MTG DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE

by BB Curtis

Government shutdowns, according to Marjorie Taylor Greene: ” . . . the people affected are federal government employees, but the American people don’t miss a beat in their jobs. That’s the reality.” She is wrong! There are always ripple effects. To read further click here.

It is beyond me how experts can completely miss something so simple as a single sentence in an Article of the Constitution when the subject matter is directly related to the Constitution. Justice Alito has claimed that there is nothing in the Constitution that says that Congress can regulate the Supreme Court. Several of the experts and Congresspeople stated more than a few times in a hearing concerning this topic that Congress doesn’t have the power to regulate the Supreme Court. I’d like to throw aside all the bullshit from this over three-hour hearing (Senate Judiciary Committee holds hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform | full video) and simply quote Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States. 

• Clause 2 Supreme Court Jurisdiction
• In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. [Bold added by author]

From <https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-3/section-2/>

You don’t have to take my word for any of this.  Go to 1:03:20 of Senate Judiciary Committee holds hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform | full video and listen to the expert testimony of Professor Amanda Frost, Professor of Law at the University of Virginia who specializes in constitutional law, judicial ethics, and the federal court system. She starts her opening address to let us all know that she is there to “focus on Congress’ constitutional authority to regulate the ethical obligations of Supreme Court Justices.”  She enters into the record that Congress does have the power, as is stated in the Constitution, to make regulations concerning the Supreme Court.  Listen for yourself as to what this expert and instructor in the law has to say.  I will not paraphrase or quote her further. Videos help drive home the point in case I might try to tell you something she didn’t say as is now so normal in politics and through much of mass media. 

This is a perfect time to hear her statement.

In short she states that Congress has the responsibility to regulate the Supreme Court on ethics.  This hearing took place on May 1, 2023.  According to real expert testimony, Congress can legislate and create a code of conduct for the Supreme Court, making it necessary that the Justices comply. 

If you have seen anything indicating that a bill or bills are in progress toward this end, please let me know at bobbi.astartehome@outlook.com or leave a comment below.  I haven’t seen a thing making it appear that the rounds of trash talk didn’t overpower the facts AGAIN. Being that the testimony came from a woman, I also wonder if that didn’t also have something to do with letting this drop.  I look forward to feedback concerning moving forward with a SCOTUS Code of Conduct.

Thank you!

A young woman was pulled over by the police, physically removed from her car, handcuffed and made to sit on the road while the police searched her car without a search warrant. They told her that she had a warrant out for her arrest in a criminal proceeding (no details, like the crime for which she’s being arrested and no Miranda Rights recited to her). She was hauled off to jail. She paid her bail and was left to find her own way to wherever. Her car along with her purse, wallet, ID, money, credit cards, cellphone, keys and everything else she had in her car which included suitcases of clothes and personal care items (she traveled for work) were impounded. She walked to a friend’s house a few miles away, a friend to whom she’d given a key to her house. She had a court date within the next 10 days and had to find a way to court or get another warrant. There was no private plane and motorcade. There were no funds coming from donors. She was left with nothing and had to figure it out as she was still finding ways to get to work but waiting for her next paycheck.

That’s how someone who is just a regular person is treated by the police and the courts. I have the hardest time not exploding over the red carpet treatment DJT gets for committing crimes for decades and finally getting caught for a few. BTW, the incident with the young woman took place in May of 2022. All her possessions are still in impound although they were illegally confiscated by the police. She still has no formal charges except that she might be an accomplice in “a crime”. That’s how the law that she is supposed to have broken is worded – “a crime”. Fair and equal justice under the law? Absolutely not!

First you’ll want to read this article about Donald Trump’s recently hired attorney and enjoy a few of the comments about Trump that are attributed to him. They are not complimentary by any stretch.

Once you’ve digested that, I have one thing to say. Someone in the DOJ needs to do a critical review because, careful now!  Looks like DJT is creating his mistrial.
