Four words……… what do they mean? They are not ambiguous words, and yet they seem to have a very wide range of interpretations. I think that they are supposed to mean the ultimate sincerity to whatever they are being applied to. Every serviceman, Congressman, Senator, President, and Judge use these words at the end of their oath of office. They all seem to say these words with sincerity yet after the ceremonies are over, and their tenure begins, at whatever level, the oath seems to be forgotten. Not only by the person taking the oath, but also by all the witness. Aren’t these witnesses the same people that are supposed to hold them accountable? Well they don’t keep their oaths, and they suffer NO consequences, or even shame for their actions.

To “defend our constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic” is a part of every swearing in ceremony. Again this is not an ambiguous statement. The constitution is the “holy grail” of our legal system. It is a beautifully written, and I believed an inspired document that can withstand the changes of the ages. Changes were anticipated and procedures were included to accommodate any changes that progress would necessitate. The changes are not easy to make, nor should they be. The nature of man was considered too. Man likes power! Men like to get power, they like to hold onto power, and they like to expand their power to keep from losing their control over whatever area that they control. Our founders understood that fully and did all they could to provide relief for the challenges that they knew were going to come and come they did, but never in the frequency or with the voracity that we are facing now. One of the reasons for this is that Supreme Court used to be more concerned about to adherence to the constitution. Today the Supreme court is more concerned about finding a way to twist the founders “intents” to accomodate a point that was never in the constitution. This has given way for the politicization of the rule keepers. This gives us a system that insures that the rules mean nothing. Instead the rules of the constitution become mere suggestions to be followed, unless the majority of judges feel things should be a certain way. This reduces the high court to a rubber stamp for the agendas of whatever party holds the power. Adherence to the rules AND THEIR OATH mean nothing. This was anticipated by the founding fathers too. Impeachment is supposed to be the remedy, but it has been replaced by a system of, “when its your turn you get to appoint and we have to put up with it, and you have to put up with ours.” Not only is this system wrong it is the nuclear bomb to our way of life. It means that there are NO hard and fast rules to govern or live by. The Judges began ruling by what they think the law should be, not what the constitution actually says. Case in point is Roe vs. Wade. There is not one mention of abortion in the constitution yet it is indeed the current law of the land. I believe that is certainly agenda driven. The question becomes by and for who? We are back to the premiss that life itself is a battle between good and evil. If you accept that premiss then which side is which? Of course there are more examples of interpretation and of regions of authority that the high court decides so their mental make up and biases are supremely important.

So the enshrining of these judges for life could not be more important. Since it is impossible to get into anyones head as to how well they will adhere to the constitution it is vitally important to look at their history. Have their judgements ever been overturned, and if so why? What have their stated affiliations been? What have their publicly stated stands been? Whatever they are they represent a look inside of their head no matter what they claim.

The selection process of seating a new judge should be blind to everything but qualifications. By starting with a slot that someone must fit into is the death knell to an unbiased judicial system. If preset criteria for any selection isn’t illegal it should be. Does “equal rights” apply here?

SO HELP ME GOD!!
