Read this and understand the concern.





About four thousand years ago, the Babylonian King, Hammurabi, gave the world its first written code of laws. A copy was found in the Middle East in 1901. It contained 282 laws engraved on an eight-foot block of stone. One can still view it in the Louvre in Paris. Hammurabi's Code is considered one of the most important social advances in all of history. Written laws make it harder to hide corrupt and biased court rulings [1].



The Code’s first five laws addressed the operation of the courts of justice; the fifth law specified penalties for “errors” by judges. Any judge who erred through his own fault would pay a fine equal to twelve times the fine he had imposed in the case he mishandled. He would also be permanently removed from office [1].



A likeness of Hammurabi appears on a wall inside the U. S. Supreme Court building. Supreme Court justices claim him as their forefather. They proudly cite our written Constitution as the basis of their authority. They claim to be its spokesmen and defenders, and they’ve all taken oaths to uphold it. However, they violate their oaths with impunity; they began trashing our written Constitution more than 200 years ago.

This ruling was correct. It may be unfortunate but when a law violates the constitution it's gotta go.

Legislatures clearly can change the statute of limitations for these types of crimes but they would not cover crimes committed before the law was changed.

It is one thing to claim to see things not written in the constitution and that rightly infuriates us. But to ignore what is actually written?
