Here on the closing hours / night of Mothers Day 2023, John is bitterly complaining that a Princeton and Yale educated black woman, and a mother of a daughter of her own has used her Constitutional First Amendment rights to seek PEACEFUL redress of grievances, on a Sunday morning televised network news program. The head of Planned Parenthood has called for an expanded Supreme Court, a power that could come from the Congress, next term — or at least arguably, from a Presidential order.
This sort of free expression is Hinderaker’s anathema: he cannot stand anything that doesn’t break backward, draggin’ us all back, toward the 1950s, or earlier — in world-views.
But for over two years now, he has repeatedly cheered the dozens of thugs, vigilantes and rioters who took the Capitol by violence on 01.06.21, in an effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to the certified winner of the 2020 Presidential election. Many will now serve decades in prison for it, and Tangerine may also be indicted, for it — shortly.
Violent insurrection (and conspiracy to commit the same) is not protected, by our laws. Smoke that, Johnnie.
But peaceably addressing the nation, for change in our government — as Planned Parenthood plainly has… is both protected, and encouraged, in the founding documents. At least a dozen of the Federalist papers expressly champion it, as a check and balance against runaway power in the judiciary or legislative or executive branches.
So — you may safely just laugh at the bitter old coot named John Hinderaker.
He’s as impotent — as he is misguided.
