Prayers on the 50yard line a victory for the Constitution

27.06.2022

The best thing I've heard or read today is that we can all pray on the 50-yard line. It's a victory for the Constitution. It's a victory for the best traditions of our country.

You can also choose to pray on the 25 or in the end zone. My other hunch is that it is a victory for all people who want to pray any way, any place, anytime. I really want to talk about how low interest rates and high wage costs are spurring inflation and will keep the inflation rate high for a long time. The Bank for International Settlements, a clearing house central bank for central banks and a valued think tank, came out with a blistering report that real interest rates for all big countries are way too low and central banks should raise them if they want to avoid a repeat of the 1970's.

We're going to talk about this with Kevin Hassett in a little while, but it underscores my instinct that the November elections are going to be about inflation, record gas prices and recession, not about the Roe decision made Friday by the Supremes. I could be wrong, but that's still my view and one more thought about the Supremes.

Why is the Justice Department undermining law enforcement and respect for the Supreme Court by issuing a lawsuit against the Roe v. Wade decision? This undermines the authority of the court. The Justice Department is supposed to defend the law, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.

This is the Justice Department that has refused to prosecute illegal protesters marching outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. That type of intimidation represents a refusal to enforce federal law. A year in prison is a fine for a violation of the law. The protesters were trying to influence the final ruling. Governors Youngkin and Hogan asked the DOJ to enforce the law as it is written. Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the Justice Department never responded, and let's not forget that Attorney General Merrick Garland called parents who were trying to improve their children's education by active attendance at school board meetings. He labeled them domestic terrorists and never took it back! Never apologized.

When Joe Biden and his cronies talk about Republicans undermining democracy, perhaps someone can point out that the Biden Justice Department is a politically politicized leftist operation that doesn't care about preserving our democracy, which leads me back to my first thought this evening: thank goodness we can pray about it.
