I interrupt my blog silence due only to the looming crisis sparked by the Department of Justice’s August 5 decision to obtain a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of ex-President Donald J. Trump. After some hours of research on the Internet, I have found what I believe is the most likely explanation for
South Carolina Supreme Court Divides the Baby
The unanimous decision announced on April 20, 2022 by the South Carolina Supreme Court fulfilled (by its unanimity) at least one of the predictions made in the previous post on this blog after the oral arguments last December. Unanimity, however, in this instance served not to resolve thorny issues of South Carolina law, but rather…
Where Will the Supreme Court of South Carolina Go From Here?
This morning, your Curmudgeon arose very early (5:30 a.m. PST) to be able to watch the oral argument in the South Carolina Episcopal Church case as it was streamed live from the courtroom of the South Carolina Supreme Court. The argument was both fascinating and confusing, and it will not be an easy task…
The Most Cockamamie View of COVID Yet
I interrupt my blog silence (waiting for the outcome of the South Carolina Supreme Court hearing next week) to bring you this report, from a reliable source, of the most cockamamie view I have yet to see anywhere in the world of the perils faced by the Obstinate Unvaccinated. After you absorb what appears…
Turnings (III)
This will be close to my last post as the “Anglican Curmudgeon”. While I maintain my curmudgeonly skepticism toward today’s idols (religious and otherwise), I can no longer claim the moniker “Anglican”. I do not presume to speak for others, but only for myself. And the objective truth is that I am no longer…
Dennis Canon Dead in Texas
With its denial of certiorari (review) this morning to two of the Episcopal Church in the USA’s (“ECUSA’s”) groups in Fort Worth, Texas, the United States Supreme Court has put to rest the multiple adverse claims made for the last twelve years against the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. All of those various claims,…
What You Aren't Hearing about Election Fraud [UPDATED: Now They Are Openly Bragging]
What would you say is the prevailing opinion in the media about fraud in the 2020 presidential election? Is it that many lawsuits were brought, in all the disputed States, and none showed any evidence of fraud?Or is it that while fraud may have occurred, it was on a local and very small scale?Or…
A Review of the Precedents for "Impeachment" Ex Post Facto
The sycophant media have rushed to report that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has at last sent her single, desultory “Article of Impeachment” to the Senate for a trial.Sic transit gloria mundi — or, more specifically, “how low can the sun sink after already having sunk on the American republic?”The deluded and foolhardy majority…
Sense and Nonsense about Impeachment [UPDATED]
The Internet is all a-burbling with talk of impeachment. Much of what I have read is ill-informed, or indeed uninformed, nonsense. Your Curmudgeon approaches the subject as one trained in constitutional law, who learned the subject from the likes of Paul A. Freund and Archibald Cox. That was more than fifty years ago, and since…
