Roberts has ended respect for the SC. The court is now just another weapon to be used against the USA. When enough of the populace loses all respect for the legal system, there will be corrosive consequences for civil society and any remaining freedoms.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but who the hell refers to them as The Supremes? There’s no Diana Ross there and they sure as hell aren’t Supreme to me. These people are essentially EMPLOYEES! Like the president and congress they are not rulers even if they think they are. We have to discipline our government and remind them that they are employees and if they don’t like it they can get out and get a real job. The media uses this propaganda to try to create the impression that these people rule not govern.
Agreed.
I personally have lost respect for the rule of law and respect for our courts, due to inane rulings such as Obamacare and homosexual marriage.
With regard to homosexual marriage, I believe that the liberal justices made this up as they went along.
In 2013, they ruled that the federal government must recognize same sex marriages from states which allowed them. The reasoning was that states had the prerogative to define marriage, and that the feds would accept their definitions of marriage.
But now, in 2015, the reasoning is reversed. Now they recently ruled that states are not allowed to define marriage, and that the federal government will impose marriage laws upon all states against their will.
The equal protection arguments also make no sense to me. Under traditional marriage, everyone was already treated equally. Any man could marry any woman. All of us are limited to marrying a consenting adult, one partner at a time. All of us are banned from marrying certain close relatives. And so on.
I realize a homosexual doesn’t want to marry an opposite sex partner, but he/she has had the same rights everyone else had in marriage law.
So it appears to me that the five liberals on the Court made up their hackneyed reasoning, in both 2013 and 2015, to push the agenda of same sex marriage. They also were not concerned by the staggering contradiction in the legal reasoning between the 2013 and 2015 rulings.
They are not concerned that homosexuality and gender identity and all of that are NOT protected classes under federal civil rights laws.
They were hell bent on imposing homosexual marriage on the whole country and didn’t give a s*%$ what legal reasoning was used. They knew the liberals and media would celebrate their ruling and not pose any of the issues I just mentioned here to question anything about their rulings.
This is how Hitler obtained "lawful" control over the courts to get te ability to eradicate"untermenschen," whom he could declare as non-humans, as animals, something between monkeys and cretins, depending on how those dominant one defines heritage, intellect, morality, and/or utilitarian value to society.
Hitler's position was crafted by lawyers through the judicial system, IIRC. All laid out for O.
