Why all the Hysteria Over the Recent Supreme Court Nominee - Todd Strandberg -

The people on the political left have lost their minds over the process to replace retiring United States Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Even before Trump had a chance to select Brett Kavanaugh as the prime candidate, Democrats were saying Trump was making the worst possible choice.

 

The conservative Campus Reform made fools out of people at New York University by asking people on campus what they thought of Trump's decision three days before the announcement. Most generally described the decision as a racist move that would start something very negative. Trump was abusing his power by making a choice clearly granted to him by the Constitution.

 

The liberal media were predicting all manner of apocalyptic fallout from the new Justice. One MSNBC reporter claimed this nomination is going to "mean the end of the constitution." Another guest of the network said it will "spell the criminalization of women."

 

The new Supreme Court pick is very "controversial," whoever he or she turned out to be. That was the consensus of ABC's Nightline Twitter page, about 90 minutes before Donald Trump announced the name of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

 

After the announcement of his nomination to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh made it clear that his job was to use the Constitution as his primary guidepost. He stated, "A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent."

 

He later added, "My judicial philosophy is straightforward. A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent. For the past 11 years, I've taught hundreds of students, primarily at Harvard Law School. I teach that the Constitution's separation of powers protects individual liberty."

 

Kavanaugh concluded, "I will tell each senator that I revere the Constitution. I believe that an independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. If confirmed by the Senate, I will keep an open mind in every case, and I will always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States and the American rule of law."

 

The left is going to fight his nomination tooth and nail because it believes a set of leftist beliefs need to be pre-programmed in the interpretation of the Constitution. Gay rights and abortion are claimed to be protected by the document, even though these issues appear nowhere in the text.

 

For 100 years the Supreme Court ruled that slavery was legal. The right of one man to hold another man as his property was upheld by several rulings. This popularity test of the Supreme Court has been a major shortfall of the third branch of government. If you get enough racists on the court, blacks can once again be ruled as the property of slaveholders. All it would take is the ruling of one single justice to override the lessons of the Civil War.

 

The framers of the Constitution would be absolutely shocked to see how powerful the Supreme Court has become in our day. In 1790, there was one Supreme Court judge for every 600,000 Americans. Today, there is one Supreme Court judge for every 35 million Americans. Not even the Soviet Politburo managed that level of non-representation.

 

The Supreme Court has been a very useful tool in implementing the leftist agenda. The Gay marriage act became the rule of the law because of a single vote in the Supreme Court. In the house, you need to get a majority vote in both houses to pass a law that says two people of the same sex can get married. By going to the Supreme Court, a minority group can make any political fad a reality.

 

The Democratic Party has already proven that it is fixated on fantasies of tyrannical rule by openly talking about impeaching President Trump without any charges. At least one congressman wants to extend that option to the Supreme Court. Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison said that a Democratic Congress could impeach a Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice. I'm sure Ellison is for impeaching Republican members of Congress.

 

I don't think the addition of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court will make any difference. Whenever conservatives have an upper hand in the court, they always respect previous liberal rulings. Whenever there is a liberal majority, they always expand the power of the court. The next time Democrats have a majority in the Senate, I expect them to approve judges that will rob us of our liberties. It is my prayer that God will keep them frustrated right up to the day of the rapture.
