SCOTUS & Contemporary Politics

This is a response to an email this morning concerning the following article:

"Supreme Court justices spar over court legitimacy comments"

Let me start out by turning to the Founding Father that wrote most of the Constitution, James Madison.  There are two quotes from The Federalist Papers that will help us understand what might be going on with SCOTUS.

In Federalist 47 James Madison explained this “When the legislative and executive powers are united and the same person or body, there can be no liberty because apprehensions may arise at least the same monarch or Senate should enact tyrannical laws to execute them in a tyrannical manner. Or the power of judging joined with this legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control, for the judge would then be the legislator. Were it joined to the executive power the judge might behave with all the violence of an oppressor.”

Here, Madison is explaining the problems that will develop if "Separation of Powers" is not kept intact.  Tyranny.  We have seen this warning come true in the last few presidential administrations, even under Trumps admin.  But the movement had already started, and Trump's attempts at halting the movement were limited and have been completely undone by Biden.  This current administration is the gravest example of Madison's warning.  I believe the Democratic Marxists have intentionally escalated their plans to destroy America.

In Federalist 39, James Madison explained it this way. “The first question that offers itself is whether the general form and aspect of the government be strictly republican. It is evident that no other form would be reconcilable with the genius of the people of America; With the fundamental principles of the Revolution; or would that honorable determination which animates every votary of freedom to rest all our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government. If the plan of the convention, therefore, be found to depart from the republican character, its advocates must abandon it as no longer defensible.”

On The Medlock Post, I have mentioned the question about new bills and laws.  "Which principle of the Constitution does this bill, law, regulation. or government agency apply to?"  This is what Madison is saying in Federalist 39.  Tom Herron and I discussed this on The Medlock Post Ep. 71 program Wednesday.  Every American should be asking this question right now.

How does this apply to SCOTUS and the cries that it is no longer legitimate?

Let's start by looking at the Dobbs ruling.  Those of us who opposed abortion have always asked the question, "Where is this in the Constitution?"  I think the six justices who ruled against Dobbs asked themselves that very question and found that principle was not there.  Upholding the Constitution in the Dobbs ruling and the other rulings they made earlier this year.

This is what brought about such a firestorm and screams of illegitimacy of SCOTUS.  The Marxists hate the Constitution and discredit that INSPIRED DOCUMENT as irrelevant.  They have the media on their side screaming the message of SCOTUS being over-rated and probably not necessarily needed in today's United States and especially not in the New World Order.

By discrediting SCOTUS, this can give the Marxists a good reason to ignore their rulings.  This is called "ANARCHY" by the ruling party and their followers. And the Founding Father's also called it, "Ruler's Law".

Let me finish with this quote concerning the Constitution:

“Anyone who says the American Constitution is obsolete just because of social and economic conditions have changed does not understand the real genius of the Constitution. It was designed to control something which has not changed and will not change – namely, human nature.”

W. Cleon Skousen, 5000 Year Leap

This "human nature" is what is driving the Marxists.  Power. Greed. Lust.  And it goes to the five conditions of society the Marxists are creating to maintain their Power.  CHAOS, DIVISION, FEAR, HATRED, AND VIOLENCE.

We need to "heed not the negative voices" in the world.  And as Thomas Sowell said, "Many on the Left are so enhanced by the beauty of their vision that they cannot see the ugly reality they are creating in the real world."

Thomas Jefferson said, "The Spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to always be kept alive.  It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.  I like a little rebellion now and then.  It is like a storm in the atmosphere."

We the People should be that "storm in the atmosphere" at all times and Stand Up to the Tyranny of the government.

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
