We are witnessing the destruction of our legal system and Constitutional rights before our eyes. And all it took to begin was a single term of a President the Washington establishment didn't like.
When Donald Trump won the 2016 election the left not only went nuts, but began planning their assault on the Constitution, our legal system, and our election system.
First, they impeached President Trump for a perfectly legal (and justified) phone call that Trump, as the President-elect, made to the President of Ukraine. Even with Democrats holding a majority of both the House and the Senate, he was acquitted. So they began plan B.
The Democrats also attacked and railroaded Mike Flynn in a different assault, but that's another story for another time.
Over the next three years the Democrats planned, and then executed the first and most openly covert steal of a national election in history. Aided greatly by a pandemic, partisan judges in swing states, Democrat controlled polling places, questionable counting procedures, and billions of dollars spent paying people for ballot harvesting, they managed to snatch the election in a manner that convinced courts there was no reason even to hear evidence challenging the election results. As I have said before - Democrats aren't stupid.
Then, after Trump was no longer President, they held an impeachment hearing, charging him with incitement of an insurrection for the events that occurred at the U.S. capitol on January 6, 2021. (No legal charges of insurrection were ever filed against Trump or any other person.) Democrats again failed to convict him, thus rendering the entire proceeding futile, and a waste of time and taxpayer money.
Trump and his attorneys, along with witnesses to the irregularities of counting procedures in swing states, filed numerous cases citing election interference with various courts. Judges, including Supreme Court Justices, refused to hear evidence. They didn't say there wasn't evidence, but only refused to hear it. Those are two different things. Personally, after the Bush/Gore fiasco, I think the SCOTUS simply refused to get involved in an election dispute. But that's me.
The highly partisan January 6th Committee, even after the prime time drama and professional TV production, failed to produce any real results. Yet in December of 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine Secretary of State, citing provisions of the 14th Amendment, found Donald Trump guilty of insurrection, without charges, presentation of evidence, an opportunity for a defense, a jury.... without any due process whatsoever, which is also a provision of the 14th Amendment. Both entities decided Trump could not be on their state primary ballots, because of his (supposed) guilt, enforcement pending appeal to a higher court. Both decisions are in blatant disregard of the Constitution.
Donald Trump, and Trump Derangement Syndrome, have caused Democrats, aided by the left-wing media, to manipulate and/or compromise our Constitution and our legal system in their efforts to control election results. Leftist media pundits praised the decisions to remove Trump from the ballot, many saying Trump's guilt is obvious. Any honest and reputable media outlet would be challenging the Democrats' violation of a citizen's Constitutional rights rather than supporting and praising such abuse of power.
What those praising the unconstitutional actions against Trump don't seem to understand is that if courts and politicians will ignore the Constitutional rights of a former President to get their desired results, they will do it to anyone who dares to oppose them. If the SCOTUS, for whatever reason, refuses to decide on the legality of what Colorado and Maine have done, our elections will forever be rendered useless and our justice system will be changed forever.
