I AM GOING TO HOLD the next section of Louis Boudin's discussion of the utter and complete corrupt origin of the Supreme Court's usurped power to nullify Congressionally passed laws and to amend the Supreme Court in the Court, not only because I fixed several embarrassing typos I missed in editing but because I'm hoping more people read him laying out how the Court broke its own rules and even the rules of logic to give itself the power to nullify the Missouri Compromise Act - I say hoping to use that power to prevent any subsequent laws that limited or abolished slavery.
I say what the Roberts Court did in its nullification of the Voting Rights Act is just their beginning to do something like what I think the Taney court majority planned to do, use their usurped power to go farther and farther in their attack on equality and, in fact, democracy. The Court taking it upon themselves the roles of the Congress, the president and a super-majority of the States was certainly not done for anything good, it is exactly that power which the Roberts Court used to nullify the most significant effort to make good on the promises of the Declaration of Independence and the preamble to the Constitution of the United States, that fact alone proves that is, in fact, the effect of that most vile decision of the Court which has not been entirely or even effectively nullified by the Civil War and amendments to the Constitution by earlier Congresses , presidents and a super-majority of of the States to have something like a more perfect union.
The extraordinary speech that the racist, fascist, court packing Mitch McConnell made in defense of the criminal Clarence Thomas yesterday proves the case that the Supreme Court is, in fact, the foremost vehicle for the corruption of our politics and the worst enemy of democracy among the various branches, EVEN WORSE THAN THE MOST OBVIOUS DANGER, THE EXECUTIVE. The President has to be elected, even under the abominable Electoral College, the Supreme Court, once in place, is taken out only by death or the decision of the potentate in black robes, themselves. And, as our recent sad experience has shown, even the best and the wisest of them can disastrously mistime their leaving if their better intentions being protected is their real purpose.
No, Mitch McConnell wants to protect the corruptly placed Federalist-fascist majority he has created as the Roberts Court because it will do what he can't do while he is in charge of the Senate, it will make law and knock down law to the same evil ends that a Mitch McConnell wants, INCLUDING THE PROMOTION AND PROTECTION OF PRE-CIVIL RIGHTS ERA AMERICAN APARTHEID. And in Clarence Thomas's twisted, psychopathic mind, he has someone who is a certain servant of the same power that McConnell not only serves, but is also a member of.
If anything, the case I've been making, building on that of Louis Boudin, is a mild one. The evils of subsequent courts using the power that the Dred Scott decision created and the sometimes inept attempt of the Warren Court to wield it for the good, are like a roadmap of the corruption that has plagued us, making the promises of that more perfect union providing equal rights and protection from our enemies domestic as well as foreign ring empty.
It's well past time that we all insist on that promissory note issued in 1776 be made good on, as long as the Supreme Court can keep corrupt money in our politics on the basis of the First Amendment and nullify laws to ensure equality in voting and issuing outrages such as Bush v Gore that paper is worthless.
