The Christian case for President Trump… Supreme Court the arbiter of justice?

Who hath directed the spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? ~ Isaiah 40: 13-14

Shama Tobin, American Thinker: Now the ball is finally at the Supreme Court. At the heart of the issue is whether the election, at least in the states in question, violated the constitutional rights of the voters — or whether the election generally violated the Constitution of the United States.

Elections and constitutional rights are highly interconnected. In democracy, elections are the mechanism where voters choose officials to whom they give power to legislate and to interpret and enforce their laws. They are pivotal to the quality of a country’s governance and can greatly affect the country’s future. [continues..]

Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.
~ William Penn

Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
~ Benjamin Franklin

********************

In political elections, a vote is a manifestation of our constitutional right. Thus, for elections to be credible and have integrity, they must reflect the free expression of the will of the people. To achieve this, elections should be fair, honest, and transparent. When the vote count was done in secret and our votes were mixed with fraudulent votes, manually or through some programmed machines, our constitutional right was denied.

Based on myriad factual and scientific evidence, not to mention the testimonies of numerous whistleblowers, that’s exactly what happened in at least six contested states. The election was stolen. Hence, not only is the current outcome of the election in the disputed states unconstitutional, but the election itself is unconstitutional. And a democratic government that follows has only as much legitimacy as the elections themselves. [continues..]

No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defence of the liberties and Constitution of his country.
~ Daniel Webster

Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue. ~ John Adams

********************

There is a fundamental reason why stealing is prohibited by one of the Ten Commandments. Stealing is driven by corrupt morals. That’s why the God of the universe is not joking with the rules. It may bring temporary victory to the thieves, but the consequences to their community or society are always detrimental. The most impoverished nations in the world are generally led by the most corrupt elites. The standard of living and public safety in cities controlled by Democrats are generally deteriorating — not because they are led by Democrats per se, but because they are led by corrupt Democrat local elites.

Corruption is illegal and should never be a norm. [continues..]

********************

In questions of power then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.
~ Thomas Jefferson

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation. ~ James Madison

********************

This brings us to the Supreme Court.

The S.C. justices are viewed as the most knowledgeable constitutional minds in the country. They are supposed to make tough and impartial decisions that few mortals are qualified to make. They are supposed to make their decisions certainly not based on what the media or a political party says, but on their deep understanding of the Constitution.

We hope so. If they fail to recognize the problem, we then have a bigger problem than a stolen election. Corruption is becoming a norm. [end Shama Tobin – link below]

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
~ Abraham Lincoln

Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. ~ John Jay, First Chief Justice

UPDATE

Howard J. Warner, American Thinker: And sure enough, Friday evening the United States Supreme Court decided not to take the Texas lawsuit against four states over their application of presidential election law. The Court only mustered two justices in favor of taking the case:  Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. The argument against hearing the case was that Texas lacked standing to sue Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Wow! [-]

[+] … However, on Friday, the Court’s majority demonstrated a lack of fortitude. For a divided and skeptical citizenry this is disappointing. An overwhelming majority of Trump’s voters (and a large minority of Biden’s voters) feel this was a dishonest election. A judicial review would provide some comfort to those citizens that perceive real harm by the elitist establishment class. Failure to recognize this feeling and examine it increases their discontent and isolation. Now the battle cry of “stop the steal” will reverberate for years. Perhaps there is fear that evidence of irregularities would demonstrate the real corruption of the establishment and swamp — the thirst for power. If this was a consideration, it is disgraceful!

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. ~ Isaiah 40: 29-31
