Order in the Court

The Supreme Court has been on a tear lately.  But their decision to provide absolute immunity to a president while acting in an official capacity is a bold move.  It has the Left calling for the impeachment of the Justices.  Dementia Joe popped a couple of Adderall and gave a five-minute teleprompter speech to the White House press gang.  And AOC has sworn vengeance against the conservative majority with a threat to bring up impeachment proceedings against them.  Of course, the Democrats don’t have a majority in the House so that motion will never see the light of day.  But she wants everyone to know she’s really, really mad.  And we can tell because she went through one of her TikTok routines where she flipped her hair a bunch of times, jostled her breasts and wagged her head and index finger in opposite direction and said “Don’t go there!” several times.

So, the question is does anyone in the real-world care?  Well, actually no.  How is anyone supposed to take anything in Washington seriously anymore?  Apparently, the leader of the free world has to be led around by a nurse to keep from falling over and breaking a hip.  And whoever writes his teleprompter text is running the country that day.  And when Doctor Jill is resting that’s probably delegated to one of the White House interns named Madison.

But I’ll have to say that I am pleasantly surprised to see how many helpful rulings they’ve put out in the last couple of years.  College Affirmative Action, the Chevron Deference, Roe v. Wade, Freedom of Religion have all been adjudicated in helpful ways.  Granted their record hasn’t been spotless but their batting average is very respectable.  The biggest decision I’m waiting for is an outright ban on Affirmative Action by the federal government.  That would have far-reaching effects and would neutralize much of the harm that the Deep State causes in this country.

But there is one thing that shouldn’t be forgotten.  The Supreme Court conservative majority is a temporary artifact of the Trump presidency and some random occurrences like the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.  If the Democrats keep the White House in November, it won’t be long before that majority is reduced or even lost.  Both Alito and Thomas are older and one day will have to be replaced.  For that reason, it’s important to make provisions for living in a post Constitutional order.  When constitutional rights have ceased to exist, planning and protective measures will be needed to prevent life from becoming degraded.

But in the short term it has been refreshing to hear the Left squealing like stuck pigs every time a Supreme Court decision is announced.  I chuckled when AOC went to her go-to term, “fascism” when describing the inevitable result if Donald Trump regains the White House and “absolute immunity” is at his disposal.  Now I sympathize with her.  I believe AOC claims she was almost murdered during the January 6^th “insurrection.”  And I’m sure that was rough.  But I think she’s safe from murder.  Maybe not mockery, but murder doesn’t seem likely.  And with his absolute immunity I can imagine Trump mocking her mercilessly.  Fascism!  But funny fascism.
