"No institution in American government has been as destructive and arrogant as the Supreme Court."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
I respectfully disagree with the author of the referenced article concerning the Supremes being the most destructive institution in the federal government.
The bottom line, imo, is that the nation has been suffering the effects of unconstitutionally big federal government, particularly since the FDR presidency, as a consequence of what I refer to as 17th Amendment gridlock.
More specifically, regardless that the Founding States gave the power to remove corrupt federal government “leaders” from office, the problem is that the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate has basically refused to do so, the corrupt Senate actually protecting activist justices as well as lawless presidents.
Look at it this way. Not only does corrupt Senate now regularly screw the states that the Founding States had established the Senate to protect, the Senate doing so by working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass bills which steal 10th Amendment-protected state powers and state revenues associated with those powers, but consider the following.
The Senate then finishes its dirty work by confirming justices who declare the laws established by these unconstitutional bills to be constitutional, lawless presidents not having to concerning themselves with possibly being removed from office for signing such bills into law, activist justices likewise not having to worry about being removed from the bench for declaring unconstitutional laws to be constitutional.
What a racket!
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment effectively nullified the idea of a constitutionally limited power federal government imo, and needs to disappear, along with corrupt senators, lawless presidents and activist justices.
I am more interested in seeing people invested in the Lord than in the mechanics of a particular political solution.
