Anyone who believes in democracy and freedom knew it would take a great deal of patience to turn this ship around and right it again. The misdirection of the United States of America happened over time. It won’t take long to return to a benevolent circumstance for all, but, it does take a great deal of patience and steadfast insight.
Governor Newsome is one of those men who presides over an enormous state. California is a big chuck of the west coast of the United States. Anyone who has been governor of that incredibly free state would have experienced the USA in a way no other had unless perhaps the president of the country. It is prophetic and somewhat welcome for Trump to pick as his first victim, California.
It is a relief to realize California has been able to secure the proper attention of the judiciary in the request for briefs to be filed in this head to head battle of freedom versus authoritarianism. I know many governors in this country are up to the challenge, but, Governor Newsome has a state that demands freedom in the way Trump most wants to oppress it including a very dynamic economy that rivals most of the world’s economies.
Judges in the USA mostly have a practice free of oppression. They don’t anticipate hatred, anger, corruption, or authoritarianism to win the day. The USA has developed over centuries and next year it will be two and a half centuries old. Many like to call the governance of the USA an experiment, but, 250 years of practicing democratic principles with the outcomes we have witnessed in our lifetime is not really an experiment at all. It is an odds on favorite the USA has already been there and done that in any judicial decision.
I believe judges all along the path from local to Supreme Court have to get a clear picture of bad intent for this democracy before they will call it. No judge that I have read yet dating back to the January 6th insurrection has acted against the democracy. They yield to allow freedom of legal expression in their courts of law, but, ultimately they are interested in upholding justice and not pretense.
In requesting briefs to be submitted in California it is a way to bring to focus the law, its application, and some great legal argument that will result in clarity.
The problem with Trump’s application of the law is corruption. Republicans play a game of “word meaning” in their politics. In the case of the USA Constitution there is more than wordy definition entering the decisions of justice. Justice is dynamic and not just a word.
