Another long thesis of self-congratulation. When any of you wise latinos out there has actually done the 24 months of research into each letter of the legal opinions as I did, charting the progression from the Supreme Court’s CLEAR UPHOLDING OF MARRIAGE AS THE BUILDING BLOCK OF US SOCIETY in the 1960s, on through its dismantling, block by block, including not only SCOTUS’ own decisions but the 500 or so lower court cases stemming from their decisions, and has written a detailed history of those decisions as I have, can you thump your back in one-upmanship on the topic.
Well, I wouldn’t spend my time reading the Postmodernist rubbish put out by our “Justice” system, since Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. destroyed the whole legal process with his foul ideology. After twisting our legal system into something found in Stalin’s Soviet Union—I wouldn’t tax my brain on absorbing such insanity.
There is no Justice system without Moral Absolutes which are enshrined in the Supreme Law of the Land. Holmes’s own words, “Men make their own laws...these laws do not flow from some mysterious omnipresence in the sky, and...judges are not independent mouthpieces of the infinite.” He also threw out Natural Law-—which is why we now get absurd irrational thinking, such as there is a “right” to sodomize other people and “Just” Law has to reward Vice. There’s a “rational” concept for you.
We have arbitrary law—man made-up law-—not Rule of Law which requires “Right Reason” and a Higher Power than man. Holmes: “The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.” So, Darwinian—don’t you think? or can you after immersing your brain in the convoluted thinking of Marxists who “create” our laws now out of PRECEDENT—Precedents created out of Nonsensical conclusions not based on Reason and Natural law or God’s laws. Great system. John Marshall would have thrown out thousands of our latest laws—Null and Void-—because they conflict with the Supreme Law of the Land. Wow-—what a concept....but Mark Levine stated it best—we are Post-Constitutional now.
Law schools NOW teach a system of Rule of Man. They are taught how to get around Just Law and pervert it. Several of my sons graduated with honors from law schools. The ideology taught is John Austin’s —not The Founding Fathers and John Marshall’s. John Austin was the father of Germany’s legal system in the late 19th century and embraced by all jurists by the 1920’s which paved the way for a Hitler. We are on that same road since Holmes.
“The gunman situation writ large.” as Hart would put the John Austin philosophy which replaced our Rule of Law.
