When The U.S. Senate Provides Its Advice And Consent Regarding A Supreme Court Nomination Their First Concern Should Be To Protect Our Republic And Our Constitutions

Posted on February 29, 2016 John Abood

A qualified judicial nominee is no longer sufficient – not since judicial activism became more popular among our justices. The nominated Supreme Court justice must protect our republican process and our republican rights. Some people believe in majority rule and legislatures, while other people believe in judiciary rule and judicial law-making.

Today’s litmus test for a judge on the Supreme Court is whether they will protect our republic. The individual’s natural right to deliberate and make choices regarding their society is being overrun by activist judges. Activist judges make law by using anti-republican interpretations of the 5th and 14th Amendments. By applying these interpretations, they eliminate majority rule, subsidiarity and the people’s right to legislate. Activist judges ultimately replace our republic with judicial fiat.

The Senate should carefully evaluate any presidential nominee regarding their interpretation of the 5th and 14th Amendments, and whether these clauses can or should be applied in a manner which replaces human choice, our republic and the majority’s right to decide political issues and reasonably legislate.
