What Does Being an American Mean to You?
SCOTUS & Contemporary Politics by Richard G. Medlock
SCOTUS & Contemporary Politics
"Supreme Court justices spar over court legitimacy comments"
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!

The Medlock Post Ep. 61: Rule Not by Forked Tongue
The greatest threat to a dishonest regime is a citizenry willing to name its lies.
America is ruled by an elite whose status and power depend on enforcing certain falsehoods.

Renewing American Purpose (article)
We are in a post constitutional moment in our country. Our constitutional institutions, understandings, and practices have all been transformed, over decades, away from the words on the paper into a new arrangement—a new regime if you will—that pays only lip service to the old Constitution. Our system is now much more like an unwritten constitution which operates based on precedents, like the English system. No constitutional amendments have been passed to enact this, but new legal paradigms have been introduced—a “living constitution,” independent agencies, permanent, “expert” civil servants—that have changed the underlying separation of powers at the core of our system.
How did this come to be? The Left at the turn of the nineteenth century were loud critics of the Constitution. Woodrow Wilson wanted an efficient, modern administrative state run by experts that could not be slowed by the Constitution’s separations of powers. He complained that the trouble with the theory of checks and balances, “is that government is not machine, but a living thing. . .. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other, as checks, and live.” But these complaints largely stopped during the historical developments of the twentieth century, and there is rarely any talk of a constitutional amendment on the Left. Why is that? Because the Left quietly adopted a strategy of institutional change that left the constitutional system of separate powers in place but radically perverted how they operated, their incentive structures, and their responsiveness to the American people.
The Left’s legal theorists adopted an approach to interpreting the Constitution based on it being a “living” document, meaning that its provisions should be understood to be malleable, keeping up with a modernizing nation. This was married with increased power assumed by courts, and the notion that nine supreme court justices would make all final decisions without any response from the other branches. Congress created so-called “independent agencies” such as the Federal Reserve or the SEC, meant to be independent from the direction of an elected president, but this principle impacted all the agencies, with career civil servants protected from at-will employment.
Russell Vought is the president of the Center for Renewing America. He served as Acting Director then as the 42nd Director of OMB for nearly two years during the Trump administration.

Hurricane Ian is pounding the State of Florida as we speak. Yes, we can talk about sleeping when the wind blows from a Mother Nature Storm. But what are some other storms in our lives that we need to be prepared for so we can sleep?
Right now, we have the storms of Chaos, Division, Fear, Hatred, and Violence.
