PRESIDENT TRUMP DID THE JOB I VOTED FOR

Back in 2016 I voted for Donald Trump for a number of reasons. First among them was there was no way I would ever have entrusted my country to the likes of Hillary Clinton. That was never going to happen.

 

Another of the main reasons I voted for Trump was the Supreme Court. I felt he might have the opportunity to name maybe two new Justices. Honestly I didn't think Scalia's seat would need to be filled but it turned out that way. 

 

Trump didn't disappoint. He named two brilliant, Constitutionalist judges to the Court. Well, it happened again. Ginzberg died and opened up another seat on the Court. The President followed the law and the Constitution and named a replacement to the Court. 

 

The Democrats are screaming foul. If I were in their shoes and had the world view that they have, I'd be screaming too. But it's not going to matter. The new Justice will be installed on the Court. 

 

The talking heads say that would give the Court a six to three conservative majority. What? I thought the Supreme Court was supposed to be non-political. Sadly, over the years the Court has become quite political. Of course, when the Court had a liberal majority, the Dems kept their mouths shut. Now, it will be a conservative for many years to come. 

 

Not so fast, say the Dems. We will just win the Presidency, take a majority in the Senate, and then we will pack the court. We will add more Justices until we have our liberal majority again. And, by the way, under the Constitution, the number of Justices is up to the Senate if the President doesn't veto their plan. FDR tried to pack the Court during his term but was denied by the Senate. 

 

Here's the problem. First the Dems have to win the White House and the Senate to have their wish. Then, as soon as the Republicans take those offices back, they will pack the Court even more to regain a conservative majority. So, what is gained? Politicians seem never to be able to connect the dots. 

 

Here's a thought. Why don't we just obey the law and follow the dictates of the Constitution? The reality is that Amy Barret will be confirmed and seated on the Court. And, because of this conservative, Constitutionally directed majority, America will be the winner.

 

We will continue to face serious situations going forward. Liberal policies have unleashed radicals who seem intent on tearing down our entire economic system. Godless socialism has again reared its ugly head. We, the people, are going to have to be heard and soon. Not now and not ever will we allow our government to be destroyed. 

 

We need to rid our educational system of the morons who have wormed their way into positions of authority. We need to be teaching true American history and civics. I think a majority of college students today have no idea how our economy works. I also don't think they know anything about our politics. 

 

To those of you who think these youngsters will be our future leaders, I've got some bad news for you. Most of them couldn't flip hamburgers at Burger King or qualify to enter the military either physically or mentally let alone govern free people. You don't have to look far to prove my point. Look at the major cities currently being run by liberal politicians. Does anybody really believe Newsome or DiBlasio or the Mayor of Seattle could even feed themselves without help?

 

It is past time for some honesty. Our country works because Americans work. Our country works because most Americans are responsible, hard working citizens.

 

Having said all this we still have to consider how we will survive if Trump isn't reelected. With the selection of Barrett to the Court, he has given this country a great gift. With the policies he has put in place and the appointments to the courts he has made, it will be difficult for Biden to reverse the work President Trump has done. He will have left us in a good place.
