It’s a relief to see Congressman Joe Morelle taking action to reverse the U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity decision. The fact that someone in our government is paying attention and addressing this crucial issue gives me a glimmer of hope. Potential amendment texts need to be thoroughly vetted and discussed so that we can find a viable solution to this pressing problem. Leaving the SCOTUS decision unchallenged is simply not an option for the long-term health of our democracy.
The idea of a president using immunity to commit and conceal crimes is deeply troubling. While most U.S. presidents have been honorable individuals, they have all been ambitious.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the state of our democracy, the news that a New York Democrat will introduce an amendment to reverse a Supreme Court immunity ruling fills me with a glimmer of hope. The Supreme Court’s power to interpret statutes can be challenged and changed through legislative action, and this move is a step in the right direction. It is up to us, the voters, to elect a Congress that will prioritize passing this crucial amendment.
The idea of Amendment 28, which proposes that no member of the Legislative, Executive, or Judicial branches of government should be exempt from abiding by the law, resonates deeply with me.… Continue reading
As I sit back and observe the latest news in the political world, I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity of some individuals. The recent call from a top Republican to cancel future State of the Union speeches by President Biden is not only shocking but also deeply concerning. Article 2, section 3, clause 1 of the Constitution clearly mandates the president to deliver a State of the Union address, but it seems like some individuals are willing to disregard this foundational document when it doesn’t align with their agenda.
The idea of canceling a tradition that has been upheld for over a century simply because it doesn’t suit a certain party’s interests is not only shortsighted but also dangerous.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court’s reluctance to disqualify Donald Trump from running for president has sparked controversy and disappointment among many Americans. It raises questions about the court’s commitment to upholding the Constitution and fulfilling its duty to make difficult decisions.
One of the main arguments made by those in favor of disqualifying Trump is that his actions on January 6th, when he incited a mob to attack the Capitol, constitute treason under the Constitution. Treason, as defined in the Constitution, includes “levying war” against the United States, which many argue Trump did by inciting the insurrection. However, the Supreme Court seems hesitant to interpret the Constitution in this way and hold Trump accountable for his actions.… Continue reading
The Only Way Trump Stays on the Ballot Is if the Supreme Court Rejects the Constitution
As an engaged citizen who believes in the fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law, I find it deeply disheartening to consider that the only way Donald Trump could stay on the ballot is if the Supreme Court rejects the Constitution. It seems unimaginable that the highest court in our land, entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s founding principles, would even entertain such a notion. However, recent developments and the tone of the court’s proceedings have left me with little hope that they will uphold the integrity of our Constitution.… Continue reading
Joe Biden Can—and Should—Take Over the Texas National Guard
As an American citizen deeply concerned with the state of our nation, I believe it is time for President Joe Biden to take decisive action in response to Governor Greg Abbott’s flagrant disregard for the Constitution. If Abbott is going to use his National Guard to go against the established legal framework, then President Biden should follow in the footsteps of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and nationalize the state agency entirely.
Abbott’s recent actions in deploying the Texas National Guard to the border are not only unconstitutional but also undermine the rule of law.… Continue reading
