People, you need to get used to the bizarre bent that jurisprudence took in Judge Ellis’ decision – trust me, if he thought he could get away with it, the judge would have apologized for keeping him locked up for as long as he did, Manafort only got as much time as he did because he forgot to follow the “rich white boy’s sorrow and contrition” script!
Judge Ellis is being joined daily by massive numbers of new jurors vetted by the Federalist Society and committed to the “Rule of Law” in only the most ephemeral way!
This is the REAL THRUST of the Republican Party! While they’ve kept us distracted with the continuing “clown show” of the Trump Administration, Mitch McConnell has been busy packing the court with trusted conservatives whose FIRST question will ALWAYS BE, “Will my adjudication advance the Conservative agenda?”
By the time Democrats retake the Senate and the Presidency in 2020, America will ALREADY be royally “screwed”. By 2020 the American judiciary will have been made staunchly conservative, and, therefore ANY legislative action they desire struck down merely needs be brought before the judiciary and “poof”, it’s gone – and this is NOT for two, four or six years – this is for a generation!
You thought the “Citizens United” decision was a travesty of justice? You ain’t seen nuttin’, yet! You’ll start seeing decisions handed down that will make “Dred Scott” look like benign social justice. Fortunately, at 71, I won’t be around to experience the full horror of what was unleashed on the world by the utter stupidity exhibited in the 2016 Presidential election. I am, however, enough of a historian to fully understand what’s probably going to happen.
