Why America Needs Biden v. Trump, II.
The whole "insurrection" thing was people questioned whether Joe Biden really won fairly in 2020. The nation accepted that he did, the torch was passed on Inauguration Day, and Joe Biden has been our president -- for better or worse -- since then.
This wasn't about revolution, about overthrowing the government or committing "insurrection." The courts refused to take the case, and the lower courts never really got into the merits -- the details that would have come out at a trial, about all the alleged voting irregularities in the contested states during an unprecedented national emergency -- the Covid pandemic that necessitated mail-in voting, drop-off ballots and the close calls about whether both sides were obeying elections laws and proceeding fairly.
Now, four years later, what better to determine who should be our president than a rematch? A closely watched, fairly contested presidential election? Surely we can pull that off in November, without the panic of the pandemic times to upset the rules of order as they did in 2020?
Robbing voters of the choice to chose between the two men makes it seem like Joe Biden cannot win in a head-to-head match with Donald Trump, and maybe he didn't back in 2020 but was the hand-picked candidate of the back-room Dems in SC, after they convinced the rest of the primary field to drop out and throw the race to slow old Joe, who was performing so poorly in the primaries up until that point.
I don't trust John Roberts myself.
He's busying himself, it seems, worrying about the potential impact of AI on the legal profession, he wrote in his end-of-the-year Court summary, and you wonder if he has a clue what is going on in the nation. At least SCOTUS agreed to take the Colorado case and rule... the hearing is in early February, and you hope the Court can pump out a timely opinion, putting in the OT work if necessary, because the primary/caucus system begins nationally next week.
The Court, in my opinion, should have found a case to take from the lower courts and heard Trump's complaints about the 2020 irregularities, not simply refused. If Americans learn to settle their differences in a court of law -- the highest in the land if you can get in there -- they won't be protesting at the Capitol, or using legislative maneuvers to push their honest beliefs that their candidate got robbed in 2020.
Why would our elites try to run that game again in 2024?
A rematch is what is needed. No tricks. Closely watched this time. Let's see who wins in a fair match this go around, and let's agree -- all of us -- to abide by the decision of the voters.
The elites should not be choosing our president, and God help us if the neocons succeed in getting Trump off the ballot in enough states that the establishment R's remaining are successful in getting neocon Nikki installed as U.S. president when there is so much chaos already in today's world.
Play fair. That's what America is all about, Charlie Brown. If not in reality these days, in our nations' core creed. The elite are rich, but elderly, and their days are passing... let's show the future we still believe in fairplay in America, even if we are failing right now to live up to that standard with the crew we've got in politics today.
