OCEANSIDE, Calif. | Apparently to a majority of the “GoneOldParty,’” it is obviously more important that Justice Clarence Thomas and five others of the Supreme Court majority vote ideologically rather than ethically. A couple of them even lied to the Senate Judiciary Committees about how they would vote. Also, Justices Thomas and Alito refuse to recuse themselves in cases where they should have no input much less vote. Justice? Where? Show me.

This being said, hold on, because as long as Justices Thomas and Alito are there, there’s every indication that court outcomes will simply get worse. Example: We are all aware that one spouse worked unconstitutionally and helped plan the January 6 insurrection. This lack of responsibility should lead us to remember and be aware. As Sinclair Lewis made clear in his book It Can’t Happen Here, in reality, it can happen here, right in front of our eyes. Jack Bernard advised us recently, “despite all of his ethical problems, over two thirds of GOP voters still support him” (Justice Thomas). I have a hard time using the word Justice with these people.
In case you were not aware, there is a movement amongst some members of splinter groups inside and outside of Congress and some statehouses to corral “certain immigrants, and some “others” and put them in “Camps,” claiming it is to keep them safe (and segregated) until they are “Processed.” Sound familiar?
Are those yahoos also training a new crop of Dr. Mengele’s? Some colleges and universities are active today in pursuing graduating “Believers” and training them on “religious” governing leaving our factual history and reality. It is getting crazy in the educational world. It in many cases is my or the highway. The Article Fivers want to change the Bill of Rights. Smoke that over for a while.
Remember that the Nazis claimed belief in the Christian faith. It must be a sub-set of that body, because growing up in a Protestant faith, we were taught a very different message.
If there is a subset of faith operatives, and there was and most likely is again, one wonders why they assassinated Bonhoeffer, the respected Christian minister and teacher just before Germany surrendered? He was one of several we cannot forget. There were over five million people of the Jewish faith slaughtered by those warped Nazis. Makes one wonder with trepidation how many of the Neo-Nazi and Neo-Fascists are in the USA currently.
There are no adjectives or adverbs adequate to describe such thinking and practice. The new Speaker claims all U.S. Laws should be Bible-based. If many members of our governing bodies were to be held accountable to the Ten Commandments, there might be vacancies in Congress and on the courts, as some are seeking election in 2024.
Dinosaurs are not extinct. Remember that they only now take new forms.
