“At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.”

– Thomas Jefferson (letter to Monsieur A. Coray, 31 October 1823)

Gentlemen:

With regards to the Constitution, I find it very interesting and, at the same time, very alarming that the very person who drafted the Constitution itself is also the one who questions the findings of the Supreme Court already in 1823; with regards to their faulty interpretation and misdirection of the document of ultimate protection of our liberty.  It would seem obvious, from Mr. Jefferson’s assessment above, that the Supreme Court Justices must be made to be accountable by some means.  Perhaps some sort of term limit, but then again if there is a term limit it seems that there might be a potential to create great havoc during the end of the second term, knowing that the jurist can not be elected or appointed a third time.  In any case some deliberation is required to impose some sort of judicial accountability to us, We The People, and/or perhaps only to the Constitution itself to ensure it’s integrity, should we, someday, recapture the freedom we have lost from such heinous acts perpetrated on our fellow countrymen through the ignorance or purposeful willful neglect of the word, spirit and intent of this most precious document, in terms of these canons as they were intended on the day of drafting.

With the apparent lack of the most important education of American history, heritage, culture, economics, and their comparisons to other forms of government, especially as to the absolute abject failure of Socialist or Communist styles, combined with the apparent desire by many with in our population at large for the “free stuff” of social programs and “entitlements” perhaps, until such education has been conducted to have a better informed populace, to know what is in their best interests in terms of reality and “Natural Law” we should not be so quick to allow the general public to have open access to Supreme Court nomination and powers with regards to Constitutional assessments and law.  It appears self evident that a significant portion of the general public has not been even educated enough to recognize Socialism or Communism when it is just about biting them in the nose; for it seems additionally apparent that they keep asking for even more “free stuff” other wise known as Social programs, welfare, “bringing home the bacon” and pork barrel for themselves and their hometowns; resulting in a form of ceaseless corruptive election process where by the same tyrannical despots in both houses of Congress get elected over and over again.

As many of you know true and full “democracy” is truly socialism or communism in that 51% of the people – control, manipulate, tyrannize, and steal from the private property of the other 49%.  This, as you are also aware, is why The United States does not have a “Democracy” but rather a “Republic”.

All in all our founding fathers did us, their posterity, very well in deed.  The Supreme Court problem that is before us, is very important, but considering all the genius that went into the balance, I feel we can forgive them for this oversight.  Perhaps, the next time around, after the up coming revolution, whether peaceful or otherwise, we engage some mechanism to plug this small, but continuously mounting leak in the dike of freedom.  Besides, all the rest of the problems are our fault for not watching over the children of Government of which we are the parents and guardians of whom this experiment in self governance has been placed into our own hands, as stated so well by George Washington:

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.
