The last two hectic news days have successfully distracted the country from covid. On Monday, for example, Pfizer produced another eighty thousand never-seen documents, and it’s hard to even find TWITTER discussing them. Everyone wants to air their thoughts about the Supreme Court; leak or law. Even the comments on this blog have been filled with zingers twanging between our liberal readers (a feisty minority) and our conservative readers.

Guys. This is a trick. We must not fall for it, not when we’re finally getting somewhere.

We all need EACH OTHER. Some dusty old book once said, “a house divided against itself cannot stand,” and psychotic ne’er-do-wells have been busily using that advice as an instruction manual while we have been just as busy forgetting all about it.

We can win this thing if we hang together. We can’t allow our varying views on things like the Supreme Court’s draft decision to fracture the effort to rescue ourselves from some kind of final covid solution.

It is not too hard to imagine that the leak was premeditated and carefully timed, like everything else in the pandemic has been. But it’s just another red herring dressed up as some kind of surprising and alarming new development. The truth is that the draft decision, if entered, would change VERY LITTLE in most states, but the long-feared specter of the “Downfall of Roe” threatens to crack a gigantic fracture into the majority block forming to oppose heavy-handed, intrusive government.

How convenient.

To our new colleagues who fled here from the left, trying to understand what’s really going on in this out-of-control world: this particular pendulum has been swinging back for a long time, nearly fifty years. There’s almost nothing new here. The draft decision was predicted since back when the Court agreed to take the case, nearly a year now, and before that, when the Court swung majority conservative. Don’t let the lying talking heads confuse you that this is some brand-new, politically apocalyptic development that just crashed into Earth like an invisible comet or something.

Keep your eye on the ball.

I encourage my colleagues on the right to use GRACE. We are just as triggered by all the time-tested, government-crafted behavioral hotbuttons as are our friends on the left, but the opposite direction, and it is no time for triumphalism. By itself, the decision changes very little. It corrects one of the worst-reasoned legal decisions in the Court’s history. But all the real work remains to be done at the state level. And most of THAT job will be accomplished through gentle persuasion, not premature victory laps. Persuading folks be much easier if we stand together with the new group of people finally starting to see the radical left’s various unseemly obsessions.

Choose NOT to participate in this newest manufactured crisis. Keep your eyes focused on the mandates dangling over us, hanging by fishing line. They’re the real threat. And where’s that slimy weasel Fauci gotten to now, and what exactly is he up to?
