The Democrats new view on Dogmatic Supreme Court Decisions

Since the 1940s the Supreme Court has been overturning the traditional understanding of the Constitution through a series of rulings that broke with what everyone who lived from the time the Constitution was written until the recent past believed the Constitution said.

From legalizing pornography, declaring abortion to be a Constitutional right, redefining marriage, and declaring fees to be taxes the Court empowered by the leftists concept of the "living" Constitution felt absolutely no need to be consistent with previous court rulings.

But now that leftists fear they may lose their majority on the court they're suddenly demanding that new Justices view all previous court rulings, well at least the ones they like, as written in stone and handed down by God Himself.  Well actually not the later because leftists in general don't care much for God and feel free to "fix" some of the things He taught which are no longer in style.

Roe v. Wade overturned the laws of all 50 states and broke with more than 100 years of judicial precedent but we were told that that was fine.  However if the Supreme Court were to restrict or overturn Roe v. Wade leftists are saying that it would be tyranny.

The reality is that leftists have never been able to impose their agenda on America through the actions of Congress and have had to depend on 5 rich mostly white mostly male lawyers to force American's into the leftists Gulag 2.0.

As such they face the huge problem that if suddenly 5 judges believe that the role of the Court is to interpret law not to make it the entire leftist agenda could come crumbling down.

If leftists had been able to convince the people that their agenda was good they wouldn't be facing this problem.  But since leftism is about fascist power not about the people having power it's natural that leftists gravitated to the most tyrannical option possible.

So now they're adopting the old Communist policy "What is mine is mine, what is yours is open to negotiation."

Rulings that leftists like can't ever be overturned; apparently with respect to those rulings the "living" Constitution has died.  But rulings they don't like, such as Citizens United, can and must be overturned.

Interestingly the leftist approach leaves us with a zombie Constitution, living and dead at the same time.

Let your friends know that the reality is that just as the activist dishonest judges of the last 50 years could overturn the decisions of their predecessors so too can new judges overturn the decisions of those activist judges and return us to a country where the rule of law, and not the tyrannical whims of 5 unelected rich lawyers, is in charge.
