As
I observe the now pervasive and long unchallenged Marxist turmoil and darkness which
has touched this once so bright and hopeful land, an involuntarily question rises
to the foreground. “How can this possibly be?”
And,
then my anger flairs and forms itself into this little copycat axiom. “Judges, judges everywhere, and no fine mind
betwixt.”
Obviously,
America has now been deeply darkened by Satan’s Marxist onslaught. And, our most substantial defenses against
that evil attack are two: God’s close friendship
and the graceful laws that he gave us to defend against such treacherous
internal enemies.
But,
the reality is this. First, as a nation,
sometime back we began to break faith with that divine friendship. Our generations began to freshly fall again for
The
Great Lie of the ages. It’s
this lie, “Then the serpent said to the
woman, ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it [the
desire for self-determination] your eyes
will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’” [Brackets added]
And
so, we’ve widely traded God’s truth and graceful daily guidance for our own
arrogant interpretations of life’s circumstances. And thus, day by day, we began to draw away
from his love and blessing in favor of our own confused and conflicting
personal druthers.
And
then, that second defense was removed. In
that developing relational distance between God and the nation, the slithering
Darkness found opportunity to bind up our ever more God-estranged minds so that
we now struggle to employ our laws to effectively protect the quality of life
within our nation against the Marxists.
And
now, it has become so self-evident. Our just
laws are still very much up to that task but our judges still seem stuck hard in
the mental mire of ancient and inflexible interpretations of those laws. And, their ineptitude often renders our good
laws feckless in the face of America’s Marxist enemies and the newly unique and
often existential issues they have brought upon us.
It
is as if our judges no longer understand this most sacred necessity for securing
true justice. Legal and Right must always be made to agree. When Legal and Right are allowed to stand in disagreement,
you do not have justice – you have a travesty of justice.
For example, the Biden Border Surge, by
design, was a militant Marxist invasion force, completely intended to do
widespread harm to this nation – and it actually has. But the inept interpretation of that crisis, trying
to legally manage that assault as you would a single individual’s border
crossing by affording the invaders personal rights, clearly brought Legal and
Right into a bitter confliction.
The
standard of our justice system must ever be the absolute agreement of Legal and
Right. And, if one of those elements must
be freshly interpreted to make it so, it must always be Legal that is adjusted.
That is, in fact, the real role and prerogative of judicious interpretations of
the law.
If
instead, however, we subvert Right, we have actually altered the larger moral
reality. And, that reality is far more sacrosanct
than Legal realities. That larger moral
reality is the very foundation on which the scales of justice rest.
Indeed,
it is when these two elements are deceptively wrenched apart by dark minds that
justice miscarries. That should never be
allowed to stand.
But,
in today’s America, all too often, that discord is, indeed, allowed to stand. And, it is in those times that my own mind and
temperament does that recoil thing; and the poet’s framing of my little axiom again
pops to mind, “Judges, judges everywhere
and no fine mind betwixt.”
Oh Lord, please give us mentally nimble judges, whose interpretations of our laws can wisely face down the Marxist enemies of our nation – all while absolutely maintaining a happy marriage between Legal and Right.
