By Matt Underwood The Supreme Court is failing at its most important job: upholding the Constitution and ensuring justice. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the current court isn’t acting in good faith, and is veering towards a dangerous path that prioritizes partisan politics over the fundamental principles upon which this nation was built.
The justices appear to be flirting with an expansive view of executive power, potentially enabling an unaccountable White House. This approach undermines the crucial role the founders intended for Congress, as outlined in Article I of the Constitution. The court has seemed far more lenient towards claims of executive power under certain presidents, even when compared to the approach taken towards other administrations. This perceived favoritism and the inconsistency in application of legal principles is deeply concerning.
The court is overlooking evidence that casts doubt on the integrity of those in power. In the past, the government benefited from the “presumption of regularity,” where the courts assumed officials presented facts accurately and acted with genuine reasons. This presumption seems to be eroding, with the court’s decisions often aligning with a particular political agenda. The court appears to be acting as a lever of power, prioritizing specific outcomes and engaging in legal gymnastics to justify decisions. This approach raises serious questions about the impartiality and objectivity of the justices.
The court’s actions suggest a willingness to dismantle any institutions or processes that threaten the dominance of a particular political faction. It’s not a matter of following the Constitution; rather, it’s about achieving a pre-determined outcome, and manipulating the law to justify it. This is a profound departure from the expected practice of jurisprudence. It appears as though the court is working on behalf of those who appointed them, serving their interests over the interests of the nation as a whole.
The consequences of this failure are far-reaching. The court’s actions undermine the very foundations of democracy, potentially leading to state capture and the erosion of fundamental rights. The concentration of power in the executive branch, coupled with the court’s apparent endorsement of such power, poses a significant threat to the balance of government envisioned by the founders.
The concerns extend to the perceived influence of external groups, the potential for bribery, and the stacking of the court through appointments. These issues raise questions about the integrity of the judicial process and the motivations of the justices. The court’s decisions may be serving the interests of those who appointed them, not the interests of justice or the Constitution.
The court’s failure to address crucial issues and its apparent bias have led to a crisis of confidence. The court has ignored evidence of bad faith and undermined the principle of fairness. This has resulted in a system where the laws are not applied equally.
Many believe that the court is failing at the most fundamental job of its existence. It’s not just about failing to be fair or impartial. It’s about actively undermining the principles of the nation. It’s a fundamental betrayal of the trust placed in them. The current justices are, in effect, serving the agenda of those who appointed them.
The court’s decisions, in cases involving issues of crucial importance, appear to be guided by political motives rather than legal principles. Their decisions reflect a pre-determined outcome with the legal reasoning manufactured to support those outcomes. Some would say the Supreme Court has already failed, and has been failing for decades. It’s vital that we address the root causes of this crisis and work towards restoring the court’s integrity and credibility.
