It is interesting to see exactly what they framers of the constitution set up. I would dare say what we do now isnt what they proposed.

By a virtual oligarchy in that case..

We were damn close to having the queen of all crooks, Hillary Clinton, offer access to the office of the president in exchange for donations to the "clinton foundation". She should be in jail, but that will never happen because she is protected by the other crooked people.

The FBI should just be closed down instead of ICE. FBI is just too crooked to be saved. DOJ isnt far behind it at all.

And the special "destroyer" should be fired and jailed for wasting our money on protecting Hillary and destroying Trump

There isnt philosophy behind the Constitution. Its based on some sort of "god", and its not intellectually consistent. You would never get an objectivist judge to agree to be on the supreme court to uphold the constitution, as it isnt something that an objectivist philosopher would agree is an objectivist based document.

But when the supreme court gives an opinion, its got the last work on legal proceedings, so it might as well be ruling.

I wouldnt go by things that Napolitano says. He is mostly liberal in his thinking. Shouldnt be on FOX at all

Thank you for posting, sir.

What a pleasure to read. Not just for the content, which I agree with, but for the clarity and succinctness of the writing. Very rare, indeed.

Some days when the world seems totally crazy (the days that end in "Y"?)...I retreat to sanity by reading a little Rand or Mises for this kind of clear writing.

And perhaps some subtle, or not, humor: it took me awhile to notice the clearly intentional spelling of "supreme Court". Perfect.

And, as Mr. Dino said: I learned a whole lot, and had a lot of my own preconceptions about "The Supremes" clarified and corrected.

better yet to nominate a Justice who is an Objectivist philosopher...Kavanaugh has not demonstrated an understanding of the philosophy behind the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution...neither have any of the other Justices...such a philosophical Justice would be one way to complete the revolution of freedom, liberty, and justice for the future history of individualism...

Today me dino encountered a quite a revelation.
Throughout my 71 years on this planet of the apes, me dino has been programmed to view the Supreme Court as an oligarchy of nine who makes rulings on what is the law of the land without those exact words being entered into any of my thoughts, of course.
Up until now, I've equated "Supreme Court opinions" with "Supreme Court rulings."
Thanks, AjAhinoff, for using that article to open this old dino's eyes.
This is another example of learning neat stuff why me dino loves to hang out in The Gulch.

Great article! Thanks for sharing!

The author nails it: Judges under the Constitution are not permitted to "legislate from the bench". If Congress wants to pass a statute legalizing Supreme Court opinions, that is the proper way to create laws - not simply to refer to a Court opinion as justification for action.

Part of me wants to see Trump propose (Garland) Obamas pick for Ginsberg. AND THEN HAVE THE RIGHT do EVERYTHING That the LEFT just did. In an absolute disgusting display of unhinged politics. Of course, voting him down.
Then have someone contrast the news coverage! LOL

I find this really sad. It reminds me of being in a place where graft is so common that people don't see anything wrong with it. In this case it's not graft but politics. I think people want justice to be blind, but most people have given up on that.

Kudos to KrisAnn Hall for getting to the most important issue.

No one has vetted Kavanaugh on this issue except Judge Napolitano, and he concluded that Kavanaugh is not a good choice based upon lack of respect for the Bill of Rights in his decisions.
I hope he is rejected by the con-gress and that Trump has his real, constitutional choice waiting in the wings.

Sadly, you are correct. If its not compressed into a 6 second sound-byte far too many will never pay attention long enough to get it. Even so, the info is out there for those few who choose to look.
