Who Should the Next Supreme Court Justice Be?

It is a matter of record that liberal justices on the Supreme Court vote in a block – there is essentially no dissent.  They see the Constitution for them to rule, as they will without restraint.  They ignore the extensive writings of the Federalists and Anti-federalists, the notes of the Constitutional Convention, and the great political philosophers whose ideas are incorporated in the Constitution - all of which explain and restrain the federal government.  For these justices, the Constitution is subject to their notions of decency and morality.

Regardless of your opinion on abortion, homosexual marriage and the Affordable Care Act, these are all unaddressed by the Constitution.  So when the Court reads “rights” into the Constitution, it steals the democratic process reserved to the people which is to be persevered by the Constitution.  This is the judicial corruption of the Constitution and the subversion of the people’s right to self-governance.

The choice for the American public is to decide if they really do want self-governance or merely five justices to decide what freedoms the other 320 million people do or do not have.  If the former, then people must demand justices from their elected politicians that read, not interpret, the Constitution.  If the latter, then demand justices that will interpret the Constitution.  But remember, going down this latter road it is a path of no return, as freedom once lost has historically only been regained through bloodshed.

Take to heart that tyranny does not start with gulags and concentration camps.  It starts with calls of compassion.  It is disguised as “giving” you rights.  But there is no instance in history when the consolidation of power does not lead to political corruption and eventually enslavement.  It is the undeniable nature of man that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
