Peter Navarro - Democrats Continue Destroying Norms!

The other day Peter Navarro reported to prison to begin his four month sentence for refusing to comply with the January 6th Committee's Congressional subpoena. This being the first time in history that anyone has been jailed for refusing a Congressional subpoena seems lost on the main stream media (MSM). The fact that Peter Navarro was a senior presidential advisor, who will likely win on appeal, was imprisoned by the Justice Department is mind-numbing. The Democrats talk the talk but are openly shredding the norms of society like Executive privilege. Executive privilege literally dates back to George Washington and was officially outlined almost 50 years ago by the Justice Department that just jailed Peter Navarro.

The President of the United States and his advisors have historically been protected by Executive Privilege. This "norm" was outlined in 1977 by Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, John M. Harmon when he signed off on a seven page memorandum that explained the doctrine of Executive privileges as it relates to requests from Congressional committees for Executive branch information and documents. Basically, the President needs to be able to discuss almost anything, with those he surrounds himself, knowing that these conversations and any documents will not be made public.

"Simply stated, Executive privilege is the term applied to the invocations by the Executive branch of a legal right, derived from the need for confidentiality of it's internal communications and the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers, to withhold official documents or information from compulsory process of the legislative branch. The privilege has a long history, having been first asserted by President Washington against a Congressional request and thereafter by almost every Administration."

Democrats breaking norms seems to be the norm. For example The January 6th Committee was the first Congressional committee that didn't allow the minority to place members on the Committee which shattered one of the longest standing traditions of Congress.

The Democrats impeached a President over a phone call in which he supposedly was shaking down a world leader who didn't know he was being shaken down. We have the Democrat Speaker of the House tearing up the President's State of the Union speech as the nation watched. The Democrats conducted a historical 2nd impeachment of a President and the first impeachment of a former President which was so absolutely absurd the Chief Justice refused preside over the hearing.

While saying they are protecting our societal norms the Democrats are destroying them one by one and there is no end insight. Just a few years ago the Supreme Court ruled that same sex marriage was the law of the land. Overnight 99.9% of state and local governments complied with the ruling and the handful of clerks who had a difference in opinion were quickly dealt with. Fast forward a few years and the President is openly flaunting a Supreme Court ruling that the President can't forgive student loans. Under President Biden the Constitutional norm that Congress controls the purse is being blown off with little if any repercussions.

On day one of the Biden Administration an Executive Order overturned a decade of Democrat and Republican wotk killing the Key Stone Pipeline. An Executive Order ended the development of ANWR which was law including the the 2017 tax bill. Over and over the norms that kept our nation strong have been attacked by Democrats while they profess they are protecting Democracy. The left professes to be the the Guardians of political norms however, nothing could be more untrue. 

If you add up those overstaying their visas, those presenting themselves at points of entry, those crossing the boarder illegally and being detained, those crossing the boarder illegally and getting away and those crossing the boarder illegally that we never see it's likely we will reach 10 million illegal alien entries in President Biden's first four years. How can one argue that this invasion aligns with our political norms?

Peter Navarro, I'm sorry that you have to serve four months in prison. I'm sorry that our counties leadership seems hell bent on destroying our political norms as they profess they and only they are the ones trying to maintain them. Bottom line? Those of the Left please stop pissing on my leg while telling me it's raining.

PS Donald Trump was fined $464,000,000 after being found guilty of loan fraud which is another example of norms being destroyed by the Left. President Trump's legal team failed to convince the judge that a fine almost five times higher than the highest individual civil fine in history was excessive. As far as I know no one is saying Trump defaulted on any loan. The banks who were "defrauded" didn't join the law suit because they couldn't show damages. The best example of fraud listed in the complaint was Trump's personal New York condo being listed at 30,000 square feet when it was actually just 10,000 square feet. That sure seems like fraud to me but again we are talking about the most sophisticated bankers in the world and I don't think Donald has prepared any paperwork for anything in decades.
