IS THE SUPREME COURT ACTING UNCONSTITUTIONALLY?

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/history/americas-economic-history/is-the-supreme-court-acting-unconstitutional/

The Supreme Court has no Constitutional right or permission to exercise “discretion” to hear a case.

They must hear every case presented to them for that is dictated by the Constitution and cannot be circumvented by a statute written by Congress or by its own rule-making practice.

The Supreme Court receives approximately 7,000-8,000 petitions for a writ of certiorari each term (year).

The court grants and hears oral arguments in about 80 cases per year in a country of over 300 million. That is outrageous and this practice denies the people the constitutional guarantee of a tripartite government
(3 branches) with each branch acting as a check and balance against the others.

Your constitutional right to be heard is being DENIED. That right is being circumvented by demanding you go to a district court judge, then appeal to that circuit court, and then apply to be heard as one of the 7,000+ petitions when they only accept 80.

Congress reduced the power of the Supreme Court by eliminating the constitutional status of the court by enabling them to decide to hear cases at their “discretion,” but that is totally unconstitutional for no statute can amend the Constitution. Any statute or rule created by Congress, a political party (e.g. Republicans right now), etc. cannot circumvent the Constitution – PERIOD!

Letter from New Orleans

The Memory Hole At Work

I really enjoyed reading your article regarding the Letter from Oxford. Here in New Orleans, we are also being forced to go through an eradication of history. Our pandering mayor has also succumbed to Black Lives Matter and has personally forced the issue of removing historic statues. It is so saddening….watching history being pushed down the \”memory hole.\” Thank you for all of your wonderful, enlightening writings. Brigitte New Orleans, Louisiana
