Jesus' Coming Back

Thank You, Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, And Elena Kagan, For Your Stunning Bravery And True Patriotism

Until this week, it wasn’t clear whether the Supreme Court would allow itself to be turned into a political weapon for Democrats or bow under extreme pressure from the news media, but at least for now, all nine justices have proven they are not ready to become a full partisan tool of the left.

In a unanimous ruling issued Monday, the court declared it unconstitutional for a state to determine whether a private citizen can be disqualified from holding federal office. Yes, all nine members concurred with that conclusion, even Democrat appointees Sonia “wise Latina” Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson of “black girl magic” fame.

“We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office,” the opinion said. “But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”

That word “especially” must sting a bit. The dominant argument in favor of Colorado’s secretary of state removing Donald Trump’s name from Republican primary ballots was that Democrats claim he engaged in an “insurrection” while in office, violating his oath as an “officer of the United States.” The president is apparently not just any “officer of the United States,” even when that office is held by Trump, and some state-level officeholder can’t just nullify his campaign, whether they think he’s an insurrectionist or not. (They don’t honestly think that, it’s just a ploy to deny him as a choice at the ballot box.)

In a joint concurrence with the court’s judgment, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson said allowing any state to unilaterally disqualify a candidate for federal office would prove “chaotic,” is “at odds with our Nation’s federalism principles” and “would defy logic.” They further wrote that it would “imperil the Framers’ vision of ‘a Federal Government directly responsible to the people.’”

In other words, Colorado had no case, and the Democrats and loudmouths in the media who supported it were obviously opposed to the Constitution.

What courageous patriots these three strong women proved to be in their contribution to democracy, even as it’s under siege from anti-liberals like Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post and so many of her peers in the press. It’s a testament to their love for the country that they chose America over party in cosigning a ruling that rebukes Democrats’ lawless intimidation tactics.

Young girls all over the country, particularly black and brown ones, can look to these justices to understand true bravery and loyalty to the nation’s founding.

God bless you, Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson. Your country thanks you.
