What does it say about this Trump character’s Texas lawsuit that even his three appointees wouldn’t even hear the case?
I think we should all stop for a moment and give thanks and perhaps even a modicum of “worship” to the brilliant Founders who had the wisdom to foresee that the Court needed to be independent of political influence and engineered that by making the appointments “lifetime”.
We may not like that we have (at least one, possibly more) Republican-appointed APPARENT rapists serving as Supreme Court justices, but perhaps we should take solace in the observation that the Founders had the wisdom to not give Trump power over them once they are seated.
I’m convinced that had they not had lifetime appointments... had they the fear that opposing Trump might cost them their seats on the Court... the vote might have been quite different.
Most people worship the Constitution without really having much appreciation for its brilliant and prescient engineering. To them, it’s just something that are “taught” to speak reverently about, and so they parrot the reverence without much appreciation for WHY it should be revered.
It is very well-worth your time to learn not just about the Constitution itself, but also the Founders and the attendees of the Constitutional Convention because each one of them is a fascinating character worthy of books, movies and even all-time hit Broadway shows. 🙂.
What does it tell you that the story of Alexander Hamilton is the basis of Broadways biggest hit and hardest “ticket”?
