Quote:
The right has a philosophy of government that includes not only substantive ends but also certain views on constitutional structure. This philosophy addresses the basic contours of government and the responsibilities of the constituent branches, as well as the division of labor between federal and state governments. In this respect, their beliefs largely track what one learns in junior high civics, i.e., legislatures write laws, courts interpret them, and the presidency enforces them.
The left, by contrast, is completely indifferent to these questions. It does not favor, in the abstract, a muscular or minimalist judiciary, a strong or deferential executive, or legislative supremacy versus subordination. A branch of government can be promoted or diminished solely because of the policy outcome.
The installation of Kamala Harris by a committee of donors and party big shots is obviously anti-democratic, elitist, and disrespectful to voters.
Biden came to power in both the 2020 primary and general election by dubious means. Unsurprisingly, his presidency matched its origins and has been steeped in intrigue, lies, and propaganda to conceal his weaknesses and unpopularity. We can expect Harris to govern in much the same way, should she win. That is, a Harris administration would likely be secretive, lawless, and indifferent to the consent of the governed.
Comment:
Broadly speaking, a good article, this one, as far as it goes. Worth reading. But it is nowhere near strong enough in its condemnation of the inane, intensely irritating, repulsive, pro-terrorist Kamala. The presidency of such a dunce, imbued with the worst ideas ever thought up by humanity-hating men, and easy to be manipulated by the arch-villain Obama, would mean the end of the constitutional republic of America and the extinguishing of humankind’s ‘last best hope’.
Yes, that’s perfect!
