Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Constitutional Ignorance on Full Display

March 19, 2024

Brandon’s affirmative action quota appointee to the supreme court, Ketanji Brown Jackson, recently decried the fact that the First Amendment is “hamstringing” government.  Well duh, Ketanji.  That’s the whole idea of the Bill of Rights, which is why it is colored with the language, “Congress shall make no law . . .”  Ignorance on steroids by one of nine people in the entire country who is given the power to decide what ALL of our constitutional liberties are to be.

It’s time to revert back to the pre-Lincoln, founding fathers era of constitutionalism where five government lawyers with lifetime tenure are NOT given the power to decide what everyone’s freedoms are to be.  Before Lincoln it was assumed by everyone that the president had an equal say on constitutional matters, as did the Congress, and especially the people of the free, independent, and sovereign states.  Lincoln’s war destroyed the founding fathers’ constitutional system through the violence and mass murder of war, and imposed the constitutional dictatorship of five political appointed lawyers that Americans have slaved under ever since.

This will be important historical knowledge once states/regions begin seceding from Washington, D.C. again as they did in 1860-’61.
