The Supreme Court should enter the Olympic Judicial Gymnastics competition. They would win.
Anyone who think we still have an independent SCOTUS is smoking something.
And I don’t mean tobacco.
There goes that suddenly popular term again: Gaslighting. Yes. I know what it means, but it seems like a cumbersome somewhat tedious method of illustrating a point. But then, who’s asking me?
SCrOTUS is a joke.
They kicked the can on the most important case ever. They could have looked at the evidence. Maybe they will show the unity this time and straighten it out when it comes time. And the time will come before bidens term is up. Hopefully. Or they look election year and agree Trump should have been president and deem he won and even though he didn’t serve it. It will go on record he won therefore he can not run again. Lol.
US Supreme Court - Where justice goes to die.
Our nation is ruled by men, not law.
The Constitution is the foundational document that sets the rules and boundaries for our governments (federal, state and local)
But those boundaries have been destroyed by the courts that refused to enforce them due to agendas.
So, now we are playing a game of monopoly without rules. Instead of landing on Go To Jail and going to jail, we have loopholes for getting out of jail based on what the banker “feels” is the right thing to do.
Odd how Bush Gore got to the front of the line in 2000, but they refused President Trump’s case.
I wish the Constitution had an Amendment which mandated that the Supreme Court quote directly from the Constitution to explicitly show that every decision was within the scope of a federal court and also that the decision was in keeping with the intent of the Constitution. We wouldn’t have abortion, we wouldn’t have gun control — we wouldn’t have a lot of things.
Further, I’d like the President and also Congress to have veto power over the Supreme Court — if the US Supreme Court quotes the Second Amendment and then says THEREFORE AR-15s are illegal, the President should be able to say “Not so fast! That makes no sense!” and veto that decision. With any two branches in opposition as to the constitutionality of a decision, the third branch should be able to step in and say “I side with this or that”.
My overall feeling is that the federal courts are the hardest part of government to properly handle. And I think we failed. Looking at the Supreme Court’s history, I think it has done very poorly. The Constitution failed. The Court is too political and it has used power inappropriately and there has been no mechanism to stop it.
My little proposed solution above may not be good. But we need to reinvent the Court. The Constitution, as written, got us into this mess. It needs some kind of fix.
There is no such thing as the “Rule Of Law” in a nation of dishonorable, weak men.
Time to rethink the meaning of the term: "Hangin' Judge".
Supreme Court:
Obama care isn’t a tax
Except when it is
That Supreme Court ( jesters) ?
There is a false premise that persists throughout discussions of SC “political balance”:
Namely, that the spectrum of political leanings on the court ranges between sincere Leftward and Rightward interpretations of the Constitution, with the Right more protective of individual rights, and the Left more protective of the collective rights.
The truth is that the Right is the only side sincerely attempting to follow the Constitution, while the Left seeks to undermine it.
The Constitution was designed to protect individuals from the tyranny of the collective. So, the Left is not one side of a legitimate political spectrum. The Left is the natural enemy of the Constitution, and seeks to destroy it.
Until we understand that only Thomas and Alito are consistently fulfilling their proper roles as protectors and interpreters of the Constitution, and that the others are mostly saboteurs, all discussions of “balance” on the SC are disingenuous.
SCOTUS.
Bought and paid for with Communist Chinese money.
Just like the Congress and the White House.
The Court stood down when told to, declining to look at The Steal. Pretty much says it all.
The crooks that ordinary, low-information citizens unthinkingly elect to the Senate have effectively nullified 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty by routinely bypassing the Constitution's Article V to unconstitutinally expand the already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers.
After all, career senators not only help the likewise corrupt House to pass bills that steal state powers and uniquely associated state revenues, but then confirm activist Supreme Court justices who declare the unconstitutonal laws that Congress passes to be “constitutional.”
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The 17A ought to be known as the self-inflicted social Darwinism (national religion?) amendment. It has effectively repealed constitutional limits on the federal government's powers imo.
Compare 17A to people shooting their feet off as an example of exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
