The Supreme Court Will Side With Trump on Coup

Even if the DOJ charge and convict him, the Court will overturn any ruling not in his favor

Washington DC 8 July 2022

As he has done with the secret service and so many other elements of the US Government, Trump has successfully politicized the Supreme Court. Trump’s judicial coup will facilitate the completion of his on-going political coup. This claim is made separate to the self-evident and total compromise of Justice Clarance Thomas. His wife is a well paid political lobbyist and true believer in the QAnon cult. She texted the White House Chief of Staff the following insanity

“Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”

Note the present tense. One wonders how she explains away that this hasn’t happened or perhaps she thinks the White House is now full of holograms?

Her husband attempted to cover up her relentless promotion of the coup. It has been recently revealed that she worked closely with coup memo author John Eastman. No doubt he was emboldened by the knowledge that he had the tacit backing of a Supreme Court justice. In fact, that issue arose in testimony before the J6C where Eric Herschmann outlines a discussion with Eastman who attempted to argue the Court would back his plan.

In January, the Supreme Court rejected a request by Trump to block the release of his White House records to the House committee investigating Jan. 6. Clarence Thomas was the only justice to dissent, siding with Trump.

Thomas knew his wife’s extensive contacts with the Chief of staff, Eastman and others was in the documents he tried to conceal from the other branch of government. It is hard to think of a greater outrage against the constitution.

The source of considerable commentary, the Thomas’ have suffered zero consequences for their active participation in the coup attempt as both promoters of the coup and protectors of resulting legal challenges. They are no doubt emboldened and anxious to ensure that their hero never faces any judicial check on his authority in the future. They are a total disgrace and shine a light on the fatuous marketing slogan etched onto the West Pediment of the Supreme Court - namely - equal justice under the law.

Setting all of that astonishing anti-democratic political activity aside, the evidence for the claim that the Court has been suborned by Trump comes instead from the Court itself, in the form of a recent spate of contradictory and precedent-busting decisions. The one thing to remember about Trump is his stubborn, even mindless, relentlessness. He will keep waring on norms, eroding them bit by bit, until they collapse into the sea. He is the first example of a force of nature able to completely destroy the otherwise incredible product of the labors of the founding fathers - which include the constitution and universal declaration of human rights. You’ve got to hand it to him, Trump is achieving what George III, Jefferson Davis, Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin all failed to do. And he is doing it with the support of ~50% of the population eager to see democracy destroyed for their idol.

This is how Trump corrodes the rule of law and politicizes everything, including a coequal branch of government. During the first attempted coup, Trump used a variety of techniques to attempt to suborn the DOJ and through it, the Supreme Court. Trump left a door open to the creation of a Bush v Gore scenario in 2020. His appointment of Kavanaugh and Barrett related directly to their roles in support of Bush in Bush v Gore. Trump surmised from their backgrounds that these appointments would be “his” justices when called upon to support a coup. So when the Supreme Court threw out bogus election fraud cases a livid Trump attacked Justice Kavanaugh. A valuable lesson was learned and the norms of the Court were diminished a step further.

Trump’s intent to use the Court to overturn the election by creating a Bush v Gore scenario was evident months out from voting day. Having taught Kavanaugh a lesson, he then leaned on Barrett. He publicly declared he was "counting on" the Supreme Court to "look at the ballots”. Barrett was awake to Trump’s plan to use the court to steal the election. At her confirmation hearing she found it necessary to state for the record that

"I certainly hope that all members of the committee have more confidence in my integrity than to think I would allow myself to be used as a pawn to decide this election for the American people."

If arrested and convicted, the American people will likely discover in the resulting Trump v US appeal that, yet again, Barrett was lying to get the job. As a result, the United States now faces the prospect that the only way to prevent a dictatorship is through the courts. But even that option is now likely closed because Trump successfully made it “his Court”. Based on its recent spate of unreasonable decisions, the Court can be expected to dutifully overturn any decision that is not favorable to Trump. Yet again, Trump wins.]
