A Crack Formed: Rams Butting Heads But The Law Should Be Decided by Judges and Juries

Human Herd and Rationality Behaviors

Someone might be able to set forward a January 6th Coup Case with evidence but these things should be decided by a judge and jury within the Judicial Branch. Some are arguing that a coup was attempted and some are arguing that it was nothing but "politics as usual". What I can say is that it looks like there are lots of issues stemming from a strong personalities and those who follow those personalities.

I say our nation is important and it was created for us We the People and not for our politicians alone. We have a system that existed because it has three legs and those legs must function properly to succeed.  The Judicial System was designed to handle conflict and disputes and should be allowed to do that.

At this point if our legislative branch is in chaos and unable to take their national responsibilities seriously (i.e. being ideologically so bent on Republican and Democrat that rational thought is no longer possible or expected by most of them.) then we must rely on the Judicial Branch and hope they can stand for something greater. Law enforcement ultimately relies on their authority and they owe responsibility to following the outcomes of any decisions regardless of their personal politics.  

I'm not going to pick a side at the moment but I always stand with the people and their needs. I'm not an elitist and I'm not part of the "connected" class but through sweat and tears made my own opinions. That means I'm completely disposable and their is a power in not giving a poo poo what either side thinks (Our country is too important for this constant conflict! There are incentives to prosecute and incentives to avoid prosecution so its a dangerous situation but the truth will now need to be ferreted out. Good job putting us all at risk! That doesn't apply to everyone but certainly to the trouble makers and their followers. Some are actually trying to do the right thing. We must only look to our left and to our right at those in our parties and then ignore them. Dig deep into your own values and determine what you really believe. Its your conscious and no party, person, or politic can own your soul---at least shouldn't be able to...its called confidence and independence of thought and that is the stuff of leadership. Wheat from Chaff)

It is important to remember that the loudest voices in the room don't represent Conservatism or Liberals. These are philosophies that have lasted a long time and supersede the current rhetoric. The best thing I can do is step back and be divergent. Take a "birds eye" view of the situation and provide any guidance anyone is willing to listen; I have a Muslim sounding name so probably not many.

No doubt that there is a lot of smoke around all types of behaviors and as in all social groups people sort of follow the herd without keeping their eye on the prize (In case your confused its democracy and the philosophy of self governance that dates back pre ancient Greece.). Whether innocent or guilty we should respect the judicial system to enforce an interpretation of law (That does not mean there isn't room for improvement). 

I encourage my Republican and Democrat friends to step back, think about the fate of Democracy, where our national strengths lay, and let the Judicial system determine guilt, innocence or something more. Let us not muddy our values through spit ball fights, insults, food throwing or much much worse! While rams might butt heads it is the herd that must survive. 😬

A word to caution. We should always be skeptical if people are trying to force their opinions on others without critical thought or ability to understand the "facts". Its not a Democrat or Republican argument...its a human nature argument. Its called an ulterior motive and we don't want anyone leading us that uses power over versus power with (We won't survive but a decade or so in a pure power over situation).

While I'm a light right "old guard" Republican I have enough respect for our judicial system, the process of evidence discovery (as based in scientific method), and jury selection to say, "I trust they will make the right decisions". Not always but its the best we have. At this moment in history I do not trust either party to see things clearly....unless you are a centralist (i.e. meaning a critical thinker.)

Anyone not leaving it to the Judicial system has already sold out our institutions and exploiting others to get their way (Throwing out there rhetoric to influence and anger the masses.). It would be nice if they all just zipped their lips and let the court take its course (Of course they won't because they have the answers without asking the right questions. Steak, potatoes and cake!). History will correct this but whether it does this/next year or in 20 years remains to be seen. In hindsight we might be happy people used a rational approach.
