In the Trumpian style the Donald has make many ludicrous statements that everyone who doesn’t suck up to him knows is false. He is the embodiment of fake news. Most recently he indicated that his next presidency will see the “termination of all rules…even those found in the Constitution”. Following that he posted on his (ironically titled Truth Social) social media platform that his stolen election (obviously a lie) and the Founding Fathers would not condone false & fraudulent elections”. Further “a massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution”. Trump clearly wants to abolish whatever part of the Constitution doesn’t support his views–maybe that’s a 100% revision. Contrast that with the ultra-conservative Supreme Court oath: ” I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform the duties incumbent upon me as under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” So here we have a former president who swore to defend the Constitution and now wants to revise it and a Supreme Court whose members swore an oath to the Constitution. Remember that Trump appointed the last three justices who promptly perjured themselves by lying to Congress during their vetting. So, the big questions are: whose side will SCOTUS be on if and when the 2024 election is contested? Will they honor their oath, side with Trump–who appointed three of them, or refuse to review whatever issue arises? Make no mistake about it–the 2024 election will be a donnybrook (pun intended).
