I find it very difficult to believe that the Supreme Court of the United States of America will knowingly swear in a constitutionally unqualified president because the “right” people failed to challenge his qualifications to run!

Is this the future of the Supreme Court????

WHEN IS THE SUPREME COURT GOING TO INTERPRET THE CONSTITUTION INSTEAD OF “PRECEDENCE”????????

Stare Decisis is death to any system of Law that uses it alone for process. Stare Decisis is a mortal disease the Society that has a system of Law that relies mostly on it.

Mathematicians, physicists and engineers would understand this naturally, as do thesaurus writers. In mathematics, consider the repeated addition of small solid angles. (See for example http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/336k/lectures/node12.html) Such additions do not commute. That is, the sum of a series of small rotations in space does not place a object in the same place as the pure mathematical sum of those angles. The place arrived at could be opposite and far from the place desired. So it is that a series of legal decisions each branched from the other, can up at ruling that is totally perverted from any semblance of moral sanity and be the twists and turns that end up in the distant result be inscrutable to any considering it.

It is also why by repeatedly using a thesaurus to replace a word or phrase with another one can end up with a meaning exactly the opposite of what was intended. Every ruling in a healthy vibrant system of Law in which the educated and moral participate as judges, advocates, juries and witnesses is informed with common law of the original intent. While rulings will consider prior similar rulings, and even more weigh a series of prior similar rulings, most rulings will also of themselves and obvious to all stand in accord with the common sense, morality and ethics of that original intent. By such rule are people happy and productive, and generations regard the wisdom of prior generations respectfully.

I find it hard to believe myself. The United States Supreme Court's JOB is to not only uphold the Constitution but act as the superivor of it. It's their job! What the hell is this guy even talking about?

No law citations, no nothing, all opinion and not one shred of evidence that points to the responsibility the SCOTUS has in determining cases.
