The Confusing Truth


There’s an old joke that goes thusly:



A little boy was in a cemetery with his mother. “Mommy” the boy asked, “Do they ever bury two people in the same grave?”



“Of course not, dear,” replied the mother. “Why would you think that?”



“The tombstone back there said, ‘Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.’”


I’ll wait until you’re finished chuckling before I continue.



Just this morning the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) decided to file a lawsuit against none other than President Donald Trump.



Today’s suit was based on a premise that President Trump was still both the President of the United States, and that he has yet succumbed to all those pins in the ACLU’s voodoo doll.



It seems as though very few lawyers in America are happy, and they decided to file one lawsuit after another against the current administration to get over their funk.  Apparently it’s not working.



Many congressional representatives and senators have law degrees, and feel the need to “do something” to stop The President from making America great again.



President Trump has been doing something few of those elected officials have been doing for the past two-and-a-half years: their job.



If you don’t believe me, ask yourself why, after 29 years sucking on the federal guvment teet, Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is now ready to tackle the job of looting the rest of your hard-earned money by using his other hand.  But I digress.



Every time President Trump issues a notice for national safety, he is immediately blocked with a lawsuit.  When he tries to enhance national security, another lawsuit is filed.  He wants to help illegal alien children with furniture, and yet one more lawsuit is imposed against his idea.  And so it goes.



In fact, since he has taken office, the Trump Administration has been deluged with literally thousands of lawsuits – many frivolous – to stop or slow down the progress of helping American citizens, a form of legislative speed bumps.



One would think that a trespasser should be arrested and tried for his crime.  In today’s litigious America, one would be wrong.



Countless idiots use stupid arguments with bumper sticker slogans such as, “We are better than that,” and “No one is illegal,” are but two meaningless verbal injections used to keep the miscreants here, illegally.



To combat these breaches in the law, attorneys – seemingly crawling out of their sewer homes – are not only able to help defendants with these cases, but they are also eagerly willing.



Of course, there’s a time and place for taking sides in controversial cases, and lawyers must do their jobs, which often include defending the likely guilty,



In any case, societal people are guaranteed a fair trial to ensure a sense of decorum; too often that line is smudged by rabid wannabe prosecutors.



Even non-prosecutors like members of Congress and the Senate like to take on the roll of

judge, jury, and executioner, even if they are grossly mistaken because of their bravado and vivid imaginations.



Through these tactics, legal waters are muddied even more, fueled by half-baked opinions and lynch-mob methods.



So it is with interest how poor politicians and crony lawyer buddies are able to twist an American institution into a years-long dog-and-pony show for political theater, clearly to avoid having a duly elected President remain in office.



An echo of banana republic procedures used throughout the world by rebels in the midst of overthrowing dictators has reached our shores.  But instead of using guns and Molotov cocktails, Democrats are currently employing arduous legalities to alter the system to suit their desires.



It’s apparent to me we need fewer lawyers and less litigation in favor of the rule of law.  That law constantly harped about is how the President is subject “to the rule of law.”  Amen.



That important, oft-cited rule of law also applies to illegal aliens trespassing and avoiding America’s legal system spouted by so many.  It’s about time to enforce those laws with similar verve.
