Straining at Gnats, Swallowing Elephants: Socrates’ Ghost Tumbles in Eternity at An Apparent Lack of Wisdom on The Part of The Supreme Court
It may be premature to say—but especially in light of a limited bandwidth in considerations in the mitigating issues, on the part of the media, I perceived a myopically simplistic, originalist, alarmist and mundane nature in the justices questions — leaning heavily to the right side of possible concerns — in this Supreme Court hearing, which portray or betray either a pedestrian and mediocre imagination — or a gross dis-ingenuousness; they are legally quite qualified, but appear abstractly and practically deficient in apprehending the significance of not interpreting the clear and present danger posed by not letting the Colorado Court decision stand — or seem poised to. Their over-arching orientation, to my mind, seems able to be characterized as ‘if we let Samaritan home owners disallow sinners from entering their houses, the Samaritans may be denied entry into sinner’s houses — and how would we mitigate that?; so perhaps we should disallow all — the right to protect their houses — to bar such derangement of the good faith practice of being neighborly — a disenfranchisement of those who welcome all and visit in good faith.’
Counselor Murray said it best:
‘We are here today, because Donald Trump attempted to disenfranchise 80 million people.’
And — The court seems poised to aid defense of an arcane interpretation of the word ‘officer‘ to make Trump’s claim of immunity stick — whilst democracy hangs in the balance.
Wise man once said he would try to cross too many bridges at once is liable to split his pants.
