Patrick Buchanan calls them “Our Judicial Dictatorship.” Our Supreme Court and Federal Court judges. Liberal judges are more like tea leaf readers. Something very different from the Tea Party.
While it has been said many times that their duty is to “interpret” the law, they have for decades been interpreting the meaning of “interpret” along the lines of President Bill Clinton’s infamous “What the meaning of is is”?
Like cheesy fortune-tellers who gaze into a cup of wet tea leaves, divining in the patterns whatever they want to see, our judges seem to whisper secret incantations, finding in the Constitution whatever tortured evidence bolsters their ideology.
For example, somehow the Preamble’s “...Promote the general welfare,” is “interpreted” as meaning the Founding Fathers intended for the government to create a bloated, counter-productive welfare system, taking over America’s healthcare system, handing out food stamps to over-fed people, and providing free birth control to a new generation of liberated young women.
On the other hand, “...Maintaining a well-armed militia” means citizens have no right to bear arms for their own protection.
If Leftists don’t like the Constitution the way it was written and intended, they might at least have the honesty to propose amendments and revisions as their judges read them in the tea leaves. Then put it to a vote to change it... if they can. Meanwhile, they could render a great national service by stopping the torture of the Constitution (not to mention the rest of us)!
