I encourage you to read the following article. Like all of our institutions the Supreme Court is defined as operating one way but in reality it operates in a different way.   The Supreme Court Appointment

Again, Americans are missing the point. The damage to the country by way of using belligerence to override the formal political process is more harmful than anything one judge sitting on the bench might do. Like all institutions the Supreme Court does not function the way it is popularly believed to operate. Supreme Court justices are politicians just as are the presidents who appoint them.

The institution of self government is failing in the United States. I wrote about this in 2008 after the TARP bill was passed over the loud objections of citizens in every state. Many bills are passed in that fashion. You will notice that when the formal political system generates an answer the elite doesn’t like, thugs are commissioned to impose their will on the public in an alternative way. That is a bigger threat to the country than the appointment of a single judge.

The truth is a hard sell. Fantasy Free Economics gains readers one at a time. Major search engines simply do not list blogs which disagree with their political agenda. As long as folks share the link to this blog and others speaking out against the grain, the truth will at least trickle into the public consciousness.
