Yes, only 5 people in the entire universe determine what the US Constitution means; not the Congress or the President or the Pope or the Founding Fathers.....

And the only way they can protect that immense power is by acceding to the will of the majority. But they have to be very, very clever. They can't be obvious. They can't move fast. They need to creep up on citizens with pages and pages of reasons why separate but equal is constitutional for one court but not another, why congress could give land to Christian missionaries once but now a Christian cannot preach on public land.

It is the biggest con going. But when enough people are happy with the con, it continues. Someday the court may go to far. It will be interesting when Americans simply say "no", I will say "God" in the pledge.

Unfortunately, I don't thinks that's true. But the Left is getting more bolder and we have to retain control of Congress and the White House while possible Supreme Court retirements are approaching. And we have to control the Governorships since they can fill Senate vacancies.

Well said. I predict that day will come soon, when the court backs the admimistration on further gun control 'regulations'..
Both feds & states are obviously infringing upon our RKBA's. It will be the tipping point.
