(17,301 posts)But ever since 2000, the Supremes have been overturning laws left and right with the only commonality being that they favor huge corporations and make suffer the average working person.
The Supremes do this because they are taking bribes from huge corporations or organizations ruled and funded by those corporations. Oh we don't call them bribes but that is what the Supremes do when they take speaking engagements, let their wives be paid by huge corporations with interests in front of the court (and not report it for decades), accept funding to their favorite charity, and get all expenses paid free vacations to exotic places for speaking to partisan groups.
The Supremes use to be somewhat restrained and tried to cloak their decisions with bad logic and precedent. But not anymore. I really don't care if they rule slightly liberal or extremely conservative. They should not legislating from the bench and they have no constitutional support for this.
They get away with it because Americans are not real bright and rarely protest. Also the very weak legislative and executive branches that should be reining them in are doing nothing to stop them.
The legislative branch should be restricting the cases the Supremes can rule upon. They should also be prosecuting the 9 judges when they violate law and common ethics. The executive branch should be refusing to abide by the Supremes sweeping legislation and call their decisions out as merely applicable in the single cases they ruled upon. Judaical Review has always been suspect. It is just now much more blatantly obvious that these judges mean to be kings of America, no matter how badly the majority of people suffer.
