December 11, America’s Other Day of Infamy – When the US Supreme Court Abdicated Its Responsibilities
Guest post by Erasmus
Please know that I pen the following words in order to commemorate a date of utmost significance in our nation’s history. It is not my intent to persuade current politicians or activists to pursue a specific strategy or platform, or to outline any particular way forward in order to save this republic.

As Jewish families across the world were lighting their menorahs for Hanukkah and celebrating their rescue from the tyranny of lawlessness, the Supreme Court announced that it was siding with lawlessness and that it would not be hearing the case of the State of Texas versus the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Georgia, State of Michigan, and State of Wisconsin.
