THE THESIS: This is progressive originalism and, yes, that is oxymoronic. Justice Jackson is making the case that racism as government policy is okay because the old, white men who wrote our founding documents were, in her mind, racist. What she really intends to do is to push the Cultural Revolution from the bench as anyone who read even a little bit about her views as a judge knew she would do on SCOTUS.
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
The days of punishment are coming,
the days of reckoning are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,
the inspired person a maniac.
“When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
Then they will say, “We have no king
because we did not revere the Lord.
But even if we had a king,
what could he do for us?”
4 They make many promises,
take false oaths
and make agreements;
therefore lawsuits spring up
like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.
THE NEWS & COMMENT:
The woman who is on the court because she is black and female--though she famously has no idea what the word “woman” means--is doing exactly what we knew she would do: attempting to legislate racism unto the law, making all black people victims and all white people oppressors. She is nothing more than a communist who intends to legislate America into splintered pieces.
Jackson wants to control who gets what and she uses racism as her cover. The Revolutionary Communist Party’s Podcast celebrates using the cover of the weather--Climate Catastrophe, don’t-cha-know--to control everything.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Her comrades in the Communist Party, USA are really excited about the new control governments are seizing:
Raymond Lotta was or is a leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (“USA”) and the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.
Almost ten years ago, I began pointing out that America has been pushed into a cold, civil war. I guess I should feel better with people like Victor David Hanson in agreement with me:
Victor Davis Hanson: The Thinnest Veneer Of Civilization Remains
The veneer of respectability and civility has no place in the separate Country of California where the government intends to control what every doctor says and/or prescribes using Covid as the cover:
In the heart of every tyrant there is the poison combination of fear, arrogance and ignorance. They fear because they don’t know The Lord, they are arrogant because they believe themselves to be god-like and they remain ignorant because they believe there is nothing they do not know.
As in war, the first casualty in disasters is often the truth. One symptom of elite panic is the belief that too much information, or the wrong kind of information, will send citizens reeling. After the 2011 tsunami knocked out Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, officials gave a series of confusing briefings. To many, they seemed to be downplaying the amount of radiation released in the accident. In the end, the radiation risks turned out to be much lower than feared, resulting in no civilian deaths. But, by then, the traumatized public had lost faith in any official statements. As one team of researchers notes, any “perceived lack of information provision increases public anxiety and distrust.”
Elite panic frequently brings out another unsavory quirk on the part of some authorities: a tendency to believe the worst about their own citizens. In the midst of the Hurricane Katrina crisis in 2005, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin found time to go on Oprah Winfrey’s show and lament “hooligans killing people, raping people” in the Superdome. Public officials and the media credulously repeated rumors about street violence, snipers shooting at helicopters, and hundreds of bodies piled in the Superdome. These all turned out to be wild exaggerations or falsehoods (arguably tinged by racism). But the stories had an impact: Away from the media’s cameras, a massive rescue effort—made up of freelance volunteers, Coast Guard helicopters, and other first responders—was underway across the city. But city officials, fearing attacks on the rescuers, frequently delayed these operations. They ordered that precious space in boats and helicopters be reserved for armed escorts.
Too often, the need to “avoid panic” serves as a retroactive justification for all manner of official missteps. In late March, as the coronavirus pandemic was climbing toward its crest in New York City, Mayor Bill De Blasio appeared on CNN’s State of the Union to defend his record. Host Jake Tapper pressed the mayor on his many statements—as recently as two weeks earlier—urging New Yorkers to “go about their lives.” Tapper asked whether those statements were “at least in part to blame for how the virus has spread across the city.” De Blasio didn’t give an inch. “Everybody was working with the information we had,” he explained, “and trying, of course, to avoid panic.” How advising people to avoid bars and Broadway shows would have been tantamount to panic was left unexplained.
