Horning for Senate: Bad Scotus, Now what?

(Originally posted at Horning for Senate)

Well of course the ruling, led by Republican-appointed Chief Justice Roberts, was unconstitutional. All key aspects of our Rule Of Law were breached. As businesses and individuals are treated to harshly dividing taxes, punishments, subsidies and perks, equality under law has been overruled. The clear limitations of political authority as federally defined in the US Constitution’s Article I Section 8, and clarified by the Tenth Amendment, have been swept away. And forget about that intentionally misunderstood “Commerce Clause;” now people are forced to enter commerce to buy a product they do not want, need, and/or cannot afford.

Some may call this a good thing; either cheering in victory, or waving it as a rallying flag for the GOP.

But this is not a good thing. This is the result of a culture that has lost its way. It is a symptom of a much greater disease.

If any good is to come of this horrible decision, it will have to be in the form of an epiphany among those who have the power to change everything.

We The People have all the power to choose. We choose how we’re to live our lives, and whether to turn dangerous power over to abstractions and idols…or not.

I represent what has been a minority opinion so far. I understand that what I offer is not what We The People have chosen so far.

But there is more to politics than bookmaking odds and tolerating corruption. Politics is all about our historical default state of oppression, slavery, genocide and war…and whether we’d like to try something both different, and better.

About the Author

I love my life. If you ask nicely I may be very happy to share a bit of it with you. I think that's how it's supposed to work. We're to enjoy life; and we do that best by the Golden Rule...and with a neighborly fence. I'm a realist. I know what people have always done to each other under the two-headed idol of "politics" and "justice." So while I, like anybody else, may dream of a perfect way, I can see that ain't happenin' as long as humans are in charge. So I promote the nonviolence and Rule of Law that has proven to work better than anything else, and I vigorously oppose what has always failed violently. That's all. Have a nice day.
