AMERICA FOR SALE - Ideology Trumps Justice

On Jan 21, 2010, the United States of America took a dangerous turn. A minimal one vote majority of Supreme Court Justices trampled justice for the purpose of aggrandizing extreme right wing political power. In the 103 years since Teddy Roosevelt, the nation has recognized the dangers of uncontrolled wealth buying votes and political power. The John Roberts led majority was fully aware that gaining control over vast reserves of corporate wealth would enable the extreme political right to win most future elections and increase the power hold of radical conservatism. This non- elected group of justices have a power position that was never intended by the nations founders. They are fully insulated from public wrath with lifetime appointments. This palpable wrong can be attributed to a justice selection process established by congress in 1789. The first 147 years of Supreme Court history were marked by a majority of less than qualified justices responsible for many crucial decisions. Truly great justices serving on those courts were not of sufficient number to ever constitute a majority. The results were tragic for countless innocent victims. In 1937, an internal court revolution led to a drastic improvement in the quality of sitting justices. A Golden Age of improved constitutional understanding inaugurated a 63 year period of well thought out decision making. That Golden Age ended with the stolen election of 2000, soon followed by the dangerous circumstances that now engulf America. The court history contained in this book clearly demonstrates why an honorable court must have a justice selection system that is immune to political intrigue. Accomplishing this correction is not complicated, requiring only the will of the America`s overwhelming majority of fair minded people.
