New York Ratifies the Federal Constitution

I know it sounds crazy to say in our modern era, but the federal judiciary was little more than an afterthought to the Founding Fathers who designed our constitutional system.
Thomas Jefferson, the same guy who penned a fairly scorching list of grievances against unaccountable, tyrannical government, entitled the Declaration of Independence, called the federal judiciary the "least dangerous" branch.

I'm assured that if he had, the third president might rethink his comfort level with unelected, black-robed lawyers, being able to operate as an oligarchy, legislating, vetoing, and dictating from the bench.
As dangerous as unaccountable judicial tyranny is in any era, there has at least always persisted the reassuring belief that those seated on the "highest court in the land" were intellectual, informed, and sensible. Obviously there have been questionable characters in the history of Supreme Court justices, but even those maintained a semblance of sagacity.
One can't identify a woman. The other believes treating children like a Mr. or Mrs. Potato Head is good practice. I can't say this any other way. These are not competent minds. These are not serious people.
For her part, Justice Elena Kagan will likely vote along with Brown-Jackson and Sotomayor, having sworn allegiance to the progressive faith and all the macabre child mutilating fruit it produces. But credit Kagan for at least having the wherewithal to keep her mouth largely shut during oral arguments. She, unlike her liberal cohorts, knows how out of the mainstream her position is. She has likely read enough of the research literature to know that the whole transgender agenda is a self-conflicting, self-contradictory morass of gimmicky pseudoscience. It's one thing to vote for it. It's another to open your mouth and put yourself on the record saying incredibly ignorant things.
But that's where we are now thanks to Presidents Obama and Biden.
Just imagine if either had been presented with opportunities to fill additional vacancies on the Supreme Court.

Ouch. This is a zinger. Author should have taken the two minutes to google.
That quote is from Federalist 78. Written by Hamilton.
With regards to Hamilton’s authorship of the Federalist and his relationship with Jefferson, I’d encourage the author to watch the musical....
In the same vein....the composers of the Constitution noted that the USSC had no check...
They’re both despicable and shockingly ugly!
They hated each other.
I’m sure Jefferson recognized Hamilton for the danger he presented to the republic with his penchant for centralized banking, deficit spending and all the rest.
My understanding of that period of history is that he met Aaron Burr on the field of honor about 10 years too late to prevent the progressive disease Hamilton was spreading from infecting both chambers of government as well as the judiciary.
How many USSC vacancies will Presdent Trump fill this term? 2? Could it even be 3?
Again, I say,there should be no more than 2 women on the Supreme Court.
Actually, the “Wise Latina” was appointed by BJ Clinton.
Yes the same pubbies who may vote against some of Trump’s nominees voted to confirm these morons, go figure
Obama, Obama and Biden. What can you expect? Birds of a feather of course. All fools. All women. Never mind the EEO candidate status. DEI post turtles, at least two out of three.
What a woman “is” is now debated at the highest level of our judiciary!
It depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is.
Those two compete for stupidest jurist ever. But I think Jackson still wins. It is close though.
No. Betty Obama did it.
needed a slight correction.
I can only imagine what Justice Thomas and Alito think about their colleagues.
Most of the court is an embarrassment. Thomas and Alito are pretty solid.

T. Jefferson, the same guy who was royally phissed when Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason? The same guy who verbally shat on Chief Justice Marshall?
Well, it ain't "ain't."
