Good day all. I didn\u2019t know about this moonbat and her column until Elon Musk started ripping her a massive new one. (More on that later) The author is Jennifer Szalai who is a book critic for the Slimes. She\u2019s also Canadian.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Reading the column<\/a>, it\u2019s obvious that she has no idea about much of anything. The target of her ire is, not surprisingly, President Trump. She is whining that President Trump won the election from the Progressives Saint Felonia von Pantsuit, aka Hillary Clinton in 2016 because he won the Electoral College.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She then goes on to the usual Progressive horse manure about the Tainted Election and how President Trump is a dire threat to the Constitution. (Which he isn\u2019t and she doesn\u2019t support anyway) Basically she blames the Constitution for allowing someone who is not one of \u201cHer People,\u201d meaning a Progressive Liberal Totalitarian Socialist, to become president.<\/p>\n

\"Barking<\/a><\/p>\n

This caught the attention of Elon Musk and he went after this Canadian loser. He was also joined by others on TwitterX slamming this barking mad moonbat. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Billionaire Elon Musk slammed a New York Times<\/a> writer that wrote an article which claimed the U.S. Constitution can be considered one of the “biggest threats” to the country. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Times’ book critic Jennifer Szalai claimed that “The United States Constitution is in trouble” due to the fact that former President Trump was able to become president through the Electoral College.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“Americans have long assumed that the Constitution<\/a> could save us; a growing chorus now wonders whether we need to be saved from it,” Szalai said. “The document that\u2019s supposed to be a bulwark against authoritarianism can end up fostering the widespread cynicism that helps authoritarianism grow.”\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She went on to attack the originalist interpretations of the Constitution, “calling it “Constitution worship.”\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

What an idiot! She is Canadian of course, and unless she\u2019s in the United States, it has no effect on her. I don\u2019t know if she is currently residing in the United States as a Legal Resident Alien or is living in Canada, where she is the property of the Trudeau regime. She certainly doesn\u2019t understand what the purpose of the United States Constitution is.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned above, she went on a tear about how the Electoral College allowed Donald Trump to win the election in 2016. She then went on ripping the decision to overturning Roe v Wade and returning the whole thing to the States.<\/p>\n

“Trump owes his political ascent to the Constitution, making him a beneficiary of a document that is essentially antidemocratic and, in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional,” Szalai wrote. <\/b><\/p>\n

Obviously, the Moonbat doesn\u2019t understand or know that the founders didn\u2019t trust a pure democracy and for good reason. They created a Constitutional Republic designed to limit the powers of the government and protect both the smaller, less populated states from the large states. (Back then, this was New York. Today, California and, to be honest, Texas)<\/p>\n

“After all, Trump became president in 2016 after losing the popular vote but winning the Electoral College (Article II). <\/b><\/p>\n

Yep. That\u2019s the way it works stupid. The Electoral College forces candidates to campaign in all states, not just the states that have the most voters.<\/p>\n

He appointed three justices to the Supreme Court (Article III), two of whom were confirmed by senators representing just 44 percent of the population (Article I). Those three justices helped overturn Roe v. Wade, a reversal with which most Americans disagreed.”\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

I am taking a guess that Szalai doesn\u2019t know that the United States Supreme Court and the lower courts are not there to \u201cRepresent\u201d anyone. They are there to uphold the Constitution and determine of laws passed by the legislative branch and signed in to law by the President, (Or a veto overridden), are constitutional.<\/p>\n

The problem with Roe v Wade was that there was no legislation on this, one way or the other. It was something made up by the Supreme Court acting as a super legislature. Even their sainted Ruth Bader-Ginsberg said the original decision was bad. (And she supported it) At this point, Szalai closed out her column and finished off any credibility.<\/p>\n

“One of the biggest threats to America\u2019s politics might be the country\u2019s founding document,” the Times writer added.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, if you consider the document that governs the United States to be a threat, how about you just stay in Canada. Then it won\u2019t bother you. However, the fact that you want the Constitution of a country you aren\u2019t a citizen of torn up because you don\u2019t like it could, technically, make you an enemy of the United States of America.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This column led to a response from Elon Musk. It was short and to the point.<\/p>\n

“They want to overthrow The Constitution,” he said on X.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“Long Live America and our Constitution!” Musk later added<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n
