The Left wing attack on our traditional forms of constitutional democracy has had great success in abolishing cherished institutions like the secret ballot and same day voting. Emboldened by these wins, the Left has set its sights on eliminating judicial independence. Hate filled ethics attacks have been made on Justices Thomas and Alito. The Left is so mad about the overruling of Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), the abortion rights case, that they are now trying to force the Supreme Court's two most principled and brilliant members into resigning or recusing themselves from participating in important cases about the 2020 and 2024 elections, which they have a constitutional duty to help decide.
I wrote last winter on this blog that Justice Thomas's opinions show a steadfast devotion to the rule of law and are quite simply excellent on the merits. Not only is Justice Thomas incapable of being bribed, he is actually the best justice ever to serve on the Supreme Court in 234 years of American history. No one could read Justice Thomas's opinions and fail to be impressed by them. It is obvious on the face of things that Justice Thomas would never alter a word that he writes because of a gift from a friend.
The Left's attack on Justice Alito is based on an objection to the Justice's wife flying the U.S. flag upside down—a distress signal used by some but not by Justice Alito's wife—after the events of January 6, 2021. Justice Alito's wife raised the American flag in response to a dispute with a quarrelsome neighbor. A CNN poll on July 25, 2023 showed that nearly 70% of all Republicans think the 2020 presidential election was, in effect, stolen.
