The suit filed by the state of Texas before the Supreme Court of the United States is emerging as the decisive legal battleground over the 2020 election fraud, and all of its implications for the future of the U.S. and the world. Both sides are piling on: a total of 18 states have filed amici in support of Texas, and today six of those states also filed a motion to intervene, indicating additional strong support for Texas’s initiative. Also today, 106 Republican Congressmen signed onto a brief to file a motion of amicus curiae with Texas. On the other side, 22 other states plus the District of Columbia today filed a brief backing the four states named by the Texas suit.
Beyond the legal arguments per se riding on the Texas case, which has both standing and merit, President Donald Trump’s own amicus brief filed yesterday pointed to the life-and-death political issue at stake: “Our Country is deeply divided in ways that it arguably has not been seen since the election of 1860. There is a high level of distrust between the opposing sides,” which cries out for Supreme Court intervention.
Already YouTube has moved preemptively to try to usurp the Supreme Court’s Constitutional powers, by announcing that it will now delete any content that dares to assert that “widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.” Why? Because “enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect,” the company stated arrogantly.
And what of the Supreme Court?
Likewise the Lawyers Defending American Democracy (LDAD), which issued an open letter over the signatures of 1,500 current and former attorneys, judges, local and state American Bar Association presidents, U.S. attorneys and law school professors, calling for Trump’s attorneys to be sanctioned and subjected to disciplinary action for daring to allege vote fraud – a blatant attempt to terrorize lawyers and threaten any judges, including the Supreme Court, who would rule based on the merits of the case.
And what of due process?
This increasingly shrill, Jacobin environment is heightened by the outrageous anti-Chinese diatribes of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is engaging in what can only be described as “yellow peril McCarthyism.” Anyone who proposes to work with China, including in academia, is denounced as “un-American.”
Significant segments of the Trump base have been suckered into this suicidal anti-China posture, despite the fact that the very same enemies who are out to steal the U.S. Presidency, are also behind the efforts to topple China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Indeed, EIR’s 2019 policy pamphlet, “End the McCarthyite Witch Hunt Against China and President Trump,” is proving fully accurate.
This is a perfect example of the kind of issues that can only be solved by Nicholas Cusa’s method of the Coincidence of Opposites, by thinking like Beethoven and LaRouche – which will be the central theme of this weekend’s Schiller Institute conference. As Helga Zepp-LaRouche has repeatedly stated, under conditions of systemic breakdown crisis, like today, no single crisis can be solved, unless you solve all crises.
