Thomas Jefferson declared in letters that the decision in Marbury v. Madison and the concept of judicial review were unconstitutional and not actually law. Of course Congress thought otherwise because it passes the hot potato to the Court of Supreme Whim. Americans have been tolerating this judicial tyranny for over 200 years now. The Dred Scott decision arguably led to the First Democrat Republican War! It's way past time to end this rule of 9 black robed lawyers.

Article V ping. It’s a brief editorial on why we may need a Convention of the States.

We need another conservative justice on the SCOTUS, a real one.

Everyone was convinced that when Kavanaugh was seated, there was a 5-4 majority, but it only forced Roberts out of hiding. He can't pretend to be conservative any more...

The biggest question, and the most paradoxical one of all is, how can Americans, any of them, label a SCOTUS decision as ‘unconstitutional’? Where do citizens go to undo an unconstitutional SCOTUS decision?

There have been far too many court decision which can be categorized as being “activist” in nature, since they’ve been redefining the laws of the land, where laws are supposed to be defined and passed by the legislators, local and state and national

from dirty Emmet Sullivan to Epstein-fellowrapist Roberts
the judiciary is now drowning in self-inflicted
impropriety.

they should have resigned THEMSELVES.

instead, they try sedition and treason.

indeed, the problem arose with the court’s power-grab in its Marbury v Madison decision on 23 February 1803.

and nobody’s been able to correct it since

The Supreme Court and the Military were considered the last 2 firewalls for maintaining our Constitutional Republic. Recent events have proven that both are much weaker than we thought. We finally had a conservative S.C. majority which has suddenly vanished. Military Generals, who we thought would be on our side during a Marxist Revolution, are now openly opposing the President. Deep State Traitors everywhere are coming out of hiding. It looks like the cartridge box will be the final firewall.

What an enormously stupid statement: "Can't trust SCOTUS to give us..."

What kind of moron writes this crap?

No one "gives" us anything! Freaking richardhead!

SCOTUS is there ONLY to protect what the Constitution protects... Our God-given rights & liberties...

Washington will never limit its own power. The Court, no matter how "conservative," will never rule to eliminate judicial supremacism.

Therein lies one of the problems with out system of government. Everyone in D.C., no matter how "conservative" they are, believes that their job is of vital importance. Their job, of course, is government, so everyone there inherently believes government is the solution to just about everything that ails the people. If they didn't believe that then they wouldn't be there. It's a natural inclination to want to expand the power of your position so they all vote to expand government whenever given the chance. It doesn't matter if they're democrat or republican, they all believe government is the fix for everything.

Ask any teacher and they'll tell you that their job is one of the most important in the world. The same goes for doctors, cops, firefighters, pilots, postmen, garbage men, and government officials. Everyone is convinced that their job is indispensable. It's why a teacher shouldn't be put in charge of the department of education, a cop shouldn't be in charge of the FBI, a doctor shouldn't be in charge of the department of transportation. The teacher thinks the fix to education is to spend even more money down the sinkhole that is education today, the cop thinks everybody's a crook and the end justifies the means in catching them so setting up an elected president is fair game, and the doctor is solely focused on road safety so you end up with ridiculous speed limits, draconian DUI penalties, and silly "safety" measures like cell phone prohibitions while driving. You need outside perspectives, when you're life has been dedicated to one profession you think it's the important field in the world.

This mindset leads to an erosion of liberty because it causes government to grow continually until it's where we are now, so big and all encompassing upon our lives that it's smothering us. The founders envisioned a citizen legislature that would guard against that but we long ago discarded that in favor of an essentially permanent government of professional legislators and civil servants that spend their whole lives in government. To these people government is naturally the answer to everything, no matter what the question. When your only tool is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

The court will never voluntarily limit their own power because they view themselves as indispensable. They believe they're the only thing that exists to fix injustice in the world. They will always vote to give themselves more power. Government is the only entity that has that power to grant themselves even more power. The teacher, cop, firefighter, etc. might think they're the most important person in the world but they can't act upon it to expand their influence, the Supreme Court can and they will as they've shown.

They also blocked the President from invoking powers to withhold publication of materials until a review for classified information is undertaken.

I’m joining, and supporting, COS. I’m done trying to pursuede reps to do the right thing. The uniparty is hopeless and can’t fix itself. Not enough Trumps.

COS will give us term limits. That is the key step. The rest will follow. We need better people in Congress, not professional politicians.

there would be “justice” if you were
an Epstein Island bro
of “Judge” Roberts (Epstein Island, Malta)
OR were involved with giving him children and
his adrenochrome needs.

HE SHOULD BE IN GITMO.

Down the line in this thread is a post about the fact Americans, including most Freepers, now have no knowledge of the natural law roots of our Constitution. Nor do politicians or lawyers . But Natural law is perceived by all humans in all cultures. It is “written on the human heart”.

I agree with the poster that lawyers don’t know about it. Having known myself about the natural law prior to attending law school and finding that nothing about Natural Law was taught,I asked to do a required substantial paper on the subject.It is a jeweĺ of human thought

I have also thought, as did the poster referred to above, that we need to teach people about that subject and history.

One thing everyone should know are the basics. 1.Good is to be done and evil avoided. Examples of good would be 1.
preserve life. 2. Pursue knowledge. 3. Have a family and many others.

The good which over arches all specific goods is Freedom.

I would like to suggest that one way to introduce oneself to the natural inclination of all to recognize and know the Natural Law can be found in the C.S. Lewis book, Abolition of Man, especially the adds at the end of the book.
