(#6393) For the most part the courts are preserving the rule of law

      The only caveat to my title is that the not so supreme court is less about preserving the rule of law than installing their own republican majority idea of it. Their logic is to move laws away from some but not others. The pattern is clear in too many instances. The most obvious infractions here center on presidential immunity and women's rights. When the republicans on the not supreme court ruled that trump could exercise immunity when no one else is  allowed that dispensation then the rule of law became arbitrary and not universal. When the not supreme court ruled that women are not individuals capable of determining the future over their own bodies like men are afforded then we have unequal interpretation of the rule of law.
     The lower courts for the most part are steadfast in defending the rule of law as applicable to the intent of the law and its equal application. Our nation will owe a debt of gratitude to many justices who stood up strongly in favor of the rule of law and its importance to our democracy. I say that as someone who believes we will survive the ambitious overthrow of our democracy by trump and his republican coconspirators. In trump's world we the people should not be allowed to have elections where republicans are in danger of losing power. His whole schtick is keeping himself installed in our presidency for as long as he lives and then to pass it down to whomever he deems appropriate.
     In less than 7 weeks the early voting will begin and for me it is an anxious time. I have seen where popular sentiment turned to disappointment too many times so even though the mood of the nation is strongly with we democrats the proof of it won't be here until election night on Tuesday November 3rd. I know trump will do everything he can to lessen the coming blows to his  majorities in Congress but I expect the courts to keep him from dishonesty. Yes, even the not supreme court is included in this. They see the writing on the wall and the survival mode part of their nature doesn't want to make decisions so close to an election that is obviously meant to negatively sway legal protections for voters at the threshold of the election.
