A SCOTUS Guide for the Perplexed
American Thinker ^ | Jul 3, 2022 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 07/03/2022 5:35:04 AM PDT by upchuck

As is usual, the Supreme Court saved its most important decisions for the end of this term, and the three biggies were handed down within days of each other: “Bruen (gun rights), Dobbs (abortion rights) and West Virginia (administrative regulation of CO2).” 

You don’t have to be a constitutional law scholar to wade through all this and the footnotes, citations, and legal disputations. Francis Menton has done it for you

(You can’t rely on the major media to do it. For the most part they share the same ideological viewpoint as that of the three dissenting justices, a view Menton explains very well.)

In a nutshell:

These two views, he correctly observes, are irreconcilable.

We’re no longer a republic.

The SCOTUS is a rubber stamp for Deep State.

Any victories conservatives think we can claim are Pyrrhic.

That’s the sitch in 3 sentences.

>>He’s right too, that the last decision — West Virginia — is the most important one of the three.

I’ve been telling people this since WV v. EPA came out. This has the potential to dismantle large chunks of the Regulatory State. Conservative legal operations should be figuring out which agencies / regulations to go after first.

The BATF overreach on re-defining what is a machinegun (bump-stocks) is already in the works.

It is at the Fifth Circuit right now.

I guess it’s a whole different discussion, separate from SCOTUS, why biden can end the remain in mexico policy yet the courts prevented trump from eliminating DACA.

"As is usual, the Supreme Court saved its most important decisions for the end of this term"

No. The Supreme Court did not even act on the most important decision of the 21st century and one of the most important in US history, viz.: Whether or not the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen by widespread, co-ordinated fraud.

The Supreme Court justices obviously lacked the courage, integrity, wisdom, and moral and intellectual clarity to rule on this question.

The American People and the USA are suffering and will continue to suffer the consequences of the justices' ill-advised refusal to examine--or even consider--the evidence, seek the truth, and rule accordingly.

At a crucial time in US history, when courage, integrity, wisdom, and moral and intellectual clarity were needed, the justices failed.

~~~~~~~~~~

Wait...wut? So the DS wants RvW overturned, us to have guns, and the vast unconstutional powers of the administrative bureaucracy eliminated?

Odd.

The really big failure that led to the clown world we live in is when they refused to uphold the natural born citizen clause.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

Yes, the Supreme Court refused to consider the question of Obama's birth certificate and settle the question once and for all, whatever the truth might be.

This was another failure of courage, integrity, wisdom, intellectual and moral clarity, and sense of duty and responsibility.

But I submit: The question of widespread, co-ordinated fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election was an even greater matter, in fact existential to the continued existence of the USA inasmuch as fair, honest, legal elections are necessary for the continuation of the Republic.

On the most important matter to come before the Court, the justices failed. They failed the American People, they failed the USA, their failed their responsibility, and they failed themselves.

The rigged election of 2020 flows directly from Usurpation Day.

Yes. You’re right about that.
