Trump, it is three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/supreme-court-decision-guide-takeaways-from-the-trump-immunity-ruling-and-other-major-decisions-made-this-term-161931510.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall\"><span class=\"s2\">recent Supreme Court<\/span><\/a> decisions, each are of judicially monumental proportions, which have provided sufficient cause to make certain Trump\u2019s election becomes a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As the Democrats have revealed themselves to be more aligned with a Marxist government, pretend President Joe Biden\u2019s debate performance confirmed the fear that there is a no-one-home presence in the Oval Office. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The lack of a functioning, intellectually absent President should strike fear in the heart of every patriotic American as the war in Ukraine continues to escalate with NATO encouraging Europe to draft its sons and daughters in preparation for WW III.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For those experts like Col. MacGregor and Scott Ritter, it is clear that the US is no longer the military power it once was; nor has the US developed the sophisticated weaponry necessary to compete with the Russians hypersonic generation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Biden\u2019s inability to close the southern border, allowing millions of highly suspect military aged illegals into the US, unvetted with unknown whereabouts and with nefarious intentions is another inexplicable act by the Democratic Biden who fails to grasp the most elementary aspects of being President.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is not to say that Trump is a perfect Presidential candidate any more than most have their own flaws but Trump\u2019s appointments of Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Comey Barrett and especially the brilliant Neil Gorsuch as Associate Justices have increased the Court\u2019s intellectual and Constitutional grasp of a perspective that has been missing for too many decades.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The trio joined Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Chief Judge John Roberts who is, at heart, nominally a conservative as the 6-3 margins are a welcome measure of a Court which finally understands its duty to preserve America\u2019s historic commitment to liberty, freedom and justice under the US Constitution.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">By comparison, Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-v-8wJkmwBY\"><span class=\"s2\">debate performance<\/span><\/a> accomplished identifying Trump as a mature, rational candidate who did not interrupt or offer snarky insults to challenge Biden on every utterance. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So while Trump largely held his own in comparison, he received a pass that his administration achieved the \u201c<i>greatest economy we have ever seen\u201d<\/i> without mention of an $8.4 trillion increase in the US debt. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">His lack of real knowledge on international geopolitical foreign affairs was especially apparent regarding the future of the Palestinians.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>To date, over 38,000 Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israel\u2019s unrestrained response to a questionable October 7<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> attack causing a massive humanitarian response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In answer to Dana Bash\u2019s question (38:00)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201c<i>would you support an independent Palestinian state in order to achieve peace in the region<\/i>?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Trump\u2019s response: \u201c<i>I would have to see but before we do that; the problem we have is that we spend all the money, so they kill us on trade, I had great trade deals with European nations because if you add them up, they\u2019re about the same size economically. Their economy\u2019s about the same size as the United States.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And they don\u2019t want anything we have, we\u2019re supposed to take their cars, their food, their everything, their agriculture. I changed that but the big thing I changed is that they don\u2019t want to pay and the only that he can play game with NATO is that I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I said, and he\u2019s right about this. I said I\u2019m not going to support NATO if you don\u2019t pay.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>They asked me that question.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you don\u2019t guard us against Russia; at a very secret meeting of the 28 state nations at that time, and I said, no, if you don\u2019t pay I wont do that.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And you know what happened, billions and billions of dollars came flowing in the next day and the next months. But now we\u2019re in the same position.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re paying everybody\u2019s bills.\u201d<\/i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Clearly, if watching the entire debate, Trump was still responding to the previous question on NATO but never clearly answered the question about statehood for Palestine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is of course no secret that Trump, in his first term, proved to be a loyal Zionist to Israel.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>His devotion has only increased as the Israeli have been financially generous to his re election with Marion Adelson, among others, providing substantial support.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">His response to a direct question about the Gaza war:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s4\">\u00a0&#8220;<i>Actually, Israel is the one (that wants to keep going), and you should let them go and let them finish the job. He (Biden) doesn\u2019t want to do it. He&#8217;s become like a Palestinian but they don&#8217;t like him because he&#8217;s a very bad Palestinian. He&#8217;s a weak one,&#8221;<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Those Supreme Court decisions that were announced at the very end of their term before summer break included confirmation that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/read-the-full-supreme-court-decision-on-trump-and-presidential-immunity\"><span class=\"s2\">Presidential immunity<\/span><\/a> exists for every official Presidential Act.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This decision is the Court strengthens Presidential privilege in returning to the Framers vision of Presidential authority.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In other words, if the President is addressing the Boy Scouts, that is a bona fide official Presidential act. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Court\u2019s ruling affirmed that the President cannot be prosecuted for actions related to his core powers as President including his speech at the Capitol hill rally on January 6<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><sup>th.<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><sup>In addition, the Court also <\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/2024\/06\/supreme-court-strikes-down-chevron-curtailing-power-of-federal-agencies\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><sup>overturned the Chevon doctrine<\/sup><\/span><\/a> <\/span><span class=\"s1\">which<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>curtails the power of federal agencies administered by thousands of unelected bureaucrats who have assumed the power to<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>interpret legislation with Courts relying on that interpretation as if the administrative state had become the fourth branch of Federal government.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Dr. Anthony Fauci is one example of an unelected bureaucrat who assumed a powerful position far beyond his authority. For instance, with a pond or water source on your property, the EPA may insist on compliance with the Clean Water Act or even NEPA requirement consistent with Federal law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Court also released their decision upholding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/2024\/06\/justices-rule-for-jan-6-defendant\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Fischer Complaint<\/span><\/a>, that the charge of \u201c<i>obstruction of an official proceeding<\/i>\u201d did not apply to the January 6<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> event; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/23pdf\/23-5572_l6hn.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">affirming<\/span><\/a> that obstruction was only relevant on evidence tampering or destruction of documents. It is anticipated that the decision may impact 300 Americans already sentenced on Obstruction and will also impact charges brought by alleged Special Council Jack Smith against Trump.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is little doubt that had Trump not made the aforementioned Court appointments, none of these three Decisions would have been Approved as each will incrementally increase the country as a Democratic Republic. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, if the Biden Administration defies the Court rulings, who will enforce, who will initiate the arrests.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If Biden defies the Court, the country will then be in the midst of a bona fide Constitutional Crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p3\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Renee Parsons\u00a0served on the ACLU\u2019s Florida State Board of Directors and as president of the ACLU Treasure Coast Chapter.
