New in PJ Media:
Up until now, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s principal claim to fame outside of the Keystone State is that Kamala Harris considered him for the vice presidential spot on her illustrious 2024 Democrat ticket, but ultimately decided to go with Tim “What A Man” Walz in order to avoid the ire of the legions of Jew-haters who have come out of the woodwork on the left since Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023. Now, however, Shapiro deserves kudos for that rarest of actions among Democrat politicians: doing the right thing. Bucking his own party, he has actually come out against efforts in Pennsylvania to steal the Senate election for Bob Casey.
Fox News reported Monday that Shapiro is “siding with the state’s high court after the justices ruled that faulty mail-in ballots can’t be counted amid a contentious recount, delivering a victory to Republican Party officials.” This is important, as Democrat county officials in Pennsylvania have been defying the court’s directive not to count mail-in ballots that lacked dates or had other irregularities.
That led the state Supreme Court to tell the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County that they “SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court in which we have clarified” the rules about which ballots could be counted and which could not.
Shapiro braved the firestorm that could ensue from his not putting party over ethics and any recognizable standard of right and wrong, unlike most Democrats, saying: “Any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process. The rule of law matters in Pennsylvania.…It is critical for counties in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions.”
The rule of law? A Democrat said that the rule of law matters, even when it goes against the benefit of the party? Has Shapiro been stripped of his donkey epaulets yet? These are completely reasonable questions in light of the fact that Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia vowed last week to continue to defy the court, saying: “People violate laws any time they want. So, for me, if I violate this law it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.” Yes, there is. What is more important than counting votes is first making sure that the ones you’re counting a real votes, not fraudulent ones. But such a consideration wouldn’t have gotten Pennsylvania Democrats the results they wanted, and so it was off the table.
There is more. Read the rest here.

biden had said that the fraud was in place. This lawbreaking in PA has gotten some coverage, but if the shoe was on the elephant’s foot, it would have been shouted to the rooftops.
It’s something when those who are supposed to write and enforce the laws, openly break them, acknowledging that the laws are being broken….and that they don’t care.
…
Good for the PA Court and good for this man. There are, evidently, still a few things that can be done right.

I’m predicting that 4 years from now, he could be the next Bill Clinton, who will do to the Democrat Party what Clinton did to it in 1992. Unless the Leftists in the party manage to do to him what they did to Tulsi Gabbard
