Medicynical Note: Meanwhile in the U.S. our former President and current, oh so very devout, Speaker of the House continue to refuse to say that he lost the last election. This, despite the fact that he lost by several million votes; despite the fact that he also convincingly lost the electoral count; despite the fact that his attempted coup d’etat failed; and despite that fact that he lost over 60 cases in various courts contesting the election.
And that former president despite the fact that a Colorado Court recently ruled that he led an insurrection against the government of the United States is not in jail and is running again for the presidency.
What is more Banana Republic/Third World than that! (Apologies to all Third World nations)
Wikipedia notes that in the United States “Equality before the law, also known as equality under the law, equality in the eyes of the law, legal equality, or legal egalitarianism, is the principle that all people must be equally protected by the law.[1] The principle requires a systematic rule of law that observes due process to provide equal justice, and requires equal protection ensuring that no individual nor group of individuals be privileged over others by the law.”
The ruling from Judge “rejects a bid by a group of Colorado voters to disqualify Trump under a rarely used amendment to the U.S. Constitution that bars officials who have engaged in “insurrection” from holding federal office.”
“The judge found that, as president, Trump was not “an officer of the United States” that could be disqualified under the amendment.”
Medicynical Noter: This ruling is certain to be appealed but remember Trump is the guy who once said in 2016 “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
On January 6th 2021 he stood in the middle of the Capital Mall and actually did his best to shoot his Vice President (verbally at least) and skewer the constitution. So far he’s getting away with it thanks to a politicized legal system which is paralyzed by money, infinite motions, and biased compromised judges even at the highest level.
One would think that no one is above the law. Maybe, but apparently not now in the United States. Kind of pathetic.
