Robert Hur, the SCOTUS ballot case, and constitutions be damned – When laws don’t matter!

The problem with laws is that they’re just words. When it’s ink on parchment or bits in a computer, laws are just words. There is no law that’s going to jump up and place a criminal in handcuffs. No law that’s going to convict those who have done evil. Only people who enforce those laws protect us from their evil. What do we do when those we’ve hired to enforce those laws ignore them instead?

Take, for example, Robert Hur, whose report on Joe Biden’s document scandal admits there is evidence of crimes being committed but recommends no charges be fined because he is a ‘sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” And justices Jackson and Thomas, who, while questioning attorneys in the Trump Colorado ballot case, seem disconnected from the very Constitution they took an oath to support. Or how about the Supreme Court of Hawaii, which not only claims the constitutions of their state and the United States don’t say what they clearly say, but that they are not the supreme law of their state.

In all of these cases, the law is clearly stated yet ignored. If they say attributed to Edmund Burke was correct and “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”, then We, the People, are complicit with the evils being done since we refuse to stand against them.

Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care. I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
