedy available to fix this, but it would require a Constitutional Convention and a direct intervention by the people to amend the Constitution, to claw back the power of the judiciary.
Is it that unlikely that Congress can be pressured into dialing back the lower courts so that SCOTUS loses some of the power it exploits?
This idea follows from the same in this post about pressuring Congress with loud and incessant voices about declaring that we are in a war started by Venezuela. That alone short-circuits the latest SCOTUS ruling. After all, we don’t provide due process to enemy soldiers, we shoot them or place them in POW camps. Our currently preferred one appears to be in El Salvador.
Who knows? If that works maybe there will finally be a groundswell movement to go on and do exactly want you propose. That is the gradual way to move towards a conservative solution.
Ancillary to your point is this comment that just appeared about the meaning of failed states.
