If the supreme court’s six rightwing justices allow Trump to stay on the ballot, they can do so only by turning their backs on the methods of constitutional interpretation that they have repeatedly trumpeted: textualism and originalism. Not only is the text of Section 3 crystal clear about barring insurrectionists, but the Radical Republicans who wrote the 14th amendment would have been repulsed by the idea of letting an insurrectionist like Trump run for the highest office of the land.

From Omertà to Obstruction: The Troubling Parallels between Mafia Codes and Political Non-Cooperation of Republicans like Peter Navarro
In the annals of organized crime, the term "Omertà" stands out as a stark reminder of the lengths to which members will go to protect their own. This code of silence, a bastion of criminal organizations like the mafia, has historically insulated them from the reach of justice. Breaches of this code invite draconian consequences, ensuring airtight allegiance among members.
However, recent events in American politics suggest an alarming parallel. The refusal by several political figures to cooperate with investigations, especially those probing the events of January 6th, 2021, echoes the principles of Omertà in a setting far removed from the criminal underworld.
The conviction of Mr. Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser to President Donald Trump, serves as a stark reminder of this disturbing trend. Found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol attack, Navarro's legal defenses crumbled in court. He had previously argued that he did not have to comply with the subpoena since Trump had invoked executive privilege. However, as U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta noted, no evidence was presented indicating Trump's formal invocation of this privilege in response to the subpoena.
While Navarro's conviction is a significant milestone, it does not stand in isolation. Steve Bannon, another associate of Trump, faced a similar fate last year when he was convicted for contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena. Both convictions underscore a larger problem: the weaponization of executive privilege and other legal instruments to evade scrutiny.
These unwarranted assertions of privilege, reminiscent of the Omertà code, threaten to erode the pillars of accountability and transparency foundational to American democracy. Navarro's recent conviction is a testament to the resilience of the justice system, but it also underscores the lengths to which some officials might go to shield themselves from scrutiny. Navarro had previously stated that he was protecting the presidency by refusing to share information with Congress, a claim that paints a troubling picture of loyalty overshadowing duty.
The use, or rather misuse, of privilege to evade legal obligations is not just a legal anomaly; it is symptomatic of a deeper malaise. This trend, where personal and partisan loyalties overshadow constitutional duties and the broader public interest, is eerily reminiscent of the Omertà code that keeps criminals in line.
The recent convictions serve as a beacon of hope, emphasizing the principle that no one, regardless of stature or office, is above the law. However, the struggle is far from over. The sanctity of executive privilege and other legal defenses must be preserved, but their misuse cannot be tolerated.
As the saga surrounding Navarro's conviction unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing American democracy. The fight against corruption, whether in the criminal underworld or the corridors of power, demands unyielding vigilance. In this battle, there can be no room for codes of silence, be they the Omertà of the mafia or the distorted invocations of privilege by those in positions of power.

BOOM ! WASHINGTON "The Justice Department has issued about 40 subpoenas over the past week seeking information about the actions of former President Donald J. Trump and his associates related to the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to people familiar with the situation.Two top Trump advisers, Boris Epshteyn and Mike Roman, had their phones seized as evidence, those people said.The department’s actions represent a substantial escalation of a slow-simmer investigation two months before the midterm elections, coinciding with a separate inquiry into Mr. Trump’s hoarding of sensitive documents at his residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. Among those the department has contacted since Wednesday are people who are close to the former president and have played significant roles in his post-White House life.Those receiving the subpoenas included Dan Scavino, Mr. Trump’s former social media director who rose from working at a Trump-owned golf course to one of his most loyal aides and has remained an adviser since Mr. Trump left office. Stanley Woodward, one of Mr. Scavino’s lawyers, declined to comment."

They Marched On
Hup, two, three, four, Hup, two three, four… The army had been on the move forever and marched to the sound of the drums. They had lost a legion of followers, but the main fight was coming, and they were ready. They would take no prisoners in this final battle. The drums beat, and they marched on. The cadence was locked in their heads. It was relentless and never ending. They didn’t sleep, they…

Did this not happen? Do I live in some sort of alternate reality where Donald Trump said march to the Capital “peacefully”? Did anyone else hear it? Or just me?

One man crime spree and pathetic excuse for a human being has a spasm over Pennsylvania and automatic voter registration.  Welcome to the 21st Century Mr. Trump.  Claiming Pennsylvania will now have rigged elections is an insult to every good citizen of the Commonwealth.  You need to STFU about Pennsylvania and our voting integrity and stop accusing us of committing felony voter fraud.  Felonies are your specialty not ours.  Go back to Fascist Florida to your tacky club Mara Lard-Ass and wait for sea level rise.
