“In my opinion, Chief Justice Roberts put it best during his recent confirmation hearings. And he said, and I quote, "The framers were not the sort of people, having fought a revolution to get the right of self-government to sit down and say, 'Well, let's take all the difficult issues before us and let's have the judges decide them.' That would have been the farthest thing from their mind," however, I fear that the Supreme Court forgets this advice.” PeopleMindWellsHas BeensSaidSelfGovernmentDifficultJusticeForgetOpinionIssuesAdviceJudgingRevolutionDown AndCourtHearingSupremeChiefsSupreme CourtConfirmationSelf-governmentFramersChief Justice Author:Mike DeWine

“The Supreme Court is about the Constitution. It is about constitutionality. It is about the law. At its bear simplest, it's about the law. It is not about the Democrat Party agenda. Because that's what it's become. The whole judiciary has become that because that's the kind of people they have put on various courts as judges, and every liberal justice on the Supreme Court is a social justice warrior first and a judge of the law second. And if they get one more, then they will have effectively corrupted the Supreme Court.” PeopleKindJusticePartyJudgingConstitutionSocial JusticeDemocratVariousWarriorSupreme CourtJudiciary Author:Rush Limbaugh
