The course charted by Donald Trump, to upend the Constitution and remain in power despite his election loss, has reached an inflection point. The crime-ridden Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, has asked the Supreme Court to set aside the election results in four swing states, claiming violations of the Constitution impacting Texas and other states. While Paxton may simply be courting a pardon from Trump, the Supreme Court has directed that a response be made by the four states by this Thursday afternoon. If the court does not then peremptorily toss out this frivolous lawsuit our democracy will be in dire peril.
Coupled with Mr. Trump’s installation of his acolytes at the head of the Defense Department, paving the way for employment of the military to perpetuate his power grab, we have reached a moment in history that will determine the fate of this nation.
