By definition,\u200d saints are virtuous. But special counsel\u200b Jack\u2064 Smith, the\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jack-smith-compares-himself-to-a-saint-in-court-brief-against-trump-report\/\" title=\"Jack Smith Compares Himself to a Saint in Court Brief Against Trump: Report\">government agent \u2063determined<\/a> to prevent Donald Trump \u200bfrom becoming president again,\u200c lacks humility. And that&#8217;s just one reason why he can&#8217;t be a saint.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest brief to\u200d the District of \u200dColumbia \u200dCircuit \u200cof the United States \u2063Court of Appeals, Smith compared himself to the medieval Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas \u00e0 \u2062Becket, who\u2062 was officially sainted \u200dby Pope Alexander III in 1173. Smith seems to think that Pope\u200c Francis might \u200ddeem him saintworthy in 2023. Quite a lofty aspiration, isn&#8217;t \u2063it?<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s\u2062 brief requested a gag order on former President Donald Trump. It&#8217;s worth \u2062noting that Trump is\u200d no saint \u2064either. If he had a bit of humility,\u2064 he might avoid getting himself into trouble with his \u200cfiery rhetoric. But Trump isn&#8217;t running for sainthood; he&#8217;s running for president.<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s comparison to Becket is quite audacious. Becket&#8217;s name is revered and his story has inspired countless works of literature. Smith seems to envision a similar legacy for himself, with his name enshrined in world-class literature and memorialized\u200c by statues.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, on the other hand, has not held back in\u2063 his criticism of Smith. He has called him &#8220;deranged&#8221; and \u200da &#8220;Trump-hating prosecutor.&#8221; Trump even suggested that Smith \u200bmight end up in a mental\u2064 institution. The animosity between the two is palpable.<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s brief cited King Henry II of England&#8217;s remarks that supposedly led to Becket&#8217;s murder. The king&#8217;s rhetorical question, &#8220;Will no one rid me \u2063of this meddlesome priest?&#8221; allegedly prompted four knights to kill Becket. It&#8217;s a historical \u200breference that Smith uses to \u2064justify his\u200b request for a gag \u200corder on Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But the attempts to silence Trump have nothing to do with medieval \u200dhistory or Catholic saints. They are blatant acts\u2063 of election\u2062 interference. If successful,\u200c they would challenge the \u200cConstitution&#8217;s \u200bguarantee of free \u200dspeech.<\/p>\n<p>Smith may see himself as a towering figure\u2062 in history, but he&#8217;s more like a character from a comic book,\u200c a would-be Judge \u2062Dredd. And if he and his cohorts succeed in silencing Trump, it will be a historic moment for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>An Urgent Note from Our Staff:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>The Western \u2064Journal has been labeled \u201cdangerous\u201d simply because we have a biblical worldview and speak the truth about what is happening in America.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We refuse to let Big Tech and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pfizer-recruits-super-bowl-champ-to-be-official-spokesman-for-covid-booster\/\" title=\"Pfizer hires Super Bowl champ as COVID booster spokesperson.\">woke advertisers dictate<\/a> the content we share with our community.

But the comparison falls flat, as Smith \u200dlacks the humility and righteousness\u2063 that saints\u200b possess.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Smith&#8217;s request for a \u2062gag order \u200don Trump raises serious concerns about free speech and the democratic process. Trump, despite his flaws, has the\u200b right\u2062 to express his opinions and engage in political discourse. \u2063Silencing him would\u2064 set a dangerous precedent and undermine the principles \u2064of democracy that \u200bour country holds dear.<\/p>\n<p>It is evident\u200d that Smith&#8217;s motivations go beyond \u200cimpartiality and fairness. His animosity towards Trump is well-documented,\u200c and this latest\u2064 comparison to Becket is\u2064 simply a ploy\u2064 to bolster his own image and narrative. The courts should be wary of such biased intentions \u200band uphold the principles of justice and impartiality.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, comparing oneself to a saint is an audacious and egotistical move. Saints are not \u2064self-proclaimed or chosen by an individual; they are recognized \u2064by the\u2063 church \u200cand the community for their exceptional virtue and selflessness. Smith&#8217;s comparison to Becket is \u200bnothing more than a desperate attempt to elevate \u2062himself and undermine his adversary.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Jack Smith&#8217;s comparison of himself to a saint in his \u200bcourt brief against Trump is a clear display of his lack\u200d of humility and righteousness. His\u200d request for a gag order on\u200d Trump raises concerns about\u2062 free\u200c speech and \u200dthe \u2064democratic process.\u200d The courts must remain impartial and prioritize \u200djustice over personal\u200c vendettas. Smith may aspire to \u200dbe a saint, but his actions and motivations fall far short of the virtuous qualities that saints possess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humility is a virtue.
