“You seem...to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy…
Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so...and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control…The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.”
Thomas Jefferson
(Stated in a letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820)
Unfortunately, Jefferson’s warning proved to be all too accurate.
Sixty-plus years ago, the progressive, liberal left in America decided the best way, possibly the only way, to impose their will on the American people was not at the ballot box or through the Legislative Branch of our government; it was through the Supreme Court.
To do so, they would only need five of the nine members.
The inappropriate belief that the Supreme Court had supreme power over all government decisions would allow only five unelected people to impose and enforce their will over 300,000,000 Americans! ...
No entity or group has allowed more evil into America than the Supreme Court.
As Phillip Jauregui points out (The Parable of the Prodigal Court) so clearly in this critical book, only five individuals were needed to remove God and His principles from American schools, our government, and the public square. They trampled on constitutional rights, made the right to murder babies the law of the land, and overruled the will of the people in thirty states, who agreed with God that marriage was between one man and one woman.
On June 26, 2015, five Justices decided they had the right to redefine a 6,000-year-old definition of marriage–a definition clearly given by God, mind you–and redefine this covenant He instituted!
Just let that sink in: five people (two of whom had participated in gay wedding ceremonies, yet refused to recuse themselves), arrogantly granted themselves the “authority” to overrule God…and the American people.
The deception and arrogance of this was mind-numbing.

The late Justice Scalia stated, regarding this:
“I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy...
Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court...
“This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied [as it is today] by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776–the freedom to govern themselves…
To allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.”
Regarding this usurpation, Justice Alito said:
“Today’s decision usurps the constitutional right of the people to decide whether to keep or alter the traditional understanding of marriage...
“All Americans, whatever they’re thinking on that issue, should worry about what the majority’s claim of power portends.”
It is time to break this un-constitutional and inappropriate belief that the Supreme Court has supreme power over all government decisions.
The inappropriate belief that the Supreme Court has supreme power over all government decisions allows only five unelected people to impose and enforce their will over 300,000,000 Americans!
