Can Americans Trust the Judicial System Anymore?

^5:8 Seek him who created the Seven Stars and the constellation Orion, who turns darkness into morning and day into night, who calls forth the water from the ocean and pours it out as rain upon the land. The Lord, Jehovah, is his name. ⁹ With blinding speed and violence he brings destruction on the strong, breaking all defenses. ¹⁰ How you hate honest judges! How you despise people who tell the truth!…¹⁴ Be good, flee evil—and live! Then the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will truly be your Helper, as you have claimed he is. ¹⁵ Hate evil and love the good; remodel your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Hosts will have mercy on his people who remain.
—Amos 5:8-10,14-15, The Living Bible—

Key points: By ignoring evidence of Democrat election fraud, the judicial system has been complicit in it. Democrats have sought to use and manipulate judges and the courts for many years, and they will continue to do so. Their efforts are corrupt and must be exposed.

On January 9, 2021, Christian leader, author, and radio talk show host Eric Metaxas tweeted,

FACT: It’s not that there is no evidence the election was stolen, but that no court had the guts to HEAR the evidence. They dismissed the cases, NOT the evidence. They refused to look at it, because the price of getting involved was too high. THIS is how evil destroys a republic.

We should not be surprised that Eric’s tweet was subjected to the “fact-checking” and censorship for which Twitter has become notorious. Yet Metaxas is absolutely correct in everything he has said. As stories of the legal battles waged by the Trump team in battleground states unfolded across the country, court after court, judge after judge, dismissed the cases on procedural grounds, effectively refusing to hear or consider any evidence. US Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky stated,  “The courts never looked at the facts. The courts don’t like elections, and they stayed out of it by finding an excuse.”

In an article on the judiciary’s response to election fraud published December 15, 2020 in The American Thinker, journalist Patricia McCarthy put a bright spotlight on the potential and actual election fraud that obviously had occurred in swing states in a variety of forms. These included

• • • leftist intimidation tactics such as those of Antifa and Black Lives Matter,
    • “secret consent decrees” in Georgia,
    • the abuse associated with mail-in ballots,
    • Dominion voting machine software with the ability to flip votes between candidates,
    • manufactured fake ballots numbering in the tens of thousands,
    • voting by illegal aliens,
    • drop boxes that were set up and operated illegally,
    • voter drives funded by Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook that targeted heavily Democratic districts,
    • the rejection of Republican observers during vote counting procedures, and
    • transportation of ballots across state lines, obviously to achieve Democrat victories in key states.

Then McCarthy wrote,

Every remotely sentient American by now knows that the Democrats cheated every conceivable way possible. Around 30% of Democrats reportedly do not believe the final result. Biden did little actual campaigning but knew that his win was in the bag thanks to the combined forces of Big Tech (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter), the mainstream media that are the propaganda arm of the DNC, and all those Soros-installed state secretaries of state, A.G.s, and election officials willing to do the left’s and Soros’s bidding for a price.

The nine justices on the Supreme Court surely know all this as well. They know it all but refused to take the case, just as all those state judges dismissed the cases before them. [SCOTUS announced its refusal to take up the case on Friday, December 11, 2020.] They are simply scared to do the job they swore to do: uphold the Constitution.

One has to wonder, how many of them have been threatened? Have they had their families threatened? So the bottom line is that none of them should ever have been seated on those courts in the first place — not Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, or Barrett, to say the least.  Not because Trump nominated them, but because when the going got tough, they folded like cheap tents — all of them except Thomas and Alito, forever true heroes for they are the real thing. How profoundly disappointing is it that Kavanaugh, whom so many fought so hard for, did not have the guts to stand up against the overwhelming Democrat vote fraud that took place? They are all scaredy-cats, like little children running from bullies.

It appears that the left’s strategy of “obey us or suffer the consequences” has worked. Leftists looted and burned numerous cites over the summer, vowing that law enforcement must be defunded or disbanded. Biden and Harris failed to condemn the rioting, and Harris staffers raised bail money for the rioters.  And now we are to believe they won!

Biden will never be considered the legitimate president by the eighty million (not the 74 the left claims) people who did vote for Trump. Biden has always been a greedy power-seeker, a liar, a plagiarist, a racist, a groper of women of all ages, and an all-around very nasty man. Ask anyone who knows him personally. And now we know that he and his family are nothing but grifters on a grand, global scale.

There is now way Joe Biden was fairly elected.

There is no way Joe Biden was fairly elected. The left planned on cheating; it just did not plan on having to make it so obvious.  Even Big Tech and the media, so deranged by Trump-hatred, failed to realize how much most Americans came to love and respect this president.

It isn’t just intimidation from outside the Supreme Court that has arisen as a problem or a potential problem, as bad as is inappropriate pressure from the outside. [Even Senator Schumer has threatened justices on the Court with regard to another matter.] There also has been talk of intimidation from within the Court (also go here).

While these reports are unconfirmed and the Court has denied them, the refusal of the Court to even consider the Texas case, I believe, leaves it suspect. No judge, save one that I know of, has had the courage to consider the evidence and admit that fraud occurred, and on a massive scale, at that.

How can the millions who voted for Trump look to the future with any hope that they can win any election in the future? The Democrats will cheat again, and they have every reason to believe that they will get away with it again. Will the judicial system hold them accountable for breaking the law? Are you kidding? It’s abundantly clear it will not.

Justices and judges, sworn to uphold the Constitution, therefore have become complicit in the fraud.

Intimidation of the Judiciary Is Standard Operating Procedure for the Left

We do well to realize that this is not the first time members of the legal and judicial system have been massively “coached” and intimidated by leftist Democrats. Rewind to the pre-Obergefell days, when state laws and constitutional amendments that had been legally passed because of the hard work of conscientious voters. These voters were abandoned by state attorneys general, due in no small way to the heavy-handed, coercive influence of US Attorney General Eric Holder, a member of the Obama-Biden Administration. We cited Holder’s lack of objectivity and his all out effort to ramrod same-sex marriage down the throats of Americans, against their will, in part 20 of a report called Justice Denied.

“Imagine for a moment that someone sues you,” began John Stonestreet in his BreakPoint radio commentary for February 25, 2014. BreakPoint is a ministry of Prison Fellowship and the Colson Center for Biblical Worldview. Stonestreet continued:

You arrive in court, expecting your lawyer to defend your interests, only to hear him say that he disagrees with you and will now assist your adversary.

There would be pandemonium. Your attorney would be relieved of his duties, and in all likelihood, face professional censure.

Yet, something akin to this happened to the people of Virginia last week. It’s part of a trend that should trouble people regardless of their position on certain “hot-button” issues.

On February 13, a federal district court judge in Norfolk struck down Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage. Judge Arrenda Wright Allen ruled that the voter-approved amendment to the Virginia constitution violated the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. Allen wrote that “Government interests in perpetuating traditions, shielding state matters from federal interference, and favoring one model of parenting over others must yield to this country’s cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love and family.”

Astounding.

Sadly, there’s nothing new in this easy dismissal of millennia of tradition. What is new is the role played by Virginia’s new Attorney General, Mark Herring. Instead of defending the law, which is what as the Commonwealth’s lawyer you expect him to do, he joined the plaintiffs in seeking to overturn it.

Herring, who was elected by a tiny margin of 907 votes, also believes the ban violates the 14th Amendment. His solicitor general, Stuart Raphael, compared the ban on same-sex marriage to Virginia’s infamous ban on interracial marriage back in the 1960s.

Herring isn’t the first state attorney general to decline to defend the voters’ wishes on this issue: attorneys general in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Nevada, and California have also taken what USA Today called “an unusually supportive role” in the movement to overturn democratically-enacted laws.

While declining to defend a state law is not unheard of, it is unusual. As Ed Whelan of the Ethics and Public Policy Center put it, this trend represents “a complete collapse of the line between law and politics . . . [T]he defense of these laws is not being litigated the way it ought to be, and defenders of marriage laws will have ample reason to believe the process is rigged against them.”

“Rigged” is not too strong a word. Once a lawyer agrees to represent a client, his ethical duty is to defend the client’s interests to the best of his or her abilities, even if he disagrees with the client.

This should go double or triple for state attorneys general. If you aren’t willing to defend the democratically-enacted laws of your state, you really shouldn’t run for the job.

When criminal convictions are overturned on account of inadequate legal representation, people agree that an injustice has been done. When the will of the people and millennia of tradition are overturned for much the same reason, it’s suddenly hailed as a victory for the “principles of equality upon which this nation was founded.”

This last phrase quoted by John Stonestreet was uttered by Ted Olson, lead co-counsel for the plaintiffs in the Virginia case and one of the lawyers who argued before the Supreme Court that California’s Proposition 8 [which affirmed man-woman marriage in California] should be overturned. Olson said, “Through its decision today, the court has upheld the principles of equality upon which this nation was founded.”

This is the convoluted logic that is apparently prevailing in the courts of America today. In a country where no individual is denied the right to legal counsel and the right to a fair trial, and in a country where free legal assistance for undocumented immigrants is not unheard of, shouldn’t voters be among the first have representation in court?

The position of leftist Democrats is that if voters disagree with them, they should not be represented in court. And this, my friends, has been their position for years! This is where we are in America today!

Manipulate the courts to push their own agendas? Yes, the Democrats will do this. They have done it, and they are doing it! And I haven’t even yet mentioned their stated intention to pack the Supreme Court with leftist justices!

Is It Hopeless? No!

Against the backdrop of widespread corruption in American life and in American institutions, we are prompted to ask, Is it hopeless? It is easy to despair, given the way things are stacked against true patriots, and given the amount of the corruption that exists.

Here I would encourage every believer and every true American patriot to do two things. First, pray that the truth would come out about corruption in American institutions, including

• • • the courts,
    • the media,
    • the political parties (both Democrat and Republican),
    • the Congress,
    • Hollywood,
    • Big Tech, and
    • education, to name just a few.

Second, while we can be grateful for the exposure of the corruption that already has occurred, what we have seen, I believe, is just the tip of the iceberg. Read and understand the statements that James O’Keefe of Project Veritas made here.

God hates dirty deals. He hates evil and corruption. We need to implore Him to expose them now, and we need to cooperate with Him in this worthy endeavor, as painful as it might be to see how bad things really are.

Sometimes the truth is painful, but make no mistake — it is liberating as well.
