Who are you referring to? Sounds like a Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner episode? Or am I missing the sarcasm?Quote:

Shades of 1984. The Christians and lions, Rome. Mean anything???? Holy guano, Wake the f... up! Priorities people, priorities
Rant done.
The real issue IF hillary wins is. The next court appointments will be sitting for 20+ years. Look at the damage or failure to agree on some rulings since Obama appointed his picks. Hillary wins, say good fucking by to the documents that made this country.
I'm curious why people don't believe this country is already no longer in existence as the Republic, but rather a corpse mimicking the one so palpably former?
Checks and balances and rule of law are gone. Obamacare serves as a good example for that argument... instead of ruling on the law as presented, Roberts rewrote the argument for the putative government. The Secretary of State, so called, violated federal law with an illegal email server discussing and storing classified information. The Constitution is no better than Charmin ultra-soft at this point. It's a good idea of yesteryear. A putsch regime rules in place of a valid government.
But even supposed conservatives are worthless on the SCOTUS... look at the schizophrenia of Kennedy's opinion on Planned Parenthood vs Casey:
"At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. Beliefs about these matters could not define the attributes of personhood were they formed under compulsion of the State."
That is absolute bullshit. The heart of liberty is in fact the exact opposite, as liberty is the ability to do what is right. Freedom is inability to be coerced into doing the wrong thing. One can very much be shackled and immobile but still be free morally -- in fact, that very freedom and its exercise might even lead to their condition of having no physical movement. What Kennedy describes is a schizophrenic concept of license, and a very dangerous one at that. Kennedy's phrasing is akin to saying "there is no truth", which if true is a true statement in itself, thus nullifying its very utterance. And that's one of the conservatives on SCOTUS. Dear God, help us.
When Roberts rewrote Obamacare, instead of interpreting it (which would have found it in violation of the law), he destroyed checks and balances. I'm sure other instances have occurred of which I'm unaware. When Hillary was not immediately arrested, indicted, and facing prosecution because the head of the FBI determined she had no intent (which is not within the wording of the law), rule of law was shown to be null and void. Many people, every day, have no "intent" to do this or that thing as consequential, and they are absolutely hamstrung by the same folks who let that nefarious bitch walk free.
There are many micro examples of the rule of law, checks and balances, and general ontological evidence that the US is no longer the US as we knew it.
However, we can stem the tide of this crap IF Trump were not to be a plant, and IF Trump were to actually appoint some hardcore conservatives to SCOTUS. Heck, we might even see something as glorious and grand as an overturning of the ridiculousness of case-law precedent, back into the more realistic, truthful tendency of method toward actual scholastic understandings of natural law, personhood, etc. What we need is a couple of hardcore Aristotelian judges who understand metaphysics and epistemological argument which has concrete foundations, not the humanistic, relativistic, case law precendents of slippery slopes crap as now.
At this point, I no more follow, respect, or uphold the dignity of the oligarchy any more than I would recognize a mafia as legitimate, having usurped a local town's official governance. Indeed, I obey so far as I am morally able, but not for the fact that they are themselves legitimate. Rather, there are still consequences to disobeying even illegitimate rule. The difference is that now the consequence is unjust punishment (for they have no authority to punish), but punishment nonetheless. Whereas in disobeying a legitimate ruler, one has two punishments: moral and physical, for God sets up the ruler.
My thought on this is taken from Leo XIII's Diuturnum: On the Origin of Civil Power", specifically #15 and #16:
Quote:
15. The one only reason which men have for not obeying is when anything is demanded of them which is openly repugnant to the natural or the divine law, for it is equally unlawful to command to do anything in which the law of nature or the will of God is violated. If, therefore, it should happen to any one to be compelled to prefer one or the other, viz., to disregard either the commands of God or those of rulers, he must obey Jesus Christ, who commands us to "give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's,"[18] and must reply courageously after the example of the Apostles: "We ought to obey God rather than men."[19] And yet there is no reason why those who so behave themselves should be accused of refusing obedience; for, if the will of rulers is opposed to the will and the laws of God, they themselves exceed the bounds of their own power and pervert justice; nor can their authority then be valid, which, when there is no justice, is null.
16. But in order that justice may be retained in government it is of the highest importance that those who rule States should understand that political power was not created for the advantage of any private individual; and that the administration of the State must be carried on to the profit of those who have been committed to their care, not to the profit of those to whom it has been committed. Let princes take example from the Most High God, by whom authority is given to them; and, placing before themselves His model in governing the State, let them rule over the people with equity and faithfulness, and let them add to that severity, which is necessary, a paternal charity. On this account they are warned in the oracles of the sacred Scriptures, that they will have themselves some day to render an account to the King of kings and Lord of lords; if they shall fail in their duty, that it will not be possible for them in any way to escape the severity of God: "The Most High will examine your work and search out your thoughts: because being ministers of his kingdom you have not judged rightly. . . Horribly and speedily will he appear to you, for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. . . For God will not accept any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness; for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all. But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty.[20]
