We the People. Those are the first three words to the Preamble of our Constitution. They are written boldly and big so you know who this document is for. The ability to write this document was the freedom that we had won from the British. There was no other country in the world that was going to do what we were. A government by the people, for the people. No Kings or Nobility, just the people deciding on how they wanted to be governed.  Now they did not have a blueprint to follow so you can say that they debated and made it up as they went along. They had a vision of what they wanted for the newly formed country and went about putting it down on paper. The end result was the Constitution of the United States of America. Every policeman, soldier, judge, politician and civil servant has sworn an oath to protect and defend that document.

 As we are now seeing those oaths are just words that were said that really have no meaning to the people saying them. A Branch of our Government was tried to be destroyed and a member of the branch of Government was threatened with death. Where are all the defenders of the Constitution? The legislative branch of the government is part of the Constitution that people like Ted Cruz and Marc Rubio have sworn to protect. There needs to be an investigation. There needs to be people held accountable. It was a treasonous act and should be treated accordingly. The insurrectionist wanted to bring down a branch of our government and install a leader that had not been elected. That is treason and members of congress have taken an oath to protect the constitution from all threats. They should stand up to their oath or resign.

Just like any other document two people can read the same sentence and come away with two different opinions. That is why we need a non political court system. There should be no conservative Judges and no liberal Judges. We need Judges that can separate politics from the truth. Judge’s religious beliefs have no place in the Courts. Judge’s racial beliefs have no place in the courts. The truth should not be liberal or conservative it should be the truth. If they cannot interpret the Constitution fairly then they should not be on the Court. If they think that justice should be different for a minority than a white they should not be on the court. If they think freedom for women should be different from a man’s they do not belong on the bench.  Our laws are not being applied equally and the outrage should be felt by all of us but it is not.  White privilege is being seen in the courts probably more than anywhere else. Why does society see a black man as a criminal and a white man as a person that made a mistake? They both broke the law but one seems to be more dangerous in the eyes of the court system than the other. A prosecutor’s job should be searching for the truth and not a rush to judgment just to get a conviction. A women’s freedom should be no less than that of a man. Her body is hers and not the government or the courts.

 The courts are there to protect our freedoms and our freedoms are being attacked daily. Our right to protest is guaranteed by the Constitution yet states are passing laws to make it harder to protest. They pass a law in hopes that the conservative judges will side with them. I just go nuts when I hear people talk like that. Our freedoms should not be to taken away by the people that have sworn an oath to protect the constitution. All of our rights of choice should not be infringed upon by the courts.  There really is no middle ground here. Either you believe in the United States of America or you don’t because the United States of America is that document. The Constitution.

It is hard being an American. At times you must listen to some of the most outrageous stuff that it just makes you sick. They have to right to say it but you have the right to walk away and not listen. You have a right to your beliefs and I have a right to mine. When a pro-life person tries to force their will on someone else they are taking away someone else’s freedom. You are free to be pro-life but I should also be free to be pro-choice. I am not taking away your freedom but you seem it is ok to take away mine.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...
  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...
  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
