In 1958, all nine sitting justices of the Supreme Court signed on to a judicial opinion in the case Cooper v. Aaron that asserted that the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Constitution was supreme in importance to the constitutional interpretation of the other two branches of government, and that this judicial supremacy, all nine justices asserted, is a “permanent and indispensable feature of our constitutional system.”
If I had to pick two things that more than anything else were destroying our free republic, the judicial supremacist lie would be one of them.
It’s a big lie that has infected pretty much our entire legal and political class, sadly.
Unless we can turn that around, I don’t see any possible way for us to survive in liberty.
As long as that lie holds sway, we are living under a judicial oligarchy, not in a constitutional republic.
