We have a Republican president and Senate and a Supreme Court with most judges appointed by Republicans. And it feels like we are losing on many fronts. I wonder how things can be turned around.

Trump called it a “powerful decision”. Not what I was expecting or wanting to hear.

Law schools at Ivy League and their allied prestige universities (Stanford, Duke, Vanderbilt) teach the “living Constitution”, not original intent. This allows courts to change or rewrite the Constitution, and laws passed by Congress, without going through the legislative process or the constitutional amendment process.

There are consequences when Republican presidents appoint Ivy League educated lawyers to the courts. How long has it been since a graduate of a state university law school been appointed to the highest court?

It’s Congress’s job to rewrite not the Court

[Amendment10]

"That law bars discrimination in employment on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, [and] national origin.” But in oral argument, Justice Kagan redefined “sex” in Title VII to mean more than the binary choice of a man or woman. Justice Gorsuch bought the argument, and in the process he usurps Congress and distorts the textualist school of jurisprudence that he claims to follow."

Blah, blah, more blah.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots, we will have a golden opportunity to get rid of the activist, institutionally indoctrinated justices trampling the Constitution when we reelect PDJT by also electing a new patriot Congress that will not only promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA, but will also promise to impeach and remove Constitution-ignoring activist justices from the Supreme Court.

From a related thread…

First Amendment-related protections aside, regarding the otherwise mostly constitutionally indefensible (imo) Civil Rights Act of 1964 (CRA ’64) and its titles, please consider the following.

When the 19th century Supreme Court examined the 14th Amendment-related voting rights case of Minor v. Happersett, the Court did not suggest that Virgina Minor claim to be a man under the voting laws of her state in order to vote, but decided the case against her.

The Supreme Court thus established a precedent for recognizing only the biological male and female sexes under the Constitution imo, this precedent effectively becoming a part of the Constitution when the states ratified the 19th Amendment imo.

• “3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

  

• "19th Amendment:

  The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Also regarding CRA '64, consider that the 15th Amendment likewise limits any race protection laws that Congress makes to voting rights issues.

"15th Amendment:

Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added].”

Constitutional lawmakers maybe should have included language in the 13th, 14th or 15th Amendments to deal with discrimination and segregation.

On the other hand, our generation is certainly an eyewitness to how badly all three branches of the post-17th Amendment ratification, unconstitutionally big federal government can twist the original intent of constitutional lawmakers regardless how carefully amendments are written.

F**k Gorsuch. The coward.

Looks like Gorsuch further left than Kavanaugh.

Thomas is still the ONLY one I trust.

1 out of 9 = 11% which is sad, but...

it’s still higher than the percentage of Bishops that I trust...

which is REALLY sad...

“There is no evidence that Congress or the public in 1964 understood gender identity and sexual orientation to be the same as biological sex.”

Imagine what kind of illogical and fraudulent nonsense will be conjured up in the future. It will make this “gender identity” insanity look like... er... just more idiocy, I guess.
