The Roberts Court continues to play its part in the Republican Party’s crucible to overthrow the constitution, and attain a new level of ignominy and infamy for the court far out passing The Taney (Dred Scott) and Fuller (Plessy) Courts.

Roberts began his constitutional assassination by eviscerating the Voting rights in Shelby County, emasculating Article 4 §4, with Citizens United, and declaring Article V, the amendment article, as invalid. Article V states, “ The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress;(emphasis added) Congressman John Bingham from Ohio, Sen Thaddeus Stevens from Pennsylvania and Senator Charles Sumner of Mass., were the principal architects of the 14th Amendment and they scrupulously followed the rules of Article V. Our constitution is not a code and as such does not break down every Article and Amendment in detail, but relies on an honest and deliberative democratic congress to act fairly on behalf of all of the people in the United States.

Today, Robert’s court apparently did not believe that Article V applied to the 14th Amendment, I don’t care what they said or how they attempted to justify it. However, they did toss us a solid gold bone when they specifically said, “We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office.” (page 6) In other words, all of the Republicans who serve or want to serve in a state legislature or hold another state office can be disqualified under the 14th Amendment §3, the insurrection clause. The Supreme Court has given us the opportunity to eliminate numerous Republican seats in State Legislatures by their specific ruling today! We need to take advantage of this ruling. I intend to test that ruling by here in Pennsylvania against Republican legislators who signed and/or cooperated with the National Republican Party’s fake elector scheme, supported the Texas’s action to challenge the Pennsylvania right to hold our own election, and conspired to disenfranchise their own voters. Moreover, at a meeting here in Gettysburg Pa., on November 25, Trump, acting in concert with and facilitated by Jenna Ellis and Rudy Guiliani conspired with the Pennsylvania Senate Republican Policy Committee five days after Judge Brann threw out Trump’s challenge to the Pennsylvania vote to overthrow the election.

All of the arguments, legal briefs and Amici Briefs that were filed in the official record in an attempt to keep trump off the ballots in the states, can be used against Republicans to throw them off of the ballots for primary or general elections for the same reasons. Even using Trump’s own words. In every state where Republicans used nefarious schemes to unlawfully throw out election results for President and somehow not entirely throw out the whole ballot in which the Republicans would have voided their own elections, as well as other down ballot candidates. The crime is Conspiracy and conspiracies do not have to be successful to be charged. (Anderson v. U.S.) 417 US 211, 1974. It is enough that two or more persons agreed to commit the act as noted in Anderson to interfere in an election. We should bring state charges, commensurate with the Federal Conspiracy charge at 18 USC 371, to keep out of Article III Courts. SCOTUS has ruled and Article VI , the supremacy clause, prevails at every level of state court, including any State’s Supreme Court.

I believe there are several reasons not to be afraid of Trump and his sycophantic minions.

1) The modern version of tabloid journalism is alive and well with what is commonly referred to as “social media”. These people were and still are the people who support The Star, The Globe, the National enquirer and the like. These tabloid publications are full of equal parts lies, a splash of half-truths, and equally generous portions of just plain ignorance, stupidity, and nonsense. They only appeal to each other and as surly as night must follow day they will tire of the repetition and as stupid ignorant people are wont to do, will become bored and will move on to the next salacious and scatological diversion; like Trump’s trial with a porn star.

2) Statistics, for instance Michigan has a population of a little over ten million people upon which dictates the number of representatives (electoral votes) Michigan is allotted. There are a total of seven million, seven hundred twenty one thousand, and four hundred and eighty two total registered voters. Democratic voters with uncommitted and others totaled 767,851, and for Republicans 1,114,151 with uncommitted and others, for a total number of voters 1,882,002 who showed up to vote. .099443 or about 10% for Dems and .144292 for Republicans, about 15% of the TOTAL NUMBER OF REGISTERED VOTERS out of almost 8 million. The mass media played up the big numbers of 81% for Biden and 68% for Trump. I think the important number is that only about 25% of voters or 0.0182 % approx. 2% of the total population of the entire state is making a decision for ten million people.

The results for South Carolina are similar. Out of 5.5 million residents, and 3.25 million registered voters only a little over 800 thousand registered voters turned out in toto for percentage of approx., .246153, almost 25% of registered voters and .148148, approx., 15% of the total population of South Carolina. In Michigan and South Carolina almost 75% of the electorate stayed home. Lots of room and time for people to settle down and between now and November. I believe these are the important numbers for us to know and not the inflated numbers portrayed by the mass media attributed to one particular candidate.

3) Trump may suffer a medical disaster or some type of misadventure, end up in jail or worse—he has managed to insult just about every special interest group, women, handicapped, veterans, secret service, CIA, FBI, not to mention foreign friends, all who have plenty of time to “intervene” on behalf of their own special interests.

4) An aggressive use of the Supreme Court’s ruling today in which states may disqualify persons holding office or attempting to hold state office, are vulnerable to the 14th Amendment §3 Insurrection Clause. Effective use of this tool could dramatically impact the make up of the house and senate of every state and put the brakes on some of the pending anti voting legislation. It would also help if enough states used the tactic to gain control of the state legislature to ratify a constitutional amendment. Simply stated we should elect every Democratic and Independent candidate we can for every office at every level to elect a majority in the state and federal legislature to impeach and convict all of the Mitch McConnell and Leonard Leo Republican members of the Supreme Court in order to overrule all of the violence done to voting rights, women, etc., and Trump, if he wins the election.

Part of my legal complaint and the banner which will I place at the top of my soon to be launched online paper every day until the election, is provided thru the courtesy of Jonathan Karl, quoting a high ranking Trump White house official,

“He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring. He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in our nation and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy and the rule of law.” (pg. 263) “Tired of Winning” ©2023 Jonathan Karl, -- DUTTON Penguin Random House LLC

The above citation describes in detail the character of the man that the Republican party wants to follow and obey. He is an adjudicated liar, cheat, thief and sexual pervert and has created a Republican Party that has devolved into a sadistic, terroristic amalgam of political usurpers who want to kill our country, our government and as of Jan 6, 2021, us.
