None of 'em.
I suppose that, at one time or another, we all make the mistake of assigning a higher level of integrity and honesty to some stranger just because he has a title, is an 'expert,' professor, judge, some sort of bureaucrat.
But every one of 'em is simply a human being.....even the dope the Democrats claimed was god, Jesus, the messiah.
Here is a Republican politician, Justice of the Supreme Court, whose birthday is this very date,
Charles Evans Hughes
UNITED STATES JURIST AND STATESMAN
BORNApril 11, 1862
Glens Falls, New York
(Birthday tomorrow)
DIEDAugust 27, 1948 (aged 86)
Osterville, Massachusetts
The point of the story is that America was founded on the understanding that the Constitution is the 'law of the land.'
It is written in English, and requires no magical incantations to discover its meaning.
The job of a Justice is to judge a law against the words of the Constitution.
Hughes did that.....until he didn't.
To see the abject cowardice of the Justices, note that in invalidating the Guffey-Vinson Coal Act on May 18, 1936, less than a year before Roosevelt attempted to pack the court, Justice Charles Evans Hughes said that federal laws restricting local labor relations provisions were unconstitutional, that "the relations of employer and employee is a local relation" and "the evils are all local evils over which the federal government has no legislative control."
He went on to say "Otherwise in view of the multitude of indirect effects Congress in its discretion could assume control of virtually all of the activities of the people to the subversion of the fundamental principles of the Constitution." And..."... it is not for the court to amend the Constitution by judicial decision." Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p. 70.
Atta boy, Hughes!!! My hero!!!!
The US Constitution is inviolable!!!
Sort of......
Sadly, eleven months later, Chief Justice Hughes, spoke for the majority in finding the Wagner Labor Relations Act constitutional. Yes, he said...Congress could regulate labor relations in manufacturing plants anywhere in the nation.
Yup.....now he said the federalism on which the Constitution was ratified no longer existed.
See if this isn't gobbledygook.
"We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is, and the judiciary is the safeguard of our liberty and of our property under the Constitution. "
