Which of those qualities predominates depends on both the circumstances and the identity of the particular establishment figure in question. On Monday, Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the House Minority Leader, reacted to the Supreme Court\u2019s rather mild ruling in former President Donald Trump\u2019s immunity case by threatening to go nuclear on the entire U.S. Constitution.  \u201cHouse Democrats will engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity with respect to the Supreme Court to ensure that the extreme, far-right justices in the majority are brought into compliance with the Constitution,\u201d Jeffries said, according to congressional reporter Max Cohen of Punchbowl News.  Hakeem Jeffries reacts to SCOTUS immunity ruling: \u201cHouse Democrats will engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity with respect to the Supreme Court to ensure that the extreme, far-right justices in the majority are brought into compliance with the Constitution\u201d \u2014 Max Cohen (@maxpcohen) July 1, 2024     Democrats, of course, have saddled Trump with four criminal indictments, all designed to derail his presidential campaign.  One such indictment in New York, driven by transparently political motives, resulted in a May 30 conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Another indictment, brought by deranged special counsel Jack Smith, sought to bolster the establishment\u2019s phony \u201cinsurrection\u201d narrative by charging Trump with crimes related to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump\u2019s broader protest against the scandalous 2020 presidential election.  Did the Supreme Court get this ruling right?     In Monday\u2019s 6-3 opinion, however, SCOTUS ruled that the Constitution requires \u201cat least a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for a President\u2019s acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility.\u201d SCOTUS did not directly exonerate Trump. It merely established \u2014 what should be obvious \u2014 that presidents enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. Furthermore, it did not establish the line between acts undertaken in an official capacity and those of an unofficial nature.  Teasing constitutional principles out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/let-us-prey-how-a-christian-suicide-bomber-exposed-muslims-faking-conversions-to-avoid-deportation\/\" title=\"Let Us Prey? How A \u2018Christian\u2019 Suicide Bomber Exposed Muslims Faking Conversions To Avoid Deportation\">criminal cases brought<\/a> for political reasons poses challenges. But SCOTUS tried and, in the end, at least succeeded in upholding the independence of the executive branch. With the establishment\u2019s 2020-election-related prosecution now delayed at best, Trump declared victory.  In all likelihood, that was too much for Jeffries and others who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. We already know, of course, that establishment operatives will do anything to maintain power and destroy Trump. They showed as much in 2020 when they used a virus to tank the economy while burning down the country.  Needless to say, people who harbor such inclinations have hostility toward the Constitution, which suggests an authoritarianism rooted in evil. For a moment, however, let us assume that Jeffries is merely stupid. In that case, he would not know that Congress lacks authority over the Supreme Court. Thus, it would likely surprise him to learn that all the \u201caggressive oversight and legislative activity\u201d in the world would amount to kabuki theater.  As any 5th grader knows, the Constitution keeps legislative and judicial power separate. In fact, under Article III, the Constitution allows Congress only to establish inferior courts and remove judges by impeachment \u2014 a cumbersome process designed to protect the independent judiciary from vengeful and grasping Marxists like Jeffries. Furthermore, Congress can neither enlarge nor diminish the federal judiciary\u2019s authority, which comes directly from the People. Thus, thanks to the Founding Fathers, Jeffries has no power to bring SCOTUS into his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/catholic-priest-demoted-after-letting-pop-singer-desecrate-church-for-music-video\/\" title=\"Catholic Priest Demoted After Letting Pop Singer Desecrate Church for Music Video\">deranged version<\/a> of \u201ccompliance with the Constitution.\u201d   A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:  I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d\u00a0  That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.  Gen. Flynn\u2019s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
