Quit Picking on the Supremes!

Just because the Supreme Court makes a decision you don’t like, that doesn’t make it a bad court. 

 

I agree that many justices in the past have allowed their own agendas or their own biases to influence their decisions, but that’s not the way it is supposed to be. When they do things like that, it’s called being an “activist judge.” They are actually charged with taking the facts of the case before them and then applying the Constitution, without regard for their personal prejudices. 

 

Another rule is that you have to have “standing” to be involved in the case at all. In other words, you yourself must have some bonafide skin in the game, or you can’t be a party to the case.   

 

Trump was able to get three Judges on the Court who have a track record of being “Constitutionalists.” But that doesn’t mean you are always going to agree with their rulings. So it is that, contrary to what the Democrats expected, (they thought the right-leaning Court would always rule against their agenda), rulings thus far have made both political parties both angry and happy. 

 

So far, in my opinion and with the exception of Kagan, Sotomayor and Roberts, rulings from the Court have been Constitutionally sound, whether we like them or not.

 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION respectfully submitted.
