Judges are saying Michigan secretary of state is a threat to democracy

For many voters, “protecting democracy” is a key issue in the 2024 elections, and, of course, rhetoric and accusations are flying regarding who the actual threat to democracy is. In light of at times misleading rhetoric, it is important to examine actual facts. There is one public official nationally who has been criticized by no fewer than three U.S. Court of Appeals judges in the past month for her actions subverting democracy: Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

Benson has had two separate complaints filed against her with the Michigan Bar in recent weeks, one from former Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson focused on Benson’s dishonest court pleadings, and another from Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra regarding Benson’s large campaign contribution to Michigan Supreme Court Justice Kyra Bolden while Bolden was considering a case against Benson at her court. The Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission is reviewing those complaints, and Benson’s defenders will no doubt rationalize them by arguing they were filed by Benson’s partisan opponents.


Getting past the partisan back-and-forth is why it was so significant when a senior judge from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, David McKeague, concluded in his judicial opinion that “in defiance of the U.S. Constitution and state election law, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson manipulated the presidential ballot in Michigan.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

She's a democrat!  Why would you not expect her not to be a threat to democracy? :shrug:

Ms. benson is what's known in The Party as a dedicated apparatchik. She takes orders and does as she's told.

The Turtle has done more for the Democommies than Schumer from New York.  Why his state keeps returning his RINO *ss is a mystery to me.

Democommies are the greatest threat to the republic.  We are a republic, or we were, and they never mention our nation being a republic.  EVER!

Russia considers themselves a democracy, and we are creeping with every passing year to operate like Russia.  I have traveled there a number of times prior to the war, and the parallels between Russia and the USA are startling to me!  And from the time I first went there, we have become more like them.  Hard to believe, but true.

Not hard to believe at all. Communism (Marxist ideology) has never flourished like it has since Communism was declared dead.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
