Recounts Attorney Robert Barnes,
"Before her nomination, I suggested that Amy Coney Barrett would not defend Trump or populist causes on a range of important topics. She would not help out in the election. She would not be a reliable vote on vaccines and related issues. She would not be a reliable voice on populist issues in general. I was accused of being a traitor. I was accused of having secret agendas. All that nonsense. Guess who the fourth vote was that was not there to take up the election cases--even the ones after the J6 issues to at least correct the next election? Amy Coney Barrett! Who is it that has refused to rule positively on any major vaccine issue for the most part? Amy Coney Barrett. Who is the one who did not join the majority on the election decision? Amy Coney Barrett."
Barnes further describes her decision to not adjudicate the Government/Big Tech censorship issue.
"She played Pontius Pilate. Washed her hands of the responsibility to adjudicate by citing "standing," telling the plaintiffs whose First Amendment rights were violated, that they had no standing to bring a suit."
We're not being asked by the administration. How many young men will have to die? How many young men are we willing to sacrifice?
How much debt will our surviving children need to cover in years to come? Forbes is keeping track of those fiscal numbers. Within days of the assaults on Iran, the costs were staggering: $300 million for three F-15E jets downed by “friendly” fire. $630 million to transport troops, ships and aircraft to the region in advance of the attacks. More than 50,000 troops deployed to the region. $13 million a day just for two aircraft carriers stationed nearby. $43.8 million for 1,250 Kamikaze drones. $2 million each for Tomahawk missiles. $12.8 million each for anti-ballistic missile interceptors.
Forbes estimates that Trump’s military strikes in Iran have already cost American taxpayers over $1 billion, “with a price tag that could approach $100 billion, depending on how long it can stretch on.” The total economic cost of the conflict “could ...
We don't really know if there is a just cause for the Iran War. Confused military personnel do not know why they might die, or for whom they might die. Citizens don't know if their president is acting lawfully or in deadly bad faith and betrayal of his supporters and cabinet.
Under article I, section 8, of the Constitution, it is specifically provided that the Congress shall have the power to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution, not only its own powers but also all other powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
The Constitution limits and restrains the president from reckless conduct.
The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory ...
Mr. Trump loves the "high ratings" of a celebrity and election victories for his legacy. A clean and magnanimous victory over Iran might have provided that. But a two-year quagmire will destroy his legacy, his party, our military and much of the younger generation. And Valerie Jarret will be making policy in 2028.
If the President wanted good "optics" in this imprudent and dangerous war, he would have declared an epic victory immediately after the death of the Ayatollah, pulled American assets home, and arranged the equivalent of a ticker-tape parade for them.
But it has been two full days since the decapitation, and young American bodies are being placed in coffins.
