I’m taking a “wait and see” attitude on this Judge. I like him from what I saw in his introduction last night by POTUS. But I have several questions which I’d like to see answered.
1. Is he going to strictly interpret the Constitution?
2. Is he going to strictly respect the boundaries of authority where Congress has their role (i.e. Article 1), President has his role (i.e. Article 2), and the States/People have their role (i.e. Amendments 9/10), and the other Constitution restrictions?
3. Is he going to allow for government to misinterpret the “Necessary and Proper” clause in Article 1 Section 8 as a vehicle for bankrupting our country and turning us into a place where freedom is toast and government control reigns supreme.
4. Same question regarding the Commerce clause of Article 1 Section 8.
5. What if a scenario comes up where his view of what is best and fair differs from what a strict interpretation of the Constitution says? Will he go with the Constitution and then offer suggestions? Or will he try to usurp the Constitution like a power hungry madman?
I really don’t know enough about this Judge. But I will be watching and evaluating.
By suggestions I mean: “The Court rules against [some proposal to violate the Constitution for some pet project agenda of a power hungry despot] because the Constitution prohibits [clarification] and the parties who seek this action should follow the Article V process to amend the Constitution if they intend to eliminate the foundational principles of our country’s government.
