Christopher Hansen writing from a secure and undisclosed location while recovering from the effects of governemnt tyranny writes:
In ruling in favor of the White firefighters and overruling Obama’s new Supreme Court nominee, federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor, the Court proved again the wisdom of Madison.
And then again our Supreme Court, in a ruling concerning DNA evidence it proved the words of PUBLIUS to be true.
“It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?
“Another effect of public instability is the unreasonable advantage it gives to the sagacious, the enterprising, and the moneyed few over the industrious and uniformed mass of the people. Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue, or in any way affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change, and can trace its consequences; a harvest, reared not by themselves, but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow-citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the FEW, not for the MANY.
“In another point of view, great injury results from an unstable government. …
“But the most deplorable effect of all is that diminution of attachment and reverence which steals into the hearts of the people, towards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity, and disappoints so many of their flattering hopes. No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable, without possessing a certain portion of order and stability.†PUBLIUS. (Madison) Federalist Papers 62
Justice Kennedy wrote the opinion in favor of the White firefighters. Justice Scalia filed concurring opinion. Justice Alito filed concurring opinion joined by Justices Scalia and Thomas. Justice Ginsburg filed dissenting opinion joined by Justices Stevens, Souter, and Breyer.
Got that? 5/4 decision.
Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts wrote the opinion in District Attorney’s Office for Third Judicial Dist. District Attorney’s Office for Third Judicial Dist. v. Osborne 129 S.Ct. 2308
Justice Alito filed concurring opinion, in which Justice Kennedy joined and in which Justice Thomas joined in part. Justice Stevens filed dissenting opinion, in which Justices Ginsburg and Breyer joined, and in which Justice Souter joined in part. Justice Souter filed dissenting opinion.
Got that? 5/4 decision.
When the Justices of the Supreme Court cannot agree as to what the law is by at least a super majority how can the average, “industrious and uniformed mass of the people” have a chance to know what the law is and how it will directly effect them?
Supreme Court justices have accountants prepare 1040 returns and then those same Justices file them not knowing if every material matter is true and correct but only hoping it is. That is perjury.
America, as predicted by Madison has become a nation that is not respected in the world, is not truly respectable as it does not possessing a certain portion of order and stability because laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, and so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
Hence continuous 5/4 6/3 rulings from the High Court.
