Ted Cruz is really upset about the Supreme Court's decision on gay marriages.
My libertarian position is that neither federal, nor state governments should have any business whatsoever being involved with marriages. So the Supreme Court's decision is really just a case of the big thug kicking around the little thugs.
Create a group of thugs and it's inevitable that they'll keep consolidating into bigger and bigger oppressors.
But back to Cruz...
Ted says:
“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.”Ahh yes, the tyranny of the majority. Ted doesn't like it (in this case).
But guess what Cruz's solution to the problem is?
“A remedy is needed that will restore health to the sick man in our constitutional system," he continued. “Rendering the Justices directly accountable to the people would provide such a remedy.”Cruz wants the majority of Americans to decide who stays, and who goes, as a Supreme Court Justice.
It's like watching a dog chase its tail.
Apparently Cruz doesn't see the folly of his thinking.

Tyranny Ted wants to baptize this country into a Judeo-Christian fascism that would revive things like De Heretico Comburendo to scare dissidents into complete silence.
ReplyDeleteI have long contended that the greatest folly regarding the federal government was the states allowing the Supreme Court to arbitrate questions about the meaning of the Constitution (a clear conflict of interests, no?). What the states should have done, and what might have allowed the US to remain a true federation, would be a Constitutional Court where the states assign members to determine the constitutionality of decisions made by the branches of the federal government. Nineteen thirteen saw the end of the US as a federation. Would such a court have allowed the fed income tax to exist, making the states beggars for handouts?
