As the Republicans, the conservatives, "pocketed" these, Supreme Court Justices, nothing gets, passed, NO same-sex marriages, NO abortion rights, along with, other, debatable, issues that mattered to the people, causing the imbalances, and the unchecked (as opposed to the original checks and balances systems???), from the New York Times, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The conventional critique of the Supreme Court these days is that it has lurched to the right and is out of step with the public on many issues. That is true so far as it goes.
But a burst of recent legal scholarship makes a deeper point, saying the current court is distinctive in a different way: It has rapidly been accumulating power at the expense of every other part of the government.
The phenomenon was documented last November by Mark A. Lemley, a law professor at Stanford University, in an article called "The Imperial Supreme Court" in the Harvard Law Review.
here's the commentaries from the experts off of YouTube, on the "functionality" of the Supreme Court...
"The court has not been favoring one branch of government over another, or favoring states over the federal government, or the rights of the people over governments," Lemley wrote. "Rather, it is withdrawing power from all of them at once."
He added, "It is a court that is consolidating its power, systematically undercutting any branch of government, federal or state, that might threaten that power, while at the same time undercutting individual rights."
The arguments last December over the role of state legislatures in setting rules for federal elections seemed to illustrate the point. The justices seemed ready to elevate their own role in the process, giving themselves the right to do something ordinarily forbidden: second-guess state court'' interpretation of state law.
In a similar vein, Justice Elena Kagan noted the majority's imperial impulses in a dissent from a decision in June that limited the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to address climate change.
"The court appoints itself—instead of Congress or the expert agency—the decision maker on climate policy," she wrote. "I cannot think of many things more frightening."
A second study, to be published in Presidential Studies Quarterly, concentrated on cases involving the executive branch and backed up Lemley's observations with data. Taking account of 3,660 decisions since 1937, the study found that the court led since 2005 by Chief Justice John Roberts has been "uniquely willing to check executive authority."
The executive branch in the Roberts court era won just thirty-five-percent of the time in those cases, a rate more than twenty percentage points lower than the historical average.
So, what this shit says, is that Supreme Court of the U.S. became a sort of a runaway train, setting up ITS own laws, instead of following the already written constitutional rights of the U.S., and, this will cause the split between the three branches, the executive (the presidential office), the legislative (the Congress, the House of Representatives), and the judiciary branches of the government, and, the three will soon be, "MALFUNCTIONING" on their own, each with its own, agenda, to BRING the other two, down, and, the U.S. government will so totally CRACK and fall apart, but hey, that's already happened in the rest of the "outside" world already, so, why not the U.S., the land of the NOT-so-FREE anymore too, huh???
