by philosophers and theologians for centuries that all of life imitates the sport of boxing. I am, of course, the only one that has said that.

I remember during the felon's first term, saying "the courts will hold." Let's revisit that now. I'll add in, at this time, my noting that Rep. Jamie Raskin has asked the attorney general to release Mr. Smith's second report, along with the Epstein files. For there is reason to believe that some of the confidential documents the felon stole involve his relationship with the Epstein scandal.

Regardless of if the Senate votes for the release, the House committee has already subpoenaed them. We know the felon will refuse, no matter if one or both of the houses of Congress demands them. As always, he will stall, and it will go into the federal courts. His goal is to stretch it out until he leaves office.

Thus, at this point, I would prefer if it is sent to the courts as soon as possible. Even then, it will be a ball & chain on republicans in the mid-terms. This is a good thing. It will cause more republicans to break with the felon. As soon as the new Congress is sworn in, they need to urge the Supreme Court to rule on the case.

The court will hold, though by a 7 to 2 decision, rather than the 8 to 0 when Nixon was refusing to hand over the tapes. It will be interesting then to see if the felon attempts to block the documents release. However, those under him, including in the DOJ/FBI, will go along with his stubborn, depererate behavior.
