RIP American Democracy

17. The Republican appointed members of the Supreme Court are now leading the coup.

They are clearly grabbing power and destroying the Constitution as we know it. They are no longer even pretending to be honest arbiters of the law or the Constitution.

The President promised in the presidential oath of office: "to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution". So, Mr. President, DO IT.

The Republican appointed members of the supreme court are a prime example of who or what was contemplated in the federal employee's oath of office: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". I'm pretty sure this oath is sworn to by all federal employees - military, Secret Service, FBI, CIA... everyone. They all need to step forward.

The Republican members of the court have established themselves as domestic enemies of the Constitution.

The person with the most power readily available at this point in time is the current President. He needs to get his ass in gear and do something. Hell with the election. Stop the coup.

He says he can do the job. Now is the time, the ultimate test. He was elected by the voters. He is legitimate.

Trump, the Republican controlled court, the Federalist Society, the radical religious community, and a group of billionaires are big thinkers. Stopping them will require bold action, not a debate, not a great political ad, not politics as usual. With the supreme court leading the charge, even an election may not stop the coup. We have entered a new paradigm. We need to defend the Constitution and the function of government now.

DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION NOW
