Go old communist supreme court. I bet they don’t realize that the time is coming real soon when there won’t be any constitution, and therefore there won’t be any need for a supreme court.

That would be fine with me, because I think the common sense interpretation of the Constitution and the law by the vast majority of Americans would be truer to the Constitution than the layers upon layers of sophistries and perversions of the law imposed by the courts.

For example, pictures or motion pictures of pullulating pudenda are not what the Founders understood to be "free speech."

The notion of "due process" means that the procedures established in law were applied as specified, not that some judge gets to impose his or her notion of "fairness" as policy.

The phrase "cruel and unusual punishment" refers to the list stated in the English Bill of Rights from 1689 and no other forms of punishment are "cruel and unusual." It just means no drawing and quartering and no burning at the stake, not that prisoners must have air conditioning and cable TV.

The Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments do not protect any sexual practice. The legality of sexual practices and the definition of marriage are up to the legislatures as they have been since time immemorial.

The Commerce Clause means Congress only has control of trade across state lines. Any economic activity within a state is not under Congress' authority, nor can Congress ban mere possession of anything, only the transport and sale of products across state lines.

Regulatory actions that result in the loss of value or usufruct of property are "takings" under the 5th Amendment. If Congress wants to turn vast amounts of property into Federal parks and game reserves, it can buy the land.

Etc.
