Assertion: Only judges who follow the letter (if not the spirit or intent) of the Constitution should receive the support of American Patriots, their Congressmen, and their Senators. Those who seek to legislate from the bench should be identified and removed from it.
Why This Is Important: The importance of the Rule of Law and legal precedent cannot be overstated. Further, it is our judgment that the farther we as a Nation stray from the fundamental principles outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America, the more difficult it becomes to save our republic as it was intended. Especially whereas the Supreme Court of the United Sates receives its power from the Constitution, it should and must remain beholden to its core values, particularly as regards the “balance of power” between the three branches of government.
Constitutional Basis: Article III, Section II grants power to the SCOTUS over all cases “arising under this Constitution” and to all citizens in all matters ranging from state to state and from sea to shining sea.
Quote: “Extraordinary conditions do not create or enlarge Constitutional power.” – Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Schecter v. United States
