When a Republic fails it rarely happens over night. Most often is is a slow disintegration brought on by the creeping tentacles of corruption.
When the founders created the foundation for the United States they knew that it was not perfect and that there were flaws. Thomas Jefferson himself recognized that it would be important to have the ability to amend the Constitution so that it did not become stagnant and conformed to the ties. The founders knew that the great weakness of our Constitution was its failure to account for the clay feet of men. Sooner or later we would be forced to face the scourge of a scoundrel prepared to take advantage of the Constitutions weakness.
We have arrived at that moment. The January 6th commission requested that Trumps communications from that day be made available to the commission. Trump argued that he maintained executive privilege as the former president. President Joseph Biden declined to support Trumps contention of Executive Privilege. Trump goes to the Federal Court and is rejected in a 3-0 holding. The court gave Trump and his counsel 14 days to file appeal with the US Supreme Court.
In normal circumstances this would be the end of Trumps saga. There is no basis for appeal. Trumps counsel is not arguing case law or precedent. They are simply saying that Trump should be able to exert Executive Privilege. Not in the interest of national security or anything like that but simply that he didn’t get the ruling he was shopping for in the lower court. This should be a mute issue. The court could dismiss this matter by simply following the procedure of not granting certiorari.
We have a Supreme Court that has become highly politicized. Trump knows that his bacon is in the fire. He is hoping a praying that a Supreme Court that is highly partisan will pull him out of the fire. The truth is unless there is something incriminating in those papers there is absolutely no reason to shield them. If the Supreme Court agrees to calendar Trumps appeal it is purely a stalling task tic. The goal is to delay so that the mission and search for truth of the january 6th commission is thwarted. If the court does this that’s the ball game. All of the safety nets are gone. The last finger plugging the dam is gone. The democratic republic is dead.
