The SCOTUS and America.

The SCOTUS and America.

After a couple days of thought and listening to various people who are much smarter than me. I have concluded that WE are screwed. We the People took a good shot on the 28th of June 2012. A standing 8 count. So now what?

First thing we must do is realize that THESE FOLKS IN ROBES:

We put them there. We elected the politicians who Appoint/Confirm their LIFETIME membership. They are SUPPOSED to be guardians of the constitution and NOT POLITICAL HACKS. We have allowed a VIRUS to be inserted into the body and then we blame the Virus. This isn’t just about Chief Justice Roberts either. He was one of four who stomped on the constitution. Think about that for a minute.

While Roberts wrote the opinion that was assailed by both sides of the issue, he sided with four judges and made the opinion a majority. Had any of the other four sided with the constitution Roberts wouldn’t have mattered. So it’s NOT ALL ON HIS SHOULDERS.

What do we do about it? Well, we have recently allowed two more judges on the court for life so that’s at least 20 to 30 years of political hacking. Should we allow Barack Obama to pick 2 more? Younger, more political? Or shall we have someone else pick them and a senate full of AMERICANS confirm them through their CONSTITUTIONAL views?

We have a choice to make, we have failed in our choices over the past 30 years and longer in some regards and its an important decision we are faced with this year.

The first step in problem solving is admitting you have a problem and admitting your part in it. I admit mine. I will fix it by getting more involved and influencing MORE PEOPLE. We must fight in the verbal arena before we fight in the streets and fields.
