We will keep this short.
If you have seen the films of the trials of some of the leaders of the July 20, 1944 plot to kill Hitler then you know that one judge, the leading judge of what the Nazis called “the People’s Court”, a man named Roland Freisler, is shown screaming at the defendants and demeaning them in every way, in all ways.
Those defendants were convicted, imprisoned, executed in a fashion prescribed by no less than Hitler himself – being hung from meat hooks.
The judge, Freisler, one of the legal architects of the Third Reich and the Final Solution, ultimately died in an Allied bombing raid but while he lived he ran roughshod over Germany and its captives.
Trump has now nominated Emil Bove, for him a lapdog as loyal to him as Freisler was to Hitler, to the federal circuit court – clearly puttting him in line for the first Supreme Court nomination that could come along while Trump is president, which is the plan – oh it is.
Bove is in his 40s. Imagine him, imagine Roland Freisler on the Supreme Court for 40 years.
Freisler belongs to history, the most sordid German history.
Bove belongs to the United States, now, the most sordid United States there has ever been.
He is Roland Freisler.
Let’s see if there is a shred of anything remotrely resembling decency left in the Senare Republican majority.
If they confirm Bove, you will know there is not.
Any bets? Any takers?
