The Supreme Court, once again, spit on the
Constitution of the United States by allowing an unaccountable and basically
untouchable commission to draw congressional districts in the state of Arizona. Article One, Section Four specifically states:
The times, places, and manner of holding elections,
for senators and representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the
legislature thereof; but Congress may at any time by law make or alter such
regulations, except as to the places of choosing senators.
I guess the Supreme Court is having a hard time
understanding what constitutes a “state” and a “legislature.” After the judicial gymnastics of Obamacare
and gay marriage, it’s safe to say this is no longer a court of law, but a
court of activist.
There is no doubt the Supreme Court consist of four dedicated
liberals and two gutless wonders masquerading as jurist. Here is the real reason these “justices” ruled
the way they did as reported by Roll Call:
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld Arizona’s congressional
map, declaring in a 5-4 ruling the use of an independent redistricting
commission that drew House district lines in the 2012 cycle did not
violate the Constitution.
If the court had thrown out the
state’s map, it could have sent the 2016 elections into chaos in Arizona and it could
have had implications for neighboring California’s map, drawn by a
similar independent commission.
Is the avoidance of chaos a reason to rule in favor of a badly written law, such
as Obamacare; or in this case, a violation of the U.S. Constitution? We know why the four liberal justices voted
for this “independent commission.” Roll
Call went on to explain:
Had the court tossed the maps, the Republican-controlled Legislature in
Arizona would have had the power to redraw the state’s
nine congressional districts more to their liking to make what were
competitive districts more favorable to the GOP. Currently, Democrats hold
4 of the 9 seats.
Let’s keep in mind that the plaintiff is the Arizona
Legislature, the very body that is constitutionally mandated to draw
congressional districts. Here is Justice
Ginsberg’s reasoning:
“So long as a State has ‘redistricted in the
manner provided by the law thereof’ — as Arizona did by utilizing the
independent commission procedure in its Constitution — the resulting
redistricting plan becomes the presumptively governing map,” Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg wrote in the majority opinion.
She completely rewrote that clause in Article One, Section Four! This is a lawless Supreme Court. The only way to put a check on Washington
D.C. is for an Article V States’ convention.
But then we may run the risk of having these liberal justices rewrite
whatever constitutional amendment that convention ratified.
