Violence and Social Strife-D-M

30 Aug

Democrats say they want to reduce mass incarceration. One way they are trying to do it is by reducing penalties for crimes. They have been dropping some minor crimes and no longer consider them crimes and reducing sentences for other crimes. In addition, they are pushing to eliminate bail so a criminal can be released without bail and still be expected to show up for his trial. That is the purpose of bail, to guarantee he will show up. All these things have not reduced the amount of people incarcerated. By letting minor criminals go with a slap on the wrist, they encourage them to commit more crimes. Punishment is supposed to make it so they don’t gain from breaking the law. When punishment is weak, they can commit the crime and put up with a little inconvenience before going out and committing more crimes. Crime has continued to rise in areas where laws are not enforced.

 

 

Courts-C-C

08 Jul

The liberals are continuing to push to subvert justice by stacking the Supreme Court. They had to back off on the addition of several justices due to the tremendous negative backlash. People were horrified that they would deliberately stack the court to get their way. However, they have not stopped their efforts to regain control of the Supreme Court. They have seen a number of their pet issues overturned and can’t wait for the conservative justices to retire. They want to regain control of the Court before the Court shoots down any more of their pet issues. They have made frivolous accusations against several conservative judges in order to discredit them and hopefully gain sympathy. While they call for the judges to be impeached, it is doubtful they could gain the support necessary. They are also calling for term limits for the judges. That would eliminate several of the conservative judges and open the way for them to appoint additional justices. Term limits would violate the Constitutional provision that the justices serve for life and would require a Constitutional amendment. The Constitution made provision for them to serve for life so Presidents would not stack the Court to approve their pet issues. Term limits would result in more rapid turnover and allow Presidents to stack the courts. The one thing the founding Fathers feared most. A Constitutional Convention would require 2/3 approval of both houses of Congress and they can’t even get a simple majority. In addition it would require approval of 3/4th of the States and they only control a few States. The States are heavily populated States so they control a lot of votes but they are concentrated in just a few States. That is why they want to do away with the Electoral College. The Electoral College guarantees that the President has broad support across the country and not just in a few States. Our country was founded on the principle that justice is blind and should apply equally to all but liberals have ignored the Constitution and State and federal laws when they prevent them from getting what they want. They have also used the FBI and Dept of Justice as well as the IRS to harass and intimidate conservatives, while turning a blind eye to crimes committed by liberals. It is time to elect representatives who will respect the law and restore justice  in America.
