Dems Souring on SCOTUS - as I Predicted
Timothy Birdnow
Recently I argued the Democrats were going to change their minds on the value of the Supreme Court. As power slips through their fingers they were going to decide the Court had way too much authority, and would seek to limit its' influence.
Well, here is something that buttresses that position. Radical Leftist Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) had this to say in a recent interview with Deconstructed Live. Here is the pertinent quote:
Sen. Jeff Merkley:
Absolutely and we really have to wrestle with the court because, here is the situation – the court is no longer a panel of wise, individuals weighing the provisions of the constitution against each other. It is now the most powerful legislative body and it is a legislative body controlled by and for the powerful rather than by and for the people. And if we don’t take on the issues of gerrymandering, if we don’t take on the issues of voter suppression, dark money in campaigns, then we’re going to lose forever more to the one percent and the court’s right at the heart of all those key issues
End quote
When SCOTUS was promoting abortion or gay marriage we were told they were the final authority and could not be questioned. Now the Left isn't so enthused. A sword with both sides sharpened cuts both ways, and the Left doesn't like it.
Despite the horrible nature of the gang rape of Judge (now Justice) Kavanaugh, it may yet serve a useful purpose. If respect for the courts is reduced, if we are restored to a more Constitutionally proper role for them, a great good will be served. Oh, and it may well have cost the Democrats the Blue Wave they believed they were going to get next month.
SCOTUS and the other courts were never supposed to have the kind of power they have held since Roosevelt. They have gone from interpreting laws and advising on them to making laws on their own. Clearly both the examples I gave - abortion and gay marriage - were unconstitutional law making by activist courts. These pseudo-laws need to be rolled back, and that can only happen if a.we have Constitutionalists on the Court and b.people stop listening to the courts so much. The latter appears to be poised to happen.
Some day we may thank God for the terrible thing done to Kavanaugh. But in the meantime we need to smite the Amalekite donkey horde. As with spoiled brats, the key to maintaining order and civility is in swift punishment. The Dems have to lose, and suffer, for their crimes in the Kavanagh case. And there actually were crimes; at least one example of an attempt to suborn perjury and probably a lot of others. If Jeff ZZZessions would ever poke his head out of its hole and actually do his job we could start fighting back against this stuff. Right now the Dems and the media are getting away with it because there are no repercussions. That must change.
