Predictability

The fastest way to get someone to stop moving is to make them uncertain about their next step.

We like a predictable environment. Generally speaking, women don't like a man who lacks predictable income. Men don't like women whose mood and attitude change by the moment. Children don't function well in chaotic homes. Markets don't like the unknown.

When we elect someone to office, the more concrete and heartfelt their principles, the more we can predict how they will vote. You don't have to babysit a politician who will surely act a certain way. (You may not like how they will act, but you don't feel the need to waste your time trying to get them to change what absolutely won't change.)

The Left is unafraid to use violence in every aspect of life to insert uncertainty into the Right's momentum. Our respect for life, liberty, and property prevent us from doing that. It would never occur to us to firebomb a car or doxx private individuals who object to our politics.

The Left doesn't have the executive branch or the legislative branch, but boy can it leverage the judicial branch. And it is. To put uncertainty into the steps of our President and his agenda for which we voted.

Sun Tzu said, "Know the enemy and know yourself, in a hundred battles you will never be in peril." They will threaten everything and stop at nothing. If those on our side don't acknowledge that, then we will indeed be in peril. And we are.

Congress has a few tools they might use. They threaten impeachment, but that will fail because the Senate requires two-thirds to convict. No Democrat will vote for conviction of their judges. They could use Article III of the constitution to limit the jurisdiction of the inferior and supreme courts. Gov. Ron DeSantis talked about this earlier today.

President Trump could ignore the courts - and to a degree is. But where is the Republican Party? Outside of DeSantis, where are the governors in acting to stop this chaos in their own states?

Uncertainty is sand in the gears of the future. It sows doubt into our hopes and dreams.

This is a time for those in Congress to assert a sure-footed strength to secure our freedom. Inaction tells us all we need to know about their political future.

Slippery slope. To my mind one of the best things about our government is checks and balances. (It’s why I’m not in favor of Executive Orders). But something must be done about rogue judges.

Mark, you live on a slippery created by the Left until you put a stop to it. If you don't check it, you will have no balance.

The weaponization of the Judiciary appears to be the left’s new tactic to interrupt Trump’s agenda. Agree, how can it be that Congressional Republicans didn’t see that coming and prepare? The handwriting was on the wall this is how they’ve tried to take Trump down the last four years.
We have many leak links in the Republican Party. Actually, I waiver between regarding them as weak links or just simply chameleon republicans.
We need a few really strong LEADERS at all levels of government who have the ability and willingness to work within the team frame and rally the troops. They are few and far between but there are a few shining stars who we really need to help advance.

We who are "warrior" minded see this in a different light. Drawing from my military training, see the problem, stop the problem. It's that simple.
Judges have taken this personally, it seems. It's as if they're not going to check the Constitution or laws to see if they are correct. It just seems to make them mad that Trump wants what's best for America.
The ignorance of the latest move from the judge who ordered the return of gang members to the U.S. while in flight reveals the brokenness of our system of checks and balances. We all believe in not having a run away President or Congress to take our freedoms but my goodness, its very apparent the end results have to be for the good of our country. Period!
