Draggingtree Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Mises Institute Mises Weekends Live! Allen Mendenhall on our Terrible Supreme Court 4 HOURS AGO Allen Mendenhall,Jeff Deist Allen Mendenhall from Faulkner University Law School joins Jeff Deist to break down the hyper-politicized spectacle of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. How did the Supreme Court become so wildly powerful, even while rubber-stamping the excesses of the executive and legislative branches? How much longer can America survive having deeply contentious issues like abortion and gun control decided by a de facto super-legislature? Why is the Constitution a malleable "living document" but Supreme Court precedents are sacrosanct? And how will we ever overcome deep-seated public misconceptions about the role and powers of the Court? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 The Supreme Court: Why the Stakes Are So High 09/26/2018 James Bovard The furor over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh is spurring many commentators to bewail that the Supreme Court has become too powerful. But the real problem is that the Court is now often little more than a fig leaf to provide legitimacy for a Leviathan that would have mortified the Founding Fathers. The Court’s betrayal of its constitutional role has vastly increased the stakes for the current and any future Justice nomination. https://mises.org/wire/supreme-court-why-stakes-are-so-high The views expressed on Mises Wire and mises.org are not necessarily those of mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
