The left and its scare tactics arenât fooling the Supreme Court
For all the squawking from Democrats that Donald Trump is a âthreat to democracy,â their relentless attacks on the Supreme Court are the gravest threat to the republic.
For all the squawking from Democrats that Donald Trump is a âthreat to democracy,â their relentless attacks on the Supreme Court are the gravest threat to the republic.
This weekâs target is Justice Samuel Alito, whose crime is having a wife who is âfond of flying flags,â as he put it in a droll letter Wednesday to Biden allies in the Senate who are demanding he recuse himself from two Trump special counsel cases.
As President Biden languishes in the polls, and the New York hush money trial has done nothing to dent Trumpâs electoral appeal, Dems are trying ever more dastardly ploys to sabotage the Republicanâs campaign.
Manufacturing a scandal out of flags flown by Alitoâs wife, Martha-Ann, outside their home is their pathetic attempt to force the Supreme Court to deliver a favorable outcome in the lawfare cases they are counting on to give Biden an unfair advantage in November.
They are desperate to tilt the court in their favor by cutting down Alito and fellow formidable conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, whose wife is also being used to damage him.
Turns out the Alitos have some very unpleasant neighbors.
The 35-year-old BLM activist daughter of a retired PBS executive who lives down the road decided to move into her motherâs house with her boyfriend and their âpandemic puppyâ in 2020 and then proceeded to torment the Alitos.
Her campaign of harassment included picketing their house with signs saying, âAbort SCOTUS,â âFascist Alitoâ and âAlito was @ Jan 6,â plastering her motherâs front yard (near a school) with political signs like âFâK Trump,â âTrump Is a Fascistâ and âYou Are Complicit.â One day the daughter, or her boyfriend, called Mrs. Alito a âcât.â
Martha-Ann Alito was understandably distressed about the harassment campaign.
So what dastardly deed did she commit in response?
She hoisted an upside-down flag outside their home, a traditional symbol of distress that Biden allies now claim is nothing but a symbol of the âStop the Stealâ campaign.
The intrepid New York Times also delivered the incredible scoop that Mrs. Alito hoisted the perfectly uncontroversial âAn Appeal to Heavenâ flag outside their vacation home in New Jersey.
The historical pine tree flag originally was flown from George Washingtonâs ships during the Revolutionary War, but the Times and its Democratic handlers have recast it as a dangerous âinsurrectionist symbol,â having found that it was sighted in the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The internet has been hastily rewritten to portray the flag as malign, and liberal venues such as San Francisco City Hall, which had happily flown the flag in its Civic Center Plaza since 1964, quietly removed it over the weekend, all the better to tar the Alitos with the insurrectionist brush.
Itâs exactly this kind of frenzied propaganda that resulted in an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanagh after the Dobbs decision was leaked and nonstop illegal picketing outside the homes of the conservative justices.
Democrats have no compunction about flirting with assassination incitement when it comes to Trump. The latest culprit is pulp fiction writer John Grisham, who appeared on ABCâs âThe Viewâ this week to fantasize about killing judges.
âI wrote a great book called âThe Pelican Briefâ in which two Supreme Court justices were assassinated,â he said, âand I thought about doing it again.
In contrast to Alitoâs concise wit, the House Democratsâ unscrupulous hit man Jamie Raskin wrote a pompous op-ed maligning Alito and Thomas for the New York Times on Wednesday, whining that âthe highest court in the land has the lowest ethical standards.â
Raskin wants Attorney General Merrick Garland to spark a constitutional crisis by inserting himself into the Democratsâ recusal campaign.
He also thinks itâs a great idea to get the Biden-nominated US attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, to âpetition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves.â
Graves is a registered Democrat, a Democratic donor who worked for the Biden 2020 presidential campaign as a volunteer and was handpicked by Biden to lead his pet project, the cavalcade of prosecutions against Trump supporters charged over Jan. 6.
One of his first acts on coming to office was to refuse his Delaware counterpart David Weissâ request to charge Hunter Biden on tax fraud offenses in his district.
So much for Raskinâs ethical standards.
Comment:
There was no insurrection.
It was a protest against the Corrupt Banana Republic Democrat Party's voting rights violations in the 2020 election.
Far Left Extremist Jamie Raskin's attacks on Alito and Thomas are baseless and an attempt undermine the separation of powers.
Raskin is a despicable demagogue who has no respect for our constitutional form of government.
