Something to ponder on the Fourth of July

Justice Scalia Warns that SCOTUS Majority Worse than the 1776 Brits - Breitbart

When the Supreme Court ceases acting like a judicial body and instead
usurps the power to enact legislation, as it did in its infamous June
26 ruling, it radically oversteps its mandate and is worthy of nothing
but scorn.

“The strikingly unrepresentative character of the body voting on
today’s social upheaval would be irrelevant if they were functioning as
judges,” Scalia continued. “But of course the Justices in today’s
majority are not voting on that basis.”

“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,” he said.

The problem with independence and self-rule is that they are always fragile, and if not defended, can just as easily be lost.
