Is Biden ‘Keyser Söze-ing’ The Constitution On His Way Out?
Manage episode 429901871 series 1984948
There is a scene in the movie The Usual Suspects, where Roger “Verbal” Kint (Kevin Spacey) describes how the illusive crime lord Keyser Söze lays waste to everything he holds dear simply to demonstrate that he was a “man of will.” One has to wonder if we aren’t seeing a Keyser Söze moment from the Obama 2.0 team as they begin to realize their ideological coup against our Constitutional Republic is exposed and about to fail.
In the movie, Kint is detained by the police, offered immunity and (it appears) cooperating. He tells the legend of Söze and how he became so dedicated to ruthlessness and destruction.
According to Wikipedia – and, frankly, this type of information is usually all Wikipedia is good for, given the Marxist “editors” who rule that platform with a totalitarian fist:
“Söze began his criminal career as a small-time drug dealer. Horrifically though, one afternoon, while Söze is away from home, rival Hungarian gangsters attempt to intimidate him by taking his family hostage and raping his wife, then when he returns home, slitting the throat of one of his children right before his eyes. Determined to show these men of will, what will really was, Söze shoots and kills his own family and all but one of the Hungarians, letting the last leave so he can tell his cohorts what happened. Once his family is buried, Söze massacres the Hungarian Mafia, their families, their friends, and even people who owe them money. He goes underground, never again doing business in person, operating instead through oblivious underlings.
“Söze's ruthlessness is legendary…Over the years, his criminal empire flourishes, as does his legend. Remarking on Söze's mythical nature, Kint says, ‘The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.’”
In the last scene before going underground, Söze is seen torching a building as he walks out through the fire; portraying the character as willing to destroy everything should anything be taken away from him.
I bring up the Keyser Söze character in relation to Joe Biden, not because Biden is anywhere near the ballpark of being as cunning as Söze, but because he and his Obama 2.0 puppetmasters are so selfish, so dedicated to the fundamental transformation of our Constitutional Republic to a European Union-style, central government-run socialist democracy, that they are willing to burn it all down to achieve their goal.
We have witnessed it non-stop throughout the Biden administration (which the honest among us recognize as Obama’s third term). From open borders to the expansion of Executive Branch power to balkanizing our society by race, gender, and economics to destroying the worth of the US dollar, everything the Obamaites of the Biden administration have instituted in the three-plus years of their rein has been destructive to our Republic.
Now, as some on Obama 2.0’s sinking ship are starting to see the writing on the wall, they are seeking to execute one of the most destructive maneuvers of their tenure: destroying the Separation of Powers in their targeting of the Judiciary Branch.
As CBS News reported on July 16th, 2024:
“President Biden is considering a series of proposals to reform the Supreme Court, including measures to establish term limits for justices and an enforceable ethics code...
“The president revealed in a call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Saturday that he's been working with experts on proposals to reform the nation's highest court to be announced soon…”
This isn’t the first time the Marxists of the Biden-Obama 2.0 cabal have suggested unconstitutional changes to the US Supreme Court – a threat first used during FDR’s time but never tested. In 2021, Biden created a commission to “study proposals” to inflict its will on the High Court, which was “approved and submitted.” The commission’s report didn’t recommend structural changes to the SCOTUS but endorsed the adoption of a “code of ethics” for the Court’s justices and championed 12- and 18-year terms for members of the High Court.
To borrow a phrase from Biden, “Here’s the deal.” The Executive Branch (Biden) and Legislative Branch (Congress) have no authority to place any measures on the Judicial Branch (the US Supreme Court). Each is an independent, co-equal branch of government that provides checks and balances to one another. This is the very essence of the Separation of Powers, and the Separation of Powers is enshrined in the US Constitution by virtue of its three separate authority-creating Articles.
The Separation of Powers in the United States Constitution refers to the division of the federal government's powers among three distinct branches. This system was designed to prevent any single branch from becoming too powerful and to ensure that each branch would be held accountable by the others. The Founding Fathers believed that this system would protect individual liberties and prevent the government from becoming oppressive.
According to Constitution Annotated: Analysis & Interpretation of the US Constitution, offered up by no less than the US Congress (read: Legislative Branch):
“A well-known concept derived from the text and structure of the Constitution is the doctrine of what is commonly called Separation of Powers. The Framers’ experience with the British monarchy informed their belief that concentrating distinct governmental powers in a single entity would subject the nation’s people to arbitrary and oppressive government action. Thus, in order to preserve individual liberty, the Framers sought to ensure that a separate and independent branch of the Federal Government would exercise each of government’s three basic functions: legislative, executive, and judicial. While the text of the Constitution does not expressly refer to the doctrine of Separation of Powers, the Nation’s Founding document divides governmental power among three branches by vesting the Legislative Power of the Federal Government in Congress; the Executive Power in the President; and the Judicial Power in the Supreme Court and any lower courts created by Congress.
“Although the Framers of the Constitution allocated each of these core functions to a distinct branch of government, the design of the Constitution contemplates some overlap in the branches’ performance of government functions. In particular, the Framers favored an approach that seeks to maintain some independence for each branch while promoting a workable government through the interdependence and sharing of power among the branches. Moreover, to address concerns that one branch would aggrandize its power by attempting to exercise powers assigned to another branch, the Framers incorporated various checks that each branch could exercise against the actions of the other two branches to resist such encroachments. For example, the President has the power to veto legislation passed by Congress, but Congress may overrule such vetoes by a supermajority vote of both houses. And Congress has the power to impeach and remove the President, Vice President, and civil officers of the United States [including Supreme Court Justices in times of bad behavior]…
“In addition to the first three Articles, other provisions of the Constitution implicate the separation-of-powers doctrine. For example, the Supreme Court in Marbury v. Madison interpreted Article VI’s establishment of the Constitution as being superior to other federal law to forbid Congress from exercising its legislative power in a manner inconsistent with the Nation’s Founding document by enlarging the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court beyond the boundaries established in Article III…”
Yet today, the Biden administration is still attempting to encroach the Executive Branch onto the Judicial Branch with the help of the Legislative Branch.
So, as you can see, Mr. Biden’s “commission” and his renewed desire to establish “term limits for justices” and “an enforceable ethics code” is nothing more than politicized rhetoric opportunistically thrown into the public square – and a public square that is increasingly constitutionally illiterate. The Biden-Obama 2.0 cabal’s only reason for floating this wholly unconstitutional notion is to salvage any vestige of cohesive support among a fractured Democrat base prior to the August Democrat National Convention in Chicago.
In the end, when a “transformative movement” – much like what the Obama administration was and what Obama 2.0 is – abandons the idea of a true Republican form of government and, instead, embraces a politburo style of government (rule by selected committee instead of elected representatives) one can clearly see why it’s not just the leadership that must be defeated in elections. The entire cadre of operatives, appointments, staffers, and elected officials from that movement must be purged from government like a cancer must be eradicated from a diseased body.
It’s not just Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who must be voted out of office in November. It’s not just electeds like Schumer, Durbin, Jefferies, AOC and the remainder of The Squad, Sanders, Raskin, and the rest of their ilk that need to go. It’s the entirety of the apparatus, from staffers to appointees, who need to be cleaved from government. Then, the lobbyist substratum must be targeted.
That’s how you start dismantling the bureaucracy. That’s the only way to end the Deep State.
