If the Supreme Court isn’t to Uphold the Law, What is it’s Purpose?
Freedom Outpost ^ | 7/14/2015 | Tim Brown

Posted on 07/16/2015 4:23:14 AM PDT by HomerBohn

With the recent, unconstitutional decision by the Oklahoma Supreme Court that Governor Mary Fallin must remove the Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the state capitol, The Sons of Liberty radio show host Bradlee Dean had a message for his audience concerning the ruling.

First, he noted the case of Stone v. Graham in 1980.

"If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments," the Supreme Court said. "However desirable this might be as a matter of private devotion, it is not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause."

(Video at source)

Dean made it a point to highlight the fact that this is not law, but a ruling, one that should never have been ruled upon in the first place since this is not an issue to which the Court has any jurisdiction, much like the marriage issue.

He asked if the Supreme Court has ruled that following the law is not a "permissible state objective," then what is their purpose? After all, if people are not to follow law, then is the court advocating lawlessness? Absolutely, they are.

Dean went on to say that the court needed to read Psalm 2.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. –Psalm 2:12

The Psalmist also warned against those who attempt to rebel against the God who gave the Ten Commandments, saying that while they are striving against the LORD, "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision."

Of course, we are told in the Book of Acts that these words specifically applied to the Romans and the Jews of the day who would not have the Christ to be King. Yet, practically speaking, David's words went out to the kings and judges of the earth at the time (vs. 10) and can rightly be applied to those of our day as well. All authorities are ministers of God (Rom. 13:1-5) and as such, are accountable to Him to execute His wrath on evildoers and to bring forth justice according to His Law. Anything else is injustice and an abuse of their power. And this is just what Dean pointed out.

"If you look at it for what it is, the fruit on the tree of these tyrants wearing black robes, it's interesting to know that the Supreme Court helps to advocate the crime rather than to prevent the crime," he said.

The Psalmist wrote, "Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward" (Ps. 19:11).

In the use of an illustration, Dean spoke about going out onto a frozen lake in Minnesota.

"If you see a sign that states that there's thin ice, stay off, guess what you do? You stay off the thin ice."

Dean said that the court wants to remove the signs that warn of danger. "These are a bunch of anarchists sitting on the bench, Satanists; do what you want to do; that's what they're teaching the kids."

"The Supreme Court has a lawful obligation and duty to execute judgment upon crime, not to encourage it," he added. "But that's what they're doing (Isaiah 51:4)."

He concluded, "This is the same court that has transgressed its delegated authority over and over again (Psalm 94:20). What they do is by mischief create law, which is not law at all. It's delusion."

Dean said that the court lives in a make believe world of their own creation and they want everyone else to come into that world and reject the Creator and His Law. The question to Americans now is simple, will you bow to the Mark of the Beast (adherence to man's law; cf Deut 6; Rev. 13) or will you stand against the Satanic tyranny that has gripped our land, repent, place our faith in the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and obey Him? Christ died in order to save sinners, of which this author is chief. He did not give His life a ransom to appease the wrath of God so that sinners might continue in their sin, but be saved from them.

I don't know what others will do, but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Like the central socialist government this court is out of control!

I believe the supreme court should have term limits rather than life terms and be elected rather than appointed.

These judges are either flaming liberal socialists or they are being blackmailed.

We don’t need any government other than the 9 unelected justices who rule any way they see fit. They can twist the constitution to fit the most disgusting and destructive desires and they do it every year. Had the founding fathers known what was going to happen, there would almost certainly be no court as we have today.

Consider what we know. 0bamacare was never intended to be “successful”. It was carefully crafted to fail as a step toward “single payer”. The Klown is on video saying so to SEIU, fer crying out loud.

SCOTUS kept it from failing. For now. In a perverse way, when they decided “for” the ACA they decided against the Klown. Now here comes along a Trump who has written he supports socialized medicine. Bizarro world.

The Supreme Court here is a relic... At this point, they are politicized far beyond any meaning or usefulness.

They have become the ultimate ‘cult’ and have made themselves irrelevant

Just like the majority GOP we voted in 2012. Flaming liberal socialists or blackmailed.

I’m going with blackmailed. When Obama leaves office I think the beans are going to spill.

As soon as we get a right administration and justice dept it will all be over for Obama.

If there is light at the end of the tunnel. Zero and his whole cabal will end up behind bars or sitting on Ol’Sparky.

“What is its purpose?”

In the hands of Progressives the purpose is subversion.

IMHO

The purpose of SCOTUS, as well as the purpose of the vote, is to legitimize federal tyranny.

While some of Mr Brown’s sentiments are certainly those I would endorse, I think his suggestion that following man’s law is receiving the mark of the beast is wrong. His reference to Deut 6 and Rev 13 is not helpful in the sense that it adds not a bit of insight into his claim about law and the mark of the beast.

His article would be better off without those final lines, or he should have expanded on his thoughts in this area to more clearly explain his meaning.

The second American Civil War is being fought right now. But not with violence, or weapons. It is being fought against Americans by treasonous scumbags at the highest levels of government. They have pulled the rug out from under us, and nobody realizes it for what it really is: a hostile takeover from enemy agents using our laws to protect our enemies and to punish our allies.

There is zero explanation for the things that the media and all branches of federal government are doing besides malignant. It’s utterly impossible to go from impeaching a President just 20 years for crimes about a hundred times less serious or devastating as the ones committed now to a government that seems to actively protect its countries enemies, while hurting its allies. There is no other explanation other than the current American government is a hostile enemy organization bent on the destruction of the free world.

The purpose of the court was to settle disputes between the states regarding matters enumerated in the Constitution. The expectation was that the Senate of the state would be the first line of defense to work out interstate conflicts. The Supreme Court would be the backstop.

In a dream world. The media will portray obummer as the best ever, like they do for the criminal cabal known as the Clintons.

The judicial branch of government ceased deciding cases by what the law actually says a long time ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandeis_Brief

The reality today is that the Supreme Court is essentially an unelected legislative body, accountable to no one and the idea of an independent judicial branch that decides cases neutrally is a myth.

Well said. The biggest problem is the uninformed public. We are being lied to daily by the media. If folks are interested in the truth, it is out there, but it’s not the main stream media.

"When Obama leaves office I think the beans are going to spill."

That very fact is why the dimocraps absolutely cannot afford to lose the next election.... They will pull every string, buy every judge, rob, steal, lie, cheat and blackmail anyone who stands in their way....

We know this....and there ain't a damned thing we can do about it.....

Our own politicians are venerable to blackmail because of their corruption...and they also will do ANYTHING to stay in office....a total lack of moral character....

Oh...I forgot....their ALL lawyers....never mind.

be elected rather than appointed.

Elected by the same voters that elected Obama twice? How will that work Homer?
