The Upside Down Flag and the Unsupreme Supreme Court

 When it was discovered, two weeks ago, that after the 2020 election, an upside down flag flew in front of Samuel Alito's house, he admonished his wife, who he said placed it there. In other words, he threw his wife under the bus.Why, then (never believe an apparent liar) was that flag up for four days? A few days later, another discovery was made; in front of his beach house flew a flag in support of the former president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

Wait--isn't the supreme court supposed to be apolitical? Not when 45 appointed some of the most conservative justices this country has ever known in the past few decades. This is the court that overturned Roe V. Wade, voting rights, continues to show support for Republican gerrymandered districts AND has Clarence Thomas (who apparently falls asleep at hearings) on the court, a man who accepted millions of dollars in donations form private donors to do their bidding. Did I mention his wife, Ginni, supported and was at the January 6th insurrection?

Soon this corrupt, lawless Supreme Court (sorry, Justice Roberts, your legacy is done) is posied to hear an immunity case regarding the fomer president. My guess is these two justices, in love with the former president, and the three other justices who receieved their tenure because of Trump, will grant him the immunity THAT NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY has ever receieved. And with each lawless act this man-- the Donald--commits, his fan-base expands. I can not wrap my brain around this. Any ordinary citizen would already be in jail for a fraction of what he has done.

Allegedly, the buck is supposed to stop here, with the Supreme Court, where justice SHOULD prevail, but does not. Being a president does not make you above the law, and certainly the former president is lawless with so many felonies....and counting. My guess is he will get this immunity. My husband Ira suggests if the president is above the law  and Trump is given this immunity, it is Biden's turn (a president can do anything--right??) to lock him up--and throw away the key. He says the Democrats can also play ugly.

But they won't. It is not in Biden's blood to play mean and dirty. And surely I have no faith(nor does the country, by the way, where the approval rating for the court resides at about 15%) in the Supreme Court, which is doing everything in its power to have a criminal march merrily into the White House.

  1. The approval rating went up for the S.C.-35 percent. Sorry for the error. And poised, not posied. Wow!
