The only time Leftists are originalists is when Jefferson wrote to the Baptist Association of Danbury, Connecticut and spoke of "a wall of separation of church and state." Suddenly, the founder's intent becomes sacrosanct to them.

You see? Separation of church and state. ..clearly, America's founders wanted us all to be atheists, to hate religion and to create a humanist utopia.

Instead, the Supreme Court justices rely on past court decisions to interpret the cases of the present.

They don't even do that. Lots of doubletalk is used to obscure the fact that over time, the SCOTUS decisions are inconsistent. The law is arbitrarily applied.

Spencer Irvine of Accuracy in Media assult on the Supreme Court and its decisions particularly the recent ones which sets everyone marching off in that esoteric direction. While there is merit in disscussing this facet of the constitution. What should be under discussion right now is the separation of powers and the outline of duties that exist under the constitution between the executive and legislative branches.

For example this;
While the talkies, talk radio show hosts, need to remind “US” of this.. Members of the House and Senate also seem to forget. While those selected to head various federal departments of government are recomended by the incomming POTUS (president of the United States). Those candidates are constitutionaly required to be approved by the Senate in a procedure known as advise and consent.. Those appointed then are also sworn to uphold,serve, protect,and support the constitution. Not the executive branch. .

Therefore they and their respective departments are answerable to both houses of congress which funds these operations and can and should refuse any executive order if that order works contrary to existing legislation which created it expands, modifies,or radically changes those deparments purpose of operation or is contrary to the interests of the country ..
