SCOTUS

There is one extreme idea out there that I would like to embrace. The following quote from TIME spurred me to share it with you. . .again. And, while there is great confidence on my part that there are a zillion (give or take) reasons why it will never be, a fellow can dream. . .can’t he? Please note that there is a wide variety of cases that would serve as examples, but this is the one that popped up on my computer as I prepared for my day following a super 4th of July.

“And while Stephens and her lawyers were expecting legal hiccups, Justice Anthony Kennedy’s announcement last week that he was retiring from the Supreme Court at the end of the month puts Stephens’s case and other future LGBTQ-related cases in a precarious place, lawyers and advocates tell TIME. Kennedy was a crucial swing vote, particularly when it came LGBTQ rights-related cases — and most notably cast the deciding vote for the landmark 2015 decision that made same sex-marriage legal in the U.S.”  (TIME)

Our Nation will forever be struggling with the Supreme Court of the United States when it is clear that decisions issued by that Court are based not on a clear, untarnished, unfiltered, non-prejudicial view of the United States Constitution. Additionally (and I told you this is an “extreme view”), Justices of the Court should base their finding in the Scriptures (see John 8:32) on which our great America was founded.

The reality is (in my opinion) that to one degree or another, the Justices are corrupted by politics, pressures resulting from Congress, the President, the electorate (even though they are not elected and have lifetime appointments) and hard-nosed zealots like me.

We should not have any concern about which President appoints the Justices. Every candidate (and it ought to include every Judge everywhere) should be “above reproach” with the entire Nation confident that they will rule in favor of strict Constitutional guidelines and unadulterated Truth.

My personal opinion is that every vote should be unanimous. The Constitution only “says one thing,” and the Truth is “only one thing.” We need men and women who can determine that. . .and that alone. What prohibits such if those on the Court are the finest legal scholars, unbiased, unfettered, and subject to no political agenda?

I submit to you that there exists 9-0 decisions. How do the Justices arrive at that? Enough said!
