Why The Left Wants to Control the Supreme Court – Buz Blog

“The Supreme Court is the last line of defense for the separation of powers and for the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.” – Brett Kavanaugh

The Supreme Court of the United States is the last and main arbiter ensuring our freedom. When it interprets the Constitution as it was originally intended, the court is doing its job. When those progressive leftists state that it is “a living, breathing document,” what they are really saying is that the Constitution is whatever a majority of nine Supreme Court justices say it is. That power would give the Supreme Court the ability to take and use all of the duties and responsibility the Constitution gives to the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch of our Federal government. The United States would virtually become an oligarchy run by a majority of unelected, appointed for life, Supreme Court justices.

Any laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the President could be declared “unconstitutional” by the Supreme Court. Any Presidential enforcement of current laws could similarly be negated by the Court. Votes for President, Senators or Representatives would similarly be meaningless because whatever laws or actions taken by the Executive or Legislative branches would be subject to “judicial review.” The Court could virtually throw out the Tenth Amendment and take away all individual state power.

Thank God, that in recent years, the Supreme Court seems to have abandoned its former proclivity to legislate judicially and is returning to its role to interpret the Constitution as it was originally intended. Its rulings that “hate speech” is protected free speech and that the Second Amendment right to bare arms cannot be infringed, shows that the Court is returning rights to individuals, that prior Supreme and lesser courts, had previously restricted. By overturning Roe v Wade, the Court gave the right to the voters of each state, to vote in legislators who will be able to decide what to do about abortion in each individual state.

David Watkins, who writes for Inside Sources, reported, “Last term, the court delivered two significant blows to agency abuse. First, in Loper Bright, the court dismantled the assumption that unelected federal agencies can create law, reinforcing the constitutional constraint that only elected representatives in Congress have that power. Second, in Jarkesy, it upheld Americans right to a jury trial, rejecting the idea that agencies could serve as prosecutors, judges and juries.”

How many Americans have been tried, and heavily fined by any of the federal bureaucracies, without the right to a jury trial? This is a direct violation of the VII Amendment which states, unequivocally, “In Suits of common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.” I seriously doubt that many of the guilty decisions and excessive fines would have been imposed if the accused could have had the evidence heard by a jury of peers,

This coming session the Supreme Court will hear cases that could put a major dent into the power currently wielded by the administrative, bureaucratic state. This is another reason to consider your vote for President, Senator and Congressional representative, very seriously before casting it. The conservative members of the Supreme Court and the justices that President Trump appointed may not always vote together. They may disagree on important issues, but they will keep the court moving into the direction of individual freedom and liberty. And compared to the Biden appointee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, all of the conservative justices know the definition of a woman.
