Like every institution dominated by the Left, federal courts long ago wandered from their constitutional purposes and morphed into political bodies.

Yet, unlike Congress and the Presidency, and like the Administrative State, elections alone will never restore our rotten judiciary.

This column is worth the time to read.

It’s a foolish premise. The Constitution was and is a political document. The SCOTUS’ judicial power extends to all laws, which by their very nature are political. In it’s history it has ALWAYS been a political body.

We need to minimize the role of those black-robed lawyers. The Constitution is a good place to start. Too bad Congress can’t do its job.

Anyone who wants long-lasting, deep-rooted change must look to the states first — an approach that requires effort and patience no doubt but an approach that is far more likely to last.


Concluding statement

An observation. At the demise of the Soviet Union, the power moved back to the satellite countries. No body wanted to put the centralized power back in place.

We’ve given a bunch of unelected politicians in black dresses ultimate political authority. Don’t be surprised when they act like it. And also don’t expect them to give you the freedoms you won’t grab for yourself.

But do we really want to have so much authority exercised by so few people?

This OSHA BS is back in place because of two leftists. Two.
