The Supreme Court’s two most recent decisions …
Posted on June 29, 2015 by Robert Ringer
The Supreme Court’s two most recent decisions confirmed once again that the so-called third branch of government is wildly out of control. After the Court’s back-to-back rulings on Obamacare and gay marriage, Justice Anthony Scalia was so irate that he wrote, in his dissenting opinion, “I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.”
Pretty strong words, to say the least. And to underscore his point, he went on to say that “Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court.”
I was especially pleased that Scalia made it clear that he didn’t care about the substance of the rulings, but the way the Court arrived at them. After the Obamacare decision, Scalia referred to the Court’s ruling as “a defense of the indefensible,” bluntly stating that the Supreme Court’s latest ruling “rewrites the law.”
During more gullible times in our country’s history, the average citizen revered Supreme Court justices as being all-wise and omnipotent. But today more and more folks are waking up to the reality that Supreme Court justices are not only fallible, but incredibly arrogant. And the most arrogant thing they do is totally ignore the Constitution.
I’ll say it yet again: If anyone needs to be term-limited, it’s Supreme Court justices. It’s absurd that a president can appoint men and women who agree with him politically to life terms.
Which means that even if a small-government, free-market, pro-Constitutional candidate were to be elected president, the Supreme Court would still have the power to prevent him from implementing his agenda.
Sadly, America has become the land of the unfree and home of the corrupt.
