Justice Delayed is Justice Denied

Happy Chappaquiddick Day! Today is the 56th anniversary of the day Senator Ted Kennedy, who was 37 years old and married, drove his car off a bridge and into Poucha Pond and killed Democrat campaign staffer and "Boiler Room Girl" Mary Jo Kopechne. Of course Teddy got away with it, waiting until the next day to admit to driving the car, stating that he had no relationship with Mary Jo, stating that he wasn't drunk, and he walked away with a 2 month suspended sentence for negligent driving- not DUI manslaughter, not leaving the scene of an accident with a fatality, not making false statements to law enforcement. His insurance company paid a settlement of $141,000 to Kopechne's family and that was the end of it. His wife at the time, Joan, didn't even divorce him. Kennedy remained in the senate another 40 years until his death in 2009, and is laughably buried among America's heroes in Arlington National Cemetary.

Kennedy authored or sponsored over 300 bills that became law, which is a lot but far short of the record for most bills enacted into law, which is 792 and counting, by another lying democrat weasel, Stolen Valor Da Nang Dick Blumenthal. As big of a scumbag as Blumenthal is, at least he didn't kill anybody and then cover it up.

The list of corrupt and downright criminals on Capitol Hill is long and illustrious. Just in my lifetime 37 senators and congressmen have been convicted of felonies on the federal level, most guilty of bribery, money laundering, conspiracies to launder money, or conflict of interest. And that's not even counting unprosecuted crimes, like Bill Clinton lying under oath, the Clinton Foundation's financial crimes, the Biden crime family's financial dealings in Ukraine and China, or the congressional slush fund to settle sexual harrassment claims.

Corruption in the halls of congress is so pervasive that we've almost become immune to it. In other words, we've come to accept that the 535 representatives on both sides of the Capitol building are corrupt, and when we find out one isn't, it is a cause for celebration. We ain't sending our best and the state of the nation reflects that. Perhaps in a representative government it is inevitable, many philosophers and political thinkers have postulated that.

But what happens when the same kind of corruption becomes prevelant in our courts? At least with the legslative and executive branches, the voters can replace the representatives, but in the federal courts, voters have no say so whatsoever. The same corrupt representatives we've come to settle for and send back to bankrupt us further, nominate and confirm the federal judges, and those appointments are for life, with the chance of their being impeached and replaced ridiculously small. When that corruption enters the judiciary and is allowed to metasticize, the system breaks, and that's where we are today with the DC Circuit Court.

When the chief judge of a federal circuit court strategizes with the other judges both in his circuit and nationwide on how to railroad a litigant before the circuit for purely political reasons, not only do you have a massive ethical scandal in the circuit but you have a broken system. Judge Jeb Boasberg, who we've spoken about repeatedly on the show, is the Chief Judge of the DC Circuit. His circuit presided over the January 6 cases, Jack Smith's election interference case against President Trump, the grand jury in the Mar o Lago documents case, and Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian Collusion during Trump's first term. Boasberg himself was the FISA judge who allowed warrants issued by Judge Rosemary Collier to spy on the Trump campaign to remain even though he found that they lacked probable cause and the information gathered had not been used for permissable purpose.

At a meeting of the Judicial Conference, which consists of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts, who is the presiding officer, and the Chief Judge of each federal circuit, as well as the Chief Judge of International Trade, Boasberg "raised his colleagues' concerns that the Trump Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis." Boasberg said that despite the fact that President Trump and his administration is currently the defendant in 120 current lawsuits in the DC Circuit. What a startling admission of bias and confirmation of what we have thought all along, that neither Trump nor his supporters, or any republican for that matter, can get a fair hearing in the DC Circuit. Amazingly enough, Chief Justice Roberts said that he hoped that would not happen and did nothing to adress the obvious bias that Boasberg had stated directly to him.

Sure enough, only a few days later, Boasberg issued the now famous ruling that Trump had to "turn the planes around," an illegal order overstepping the separation of powers in a case Boasberg didn't even have jurisdiction in, according to the Supreme Court. Even after the Supreme Court ruling, Boasberg tried to find Trump in contempt for not following the illegal order. You can't make it up!

Boasberg is doing exactly of what he accused the administration of, ignoring the orders of the Supreme Court and pre-judging cases. The constitutional crisis is NOT President Trump reclaiming and exercizing his Article 2 powers, it is the lawfare and judicial overreach, the lack of action by congress, who established and funds the DC Circuit, and the Supreme Court, who through the leadsership of Norm Eisen's best buddy John Roberts, has failed to reign in the lawless acts of the judges and courts it is superior to.

The problem in Washington is not Trump. It was and is the corruption in the halls of congress and the federal judiciary. Lord Acton's famous quote "Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely" applies to the situation with the Circuit courts, and the DC Circuit in particular. When the Supreme Court fails to act quickly and decisively to reign in the judicial activism in the inferior courts, and congress refuses to do anything about the corrupt judges, then William Gladestone's quote, "Justice delayed is justice denied" applies.

These concerns have existed as long as the idea of our union has, going back to Federalist 47, 51, 53, 71, and 78, written by Hamilton, Madison, and Adams, and Jefferson wrote of his concern that the judiciary could devolve into an acting oligarchy- an oligarchy with lifetime appointments.

Perhaps John Jay knew there would be a Jeb Boasberg and a John Roberts 231 years later when he wrote "Justice is indiscriminately due to all, without regard to numbers, wealth, or rank."

We have to cut through the gaslighting media, fake scandals, and lies, and understand that when those entrusted with the riens of power- particularly with lifetime appointments- only value numbers, wealth, and rank, nobody can have justice, especially a president who is trying to restore justice.
