House Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) did the unthinkable on Tuesday: He called out Representative Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) ghastly voting record:

We are falling prey to the high drama of swamp politics — the art of shuffling around the deck chairs [while ignoring the] large iceberg in front of our country….

 

Let us contemplate the message Republican leadership is about to send by rushing to coronate a spokesperson whose voting record embodies much of what led to the 2018 [shellacking] we received by Democrats….

 

We must avoid putting in charge Republicans who campaign as Republicans but then vote for and advance the Democrats’ agenda once sworn in.

Roy proceeded to list Stefanik’s specific positions and votes on key issues, including:

The phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” attributed to English playwright William Congreve in The Mourning Bride, applies to Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Formerly third in command of the Republican Party in the House and head of the party’s conference, she is soon to be the former Representative from Wyoming.

She saw it coming. Once the No.1 and No. 2 powers-that-be — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) — pulled their support, it was all over but the voting.

The voting took place early Wednesday morning, and Cheney is gone.

But she isn’t leaving quietly. On Tuesday night, to a nearly empty House chamber, she claimed that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to the Republic:

In comments made to Fox News hosts just ahead of his interview with them on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said this about Liz Cheney: “I think she’s got real problems. I’ve had it with her. You know, I’ve lost confidence.”

McCarthy expanded on Cheney’s problems when the show went live: “I have heard from [Republican] members [who are] concerned about her ability to carry out her job as conference chair, to carry out the message. We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority [in 2022].”

According to Cheney, it’s all about “unity,” but only as defined by her. As The New American reported, Cheney has said:

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell said he invested millions in frankspeech.com, his new social-networking site — a cross between Facebook and Twitter — that would be invulnerable to outside attacks. He said people would be able to create their own personal profiles and make comments.

His efforts to generate interest exceeded his fondest expectations: During the opening “Frankathon” at his website, more than 90 million people viewed it.

But, thanks to “a massive attack,” most of them weren’t able to create accounts. Lindell didn’t elaborate. Instead, on his site he explained why he spent four years and millions in building it:

The Supreme Court got it right on Friday, April 9, when it ruled that California’s COVID shutdown rules violated both the First and the 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

But it was by the narrowest of margins: 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts once again siding with the liberals on the court.

This is the fifth time the high court has been forced to overrule similar decisions from the Ninth Circuit on California’s COVID-19 restrictions on religious exercise. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett made up the majority, while Justices Roberts, Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor supported California over the complaints brought by Santa Clara pastor Jeremy Wong and others.

Liberal Justice Elena Kagan wrote the dissent, claiming that California was fully justified in impinging and infringing upon people’s First- and 14th Amendment-guaranteed rights because the state was relying on “experts’ scientific findings” to justify those infringements.

In his book One Vote Away, published last September, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) made the point that Americans are just one vote away from not only losing precious rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights but losing the Republic altogether. He used numerous close calls to illustrate and prove his point: just one vote on the Supreme Court preserves the right to speak freely, to keep and bear arms, and to exercise freedom of religion.

As we noted on Saturday, regarding Biden’s executive order establishing the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court will explore much more than just the need to expand (read: pack) the Supreme Court:
