While many Americans may pronounce the
2015 SCOTUS Decision ‘OBERGEFELL
ET AL. v. HODGES, (No. 14–556)’ as the law, and must be obeyed immediately, our
US history will show many instances of SCOTUS’s ‘wrong’ rulings.
The OBERGEFELL ET AL. v. HODGES decision
is certainly one example as another one of these ‘wrong’ SCOTUS verdicts.
Over the years, many Americans have
chosen to oppose other earlier and unacceptable SCOTUS ‘Decisions’; based on ‘wrong’
SCOTUS findings:
1.
Scott
v. Sandford (1857) (60 U.S. 393) SCOTUS ruled that African Americans, whether
enslaved or free, were not citizens of the United States. African Americans did not have the right to
sue in federal court. SCOTUS ruled that
the federal government could not prohibit slavery in the territories. Later, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution
provided that anyone born or naturalized in the United States is a citizen of
the nation and of his or her state. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/60/393
At
this point, may I suggest that this must have included ‘legally’ born, and not
for those born ‘illegally. As an analogy,
when a criminal robs a bank, it is crime. It is an ‘illegal’ act. Just getting away does not allow the robber
to keep the money.
2.
ROE
v. WADE, (1973) No. 70-18 SCOTUS
declared a pregnant woman is entitled to have an Abortion until the end of the
first trimester of pregnancy without any interference by the state. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/roe_v._wade_1973
Since
this 1973 SCOTUS decision, there have been approximately 57,762,169 abortions
that have destroyed the lives of unborn children. http://www.lifenews.com/2015/01/21/57762169-abortions-in-america-since-roe-vs-wade-in-1973/
3.
Texas
v. Johnson (1989) (No. 88-155) As far as
I am concerned in this case, SCOTUS is and was ‘wrong’. In this ‘Decision’ SCOTUS ruled that
Johnson’s burning of the American flag was a 1st Amendment ‘Freedom of Speech’
‘Right. Near 600,000 have died while
serving in the US Military for defending (y)our American flag.
One of my first classes in Army’s Basic
Training at Ft. Bragg, NC, we were taught and/or reaffirmed was to always uphold
our USA, our Constitution, and our American flag. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/491/397
The incident of Kim Davis being jailed
as she refused to honor our Judiciary’s conclusions with the SCOTUS ruling was
and is ‘wrong’ as a majority members of SCOTUS have overruled our
Constitutional 1st Amendment’s ‘Freedom of Religion’.
It appears a majority of SCOTUS Justices
have disregarded our Constitutional ‘freedoms’ as determined by our founding
Fathers based on Judeo-Christian values.
Our historical ‘Federalist Papers’ will substantiate these findings as
facts. http://thomas.loc.gov/home/histdox/fedpapers.html
In SCOTUS’s majority decision rejecting
‘God’s Law’, our Holy Bible, as addressed by many of our Founding Fathers, it could well be compared to Rev. Martin
Luther King’s decision on ‘Civil Rights’.
Many other instances in US History will
disclose that many Americans have been rejected on other Constitutional
‘Rights’; members within (y)our majority and minority communities across the
USA.
Today is a sad day for a SCOTUS
majority of Justices to disallow our US Constitutional freedoms, including our
1st Amendment’s ‘Freedom of Religion’, and based on Judeo-Christian
values to be disallowed as the ‘law’ of (y)our precious nation.
