Today’s Supreme Court & The U.S. Government
Today’s Supreme Court, Trump’s appointees ensurered an originalist majority:
AI Overview Originalist: Originalism, in the context of constitutional law, is a theory of interpretation that asserts that the meaning of the Constitution should be determined by what the framers and ratifiers of the document originally intended it to mean. It contrasts with “living constitutionalism,” which posits that the Constitution is a living document that should evolve with society.
It was the intent, of the ‘framers of the constitution’, not include the Bill of Rights in the original Constitution. The Bill of Rights was included after those, who led the 1776 revolution. threaten another revolution. The ‘framers’ then promised to in include the ‘Bill of rights as the first act of Congress’. The Bill of Rights became the first ten amendments to the constitution. To quell the threat of revolution.
We should not be surprised when Trump and the Supreme Court ignore the Bill of Rights!
The ‘founding fathers’ wrote the constitution to “protect the minority of the opulent against the majority”, and the Constitution was designed to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority, and the Constistitution was designed to try to prevent, what is called, the tyranny of the majority, meaning democracy.
As James Madison, in May 1787 stated, when he was defending the constitution prior to it’s ratification:
“A national convention was called for May 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Madison believed that the problem was not with the Articles, but rather the state legislatures, and so the solution was not to fix the articles but to restrain the excesses of the states. The principal questions before the convention became whether the states should remain sovereign, whether sovereignty should be transferred to the national government, or whether a settlement should rest somewhere in between.[4] By mid-June, it was clear that the convention was drafting a new plan of government around these issues—a constitution. Madison’s nationalist position shifted the debate increasingly away from a position of pure state sovereignty, and toward the compromise.[8] In a debate on June 26, he said that government ought to “protect the minority of the opulent against the majority” and that unchecked, democratic communities were subject to ;the turbulency and weakness of unruly passions”.”[9] — Federalist No. 10
And as Noam Chomsky stated in the Article: Noam Chomsky Believes Trump Is “the Worst Criminal in Human History”:
“To return to a previous point: the left has often described Trump as a symptom of American decline or American bad behavior, and said that the real threat to American democracy is all of these things that have been true about us for a long time. The center-left has often described Trump as a uniquely malignant figure, who is threatening a democracy that was working better than some people on the left thought. You were seeming to come down on the latter side of that debate—which, given your status in the American left, I thought was interesting. Sorry. I think [American] democracy, first of all, was never much to write home about. Do you really want to talk about it? The Founding Fathers, let’s go back to them. They were committed to reducing democracy. The major scholarly work on the Constitutional Convention, the gold standard for today, is Michael Klarman’s book, and it’s called .The Framers’ Coup‘— their coup against democracy. The general population wanted more democracy. The Framers wanted to restrict that; they didn’t like the idea of democracy. Their picture was more or less that of John Jay: the people who own the country ought to rule it. James Madison explained that one of the prime goals of government is to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority, and the Constitution was designed to try to prevent what is called the tyranny of the majority, meaning democracy. You’ve got to protect the minority; the opulent have to be protected.“
All three branches of government, today, are following the intent of the found father to protect the 1% opulent minority from the 99% minority!
We do the same thing, as those, who led the 1776 revolution!
