Nice in theory, however try to live with just the Constitution as the law....not USSC opinions, and you’ll soon end up in jail, or worse.....
Lawyers.... My Pop told me “They taste just like chicken.”
True, but those placed on SCOTUS from the beginning of our nation have ascribed to themselves more and more power. They need to be reined in...
We the people have the final say... and until enough are ready to remedy the situation, things will get worse.
The view must be very nice from that ivory tower, but down here in the weeds we’re still living with Rowe v. Wade, and Heller v. D.C.
Justice John Roberts could have written this opinion piece but it still would not change reality.
Reality:
Decisions are considered law by the Congress and the Executive branch.
A decision by SCOTUS provides precedent on which lower courts will rule and by which law suits will be accepted by litigators.
SCOTUS is co-equal in the sense that it is embedded into the politics of our government.
SCOTUS is every bit as political as the Congress and the Executive branch. The Constitution made it a political body by providing for the President to nominate and the Senate to approve judicial appointments.
That’s reality!
Look to the Declaration of Independence!
This essay should be required reading for Donald Trump.
Every time the Democrats throw an injunction at him, he walks away from the issue.
Or even worse - he sends career DOJ Leftist lawyers into court to “defend” his policies.
The only way Trump can have any impact on the Deep State is to flagrantly ignore judicial decisions - and risk impeachment.
so how does the 2nd amendment fit?
Natural born citizen still means born here of citizen parents.
The problem with the USSC is that it forgot its primary mission long ago. It isn’t and hasn’t been a arbiter in ages - it now serves as a hyper-partisan extension of the political parties. Especially the Dhimmicrap party.
Every court decision establishes precedence, which is legal ammo in subsequent trials.
The court has the power, over time, to define the impact of laws in how they are interpreted.
Congress passes laws that are intentionally not well defined for political reasons. The generation of each law is a compromise. This delegates power to the courts.
The lack of proper definition in the law increases the courts’ ability to shape interpretation and precedence, and thus increases the courts’ power.
The Supreme court determines what is not law. Scotus determines if a law is constitutional.
The three political justices do not believe in the constitution. they support the right of judges to legislate. the three women must be eliminated to have a fair court
(1) Legislature. They can impeach POTUS, they can change or write laws, they can increase or decrease court sizes etc.
(2) Executive.
(3) Judiciary.
Were they inclined, the congress and senate could pass an act disbanding the SCOTUS. Once signed into law by the president the court would no longer exist.
Someone once, in describing the American constitutional system, asserted that in the American system, absolute sovereignty rests precisely nowhere. Every branch of the government, Congress, President, Courts, States, People, have a check and balance on each of the other branches. The checks and balance features may not always be evident except in a crisis situation, but there will always be a countervailing force when it is needed.
I found that explanation both satisfying and encouraging.
