Rumors had it not long ago that the U.S. Senior Senator from
Utah , Orin
Hatch was considered for appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States
(SCOTUS). If true, the man just blew his chances.
He did so by expressing views which are anathema to what the
Supreme Court has been doing; adhering to a philosophy it firmly maintained for
decades. It is the insistence that the right to speak freely does not only
cover the spoken or written words, but also the effort that is exerted to
secure a platform from which to exercise that right. This is why in America the
courts never ruled in favor of third parties accusing the two dominant parties
of monopolizing the debating platforms at election time.
As to Canada ,
the groups that saw themselves weak relative to their opponents, never took
their case to court. Instead, they went to the federal or provincial
governments and asked for financial assistance. Their plea was to have a level
playing field when challenging bigger and more powerful opponents in the courts
of law or the court of public opinion. Worth noting is that in America , this
kind of legal aid was never considered by government at any level. That's
because funds for a cause in that country are always raised through public
donations.
Still, these are not normal times in America . Odd
things have been happening, and more are expected to happen in the future. A
good example of that can be seen in the article that Orin Hatch wrote under the
title: “Protecting Freedom of Speech Where It Matters Most, on the College
Campus,” published on February 7, 2018 in National Review Online. Here is how
Hatch introduces the subject:
“A new bill before the Senate would ensure First Amendment
rights in our institutions of higher learning … Our nation's students are at
the forefront of a technological revolution [Twitter] that is expanding our
ability to assert our First Amendment rights. I am deeply concerned that
college administrators are not following the same trend. When faced with
opinions contrary to their own, some institutions have sought to dampen student
expression … to make matters worse a conspicuous bias against conservative
views exists in higher education”.
Wow! If someone came from another planet, and looked at that
statement, he would take it to mean that the job of America 's administrators in the
higher learning institutions is to dampen the Twitter's ability of students to
assert their First Amendment rights. But why not? Donald Trump and Bernie
Sanders gave their middle finger to the two-party system and raised enough
money through the use of the Twitter and other social media to show that the
established order is better left for the birds. And if the students made full
use of that technology in their war of words against each other, they will be
left with nothing that's worth tweeting home about.
I assume that the bill discussed by Orin Hatch is not asking
for money on behalf of conservative students to buy Twitters and establish a
level playing field with their liberal counterparts. If my assumption is
correct, it must be that the conservative students are asking the federal
government to regulate free speech. Did you catch that, my friend? The
startling event here is the juxtaposition of the two words “regulate” and
“free.” Do you realize what it means? It means someone is trying to infest the
U.S. Senate with a critter called oxymoron.
Let's be honest and candidly express what we have in mind.
The conservative students trying to inject oxymoron in America 's
system of governance are the Jews who used to dominate the campuses. They fell
off their pedestals in tandem with the demise of the Pax Americana neocons,
having themselves abused their academic privileges by shoving the Holocaust
down the throat of students who could not care less what the Jews of Europe
brought on themselves a century ago in far away places.
And so, what the conservative students wish to do now is to
repeat in America the
scenario that their forefathers so disastrously played out in Europe .
These were the games that triggered the pogroms and the Holocaust; murderous
events that the Jewish leaders who survived them, as well as their younger
disciples, have been monetizing like cash cow ever since.
In short, for Orin Hatch to treat the bill that's before the
Senate with deference instead of being revolted by it and throwing it into the
shredder, is to fall into the trap that swallowed the state governors who
signed BDS bills forcing their citizens to buy what the Jews tell them to, or
face a jail term.
Add to this abhorrence the higher education bill, and Orin
Hatch should realize he could bring America a notch closer to staging
the next holocaust.
It's all in your hands, Senator. You can send the reputation
of the U.S. Senate into the mud and pave the way for the next holocaust to
happen in America ,
or you can shred that bill.
