Judging Rightly: Supreme Court Justices

Allen Frederick 1 Comment

“Don’t be corrupt when administering justice. Never give special favors to poor people, and never show preference to important people. Judge your neighbor fairly. Leviticus 19:15

Judge Souter retired and Obama has announced his nomination to the Supreme court judge  an appointment for life. What should be the qualifications for these arbiters of justice? And what qualifications is Obama looking for?

During his campaign, Barack Obama said he wanted to appoint Supreme Court justices with a “heart” for the downtrodden, and who would use courts to help the poor.

In his place, Obama said, he’d appoint someone who understands more than just a “footnote in a case book” but also the realities of how the law affects people’s daily lives. Obama said he valued the “quality of empathy” and was hopeful of finding a new justice who would reflect on people’s “hopes and struggles” in the process of arriving at legal decisions. From the LA Times

It would appear from what Obama has said in the past and from his appointment of Sonia Sotomayor that his main focus was on finding someone who will administer his social policies under the guise of Supreme Law. And yet when we look into the SUPREME LAW, as given by God himself, we find just the opposite is  true. A true judge should not take into account one’s social standing at all but judge evenly between two parties and arrive at a JUST decision and not one twisted by one’s own idiology. The plan here folks is to do away with our Constitution the written law of the land and replace it with some convoluted social justice that makes the Government the supreme law giver and granter of rights. Whereby our constitution rests upon the foundation of those rights being given by GOD,, to the individual, and the government should not impose restrictions upon those rights.

You see what happens when we depart from the straight and narrow way and head down this crooked road of twisted justice and where moral judgment is left standing outside the door looking in.

“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14

Obamanomics Illustrated

Yes folks we do have a car salesman in the white house. And yes folks he does believe that increasing the cost of doing business actually increases business. And yes folks he believes in spending more money then you have and getting less for it is also good for America. And yes folks he does believe that raising taxes will actually stimulate the economy.

Would you like tires for your car? You do know they are an added extra, that will cost you another $3000 because of the environmental impact tax to pay for their later disposal. Do we have a deal?

THE PIRATE OATH


We shall find and take all kinds of precious goods [when our victims are put out of the way], we shall fill our houses with plunder; 14 Throw in your lot with us [they insist] and be a sworn brother and comrade; let us all have one purse in common—Prov 1:13-14 (AMP)

This past week an American captain of a humanitarian cargo vessel was held captive by 4 thugs who were attempting to trade his life for a million dollar ransom. Instead all they got was a bullet between the eyes and the captain was rescued unharmed.

 


Actually this whole incident sounds very familiar. You may wish to read about it here:

Lessons From the Barbary Pirate Wars


These pirates saw these ships of commerce going past their shoreline and, because they do not value other people’s property rights, they coveted what others had and made a siege on these unarmed merchant ships. They then hold the cargo and crews hostage until they can shake down the companies for payoffs. This has been going on for quite some time but just recently it seems to be making headlines.


We as American citizens saw the piracy against merchant vessels as an outrage and demanded that something be done about it. Decisive action was taken by our brave men and women of the Navy and the situation was diffused and the innocent captain was freed from the clutches of these evil pirates.


All this happened around the world off the shores of Africa yet on our own homeland, it would appear that piracy is the norm. We have pirates hijacking the ship of state and beating the captain of the vessels of commerce into coughing up huge payoffs. To me this does not appear to be much different from the piracy occurring to merchant vehicles on the high seas. If this was another time in our history, the whole concept of a strong armed man coming up to an unarmed merchant demanding a payoff would have been met with criminal prosecution or, like the pirates of the American ship, a shot between the eyes.


This type of conduct was considered thuggery. We even had a special name for it, we called those who practiced this type of strong armed robbery, the mob. Law enforcement set up special task forces to deal with the Chicago style mob rule and vigorously pursued these thugs until the streets where cleared of their influence.

History’s Turning Points II, Volume 5: The Rise of the Mob

The mob moved from the streets into the government and continued to practice their trade. Instead of robbing vessels on the open sea they brought their practices to the homeland and set up shop in our political class. They see the ships of commerce traversing the landscape and they board them with onerous regulations and legislative redtape in attempts to slow the wheels of commerce. With these regulations they are then able to strong arm the companies they hijack into giving them a payoff for the privilege of continuing to navigate freely on the sea of commerce.
