6 Ways the US Supreme Court Has Trashed and Rewritten Our Constitution

1. "Corporate Personhood"

2. "Fire in a Crowded Theater"

3. Plessy v. Ferguson

4. Violent Video Games

5. Corporations United

6. The Voting Rights Act

This is an opinion piece mainly aimed at the Supreme Court's rulings on 'Corporate Personhood', 'Voting Rights', and Antonin Scalia.

I've found the Roberts Court to be extremely flawed and far too many of their decisions based on flawed ideology instead of the Constitution or pure law.

Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.  ;)

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S. I. Hayakawa

  The Republican fought and fought FDR when he tried to stack the Supreme Court.   :yes:  Then the Republicans get it done, they stacked the Supreme Court with greedy, selfish old men who are Republican to the morrow of their bones.   :rant:
