Someone Asked Me How to Spell ‘Corruption.’ I Said ‘That’s Simple:’ SCOTUS

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The Supreme Court of the United States has a single purpose as defined by the Constitution: to protect the Law of the Land. Their only job is to ensure that laws, regulations, rules, and policies made by governments at all levels comply with the intention of the Constitution.

However, six members of today’s Court are rewriting laws to serve the demands of their Fuhrer: Donald John Trump.

I want you to remember the names of these six traitors who are pretending to be Supreme Court justices: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.

Our Founding Fathers were idealists, and idealism and naivete often run hand in hand.  

Not too long ago, I wrote an article which may have been controversial, but was also the absolute truth. I claimed that if there is a God, He or She made one huge mistake by creating mankind. With free thought, all the evils of humanity compete with our conscience and responsibility to do the right thing.

Men cannot resist their innate needs for great power and outrageous wealth. The only fact/idiom which is always absolutely true is old, trite, but very real: “money is the root of all evil.”

After the Constitutional Convention ended in 1789, men who were involved in the creation of America volunteered their time and served in all three branches of our government without remuneration. Today, our president receives a base salary of $400,000 per year. The basic salary of a member of the legislature is a base of $174,000 each year. A Supreme Court Justice is also overpaid at $303,600. However, Clarence Thomas confirmed that there are many other “perks.” Each of these 545 men and women are currently millionaires or billionaires.

However, our government is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. Therefore a quote by Will Rogers is very applicable: “Be thankful we're not getting all the government we pay for."

I leave you with one, irrefutable fact: the biggest mistake made during the Constitutional Convention between 1787, and 1789 is clear: Supreme Court Justices should never have been given lifetime appointments, and they should have been chosen by the people, not a professional politician whose loyalty is first to his or her party and second, to the people; sometimes.
