Chief Justice John Roberts, The Supreme Court, and the Country

 

Let’s get right down to brass tacks; or would it be wooden nickels in this case? The Supreme Court of the United States of America has one job: to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and to make sure that every law Congress legislates is in accordance with that most sacred document. Period. They are not there to legislate from the bench. They are not there to play political games. They are not there to pervert the Constitution. They are there simply to ensure that the laws of this great nation are Constitutional and to litigate cases between the States. After all, they are the highest Court in the nation.

Article III Section 2 reads: ‘The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; - to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other ;public Ministers and Consuls; - to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; - to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; - to Controversies between two or more States; - between a State and Citizens of another State; - between Citizens of different States; - between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

‘In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jusrisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.’

As you can see, the Supreme Court does not have the authority to legislate. It doesn’t matter if it is a law they don’t agree with. It doesn’t matter if the case before them could possibly cause civil unrest. It is their responsibility to uphold that which is written in the Constitution.

Chief Justice John Roberts has made it the Court’s responsibility to legislate on certain areas of dispute. The latest is the case between Chike Uzuegbunam and Georgia Gwinnett College where the Chief Justice was the lone dissenter. Uzuegbunam sued Gwinnett on the grounds they violated his First Amendment right of free speech by not allowing him to preach the Gospel on campus. His attorneys asked for only a dollar in recompense to show that he still had interest in the violation since he has since graduated. Roberts said it was a moot point and all he was trying to do was prove he was right.

Damn straight he needed to prove he was right! It doesn’t matter if a person is preaching the Gospel, Satanism, paganism, the Constitution, or Ozzy and Harriet; FREE SPEECH MEANS FREEDOM TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT, WHERE YOU WANT. Contrary to popular belief, unless it is specifically written into law, it is not illegal to yell, “Fire” in a crowded theater. It isn’t the most sane thing to do and goes against common sense, but it is not illegal.

It is the Roberts Court that said it was all right to stomp on and disrespect the American Flag because it was protected under the First Amendment right to free expression. Unfortunately, Mr. Roberts misunderstands what the term ‘speech’ means. The words mean everything: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the rights of the people peaceably t assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Thanks to Mr. Roberts, this amendment has been bastardized almost beyond recognition. [As a side note: 18 US Code paragraph 700 Desecration of the Flag of the United States reads: Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.]

Chief Justice Roberts has not been the Constitutional originalist that Ronald Reagan thought he was. He has actually sided with the left more than not. He has legislated from the bench on behalf of the Democrat Party and refused to hear the cases concerning election fraud in the 2020 election, which is one of the things that the Supreme Court is supposed to do; hear cases between States. He is an embarrassment to the Court and to the United States. He should step down and let someone that believes in the Constitution take his place. I would pick Justice Clarence Thomas, myself.

When even the Supreme Court has gone anti-American, anti-Constitution, full blown liberal, it is definitely time to take our country away from those that are ruling over us. We are a Constitutional Republic; not a Democracy, not a monarchy, not a tyrannical dominion. This government was set up ‘of, for, and by the people.’ Those elected officials, and those that are appointed by the elected officials, are our servants, not our rulers. The President of the United States is the ‘leader’ of the nation but only so far as we allow him to be. Congressmen are our representatives only and are to do as the people want. It is time to show them that they are not all powerful and above the laws that they pass. As so many of them are prone to say, “No one is above the law.” Congress, the Executive, and the Judicial branches should be held to a very high standard. Not one of them has the standards of conduct appropriate for our representatives, judiciary, or executive. They all need to go.

The Government would like for us to believe that they alone hold the power to remove members or appointees. Not so. We, the People, hold the power to remove any of them with impunity if they are acting irresponsibly or with corruption. Only a tyrannical overlord holds unmitigated power over the people as our elected officials are showing us.

The Founding Fathers made sure that there was a separation of powers, that there would not be one person, or branch, more powerful than the others. Right now, President (and I use that term here VERY loosely as Joseph Robinett Biden is not very presidential in anything) Biden is signing executive orders and actions left and right; some of which he doesn’t even know what they are (and YES he did say, “I don’t even know what I’m signing.”). Speaker Nancy Pelosi is ramming legislation through without committee hearings, debate, or even time for members to read the reams of pages of these pieces of legislation. To top it all off, with the Democrats holding the White House, the House of Representatives, and basically the Senate, with the so-called Vice President holding the tie-breaking vote, there is very little recourse to keep the left-wing radicals from instituting their anti-American, Marxist agenda; and the Supreme Court will not do anything about it because Chief Justice John Roberts is afraid that the Socialists will pack the Court with more liberals and take his precious sway from him.

As the Democrats are screaming equality, Constitutionality, for the good of the people, for the down-trodden, and for Democracy they are tearing our Constitutional Republic apart at the seams. Their far-left policies are only strengthening their hold on power, strengthening their political base, removing the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, changing the Constitution by executive fiat or restrictive legislation, and not giving a damn about the American people, only their own wealth and power. It is all for the Party; almost like the Soviet Communist Party or the German Nazi Party.

After the 2020 election and all the obvious fraud and corruption, Chief Justice Roberts decided not to hear one shred of evidence that was brought before the Court by some 17 States against the State of Georgia. Why? Only the Justices were in the room from what I understand when the debate was had but, rumor has it that the Chief Justice went on a tirade and was yelling at the other Justices. He was screaming that he didn’t want to start riots and uprisings by overturning the election and that the three junior Justices would vote the way he told them to. Not very Chief Justice like or even very American.

I believe that John Roberts should stand down, retire, recuse himself, or in some other way leave the Court due to corrupt behavior. He has sold out to the liberal left lock, stock, and barrel. The Supreme Court is not supposed to be political in any way, shape, or form but it has become a political tool for the left. It’s time to change things up and get back to our roots.
