And bleaters think we all should be watching this cartoon show.
Leftists are destroying our country
LINK: Those who are waving the Constitution today on the January 6 committee have been major participants in its demise
The United States we think we live in no longer exists, at least so far as the January 6 Committee are concerned.
Our Constitution is supposed to be the overall law of the land that protects our individuality, our freedom and the civil society.
In many ways we live in a post-constitutional America.
Let’s say you are gonna go to a court of law. There is no judge. There is no jury. You don’t have a lawyer. You can’t call witnesses. You can’t provide exculpatory evidence, you have to watch. Let’s say the jury is chosen by Nancy Pukeosi, but don't worry its bipartisan, we have 7 Democrats and 2 Republicans and there's media in the back taking pictures, rolling cameras, taking notes, as ‘scribes’ for the prosecution-the prosecution being the jury... and then reporting, ‘oh we have new findings, new information has come out.’ It's not a perfect parallel but good enough, that is pretty much what's been going on with this January 6 committee.
The political spectacle being force-fed to America is not normal, and in many ways it is using legal precedents otherwise alien to the American political process.
In a normal committee hearing, even a committee hearing-a subcommittee overlooking agricultural subsidies. You would have more opposition than you have in this committee, which is none. I've never seen anything like this before in my life. It's totally choreographed, members are reading off of teleprompters, one member has been given responsibility for leading the hearing, he knows exactly when to stop. So video is played, cherry-picked deposition video, then they have their cherry-picked witnesses asking them questions. This is a hybrid between a political prosecution and a criminal prosecution which is exactly what the framers rejected. We have what's called ‘separation of powers.’
