Kavanaugh: Roe must stand

(Discussing Roe v. Wade)

Judge Kavanaugh: “When the Supreme Court issues a constitutional ruling …”
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “… then you can only change that by a constitutional amendment?”
Kavanaugh: “That’s the case.”

​In other words, Kavanaugh is a stone-cold judicial supremacist, one who worships at the idol of judicial precedent, and has absolutely no intention of “overturning Roe v. Wade.” He’s already told you straight out that he thinks that he can’t.

Thomas Jefferson strongly disagreed with those who think like this judge:

“You seem … to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. … The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.” (Letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820)

“Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. ... The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” (Letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804)

Get the scales off your eyes. Anyone who thinks that a judicial precedent that has robbed tens of millions of innocents of their God-given, unalienable, equal right to live is binding on anybody has absolutely no real conception of the true basis of law and justice. They have no more business on the supreme court than an arsonist has running the fire department.

There is no real moral difference between a judge claiming he has to countenance the continued slaughter of tens of millions of innocent babies because some prior supreme court said so and the German Nazis who tried to justify their own atrocities by claiming that they had no choice but to obey the Fuehrer’s orders. At Nuremberg, such pleadings fell of deaf ears. And it’s high time we stopped listening to such wicked nonsense today.

To the judicial supremacist, five tyrants in black robes are the only thing standing between them and complete despotism. But under the constitutional system actually devised and ratified by our founders, there are courts, and executive department officers, and legislators, at all levels of governance, all sacredly sworn to support and defend our constitutions, regardless of what any other officer or branch may or may not do. In other words, there are checks and balances built in to assure that despotism can never take hold.

Bad judges are only a small part of the problem. The biggest problem of all lies with executives and legislators who place the illogical, unreasonable, immoral, unconstitutional opinions of bad judges over their own sworn obligations to support and defend our constitutions.

The Supreme Court is supreme only over the inferior courts. That’s it. They are not supreme over the other branches of government. They are not supreme over the Constitution of the United States. They are not supreme over the laws of nature and nature’s God. To put it simply, they are not above the law.
