"There Is Something Of An Ill Omen Amongst Us"
From J.J. Sefton:
As Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh starts his first day on the Supreme Court, there's still a whole lot of fallout politically both in a tactical sense as we are now four weeks out from the Midterms and in the long run in terms of what is now an open assault on the rule of law, the very nature of the law itself in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and a political movement and its party that seeks nothing less than permanent and absolute power by any and all means at its disposal.
It's kind of bizarre since, on the surface we continue to go through the motions both in terms of process and procedure with hearings and elections and yet the Democrat-Left-Media complex and its minions have engaged in what can only be described as a coordinated effort to overthrow the nation via corrupt bureaucrats, media that sows disinformation and foments violence and insurrection and actual acts of violence and insurrection themselves.
Ultimately this leads to Steve Scalise, Rand Paul and others. Abraham Lincoln was prescient in 1838 when he delivered a speech before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield Illinois, not just about what was to happen in 1860 but what is happening now: ...
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen, amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth, and an insult to our intelligence, to deny...
Aside from the references to slavery and contemporaneous events, what he describes is absolutely in line with what we are witnessing today. From sanctuary city/state laws that nullify Federal law (and even their own statutes), judges who abuse their authority to violate the separation of powers to elected officials who use their position to trample on the rights of political opponents and civilians to cities like Portland, Oregon and Oakland, California that are allowing organized terrorists to take to the streets and indeed terrorize the populace.
While Lincoln believed that the solution was to be found in the common reverence for the laws and the sprit of the American Revolution, the problem that perhaps he did not see was that we have in this country today a considerable portion of the populace and a political party and movement that has at its heart a hatred of America as founded, its people, culture and institutions and is committed to its destruction, conquest and/or subjugation. And as he stated "...it would be an insult to our intelligence to deny it."
