.... and we Doubt the LAW

 We doubt ourselves, 

we doubt our beliefs. 

We doubt our institutions. 

And we doubt the law.... 

From Frank Galvins summation in the movie The Verdict


What is the underlying theme to the 91 Felony indictments (this across several Jurisdictions and counts of trying to overturn the elecion, the Classified documents, the Hush Money payments he made to a Porn Star)   ,, and the Civil liability of the former POTUS that has he has been found liable for  once on Sexual assault and twice on the defamatory statements he made against her, a Civil trial on Fraud charges that he has just been ordered to pay $355 Million dollars and not able to hold a position in company in NY, and not do business in NY for 3 years, and his sons - Eric and (cocaine) Don Jr have to pay $4 million each for their part in the Fraud case..      

Now - balance that with the polling that in Iowa the site of a recent primary and Caucus , and other polls across the nation that  nearing  50% Do not care that he is libel for Sexual assault,  and that they would still vote for him even of he was convicted of a Felony .  In my mind it is a report card on the doubt that people have in our Justice System.  You hear things from politicians about a "Trump" Judge or an  "Obama" judge - that by saying that believe that that judge would rule for or against something simply because that Judge was appointed to their seat by that politician - no Matter the LAW.  We have what many - my self included - say is a corrupt Supreme court - we have Justices (Thomas and Alito)  that took gifts in the form of Extravagant vacations , and trips, and the supporter buying their home that they could not sell, and then that person or persons company having business before the court and they refuse to recuse themselves - and Congress fails to hold them accountable. .  We have justices voting along party lines in many cases,,, we have justices that Lied to Congress about important issues like abortion and a women's right to choose saying it was the Law of the land for decades and there was no reason to think that they would even take up the case, and then voting to overturn Rowe .v Wade the 1st chance they got.   We have a Judge Aileen Cannon that has been overturned on her ruling by an appellate court - as she ruled in Trumps favor time and time again.

We live in a dangerous time. 

I won't live to see it play out ,,,, but history will look back and see that it was this doubt of the LAW  that destroyed the country , that ended Democracy,  That then  re-wrote the Constitution. That watched Christian Nationalists take over, that watched as small majority of literarily stupid politicians take over the Government (we see the glimpse of that now)  - IF the country reelects Trump - the downfall of the Country will begin quickly - it will start and even those of this own party that lean politically toward the center will not be able to stop it .      It can begin as soon as 336 days from today  January 20th 2025. 

You can vote for a Democrat to be reelected, and then debate the issues over the next 4 years or  IF you vote from Trump - you never have to worry about voting again.
