Chapter 648: Theocracy is the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth
Ordinary people think that the White House, the Capitol or the Federal Highest. Law. These places must be very sacred and solemn when working or holding meetings.
In fact, however, the rest of the time except for the need to get reporters in and pose for photos and provide photo or video materials for the campaign.
The white house is ok and the federal highest. Law. The courtyard and the Parliament building are two places that are really as lively as ordinary people going to the vegetable market when they are working.
Pull small circles, whisper, yawn, secretly do all kinds of small actions, and even exaggerate to sleep directly in the hall with your eyes closed!
Someone does everything.
To put it bluntly, the tall and the tall, like the great commander, the highest. Law. Officials or members of Congress, they are also mortal, they also have all kinds of physical and psychological needs.
This earth is not a sacred terra, and the upper echelons are really just ordinary people in a physical sense.
There is no emperor here.
Therefore, the images that will appear on occasions such as gatherings of ordinary people will also appear on the occasions where people on the so-called imperial people get together.
Before the Nine Heavenly Order and the Grand Commander, and Peggy Morgenthau, the heart of today's ceremony, appeared.
The highest in the entire federation. Law. The hall of the courtyard is noisy, no different from working on the New York Stock Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade.
“…… Dear Abel, I said it. You can't go wrong with your choice, and this occasion today is the best proof of that. ”
In the audience, Abel was surrounded by the big man in the building opposite, the famous Hammer Tom Drey, the Texan who almost became the original godfather of Abel, and many senior members of the Elephant Party.
Although Abel publicly quit the Elephant Party last year, he said that he has since become a non-partisan and has a neutral attitude towards any party in the United States.
And after doing that, he also deliberately got a lot closer to the Donkey Party.
He seems to be a betrayer in the eyes of the elephant party.
However, betrayal is a betrayal of this kind of thing, and it is a betrayal to put it on a person who has no strength.
In the case of a powerful man like Abel, even if he has done a lot of acts that seem to be betraying the Elephant Party.
But from the beginning to the end, no one in the Elephant Party dared to say that he had betrayed his party, never.
Even now, they still treat Abel more as their own.
Of course, there is Abel's background, and the reason why the traces of the elephant party are too strong.
But there is no doubt that what is more important is his identity and strength.
Otherwise, if an ordinary rich Texan man dares to do something like Abel. In the face of this gentleman, it is estimated that it is like the party's various suppressions from top to bottom.
"Dear Tom, both in the past and in the present. I've always had a lot of respect for you......"
Able smiled and spoke in front of the hammers and elephants, "It's like I've always understood that they don't think of me as their own. The people who are by my side now are actually my own people. ”
His performance of seeing people and talking about people and talking nonsense made the surrounding elephants smile happily.
"Ha~ That's right, you can't change your background!" Tom Dre smiled happily.
Then he lowered his voice again, "Just like Rick." ”
Abel knows that Tom Dre is talking about Rick, who is the current governor of Texas.
He had already won the election last year, going from acting governor in place of George to full governor.
And Rick Perry, who was originally born in the Deep Blue region, chose the direction and mentor when he embarked on this path are also senior donkey parties.
But then, under the influence of the Bush family, Rick Perry jumped from the donkey to the elephant.
When he changed jobs, the social climate in the United States was not as open as it is now. So Rick was infamous at that time, and his hometown father and father still haven't forgiven him.
And because of his indelible traces of donkeys, in fact, apart from the shrubs, not many people on the elephant side really regard him as their own.
This is also why in parallel time and space, Rick Perry only became the governor of Texas at the highest.
Tom Drey's saying this at this time is implying that there is no way to erase such a thing as Abel's origin in the United States.
Abel didn't care about this, he knew very well that it didn't matter if the donkey was like or not.
The most important thing is actually your own strength.
If you have strength, even if you are a donkey pretending to be an elephant, the elephants will smile at you, and vice versa.
If you don't have the strength, what if you are an elephant? When other elephants should eat you, they won't keep their hands because you're of your kind.
It's the same with the donkey's side.
chatted with Tom Dre and others for a few more words, and talked to his father and Neil for a while.
When the clock came to 10:00 a.m. sharp.
Federal Maximum. Law. The hall of the courtyard suddenly sounded with the crisp and melodious sound of the Dharma bell.
Bell - bell -
Hundreds of guests and attendees, their chatting voices finally stopped.
Everyone knows that the ceremony is about to begin. And after the ceremony, Peggy Morgenthau, a young woman who is not yet 30 years old this year and is actually just over 24 years old, will become the judge of the District of Columbia Circuit Court. Official.
This level of promotion, if placed in the federal legal system, can be said to be a step to the sky.
13-Digit Circuit Court Law. The official is the highest-ranking existence in the federal legal system except for the 9-person heavenly group.
Even in the entire American legal system, their status is very high.
Yes, the power of the district attorney is indeed very large. A lot of times it can even be done against federal law. The officials said.
Even as long as the plaintiff and the defendant do not appeal, then even the Nine-Man Heavenly Group will not be able to control them.
For example, Peggy's grandfather, Robert Morgenthau. During his tenure as Manhattan District Attorney, the hand of federal law did not reach in a few times.
As a result, the Morgenthau family became the most powerful local judicial family in the northern part of the East Coast.
But not everyone is Morgenthau. A strong district attorney who can stand up to the federal legal system also depends on the region.
Prosecutors like New York City and Los Angeles certainly have some strength to compete with the circuit courts, and they can say no when necessary.
But those district attorneys who are not strong enough are in the 13 circuit courts. It is impossible to raise the voice in front of the officials.
So the location is really, really important.
And when that young and beautiful, elegant and serious feminine law. Official, dressed in a law. When the official dress came out of it surrounded by the nine-person celestial group.
Many of the younger men have their eyes straightened.
In terms of beauty, Peggy Morgenthau can probably become the most beautiful one in the entire Washington Triumph.
The more experienced veterans of Washington took their eyes off her and the nine-person group from time to time, and put their eyes on Abel Smith, who was smiling and applauding softly in the viewing seat.
At this time, many people are speculating in their hearts what means and resources were used to exchange this terrifying giant in the country to make Peggy Morgenthau ascend to the throne so smoothly.
Everyone knows, of course, that shrubs and lenquist are the two most important links in this process.
also knows that Abel Smith has a deep relationship with them.
But no matter how deep the relationship is, if you want to get the exact benefits, you also have to pay something.
Compared to Peggy Morgenthau's beauty, the real Washington animals pay more attention to this aspect.
The whole swearing-in ceremony went smoothly and naturally.
Because this is actually a formality, symbolizing the sanctity of the law.
After Archsemen George sent the nominations to the Senate, the results of the successful Senate vote came out.
Peggy Morgenthau is already the law of the District of Columbia Circuit. Official.
Just like George three years ago, standing before William Habs Lemquist and the priest and pressing the holy . The same as by oath.
Although it is a formality, it doesn't seem to matter. But if you have to look at it from another angle, today's ceremony is actually very important.
It's a bit of a contradiction, because in the United States, where there is a strong theocracy, this ritual has a certain symbolic meaning.
Then again, until now, we still have to press the holy . The United States is also the only country that has been sworn in.
Graveyards just don't count.
Because the United States is actually a theocratic country!
Not only the great commanders are on the throne, but they also want to press the saints. The oath-taking, and even the closing words of the inauguration ceremonies of successive presidents, must be "God bless you, God bless America," which means God bless you, God bless America.
That's right, God forbid, not constitutional . Law blessed.
Any sentence of the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Commander can be changed, but this last sentence must not be changed, and not a single word can be moved.
And it's not just the inauguration ceremony of the Grand President.
In fact, the religious culture of the United States is permeated by the entire society. The inauguration of the Commander-in-Chief must ask God to bless the United States is also to consider the feelings of the people, and the whole of the United States from top to bottom is super faithful to God.
Start with the Grand Commander and count down.
The U.S. Congress, the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, the highest halls of power where these elites gather, whenever any meeting is held, must begin with a prayer ceremony presided over by a priest, and then begin to discuss state affairs.
It is any session, without exception, that the prayer of the pastor is not over, and so many councillors cannot discuss anything.
At the end of the pastor's prayer, the councillors are also asked to read a passage from the Speaker. and then the meeting can be formally convened.
The process of the American elite meeting in Congress is so outrageous.
On the other hand, the United States, which claims to think independently and can restrain the power of the government. Law. The first thing I do when I take office is to swear to the pastor according to the Bible.
In addition, one more digression, the U.S. military, which is currently regarded as a heavenly soldier, is currently the largest violent institution of mankind, and there are priests everywhere in this violent institution.
In the United States, a chaplain is a member of the military. The team is officially formed, and the official army eats the national meal. Person. Follow the Army. The team acts together and fights in all directions.
Before going to war, the priest blesses the soldiers. After the battle, the priest should unblock the knots in the hearts of the soldiers in the name of the Lord, enlighten their lives, and lead the soldiers to pray and confess themselves to God when they are fine.
Isn't it a little familiar - ZW, priest, imam or shaman, priest, etc., covering the human army. 99% of the team's combat effectiveness.
It is said that it is now the 21st century, but the reality is that this set is still popular.
So when the time came, Peggy Morgenthau was in front of all 343 guests, including the Grand Commander who arrived at the end.
Hand pressed in the successive large. Law. Officers and Successive Circuit Court Laws. The officials used to press the holy book. Through the body, solemnly swear.
Finally, when she says the phrase "God bless America".
This means that as of today, she is the law of the U.S. District of Columbia Circuit Court. Official.
Today is 15 November 2003.
Coincidentally, when the oath-taking ceremony ended, the end began.
When everyone goes out one after another and goes out of the federation most. Gao Fa. At the gate of the hospital.
Above the sky of Washington, the snow is falling melodiously. The first snow of the year came in Washington, a little earlier than usual.
By the time Abel and Peggy, who had changed into their usual clothes, came out, it was already noon.
The snow had been falling for a while, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow. Although it was noon, it was the highest out of the Federation. Law. The courtyard was, and the cold wind blowing in his face still made Abel who had just come out of the warm room feel very unhappy. Even though I was already wearing warm clothes and wrapped tightly, I still felt a chill.
Weather forecasts say that after last year's warm winter, this year could be a cold winter.
Abel thought it might be true, because it was only mid-November, and it was snowing.
Christmas is still a month away. However, as the first good place, coupled with the publicity and warm-up carried out by the merchants in advance. The lights are getting brighter across Washington, D.C., and the Christmas mood is intensifying.
Although it is daytime and there is no brilliant light show, the Christmas trees that have not yet begun to decorate, as well as the shoppers carrying large bags and small bags, still make people feel the strong Christmas atmosphere in advance.
When Abel's motorcade stopped outside the lobby of a mansion in the Calloramar district, known as the lair of Washington's rich and powerful, the door to the mansion hall was immediately opened, and a smiling Robert Morgenthau and his son, George Morgenthau, appeared at the door.
The car door opened, Abel got out of the car with a smile, and then helped out Peggy inside, and at this time, Robert and the others couldn't wait to walk down the steps, and hugged Abel with a bright smile, "Good afternoon, dear Abel and Peggy!" ”
The old man looked very happy.
Although the most powerful district attorney family, the Morgenthau family is the bigwigs of justice in the North East Coast.
But all along, the Morgenthau family also wanted to reach into the system of federal law.
Robert and Kenny. Di has a deep friendship, if it weren't for Lao Ken's sudden brainstorming, maybe there would be Robert's name in the Nine-Man Heavenly Group now.
And now the work that he has not completed, his most precious granddaughter has done half of it.
Robert was naturally very excited about this.
"Come in first."
Just as Robert was excitedly talking to Abel and Peggy, he said a few words in the snow.
Behind Peggy's father, George Morgenthau, a thin old man suddenly stood up, smiling and beckoning everyone to come in first.
It's a bit cold outside.
And this old man, if the man who had just watched Peggy's swearing-in ceremony was here, would immediately recognize him as Mr. William Habs Lemquist.
The current Federal Supreme Court. The Chief of the Academy. Law. Official.
