Activist Supreme Courts Are Not New. The Dred Scott Decision In 1856, Imposing Slavery In Free Territories; The Plessy Decision In 1896, Imposing Segregation On A Private Railroad Company; The Korematsu Decision In 1944, Upholding Franklin Roosevelt’s Internment Of American Citizens, Mostly Japanese Americans; And The Roe Decision In 1973, Imposing Abortion On The Entire Nation; Are Examples Of The Consequences Of Activist Courts And Justices.

We Should Remember That The Declaration Of Independence Is Not Merely A Historical Document. It Is An Explicit Recognition That Our Rights Derive Not From The King Of England, Not From The Judiciary, Not From Government At All, But From God. The Keystone Of Our System Of Popular Sovereignty Is The Recognition, As The Declaration Acknowledges, That 'all Men Are Created Equal' And 'endowed By Their Creator With Certain Unalienable Rights.' Religion And God Are No Alien To Our System Of Government, They're Integral To It.

America Has Never Been A Pure Democracy And Majoritarianism Has Always Been As Much Feared As Monarchism.

The Seventeenth Amendment Serves Not The Public's Interest But The Interests Of The Governing Masterminds And Their Disciples. Its Early Proponents Advanced It Not Because They Championed 'democracy' Or The Individual, But Because They Knew It Would Be One Of Several Important Mechanisms For Empowering The Federal Government And Unraveling Constitutional Republicanism.

Where Utopianism Is Advanced Through Gradualism Rather Than Revolution, Albeit Steady And Persistent As In Democratic Societies, It Can Deceive And Disarm An Unsuspecting Population, Which Is Largely Content And Passive. It Is Sold As Reforming And Improving The Existing Society's Imperfections And Weaknesses Without Imperiling Its Basic Nature. Under These Conditions, It Is Mostly Ignored, Dismissed, Or Tolerated By Much Of The Citizenry And Celebrated By Some. Transformation Is Deemed Innocuous, Well-intentioned, And Perhaps Constructive But Not A Dangerous Trespass On Fundamental Liberties.
