In the midst of this time of riots, upheaval, the usurpation of liberty, it is difficult to find even the tiniest ray of light, and most especially from any element of the legal profession.
Here, a personal one.....
Sad to state how correct I have been about the vaunted Supreme Court, which has been proven exactly as I have stated: As useless as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
1. Now….the ‘third branch of our government,’ ….isn’t.
It is not elected by the people, and that is the only authority our Founders put any faith in. And, as a matter of experience with human nature, ....don't make the mistake of assigning a higher level of integrity and honesty than anyone else. Certainly, we learned that about politicians, bureaucrats, heads of agencies, the Deep State, pastors, whatever.
And now.....about Supreme Court Justices.
They’re simply well-positioned lawyers. And as trustworthy as any other lawyer is.
2. The Supreme Court has no authority other than applying the words of the Constitution to laws…..it was never granted judicial review by the Constitution. it should be noted that the Constitution does not provide for what is called ‘judicial review,’ nor is the concept found in English law.
That power was stolen by Marshall, and never repudiated for the simple reason that the Executive Branch was happy to have an ally that simply rubber-stamped increases of federal power.
3. Experts, 'scientists,' bureaucrats ...don't make the mistake of assigning a higher level of integrity and honesty to any of them, than anyone else. Not politicians, bureaucrats, economists, pastors....whatever. ..know that they have been forced to embrace the collective, oppose the separation of powers, and or checks and balances, and the result is a tyranny of bureaucrats .
Remember.....the Constitution is written in English.....and the Justices don't speak it any better than you or I.
4. Once you give the unelected power over your life, especially in the are of morality, you are ignoring what Talmon said:
“The latest variation of totalitarianism is neither religious, nor even political: it is cultural. “Totalitarian democracy” is a term made famous by J. L. Talmon to refer to a system of government in which lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state whose citizens, while granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of the government.”
Cultural totalitarianism is rule by the individual freed from all external authority or constraints, morality fully privatized with Judeo-Christian traditions under attack.
That is your Supreme Court. And they proved it during this election kerfuffle.
Had they obeyed their oath, and their allegiance to the Constitution, Trump would be the winner.
