No More (Bureaucrats Who Would Be) Kings

 Clarice Feldman, discusses significant political events and legal issues surrounding the indictment of former National Security Adviser John Bolton, the Supreme Court's consideration of voting rights, tariffs imposed by the president, and an attempt by the UN to impose an international shipping tax.

1. John Bolton Indicted:

• Former National Security Adviser John Bolton was indicted on 18 counts, including unlawful retention and transmission of national defense information (NDI) through unsecured personal connections.

• The indictment alleges he sent sensitive documents classified as high as Top Secret, revealing intelligence on international relations and foreign adversaries.

• If convicted, Bolton faces a maximum of 10 years in prison for each count. The case follows an investigation that began under the Biden administration in 2021.

2. Supreme Court Considers Voting Rights:

• The Supreme Court heard a case (Louisiana v. Callais) regarding Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which questions if states can create majority-minority congressional districts.

• A ruling favoring Louisiana could disadvantage Democratic representation. Justice Sonia Sotomayor argued against this ruling, but the court seemed unpersuaded.

3. Presidential Tariffs:

• The Supreme Court will also hear challenges regarding the president’s authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Two tariffs target countries for not addressing fentanyl trafficking and aim to create fairer trade.

• These tariffs raised $30 billion in September 2025, contributing to a significant surplus for the U. S.

4. UN Carbon Tax Attempt:

• A proposed UN international shipping tax aimed at combatting climate change was blocked after a strong U. S. campaign led by figures including Marco Rubio. This tax would have raised costs for global shipping and was labeled as a "scam" by President Trump.

• The tax's delay was remarkable, marking a significant victory for U. S. diplomacy against globalist policies.

In summary, the article outlines critical legal developments involving John Bolton's indictment and the Supreme Court's pending decisions on voting rights and tariffs. It also highlights the successful intervention by the U. S. government to block a UN shipping tax that could have impacted global commerce significantly. These events reflect the ongoing tensions within U. S. governance and foreign policy approaches.
