The last time you looked at your credentials, the terms constitutional scholar or Doctor of Juridical Science were nowhere to be found. Too bad. With no standing, your political opinions have all the weight of Joy Behar’s inane prattle. Still, you theorize if Josephine Victoria “Joy” Behar is allowed to co-host ABC’s The View and get away with it, the least anyone else should be able to get away with is, well, murder, or certainly some lesser crime — like stating facts without footnotes or peer reviews. Therefore, with respect to making an unsupported assertion, here goes: No individual, no organization, no committee, no alliance, no affiliation, no federation, no congress and no corporation has besieged and battered America more than the Supreme Court of the United States. By all means, the robed demigods have had help. The Founders in their wisdom created a triumvirate — a balance of powers to satisfy a single, vital duty — safeguard the United State Constitution. No one expected presidents and congressmen to honor that mission with life and limb. After all, they were only mere politicians; and like today, their reputations lingered just above used wagon salesmen. But Supreme Court Justices? Ah, these were the beau monde, the creme de la creme, the exemplars of virtue; or in country parlance, the pick of the litter. These were, in the days of yore, and are, to this day, the supreme sentinels who stand guard over America’s Holy Grail. Sounds good, doesn’t it, Matilda? Then again, sweetheart, these guardians are — attorneys. That fact always raises the hackles. According to the Pew Research Center survey on public esteem, lawyers have forever been rated at the very bottom of the barrel. In Henry VI, Part 2, Shakespeare put it another way: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” The jokes are as infinite as they are iniquitous. Regardless, no amount of rationalizing can minimize the corrosion that has taken place at One First Street, NE. Keep this front and center. The SCOTUS was enjoined to carry out, mind you, a single mission — to keep inviolate America’s grand design. That’s it. Elementary, no? Don’t let those other rascals monkey with a sacred trust. You can hem and haw but just say it. The SCOTUS has failed, has failed repeatedly, and failed miserably. If you like, check out the Constitutional experts. They can give you sourced chapter and verse — all your little brain can grasp. But don’t bother. Just read The Constitution. It’s eminently simple. The Founders gave the Federal Government specific powers, limited powers, very narrow jurisdictions. The States? They were to have broad, sweeping powers, and did for years — until the SCOTUS decided to play God and subvert the Constitution. They turned the document on its divine ear and the subversion not only exists, but escalates, to this very day. You must conclude that a majority of the 114 justices were deaf, dumb and blind as they repeated their sacred oaths to defend The Constitution. They are not alone. With rare exception, Washington’s elected and appointed officials have violated — are violating — the oath of office — on a daily basis. The Supreme Court abandoned The Constitution long ago, and the Balance of Powers along with it. Put the blame where it belongs. Above all, blame SCOTUS. Blame Congress. Blame Presidents. Blame the Deep State hoods that run agencies. Blame Governors and State Legislators for folding like the world’s cheapest suit. Blame Big Corporate Money for buying insider influence. Blame politicians for accepting the money. Blame ungrateful citizens who feed at the public trough. That’ll do for now. And meanwhile you will fault no one who honors The Constitution, as written. America exists because masterminds gave Her life and nourished that life through a Covenant unparalleled in human history. Today, the boot of tyranny remains poised over what’s left of that Covenant. Oh, by the way, don’t blame the messenger.
