Supreme Court expansion is not the answer
Letter to the Editor, Portside.org
May I suggest that
We have heard about the “Rule of Law” While we are told that we do not have Kings or Dictators we are told that we have 3 Branches of Government which are still people who take on the Power of Kings and Dictators.
We are FIRST the Rule of Law and then we have 3 Branches of Government that FOLLOW the Rule of Law.
What we have is 5 members of the Supreme Court who KNOW the Rule of Law and Who have been called out by the 4 other members for their FAILURE to follow the Rule of Law. BUT the 4 have not called for the impeachment of the 5 for their FAILURE to follow the Rule of Law.
In the current case While the citizens of the United States have a RIGHT to a medical procedure called an abortion the citizens of Texas by order of the 5 members of the Supreme Court have chosen to violate the Rule of Law in its most basic manner By no logic can part of the citizens of the US have a different Rule of Law than any other part of the citizens of the US.
The 5 MUST be impeached as they will ALWAYS be a STAIN on the rest of the Court They have debased themselves and as long as they are on the Court they debase the Court itself!
Yes it will take lots of work to explain to the citizens of the US why this is BUT that is the only way out of the mess we are in.
To explain in detail that we are a nation of Laws and it is the Laws that have the POWER and not the elected officials who sole duty is to use those Laws to govern us the citizens.
It should be noted that it took 4000+ Lynching and 154 years BEFORE a Federal Law was passed making it a Federal Crime to kill someone by Lynching. It should also be noted that NO STATE ever charged anyone for those 4000+ murders – by lynching
It should also be noted that the Constitution of the United States is STILL STAINED by
Article 1 Section 2 “Representatives …… shall be apportioned ……. by adding the whole number of free persons…. three fifths of all other Persons.
That NO ONE, in the now, 154 years have felt any need to Pass an Amendment that expunges removes this STAIN on the VERY LAW that enables ALL other Laws that becomes the “Rule of Law”
Peace
