Mr. Smith [View all]

[H2O Man]

"We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone." -- Jack Smith

I remember when Mr. Smith was appointed to his current position. A number of the DU community members asked "who?" and "why?" The few of us who were already familiar with him attempted to assure others that this was a great choice, exactly the person our country needed in that position.

Smith's filing with the U.S. Supreme Court per the defendent is evidence of that. I do understand why some community members do not trust the majority of the justices. We remember them selecting the loser of the 2000 election to serve as president. We are all aware of the christian zealots on the court, who overturned Roe. No matter how corrupt and disgusting you may think some of them to be, be aware that I think they are far worse than you do.

Malaise and I would often discuss the federal courts during the defendent's presidency. Especially in late 2020, when the defendent was attempting to get various courts to go along with the Big Lie. Our favorite phrase was "the institutions will hold." And they did.

As noted on The Last Word, the defendent's legal team wants to stretch pre-trial events out as long as possible. They definitely hope the case isn't heard until after next November. Yet their filings speak of the pain and suffering the case is causing the defendent, which suggests they want it to end. How can they oppose Mr. Smith's request that the USSC hear this part of the case immediately?

This is historic. There is zero chance the high court will rule in favor of the defendent. The claim, for example, that because he was impeached, it is double jeopardy does not reach the intellectual level of a seventh grade debate. The defendent's plan to delay, delay, delay did not anticipate Jack Smith.

This move by Mr. Smith should be noted in future history books as being among the most important factors in convicting the defendent, and preventing him from "winning" the 2024 presidential election. An example of the institutions holding. Yet there is another institution that will play an essential role here, and that is comprised of the voting public. We have a job to do, that includes but is not limited to voting. We need to put forth our best efforts to win elections for Democratic Party candidates at all levels.
