Radical Right Wing Supreme Court “Justices” Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are citing the Comstock Act of 1873 impose a nationwide ban on abortion medication.

The Comstock Act of 1873, is a relic statute from a bygone era regulating public morality, which hasn’t been enforced since the 1930s, says Sen. Smith. ‘It’s rooted in the Victorian era idea that the government should be the morality police.’

 

Arizona’s 1864 abortion ban is the kind of ‘history and tradition’ that Samuel Alito and the Radical Right Wing Supreme Court have brought to the 21st

“William Claude Jones spent his life wielding his power over women and over girls and their bodies with complete tyrannical domination,” says Chris Hayes on the man behind the Arizona abortion ban. “And that is exactly the kind of ‘history and tradition’ that Samuel Alito and the Supreme Court have brought back to the 21st century.”

 

The United States Supreme Court is a Illegitimate Kangaroo Court because 5 of the Justices, were appointed by Republicans Presidents who were not elected to office by the majority of Americans. These partisan ideologues “Justices” were selected solely because they were expected to rule against key issues such as “Roe Venus Wade” which Republicans wanted stricken down.

 

This Incompetent & Illegitimate Supreme Court has in recent years made horrible decisions such as “Bush Versus Gore” stopping the vote count & handing the 2000 election to Bush on a silver platter, “Citizens United”, striking down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, “Roe Venus Wade” overturning the right for women to have an abortion and failing to strike down the Texas “Heartbeat” Law which bans abortions in Texas and turns Anti-Abortion Zealots into Bounty Hunters.

Two (2) “Justices” were installed by George W. Bush who LOST the 2000 election by 543,895 votes and Three (3) “Justices” were installed by Donald Trump who LOST by 2.8 Million votes.

 

Trump’s 1st Supreme Court Nominee, Neil Gorsuch is a illegitimate “Justice” who obtained his seat by theft from Obama’s Nominee, Merrick Garland

 

Advise & Consent Clause of the Constitution Violated by Mitch McConnell & Republicans

Obama was President when Antonin Scalia died. Obama chose Merrick Garland as Scalia’s replacement but Republicans violated their constitutional duty by refusing to provide “Advise & Consent” and held Scalia’s seat open for almost a year, blocking President Obama’s pick Merrick Garland. This was an outrageous and despicable power grab by Mitch McConnell & Republicans.

When Trump became President, he appointed Neil Gorsuch, who obtained his seat by theft, due to Republicans blocking Obama’s nominee, so Gorsuch is without question, an illegitimate “Justice”. Gorsuch seat rightly belongs to Merrick Garland.

Ex-Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kushner explains how when Mitch McConnell & Republicans refused to provide Advise & Consent to President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Obama should have told Merrick Garland to take his seat in the Supreme Court.

Since Mitch McConnell & Republicans refused to provide Advise & Consent, any legal challenges would have likely failed, so the Supreme Court today would be 5 to 4 Radical Right Wingers instead of 6 – 3.

 

Republicans have hijacked the highest court in the land. First, they stole a Supreme Court seat from President Obama. Then, they changed a 70-year old rule to install two of Donald Trump’s far-right justices and confirmed Brett Kavanaugh despite credible allegations that he committed sexual assault and lied under oath.

Now, the politicized Supreme Court is enacting a far-right, partisan agenda that favors corporate interests and Republican Party special interests. Reproductive freedom, civil rights, environmental justice, common sense gun safety laws, and our right to vote are all at risk. And the Court has eroded confidence in our system of government with ethical lapses and lack of transparency.

 

‘Politicians in Robes’: How the right-wing Supreme Court is mounting a power grab

 

 

Supreme Court Justices should be appointed by Presidents who were elected to office by the majority of Americans so their viewpoints reflects the majority. That has NOT been the case due to the Electoral College, which made Republicans Bush & Trump President (who received less votes than their opponent)… and the Senate, which doesn’t represent the majority.

The roots of America’s democracy problem

 

The Senate Is Rigged for Republicans

The Senate does not represent the Majority and is rigged for Republicans because Red States like Wyoming which has a small population get as much say a California or New York, with huge populations.

According to 2018 Census Bureau estimates, more than half of the US population lives in just nine states. That means that much of the nation is represented by only 18 senators. Less than half of the population controls about 82 percent of the Senate.

This UNEQUAL Representation is another reason why the United States Ranks 25th as a “Flawed Democracy”.

Samuel Alito Quotes 1600s to Justify Outlawing Abortions

Samuel Alito reaches back to legal writings in 17th century England to show that the right to abortion services is not deeply rooted in our history. He cites Sir Edward Cook, writing in 1644 that abortion is a crime.

In the draft Supreme Court opinion that will live in infamy, Samuel Alito says, on page one, the Constitution makes no mention of abortion. The Constitution, also, makes no mention of the right to travel. The government has never granted us the right to travel. Yet, we have always had it.

Roe versus Wade links the right to abortion services, to the right to privacy, which we, also, assumed that we have, but the Constitution does not mention a right to privacy, and Samuel Alito, and the majority of the Supreme Court, don`t believe that you have a right to privacy. They believe that they have a right to privacy. It was the first time, in its history, has ordered an investigation of the very worst thing that has ever happened to the Supreme Court. The court`s privacy has been invaded.

The chief justice calls the violation of the court`s privacy, quote, egregious breach of trust. And that`s how the Supreme Court feels when they lose their privacy, it`s egregious for them. But they don`t care how you feel when they take your privacy away. The private deliberations of the Supreme Court have been invaded by the leak of the Alito first draft of the revocation of a constitutional right. Samuel Alito says that a right to abortion services is not, quote, deeply rooted in this nation`s history.

Women on the Supreme Court are not deeply rooted in this nation`s history. Nowhere does the Constitution say that women can serve on the Supreme Court. Nowhere does the constitution say that Black people can serve on the Supreme Court.

The Founders thought only white men should ever serve on the Supreme Court. The Founders were the original proponents of affirmative action exclusively for white men. The Founders deeply and fervently believed in carrying out the mass murder of as many members of the native tribes of this continent and enslaving as many Black people as was necessary for white men to reign supreme in this land. That is deeply rooted in this nation`s history.

If you are using “deeply rooted in this nation`s history” as the basis for what you think is right and just and you are lost. You are morally lost. Samuel Alito reaches back to legal writings in 17th century England to show that the right to abortion services is not deeply rooted in our history. He cites Sir Edward Cook, writing in 1644 that abortion is a crime.

In 1644, in England, they were still having witch trials ending in the execution of the convicted witches, and Sir Edward Cook helped English law define which is when he rewrote English law in 1604 to make it even more cruel in witchcraft trials. He wrote a witch is a person who hath conference with the devil to consult with him or to do some act.

So, Samuel Alito is quoting approvingly the 1644 judgment on abortion of an English aristocrat who said a witch is a person who has conference with the devil. Samuel Alito is reaching back four centuries to use Sir Edward Cook, as a moral authority on abortion, a man who believed in witches and believed they were working with the devil and believed that witches should be murdered by the state and he helped make sure that they were murdered by the state in England.

REPUBLICAN APPOINTED “Justices” Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito

 

 

Justices of the Supreme Court should be allowed to serve for a maximum of 12 years. NO ONE should be guaranteed a job for life. Anyone appointed should be non-political and not affiliated with any political party.

The US Supreme Court has proven that it is not “Just”. Proof is how they almost always vote down party lines. This underscores how flawed our justice system is in general.

The US Supreme Court has become nothing more than a tool to force political policies of minority Republicans down the majority of American people’s throats.

We need a Supreme Court that can be trusted to be fair, nonpolitical, and ethical. We need to reform the Supreme Court.
