The Supreme Court has taken up residence in the Swamp

The Supreme Court has taken up residence in the Swamp
By John Green

The Supreme Court was originally envisioned as a nonpartisan third branch of the government. With lifetime appointments and a mission to defend the Constitution, it was believed that the court would remain above the political fray.

But about 50 years ago, the court decided that with penumbras and emanations it could discover things in the Constitution that are not actually written there.  Justices were no longer merely interpreting the Constitution, they were rewriting it, under the guise of interpretation, to suit the political leadership that had appointed them.

With this foray into politics, the Supreme Court inevitably became part of the swamp. They’re no longer scholars who understand the Constitution and its supporting documents, now they’re political players. That’s why Supreme Court appointments have become so contentious.

As political players, the justices have used their newfound power to “discover” a whole host of “rights” that are not actually written in the constitution. They’ve discovered:

    A right to privacy
    A right to abortion
    A right to same-sex marriage
    A right for the government to seize private property for the benefit of private enterprises
    A right for the government to regulate commerce within states

The issue isn’t whether any of these things are good or bad. The issue is that the voters, via their elected representatives, should have been allowed to make these decisions.

Well, the Right to Privacy descends directly from the requirement that the government must have a search warrant to intrude on someone's home or their papers, and that a search warrant cannot be issued without stated probable cause.

There is clearly no right to murder babies, just check out the Fifth Amendment.

The prevention of murdered babies overrides the Right to Privacy, as the right to life is supreme.

As for the rest, read The Liberty Amendments.

Long ago!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien
