Two legal systems, two governments, two countries?
The Trump mandate is to make America great again.
That will include making her legal system great again.
But there’s a problem: The Democrat party is committed to corrupting that legal system to block and subvert the will of the American people and their chosen government.
That has a new form: the DNC has established and financed its “Democracy Forward” program, announced in the New York Times (“Democrats Draw Up an Entirely New Anti-Trump Battle Plan”). Their fantasy appears to be a subversive “second” government.
This DNC program has hired eight hundred lawyers, with more to come, creating a “lawfare army” and taking this operation from the White House, to DNC-controlled governorships.
The same DNC administration seeks to continue its control by simply decamping from the White House, and setting up its “counter-culture” operations through key state governor administrations that it currently controls, including New York, Illinois and California.
This may create the opportunity for the new administration and Congress to write a new protective legal code that complements the larger common law system, and supports its integrity.
This could make American law great again.
