What can be done when the Supreme
Court of the United States is above the law and interprets the written
constitution of the United States in whatsoever way it likes? Some justices
interpret the constitution and the laws as they are written and appear to
reasonable observers, and as they were intended or believed to be intended by
those who wrote them. Other, more modern and liberal judges believe that the
Court may interpret the constitution as if it were an abstract work of art and
its meaning was largely subjective. That practice is corrupt.
Interpreting the constitution as
strictly as the founders meant it, or as the writers of amendments to the
constitution intended them is required for those that support and work for equal
protection of the law within legal constitutional parameters. To do otherwise
is to place oneself above the law and the constitution and usurp the role of
the legislature in making laws. What can be done about Supreme Court justices
that place themselves above and beyond the laws of the constitution they were
employed to enforce?
The answer is contingent upon how
far they have corrupted the interpretation of the law to serve their special
interests. If impeachment no longer works or laws have otherwise been so
deformed as to preclude legal remedies, then extraordinary measures may be
necessary to restore just and righteous interpretation of the laws of the
constitution as it was written.
So far the laws have been
deformed only to a limited extent. The ascension to the high court of a
constructionist justice recently may forestall the further deformation of legal
interpretation of the constitution that is designed to benefit odd special
interests.
