The Tapestry by Dr Deborah Herodes - Courting the Justices

One can certainly tell it’s “Ruth”less

As everyone knows, who pays one bit of attention to the news, the Supreme Court of the United States of America is tripping on their robes and Constitutional issues.  The “come to Jesus” moment has arrived at the doors of many politicians, and now sits confidently on the stoops of these Justices. Although Justices are appointed by Presidents, they are supposed to be non-partisan in their judgments, and at least, be smarter than an ordinary American. They are to follow the Constitution, and not try to skirt issues brought to them, or enact laws, which affect millions and millions of people, which are highly partisan, just to keep the peace and their palms greased with “the other side.”   

Republicans, Democrats…blah! blah! blah!  I am so weary of hearing about people who vote their party line, despite what candidates are running.  It matters because, the President, in power, is the one who selects the Supreme Court Justices. The House and the Senate, depending upon who the majority party belongs to, can literally STOP legislation of just about everything, by voting Republican or Democratic, instead of their consciences.  The House of Representatives, in the last four years, has literally done nothing!  It has brought up issues like naming an airport after the Republican candidate running for President, and they have brought about the idea of creating of a five-hundred-dollar bill, with the same Republican Presidential candidate’s picture on it.  PLEASE…WHAT DO THESE HAVE TO DO WITH THE BORDER, OR SO MANY OTHER AMERICAN CONCERNS? Is a face on a 500-dollar bill going to solve our climate crisis?  Is a new airport named for a person going to solve the problem of gas prices? 

The Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life, unless of course they step down.  There is no aging out and until now, there is no real “kick out of the chamber” law on the books for firing a Justice.  Thank goodness for the “honest media,” that continues to report on the perks these Justices have illegally received, while they have supposedly overseen justice and constitutional correctness. Corruption in the Supreme Court has now become a known problem in our country. Justice Alito and his counterpart, Justice Thomas are perhaps the two Justices that all of America needs to kick off their platforms.  Thomas has had his problems since his appointment.  Since his appointment, he has been given gifts in the millions column.  All knew, no one said a word.  Alito, in concert with his wife, are flying non-American, insurrection flags on their private properties, and has also been given pricey gifts from his followers!  

With everything in flux in the USA, the Supreme Court needs an overhaul, with some new laws governing it. The overturn of Roe vs Wade has certainly denied women of rights that belong to them.  The newest “gun overturn,” although it was cleverly disguised, has allowed machine guns back in the hands of whomever.  America now lies stunned that our own Supreme Court has approved Absolute Immunity for the President, along with some questionable language when it cannot be applied.  In addition, Chevron has also been overturned, and now the Justices will make decisions based upon their own expertise.  Last time I checked none of them were physicians.

So, where do we go from here?  Calling them out, will do nothing to remove them.  Agreeing with all the decisions is no doubt disastrous for women, for children and for our climate and medical needs.  To vote in a partisan manner is not what they swore to do, but they did it anyway.

Shame on the Supreme Court for even agreeing to hear or consider such requests.  Regarding the Supreme Court being smarter than the average American person, it’s not…we see you!
