What's It Take To Be Indicted?

While we're talking about equal justice, let's not forget the Durham investigation of the 4 Carter Page FISA warrant applications.  Carter Page was a CIA asset, but the FBI took over a year to determine that, and then Clinesmith lied about it in the final FISA warrant application.  All of the people who signed off on the applications said they had exercised due diligence and believed that Carter Page was likely a Russian spy.  They all committed perjury at the very least.  None have been indicted.  Durham's investigation has vanished without a trace.

It would seem that Republicans, like Flynn, can be indicted and prosecuted for nothing, and Democrats, like Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Stzrok and Lisa Page, can't be indicted for anything.  It would seem that Durham is too scared of the Swamp to do his job, now that Biden is back in town.  So much for the rule of law in the US. 

Some would argue that Flynn deserved to be indicted because he appeared on Russian TV, criticising Obama.  But was Flynn indicted for appearing on Russian TV?  Nope.  Flynn was indicted for lying to the FBI, something he didn't do.  It was entrapment.  The Russian TV history is immaterial to the legal case.  It just explains Obama's motive for framing Flynn for something Flynn didn't do.  Perhaps we need a new Bastille, so presidents who are leftists in good standing can send people who offend them to prison with a secret letter?

Supreme Court Ruling Stopped Elections From Having Consequences

 It's discouraging that once a Supreme Court rewrites a law for Congress, it's permanent.

Obamacare passed the Senate with a simple majority as a reconcilement bill, claiming it would save, rather than spend money.   After a Republican won a Massachusetts special election by campaigning against Obamacare, Democrats no longer had the votes to break a filibuster.

Roberts bent over backwards to make the penalties into taxes to make the bill Constitutional.  He did that because in 2012 it was clear that sending it back to Congress for a rewrite would mean the bill would be defeated.  Roberts' ruling prevented Congressional elections from having any consequences, and removed the consent of the governed from the bill.

Now Obamacare is the status quo, and it takes 60 Senate votes to get rid of it.  The suit asks the Supreme Court to do the right thing and send the bill back to Congress for a rewrite.  The WSJ EB says they won't, but the ruling will show the need for more originalist judges.

Historical Fact: Gerrymandering Invented by Democrats

 Elbridge Gerry (1744-1814) was a Democrat.  Gerrymandering was first used in Massachussets in 1812 by the Democratic-Republican Governor, Elbridge Gerry to keep the State Senate in his party's control even though Gerry himself lost the 1812 election for governor.  The Democratic-Republican party became the Democratic party.

Obviously, after the Democrats showed how effective gerrymandering is, Republicans began using the tactic too.

Since both sides have used gerrymandering for a very long time, it's unlikely that the system will change.

Democrats Keep the US Safe for Vote Fraud

 The Democrats are very keen to keep America safe for vote fraud of various kinds.  Democrats oppose voter ID requirements because they make voting early and often, Chicago style, harder.  Democrats support longer vote counting periods because it gives them more time to "find" uncounted ballots in car trunks, Minnesota style.  Democrat judges decide all cases based on what they would like the law to say, rather than what the law says, Pennsylvania style.  And people wonder why Republicans expect Democrats to cheat.  History!

Every voter in Chicago deserves to vote, dead or alive.  Clean voter rolls and voter ID requirements are voter suppression plots by Republicans who have trouble selling their programs to the dead.  Polls showing Hillary winning by 5 points should have made voting unnecessary.  Democrats can win with a stuffed animal running for president!  /sarcasm
