Dear Friends,
It seems to me that regardless of where you stand on abortion, when the Supreme Court enacted Roe v Wade they broke the Constitution. Just like a sufficiently strong force breaking the foundation of a house. No matter how small the break the ramifications are profound. Some more clever person may find an earlier break than 1973 but this seems to me to be the event.
Nonetheless, the Constitution, is broken. By broken I mean that the Constitution means nothing today. Because it means whatever the hell five unelected Lawyers say it means. It was changed outside the proscribed means. They now have the freedom to change it willy nilly. Allow it to “grow” like a “Living breathing document.“ All they need to do, is make up of whole cloth, some new meaning. One that every honest person knows the founding fathers would have been aghast at. Remember the barn wall in Animal Farm?
The problem with a break in a foundation to a house is that as time goes by it always gets worse. Water starts to seep in and the floors are always wet. Soon the crack gets wider. Dirt and bugs are next. After awhile if the crack is not sufficiently fixed one or the other wall will cave in and the foundation will not be usable anymore. The house will collapse. (If a house needs a lot of outside shoring it is a good sign the foundation is bad). No amount of spin can hide that reality. It happened in Rome and it will eventually happen to us. The time table is all we can control.
Now the Courts are ordering the Executive and the Legislative branches around. No one balks at the overarching power the Supreme Court has taken on. Even the other Branches are ceding more power to it. The Supreme Court is no longer the protector of the Constitution, it is now the protector, and rewriters of it. That should make us all scared.
No matter how much you agree with how they are changing it today…
you may not like how they rewrite it tomorrow…
But they were already given the power…
Regardless the ills to follow…
