As I write this, the Supreme Court has just announced, by a unanimous decision, that the state of Colorado does not have the authority to keep Trump off of the ballot, for the presidency. Excellent news!
Granted, not everyone on the Left, agrees with me. In fact, there is considerable weeping and wailing, within the world of all of those who consider themselves to be socialists. This is not too surprising, as so many of those people tend to be starry eyed optimists, fully expecting the Supreme Court to stop Trump from becoming president again. That is not about to happen! It is up to the common people, the working class, the proletariat, as well as the farmers and middle class people, to stop Trump!
The significance of this decision, by the Supreme Court, has been largely overlooked, at least by those on the Left. In effect, the SC ruled that the states do not have the right to meddle in a federal election!
Which is precisely the very thing the states have been doing, since the days of the Civil War!
This calls for a little explanation.
The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, lays out the procedure to be followed in all federal elections. As I have documented, in a previous article, the fact that this procedure is not being followed, there is no need to repeat it here. Yet as the Twelfth Amendment is so important, I have chosen to copy it here, as this is a different subject.
Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution:
‘’The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;
The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.
The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.’’
No doubt, all Americans can testify to the fact that this procedure is not being followed! Not even close! For that reason, we can say that Trump has a point when he said that the 2020 federal election was fraudulent! Because it was! But not for the reasons he stated! It was fraudulent because it did not follow the procedure laid out in the Constitution! Just as the 20-16 federal election was fraudulent! That was the election that placed Trump in the White House! Trump too, was a fraudulent president!
Under the current system, there is no federal election! There is a ‘’presidential election’’, which is held in November, in which the voters are asked to choose between the candidates for Presidency, of the two main stream political parties, Democratic and Republican. It should be noted that each Presidential candidate gets to choose a ‘’running mate’’, for the office of Vice President.
The ‘’winner’’ of that election is not the candidate who gets the most popular votes. Indeed not. The ‘’winner’’ is the candidate who wins the most Electoral Votes! That is where state laws come into play!
Each state has a certain number of Electoral Votes. Each state also has laws which require their Electors to vote for a particular candidate of one of the two Parties, Democratic or Republican, depending upon the outcome of the popular vote. All states are meddling in a federal election!
The legal experts are convinced that the Supreme Court just made it quite clear that only the Congress has the right to disqualify candidates, for any federal office. That includes the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. Not the states!
It may be objected, that if the current procedure was Unconstitutional, it would have been ruled as such, many years ago. Such is hardly the case. The Supreme Court rules only on matters of law which are brought before it. As no one has ever challenged the validity of the federal elections, as they are currently being applied, the Supreme Court has never issued a ruling on the matter.
It may also be objected that if the Supreme Court was to rule that the last federal election was fraudulent, then Biden is an illegitimate President, so that Kamala Harris is in line for the Presidency. But as Harris is an illegitimate Vice President, the next in line for the Presidency is the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. From Biden to Harris to Johnson! From bad to worse to ‘’worser’’!
Of course, I am suggesting that Leftist lawyers challenge the 20-20 federal election, on the grounds that it did not follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment. Not that I am a lawyer, so I do not know the procedure to be followed. I do know that the Supreme Court could choose to decline to consider such a challenge. That is of secondary significance.
The main thing is to raise the level of awareness of the working people, by whom I mean the proletariat, as well as family farmers and at least the lower level of the middle class. The vast majority of those people are honest, hard working, law abiding, tax paying, patriotic American citizens. We must respect their beliefs. This includes their belief in the democratic process. As that includes their belief that the system can be changed from within, we must assist them in trying to do just that. Experience is a fine teacher!
It may also be objected that such a legal court challenge could cost a great deal. To this I can only respond that the 20-20 federal election cost $14.4 Billion! That was over double the 20-16 federal election! It is very likely that the forth coming 2024 election will cost far more!
I mention this as a means of putting this into perspective. The ruling class of billionaires can afford to spend billions, on a federal election, but have nothing to spare for those who are hungry, unemployed and homeless.
We can expect the ranks of those people to grow, as ever more businesses go broke. For that reason, I can only suggest that those who are currently employed, consider investing a little money in a legal challenge. I am sure that there are Leftist lawyers, who are experts in Constitutional law, who are prepared to volunteer their time. Otherwise, they will soon wish they had! Trump has every intention of returning to power, and settling a few old scores. That maniac must be stopped!
It is also a fact that he is but one member of a monopoly capitalist class of billionaires, whom are referred to as the bourgeoisie. That whole class must be overthrown, through revolution. The only class that can overthrow the billionaires is the working class, the proletariat. Now it is a matter of raising their level of awareness, to the point that they embrace the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
A Supreme Court challenge to the legality of the ‘’November election’’ is certain to get the attention of all working people! As soon as they are convinced that all federal elections, for the last century and a half, have been fraudulent, then they are sure to become more ‘’sweetly reasonable’’. This is to say that they will become more open to the ideas of Scientific Socialism, including the Marxist theory of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
That is a big step in the right direction.
