The elaborate series of checks and balances in the 1789 constition breaks down when two of the three branches of government are compromised. For example, if the Presidency is working, but the congress and courts are corrupt; the President's check on selecting the court do nothing. Congress is supposed to impeach the courts if they go berserk, but when one half of the two houses is run by nazis, then they will impeach nothing. The constitution says nothing about the court legislating unilaterally, but if everyone treats the court as if it CAN do so, then it is granted godking like powers that are found nowhere in the document.
Today, the US Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling that allows Virginia to purge 1600 voters IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. The 1789 constitution makes the court the supreme one in the land, but NOWHERE does it give it the ability to simply Ignore the Law. Even if you accept Marbury v Madison, let's be clear here. The US Supreme Court did NOT declare the 90 day Federal Moritorium on changing voter rolls unconstiutional.
They just ignored it.
When I called my Senator to beg him for Biden to have a plan, ANY plan besides "an army of lawyers" and "Shocked Pikachu Face" if the court just says,"Donald Trump is President" IGNORING the Electoral College. The democratic plan seems to be "well surely they wont..." THEY JUST DID. They just IGNORED the law, unconstitutionally. The constitutional check and balance is impeachment. Yet congress wont do that. What is plan B?
Ladies and gentlemen, let me answer that for you. The answer is that there is no plan. Short of a full Andrew Jackson there is NO PLAN. "An army of lawyers" only works if the courts are not rampantly corrupt. And if Biden doesnt do anything, that's how you get an actual civil war folks. Where the presidency is CLEARLY given to Harris in an election and the courts just give it to Trump anyway, if Biden sits on his hands, then the bad guys win even if everyone knows its illegal and the military is going to most likely follow the person the chief justice administrers the oath of office to and is sitting in the white house EVEN IF IT IS PATENTLY ILLEGAL. If the President goes along with it, AN UNENFORCED LAW DOES NOT EXIST.
Thats why electing a president who isnt tired and old matters. Thats why its a risk until Harris, who has fire and a spine, is able to take over for the dodderer in chief. The great Charlie Brown nap will allow the bad guys to march into the white house without a shot being fired if the President isnt willing to stand up for the law, which is why he should RESIGN, the day after the election.
