Yes. This is the question I have for each American today. Are you smarter than Judge Merchan?
First off, I believe most Americans are. Let me tell you about a friend I worked with a few years ago. When he was born, the doctors diagnosed him with Cerebral Palsy. His parents were told he would live his life in bed and he would be a drain on the family psychologically as well as physically.
Yet today, he’s in his 20s. He has, on a regular basis, performed 6 hour workouts. He has performed 700 chin-ups within an hour. He can do hundreds of push-ups when he desires.
Additionally, he catches virtually all of my sarcastic, cynical humor. Now, from time-to-time, he gives me a questioning look, trying to figure out my ADD thoughts mixed with sarcasm (which typically create a long, deep belly laugh), but within a few seconds, he’s busting a gut as he gets exactly what I was conveying.
Many friends do not. Some see me as mean as they do not connect the multiple points I draw together to make my point.
I’m saying all this because he demonstrates he is smarter than the honorable Juan Merchan on a regular basis.
Why do I say this?
If I was stopped by the police (before May 30) and received a citation for something I believed myself to be innocent, I would have taken it up with the magistrate or judge. If the charge was for a major infraction of the law, I’m sure I would have a lawyer representing my interest.
After May 30, I cannot trust the police. I cannot trust the courts to allow my defense to be presented. I cannot trust the judge to direct a jury to apply the law.
In short, Judge Merchan has broken the judicial system in the USA. A smart governor would call for disbarment thus thwarting the trajectory toward destruction Merchan has set our legal system on. What will be the result? Merchan-like courtrooms throughout the United States.
Paul sang
“Flew in from Miami Beach, B.O.A.C
Didn’t get to bed last night
On the way, the paper bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.”
Unfortunately, this time around, ‘Back in the USSR’ is not a parody. Today, it’s reality.
