Let's Talk About the Jugurthine War

By Rich Kozlovich

 

What prompted this article was an outstanding article by Andrea Widburg on American Thinker, DC judges let Chief Justice Roberts know that Donald Trump is a bad dude, saying:

The Federal District Court for the District of Columbia has been a safe haven for Democrats, with the justices there willing repeatedly to favor plaintiffs who have filed suits against the Trump administration. Margot Cleveland obtained a memo from a federal judicial conference held this past March showing that the DC judges are actively hostile to Donald Trump and want to ensure the Supreme Court shares that hostility. This behavior crashes into the federal canons governing judges, as well as into the reality of Trump’s conduct. 

 Andrea then goes on to outline who they are and how they're corrupting the judicial canons and the invertebracy of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roberts.  An outstanding article to say the least, and again, more reason for a 28th Amendment for age and term limits to the federal judiciary. They’re out of control, and the Congress has failed to use their Constitutional authority to rein them in.

So, let's talk about King Jugurtha of Numidia and the Jugurthine War. Never heard of that? Imagine that.  Chuckling...yeah well neither did I until I was doing some research on Julius Cesare and stumbled on to it.   Jugurtha murdered family members to become king, and bribed Roman officials, including Senators to let him get away with it.  He bribed military officers to prevent being defeated, and this went on for years with these officials happily taking their money and looking away.  Finally the public outcry over all this was so massive it forced Rome to act.

This story exposes the massive corruption that was so Roman, so vile, and so ubiquitous triggering so many civil wars in Rome's history.   I don't think most realize how corrupt and unstable Roman government was for all of it's existence.    

This kind of corruption was rampant during the three Obama terms impacting the military, the administration, and the judiciary, with Obamaites appointing federal judges for 12 years.  Twelve out of the last 17 years filling the federal judiciary with corrupt and incompetent political hacks,   All of whom are have been epitomized by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who should sitting on is a park bench, not a judicial bench.

The exposure of that corruption has been the justification for the purges going on in both the military and the administrative branches of government, but the judiciary is out of control and uncontrollable.  We need term limits as getting a two thirds vote for an impeachment conviction is impossible.

Definition leads to clarity, history is everything, and the patterns of life repeat over and over again.  I think this story is useful as this kind of corruption is now in play with the federal judiciary, and it's uncontrolled, putting their own values and agenda ahead of the Constitution, Congressional legislation, Executive privileges, their oath of office, and destroying the rule of law, which is destabilizing the nation.  It's time to stop looking the other way, it's time for a massive public outcry, and a Jugurthine War, i.e., a 28th Amendment.

I will be using this historical reference in the future. Think how China was allowed to buy advanced computer systems from the US, how N. Korea got nuclear arms, how Iran was given billions and was on the verge of a nuclear bomb, and who was responsible for that.
