№ 548: Courting Disaster (2020 FOREsight)



Trump's legacy: conservative judges who will dominate US law for decades

Republicans have confirmed 89 Trump-nominated judges, far in excess of appointments under Obama and Bush

That legacy comprises the 89 judges, and rapidly counting, that Trump has nominated, and Senate Republicans have confirmed, to serve at all levels of the federal court system. They are taking up posts from the district courts (53 Trump nominees confirmed out of 677 total) to the appellate courts (34 out of 179) to the US supreme court (two out of nine). Put together they form a kind of conservative judicial revolution that could impact all aspects of American life.

How can Dems pretend the country's recoverable?
How can they contend there's some grand scheme discoverable,
some closely-held, hidden, worst-case retorts
to undo what GOP's done to the courts?
Some magical thinking, which though convolutional,
Trump's trumped up Supremes could declare Constitutional?
Have Dems from what's happened become so detached
that they cannot see it's game, set and match,
that even with White House and Congress in hand
they'd no longer be in George Washington's land?

This is more than their usual idealist confusional.
The only conclusion: today's Dems are delusional.

Trump to Sign Spending Deal, Declare National Emergency

Democrats are expected to challenge any efforts to move money around without congressional approval


THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
Don't give me your 
sanity counterinsurgency.
I am not Lilliputian
bound by the “rules”
of some “Constitution”.

I don't need Congress.
I don't need courts.
I am the founder
of TRUMP RESORTS!
(And I have many
CRIMINAL COHORTS
more than willing
to do as I bid
soon as I say
who to get rid of.
So long Jim Acosta,
FAKE NEWS impostor.)

If Dems dare try
to replace me,
then they get Pence!!!
Hence, I am free
to rule by decree.

People, 
follow MY law
down to the letter.
That'll show Vlad
who dictates better.

No. XLVIX: Quo Vadis?

POTUS with SCOTUS
is out to demote U.S.
to the status of a failed state.
All but Trump doters
hope enough voters
wake up before it's too late.

Congress in session
is mostly digression
from problems at hand.
Congress in recess
is an abscess,
heads buried deep in the sand.


Three government branches...
What are the chances
one of 'em will not come through?
POTUS/SCOTUS? No way!
The Congress? Oy vay!
I am not optimistic. Are you?
