The Supreme Court handed down a bunch of rulings today. I won’t even bother posting links: just go to The Drudge Report and see for yourselves.
Busy day, but a frustrating one as well. As a society, I am coming to believe we need a very serious discussion on the role and scope of the U.S. Supreme Court. I’ve heard the legal profession referred to as “the secular priesthood” before, but never have I seen it in practice as I have this week. Legislating from the bench and overturning law, introducing foreign jurisprudence, narrow definitions of law meant for the legislative branch to discern, arbitrary removal of property rights by government officials, and a power extending even to the point of determining who the next president is…
The wheels are coming off. American Federalism was never intended to suffer a government this large and invasive, and our Constitution is cracking under the weight.
