So terrible that Facebook and Twitter took down the story of “Smoking Gun” emails related to Sleepy Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in the @NYPost. It is only the beginning for them. There is nothing worse than a corrupt politician. REPEAL SECTION 230!!! https://t.co/g1RJFpIVUZ

Here is John Nolte's latest column.

This 91-year-old Independent supporter of Joe Biden who graduated from Huntsville High School in 1946, studied one semester at the University of Texas and graduated from Sam Houston State Teachers College in 1951, would like to issue a simple challenge to Republicans who support President Trump’s re-election: If you depend on Fox News, One America News or Rush Limbaugh for all or most of your political information, please Google Biden’s Oct. 6 Gettysburg campaign speech on C-SPAN.

After fair-minded Republicans watch Biden’s Gettysburg address, they’re tempted to check other free press media sources to validate what they’ve been told about President Trump’s great leadership.

A few will join millions of other long-time Republicans who believe Trump has made a mockery of traditional GOP conservative values. They agree with esteemed American journalist Bob Woodward, who concluded after many recorded interviews that “Trump is the wrong man for the job.”

Note from KBJ: I hate to break it to you, Alston, but Donald Trump is not a conservative. He's a populist. You would know this if you watched anything other than CNN and MSNBC.

I haven’t heard (or seen) any discussion of this, but suppose Amy Coney Barrett becomes a Supreme Court justice, as I expect she will. That makes six conservatives and three progressives (for lack of better labels).

The rule in the Supreme Court is that if the Chief Justice is in the majority, he or she gets to designate the author of the opinion. The Chief Justice can write every majority opinion if he or she wants, and can certainly take the most important cases.

Suppose a case comes along with a 5-3 lineup (not counting Roberts). You’ve got Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett on one side and the three progressives (Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan) on the other.

Roberts might want to join the progressives, but what would that avail? He would be on the losing side, one of four dissenters. His dissenting opinion would be a cry in the dark. If he joins the five conservatives, however, he gets to write the majority opinion, and that’s a big deal. He can frame the issue as narrowly as he wants (to limit its precedential value) and lay whatever legal foundation he wants under it.

I think we’ll see a lot of 6-3 cases in the next few years. Roberts will be in the majority not because he wants to be there, but because he wants to trim the sails of the conservatives (especially Alito and Thomas, and maybe also Barrett).

This is happening all over the U.S. Rigged Election??? https://t.co/MG0d9xUH1Z
