The U.S. Supreme Court really wrapped up this year’s session with a series of bangs.  And that whining sound you hear is coming from denizens of the Left, who are apoplectic over Court decisions with which they do not agree.  In point of fact, the Democrat Regressive/Progressives have lost what’s left of their minds, and are vowing to destroy the nine member Supreme Court, and replace it with an 11, 13, or 15 member Court that will do their Socialist bidding.  They have nothing but supreme contempt for the law.  This is typical.  Any part of our government or our Constitution with which they disagree must be destroyed.   The reason for this is the oft-mentioned Leftist mental disorder known as Delusions of Rectitude.  They’re convinced that any thought that comes into their heads is right, therefore any differing opinion must be wrong, extremist, and “a threat to our democracy.”  The Left has one remedy for dissent – scorched Earth.  All dissenters must be denounced, insulted, lied about, fired, destroyed and character assassinated.  This, of course is ironic, since the wingnuts who now make up the Progressive leadership grew up in the 1960’s, during which time they exhorted their followers to “challenge authority.”  When they became the “authority” all that changed.  Now, if they don’t win an election or a Court case, “our democracy is threatened.”  They actually have said that if the voters elect Republicans in the upcoming elections “democracy is at risk.”  Of course, a system in which the voters are free to choose their leaders is the very definition of democracy, and not a threat thereto, but no matter.  These people are brain-damaged.  They went off the rails when the Supreme Court decided the New York gun permit case.  In that case, the Court ruled that the New York requirement that a legal gun owner must prove special need for a carry permit violates the Second Amendment.  The decision was that, if you have been licensed to possess a gun, that permission extends to possession in those public places where gun possession has not been specifically prohibited (like schools, courts, etc.).  Leftists like NY Governor Hochel and NY Mayor Adams fumed that having more guns on the street would lead to more gun crimes.  Of course, this is nonsense.  The current strict gun laws in NY have not deterred gun crimes.  Shootings and murders are up 30 to 40% in the past several years.  And any politician who thinks the gun violence problem is the fault of people who legally possess guns is an imbecile.  They can’t be that stupid, so they must be lying.  As a prosecutor for 25 years, and having practiced criminal law for 42 years, crimes committed with a legally possessed gun are extremely rare.  Gun crimes committed with illegally possessed guns, and mostly by previously convicted felons who are prohibited from possessing any weapon are running at epidemic proportions.  If I have to say this again, criminals don’t obey the law.  Machine guns have been illegal since 1934, and there are more automatic weapons on the street today than Al Capone ever dreamed of having.  And the drive-by shootings being perpetrated in places like Chicago every day are not being committed by legal gun owners, but by teenage and young male thug gang members who have no regard for the value of human life.  The Left knows this, but won’t do anything about those guns.  They’re mad because they don’t think they’re supposed to lose any case in the Supreme Court.  They view the Court as their means to adopt policies that lack majority support in the legislature.  So, better to blame Clarence Thomas for his decision.  The overturn of Roe v. Wade was next.  The Left exploded with a “day of rage.”  Crowds of women expressed outrage and threatened to withhold sex.  As most of the protestors were so repulsive that no man would want to touch them with a ten foot pole, their virtue is not at risk.  They thundered about a constitutional right being taken from them.  No such thing happened.  Roe always was bad law.  Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said so.  The Court simply confirmed that no right to abortion exists in the Constitution, thus leaving the question of abortion restrictions to the States, where the issue properly resides.  All those things that the federal government is permitted to do are in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.  All individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution reside in the Bill of Rights and subsequent Amendments.  The right to abortion never was there, and all powers not delegated to the federal government make up the “Police Powers” of the various States, which include education, public safety, public health and morals.  A right which never existed cannot be taken away, and nothing really has changed.  Leftists complain however that the ruling may make abortions harder to get in some States.  That’s true, but so what?  It’s the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Convenience.  State to State it’s harder to get driver’s and other licenses, building permits, and so on.  Have you forgotten the Wuhan pandemic?  The various States decided when to close schools and businesses, what medications could be prescribed, and who needed vaccination.  President Trump wasn’t authorized to order State schools open or vaccine mandates changed.  That’s federalism folks.  The abortion issue is no different.  As this is written, the Supreme Court has decided what may be the most important case on this year’s docket.  West Virginia v. The EPA challenged whether unelected bureaucrats in an agency such as the EPA have the authority to impose regulations that could overhaul or even shut down entire industries without Congressional legislation.  The Court ruled against the EPA, which argued that it had the right to impose CO2 regulations on the coal and oil industry which would have the effect of banning coal and oil fired power plants due to “the climate crisis.”  The Court ruled that the Congress could enact such a policy, but that an agency cannot simply order it.  This, no doubt will set the Greenies’ hair on fire.  They’re right and your wrong, and they’re not supposed to lose.  They want a Court that rules only in their favor, if not, burn it down.  It’s their only remedy.  End the filibuster, end the electoral college, make Senate seats proportional, and pack the Supreme Court.  They have 3 liberal sycophants on the Court now, so let Biden add 6 more leftist nuts, then they’ll never lose, and that’s good.  A rubber-stamp Court that’s not really a Court is what “justice” looks like to them.  Anything else is a threat to our democracy.
