Supreme court refuses to do its job…again
The People Spoke: The Supreme Court Refused to Listen
The purpose of the Supreme Court is to ensure that those living within our boundaries have equal protection under the law. The Court also functions as the guardian and interpreter of the U.S. Constitution.
The Supreme Court was built as a check on both the Legislative and Executive branch of the government, functioning to keep a balance between individual rights and the need for order in a civilized society.
Instead, the Supreme Court has consistently expanded the power of the federal government, reduced the rights of the individual citizen, and become a beacon for partisan politics. It only protects some individual rights while allowing Federal and State governments to freely violate the rights of the average American.
Citizens are not able to sue state governments and are barred from voting to change the leadership of their local governments.
One recent example of this is with the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear laws related to voter suppression.
