Like many, I watched last week’s State of the Union (SOTU) address. I have had the opportunity to observe 14 administrations. Until recently, the SOTU address was for all Americans. Previous Presidents, by their words and actions, recognized they served every citizen. President Trump addresses maintained that standard. Biden’s speech however was chillingly partisan. We talk about a divided country but how did it happen? Attorney General Janet Reno voiced concerns about Christians and patriots, those people with anti-abortion and 2nd Amendment bumper stickers, then came Waco and Ruby Ridge. Later came Hillary’s infamous “Deplorables” speech. Now an angry President denounces MAGA’s, the 74 million people who voted for Trump, as anti-American and a threat to Democracy. Biden also threatened and attacked our Supreme Court.

Our government is carefully limited in power by three separate and equal branches of government as defined by the Constitution. The Supreme Court is charged with ensuring the government’s adherence to the documents. Presently Biden is ignoring our country’s laws and “ruling with his pen”. Congress is adrift, distracted, disengaged and complacent. The Justice Department is waging “lawfare” on the administration’s “enemies”. At this point in our history, the Supreme Court is standing alone against tyranny. The left complains that Trump appointed “conservative” judges but that is exactly what our Founding Fathers wanted. If we are to remain free, the Constitution and rule of law must be respected. Anything less and “We the People” have surrendered our freedom.
