Another for the “RUFKM?” bin

From a Fox News article, the below quote from Adam Schiff regarding his concern that the GOP will launch investigations into the Bidens instead of passing progressive legislation:

“It is just tearing down our democracy,” Schiff said. “I do expect, in the new Congress, that yes, they’ll continue to try to go after Joe Biden, delegitimize Joe Biden. They won’t be interested in getting things done.”

Uh… hello?!? The Democrat-led House pulls out all the stops – even a bogus, unwinnable impeachment – to disrupt a Trump administration, but Schiff claims that it’s the other side that is “…tearing down our democracy…”? Really??

Exactly my point…

Politicians and election officials DO NOT have the right to change election law just because they feel it’s necessary – even in the wake of a national emergency like COVID-19.

California judge rules Gov. Gavin Newsom overstepped authority with mail ballot order

What about all of the politicians and state election officials who arbitrarily decided that they could extend the dates for receiving mail-in ballots, skip signature verification procedures, or ignore postmark requirements in violation of state or local voting laws? What if all of those ballots are invalidated – how would the election turn out then?

Even if Trump cannot possibly win the election with his ongoing efforts, the legal challenges he is making are important. If we cannot stop these arbitrary election rule changes by partisan officials then we will never again have a free and fair election in America. These challenges are of particular importance in Georgia, as it will soon be the site of election runoffs to determine control of the Senate.

You go, girl!

Selective memory

Progressives furious over Supreme Court Justice Alito comments

Justice Alito, as quoted in the above article:

“For many today, religious liberty is not a cherished freedom. It’s often just an excuse for bigotry and can’t be tolerated, even when there is no evidence that anybody has been harmed,” Alito said during a virtual event with the Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention, a conservative legal network. “The question we face is whether our society will be inclusive enough to tolerate people with unpopular religious beliefs.”

My take on this statement is that Alito is warning of potential threats to our 1st amendment rights. However, Elizabeth Warren offers another viewpoint. From the same article:

“Supreme Court Justices aren’t supposed to be political hacks,” Warren said.

I wonder why Warren didn’t speak up when Justice Ginsburg attacked Donald Trump:

“He is a faker,” she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. “He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego…”

I guess discussing threats to the Constitution makes one a political hack, but insulting a politician makes one a legal icon. Go figure.

Who drank all the kool-aid?

Warren has either :
1) gone nuts
2) overdosed on the progressive, LSD-laced AOC-brand progressive koolaid
3) lost her meds

Warren credits Biden win to ‘most progressive economic’ platform ever

Does ANYONE actually believe Biden & Harris will win because of their progressive platform? Let’s face facts –  a win would be for no other reason than that Trump is an asshole. And it won’t exactly be a landslide, either – even with all of the vote-harvesting shenanigans. But suggesting that a win would be a validation of their far-left agenda?

In the words of Bill the Cat: Thppft!

I’m sorry, but…

…if the voting laws say that a mail-in ballot shall contain a date, then it must have a date to be valid and counted. The local, unbalanced, partisan (2 democrats 1 republican) board of elections should not be allowed to ignore or circumvent the law by simple agreement. The law is the law – not the opinion of two democratic party officials.

Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County to count more than 2,000 undated ballots that arrived on time

I’ve been saying this all along…

You just can’t change election law willy-nilly.

Some of the changes made to election law in a few states seem to have been in violation of other laws, alleges this report from the right-leaning Townhall.com web site:

Election Changes in Wisconsin Call Into Question Tens of Thousands of Votes

The recounts could get interesting if some ballots are invalidated.

The Village Idiot

Every village has one. Chicago has a doozy.

According to this recent Fox News story, Rahm Emanuel was questioned by George Stephanopolous during an ABC discussion panel. When asked what Biden could do to solve the COVID-19 crisis, Emanuel allegedly said:

“You want to solve a problem? Cash,” Emmanuel continued. “People like cash. Get it to people, get it to local governments.”

Yeah, let’s bail out all those poorly-managed Democratic strongholds under the guise COVID-19 assistance. The big question, though: Whose cash do we give them?
