THE US SUPREME COURT - AN ESTABLISHMENT DEUS EX MACHINA
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The founders created the Supreme Court as a deus ex machina
that would perpetuate and prevent substantial changes in the constitution
and that would protect the establishment it perpetuates.
For example,
the US Constitution, though hailed as a liberal document for its time,
was so employed by the US Supreme Court
that the freeing of the slaves, an important civil war goal,
was not completed until the middle of the last century---
Convinced of its own supremacy,
without any constitutional check upon its power,
and without fear of the executive, the congress or the people,
the court has recently declared that
"money is speech"
and
"corporations are people",
decisions that enable the ruling establishment
to enable foreign and big money interests to drown out the voice of the people
and thus deny to the people
the right of the people
to play a role
in their own governance
