“Just Say No”

“Just Say No” was an advertising campaign prevalent during the 1980s and early 1990s as a part of the U.S. “War on Drugs”, aiming to discourage children from engaging in illegal recreational drug use by offering various ways of saying no.

Hypothetically, what if those in charge decided to “just say no?” What if governors, mayors, etc. in response to something that was against the law, decided to just say no … “I will not enforce that law.” Couldn’t happen, you say. What happened during the riots after George Floyd? Were the perpetrators of violence and mayhem brought to justice? … NO, they were not.

In the recent trial of Clinton cronies who clearly lied to the FBI, were those who were obviously guilty convicted? … NO, they were not, as the jury basically said that they did not like that law.

In Maryland there are laws that prohibit demonstrations outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices. Are these laws being enforced? … NO, they are not.

In New York New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday signed legislation into law to limit the use of concealed carry guns in “sensitive locations” such as schools and places of worship in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. As I understand it after SCOTUS basically said that  concealed carry could not be limited. Governor Kathy Hochul basically said NO, and called special legislative session to impose more restrictions on concealed carry.

Actually this is no longer hypothetical as on 7/8 “our President” went on record defying the recent decision by SCOTUS.

President Joe Biden on Friday,7/8/22, announced that he would defy the Supreme Court and state lawmakers by signing an executive order to federally “protect” and “expand access to” abortion.

Biden publicly denounced the Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of Dobbs vs. Jackson on the day of its release, but he promises to go much further in his new executive order.

My question is where does this stop? 

If “our President” can just say ‘NO’ to the Supreme Court, and mandate whatever he wants in defiance to what the Supreme Court rules, then one must ask … “Do we really need a Supreme Court at all?”

Or perhaps a more pertinent question should be … How does one spell
