Is the Supreme Court in on the coup and trying to end American democracy?

Many Americans are confused by the spectacle they heard.

We couldn't witness it because Republicans on the Supreme Court

won't allow their proceedings to be televised yesterday

as an attorney for Donald Trump at least three different times

in different ways argued that Trump was above the law

and should be treated as such.

Even more baffling was the apparent agreement with that position by the six Republicans

on the court.

Every time the government's attorney or the Democratic appointees on the court tried to bring the discussion back to

calling balls and strikes on the case before us, as Roberts said that is all he'd ever do.

The Republican appointees changed the subject, claiming that they're more concerned about future presidents

than Trump. Right. Associate Justice Sam Alito who famously loves 16th

century witch-burning judges and unborn children went so far as to create a hypothetical

and defensive Trump that turned reality on his head. Keep in mind it is Trump

not Biden who spent nearly four years trying to destabilize both our political and judicial systems.

Nonetheless, Alito asked, quote, if an incumbent who loses a very close hotly contested

election knows that a real possibility after leaving office is not that the president

is going to be able to go off into a peaceful retirement but that the president may be

criminally prosecuted by a bitter political opponent. Will that not lead us into a

cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy?

End quote.
