Very important development.
It turns out that the Supreme Court is an enemy of “our democracy.”
“When Stephen Breyer announced his retirement from the Supreme Court last week, liberals rejoiced that a Democratic president would appoint his successor. You’d think, observing this joyful outburst, that some important turning point in the court’s political composition had occurred. Yet it was more a sign of how defeatist liberals have become on the subject: a Supreme Court that already has a six-three conservative majority will now retain its six-three conservative majority.
That’s pathetic. There’s no reason for anyone to accept that six conservatives should be empowered to block social progress for years to come. In fact, no panel of unelected lawyers should have that power.
Stop Respecting Traditions
In theory, Joe Biden could appoint more justices and the Senate could confirm them until the Court had a twelve-six or eighteen-six liberal majority. Nowhere does the Constitution require a nine-member court, so that number could be changed by a simple act of Congress. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt unsuccessfully proposed a bill that would have done exactly that, and, as hard as it is to remember now, numerous progressive commentators touted the idea after Donald Trump changed the balance of the court from five-four to six-three in 2020.
We all know, though, that this won’t happen — and not just because of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Many congressional Democrats would balk at such a dramatic change to an institution that holds a semisacred status in the minds of American liberals. …”
As I pointed out in my response to Thomas Main, the true threat to “our democracy” isn’t really us. It is the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It is the filibuster, Senate, Supreme Court and Electoral College, etc. Progressives have been thwarted because the system is working like it is supposed to.
Remember just a short time ago when these hypocrite snakes told us that that the rulings of counts were sacred, and it didn’t matter what most people thought about it. Courts commanded forced integration, benefits for illegal aliens, and sodomite “marriage,”
Now, as they import a new electorate and rig elections, they endorse pure majority rule. The Founders warned against this kind of government. They called it mob rule and said it would lead to tyranny. Our aspiring tyrants understand this well. They have no consistent principles, only the lust for power.
“The historical and psychological researches of the past century have rendered the theory which lies behind the practice of modern democracy entirely untenable. Reason is not the same in all men; human beings belong to a variety of psychological types separated from one another by irreducible differences.” – A. Huxley – all from https://www.unz.com/article/america-must-die-so-that-the-people-can-live/
“The Law-Order of humanism leads only to anarchy. Lacking absolutes, a humanistic law-order tolerates everything which denies absolutes while warring against biblical faith.” North, Political Polytheism, p. 691.
” The Framers at the Constitutional Convention issued a death warrant against Christianity….the death sentence was officially delivered by the Fourteenth Amendment. It has been carried out with escalating enthusiasm since the 1950’s…To admit the historical truth of 1787-89 would mean that a restoration of so-called “original American Constitutionalism” would change nothing covenantally. The nation would still rest judicially on an APOSTATE COVENANT. [Why?] The text [of the Constitution] categorically prohibits the imposition of the biblical covenant oath in civil law. Let us put it covenantally: what the text of the U.S. Constitution prohibits is covenantal Christianity…. this worldwide legal transformation is the crisis of Western Civilization…” North, Political Polytheism, pp. 691-92,94.
