SELECTING A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
When politics triumphs over common sense, chaos reigns.
The American written and TV media must be strictly regulated in an effort to insure that the news they issue is the truth—not propaganda (see 2/1/2018 post). The existing mainstream personnel are no longer broadcasters but are now propaganda ministers.
Watching TV a few days ago, a prominent jurist suggested a political affiliation for the new Supreme Court Justice. His comments made me sad that such a well known and respected jurist would make such a suggestion. If he truly believes that justices should have party affiliation, then it is time to amend the Constitution to remove federal judicial lifetime appointments and elect all judges as many states currently do. Since this jurist taught law and he is one of many who teach or have taught at blue state universities, it is now understandable why there are so many politically active judges who rule based on their bias instead of the Constitution. Judges and lawyers from these universities and others who practice and share this philosophy are destroying the Rule of Law. Without Constitutional Rule of Law, there will no longer be the United States of America that most older citizens have known and loved. We want our country back.
It is difficult if not impossible to understand how any judge with party affiliation can be truly fair and impartial in non political constitutional deliberations when there is no accountability like an election. The stench of corruption currently permeates the whole federal court system which in effect promotes lawlessness and anarchy. My apologies are offered to the few true and honest judges who may still be in the system.
For the last 50 years or so, the federal courts have ignored and abused our constitution way beyond what this observer believes our founding fathers envisioned to the detriment of our people and our Constitutional Republic. The federal courts have envisioned themselves as the supreme branch of government and have usurped legislative and executive powers contrary to our Constitution.
Many of the jurisdictional problems we have today can be fixed by following the original Bill of Rights 16th Amendment [1]–which was never approved. Is it time that we add this amendment to our Constitution? It reads as follows:
“The powers delegated by the constitution to the government of the United States, shall be exercised as therein appropriated, so that the legislature shall never exercise the powers vested in the executive or judicial; nor the executive the powers vested in the legislative or judicial; nor the judicial the powers vested in the legislative or executive”.[2]
This country needs a new constitutional Supreme Court Justice who interprets the constitution as written–not a liberal, conservative or any other political affiliation justice.
