REJECTED SUPREME COURT NOMINEES

For assorted reasons the Supreme Court is being much discussed in recent months. Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the various Supreme Court nominees who were REJECTED by the Senate. I’m omitting John Rutledge since – because he was a recess appointment – he actually served as Chief Justice for one of the Court’s terms before the official Senate vote rejecting his nomination by President Washington.

Alexander WolcottALEXANDER WOLCOTT

Gang Affiliation: Democratic-Republican Party

Senate Vote: On February 13th, 1811, the Senate rejected Wolcott’s nomination by President James Madison by a vote of 24 nays and 9 yeas.

Ostensible Reasons For The Rejection: The Federalist Party Senators and the Federalist Party media outlets clobbered Wolcott over his enforcement of the controversial Embargo and Non-Intercourse Acts while serving as Customs Inspector in Connecticut.

              Second – and most importantly – his limited legal experience was cited as a definite hindrance to serving on the highest court in the land. (Ya think?)  

John C SpencerJOHN C SPENCER

Gang Affiliation: Whig Party

Senate Vote: On January 31st, 1844, the Senate rejected Spencer’s nomination by President John Tyler by a tight vote of 26 nays and 21 yeas.

Ostensible Reasons For the Rejection: Spencer had accepted the position of Secretary of War and later Secretary of the Treasury under President Tyler, alienating fellow Whigs who saw him as a traitor for not showing solidarity with them against Tyler. This rejection was part of a virtual war between the Executive and Legislative Branches following John Tyler’s succession to the presidency following the death in office of Whig President William Henry Harrison.

BIG TECH FASCISTS AND DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS FEEL IT’S SAFE NOW TO ALLOW STORIES ON BIDEN FAMILY CORRUPTION

Biden countiesWith Big Tech Fascists or Techno Fascists now forbidding discussion of the mountainous evidence of vote fraud in the 2020 election let’s recall that right before the election they banned as “misinformation” all the accounts of Hunter Biden/ Biden Crime Family corruption. With the election over, even CNN and other Democrat media outlets are now reporting on the Biden scandals since they obviously feel it is safe to do so at this late date.

Similarly, if the Supreme Court allows the forever-tainted 2020 presidential election to be stolen, apparently THEN the Democrats of Big Tech and their media outlets will consider it okay for the peasants to discuss the vote fraud stories that they are currently banning as “misinformation.” Just like with the Hunter Biden scandals which are now no longer labeled “misinformation” since the Democrats’ purposes have been served.

Jack Dorsey and his ilk are fascist garbage and have exceeded even the worst 1800s Robber Barons with their conduct.

UPDATE: SEVENTEEN STATES HAVE JOINED TEXAS’ LAWSUIT: SUPREME COURT HAS PUT THE CASE ON THE DOCKET

legal votes cartoonFirst off, Democrats continue to be incapable of understanding Supreme Court actions – the SCOTUS denied the INJUNCTION in the Pennsylvania case BUT THE CASE ITSELF IS PROCEEDING, SO IGNORE DEMOCRAT CLAIMS THAT IT’S OVER.

And in another case – the Texas lawsuit regarding the unconstitutional way Democrat vote fraud affected election outcomes – that case has been put on the Supreme Court docket AND as of this writing EIGHT STATES HAVE JOINED TEXAS IN THE SUIT (links below) – Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina and South Dakota. (UPDATE: THANK YOU TO MARK1 – IT IS NOW EIGHT STATES PLUS TEXAS – I left out Louisiana.) Hopefully even more will show some courage and join the suit so we can RESIST the Democrat vote fraud.

UPDATE: NOW UP TO SEVENTEEN STATES HAVE JOINED WITH AMICUS BRIEFS: The states joining the amicus brief include Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich also announced that his state was asking the Supreme Court to allow Arizona to file a brief, calling the issue of election integrity important and asking the court to decide the case quickly.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE MOUNDS OF EVIDENCE REGARDING VOTE FRAUD

STOP THE STEAL SITE.      PROTECT THE  VOTE SITE.   JOE CHEATED SITE

Trump is like jfk

One by assassination, the other by vote fraud?

De facto Third Party President Donald Trump addressed the nation about the massive evidence of vote fraud here in 2020. He also outlined the only fair way of proceeding in a case like this, but like John F Kennedy before him, Trump is battling the notoriously corrupt political “gangsters” in both of America’s major political parties. Will he prevail or will his enemies make him a JFK-sized martyr?

The speech is in the video below, but for some updates on the assorted ongoing legal battles click HERE

DEMOCRATS AT LAST BARRED FROM DESTROYING VOTE FRAUD EVIDENCE IN GEORGIA

STOP THE STEAL SITE.      PROTECT THE  VOTE SITE.   JOE CHEATED SITE

Trump is Serpico### SEE THREE UPDATES BELOW ###     

As the chaotic fallout from the forever-tainted 2020 election continues, a series of contradictory court orders in Georgia at first accommodated Democrat desires to wipe clean computer evidence of their vote fraud, then blocked it, then accommodated it again, then blocked it again. Hilarious! I don’t ever again want anyone to try telling me that America’s political corruption isn’t beyond doubt. Below are links to the ongoing Georgia storyline and others:

UPDATE: Michigan’s Antrim County has been proven to be won by President Trump after correcting a computer “mistake” which gave thousands of his votes to Biden. HOW AMAZING THAT ALL THESE “TECHNICAL GLITCHES” THAT HAVE BEEN EXPOSED FAVORED BIDEN. Those votes, like thousands of others, have now been credited to Trump. The effort to stop Biden from stealing the election continues.

#### UPDATE: TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED THE ACCOUNT OF AZ VOTE FRAUD WITNESS BOBBY PITON TO TRY TO MUZZLE HIS TESTIMONY. JACK DORSEY AND HIS ILK CONTINUE TO BE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. 

UPDATE: Arizona rep issues call to withhold the state’s Electoral Votes from Biden

TRUMP MARCH BUS TOUR FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY STARTS NOVEMBER 29th

vote fraud in 2020

*** See NEW item below   Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog notes the upcoming Trump March Bus Tour for Election Integrity. Things get rolling in Florida this Sunday November 29th and will wrap up in Washington DC.

trump vs goliathWhile de facto Third Party President Trump’s legal challenges continue to play out, it’s a great way to highlight the clear vote fraud in the forever-tainted 2020 election.

Many people want to just hide their heads in the sand like ostriches, acting like Montag’s Wife by mindlessly consuming only the media outlets pushing the narrative permitted by Big Tech fascists like Jack Dorsey. Sharyl Attkisson has a great story about these cowardly people HERE

(And how disgusting are some of the latest labels that Twitter, Facebook and their ilk inflict on items they don’t like: “Accurate but misleading.” … “Accurate but lacking in context.” Always imposed on just ONE side of the issues, too – the anti-establishment side.)

##### AND REMEMBER, AL GORE DID NOT CONCEDE UNTIL DECEMBER 13th, 2000. WE ARE STILL NOT AT THAT DATE YET. #####

For some of the latest stories regarding the mounting – and already overwhelming – evidence of vote fraud see the many links below:

*** NEW: There was a Trump team win AND a Trump team loss in PA in a separate case. The Democrats’ media outlets only reported the loss. The win – a judge blocking certification of the vote pending further hearings. Again, a separate case from the one linked below.

MORE TRUMP COURT WINS AS ELECTION DRAMA PLAYS ON

Stop the Steal signDe facto Third Party President Donald Trump, the hero of the working class and the poor against America’s corrupt political system, just picked up a few more First Downs on his desperation drive down the field with time running out in the 4th Quarter. A Judge has blocked final certification of Pennsylvania’s results pending a further hearing on Friday. (link below) 

In Nevada a similar judicial action handed Trump another chance to present evidence regarding the already infamous levels of vote fraud in the tainted 2020 election. (link below) PLUS, in New York’s 22nd Congressional District, final results of that House race are on hold as well, over fraud-friendly “mail-in” ballots being filled out in the name of dead people. (link below) This country’s already well-known political corruption is being exposed even more with each passing day.

UPDATE: Privileged white male one-percenter and Techno Fascist Jack Dorsey’s Twitter has banned the account of Doug Mastriano, the Pennsylvania State Senator who organized the Gettysburg Election Integrity Hearing. Dorsey and his ilk were elected by nobody but they are appointing themselves judges of what the rest of us are allowed to discuss and hear about. They are garbage. Absolute garbage. Continue reading

TRUMP: A POLITICAL JANUS LIKE THEODORE ROOSEVELT

puck joseph keppler

Here at Balladeer’s Blog I’ve long made clear my fascination with the political humor magazine Puck (1871-1918). Puck political cartoons – especially from the covers – are still much sought-after and I own a few myself.

The magazine started out as a German language publication targeted at new arrivals from Europe and the cartoons stood out early on. There is no language barrier to satirical political cartoons, so even Americans who spoke no German could follow the editorial drift of those humorous illustrations. In 1877 Puck began publishing both English AND German language editions.

Here’s a cartoon from its pro-Theodore Roosevelt heyday depicting the wildly different opinions of the bombastic, “rock the boat of political corruption” Teddy Roosevelt. President Trump is a lot like T.R. and his cousin F.D.R. – hated by corrupt career politicians but loved by the working class and the poor. Like Trump, Theodore Roosevelt was at odds with the loathsome Republican Party establishment – think of vermin like Mitt Romney and the Bush Family.   

theodore roosevelt like donald trump

Finally the paper shortage during World War One brought about the end of this iconoclastic magazine.
