The Long History of the How The Supreme Court of the United States Has Castrated the U.S. Constitution

By Dr. Rich Swier

Today many are concerned by the “cultural wars” being waged by the current administration against Americans. While this is disconcerting a greater concern should be how our Judicial Branch has long history of aiding and abetting these cultural wars.

You see presidents come and go, as do their policies and the laws they get passed. What is more lingering and much more deadly are decisions handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). These decision can last decades.

Let’s look at some SCOTUS cases that are nefarious and have caused moral destruction of America and deaths of tens of millions Americans.

Here are just some of the SCOTUS decisions which have castrated our Constitution:

  1. Legalizing Slavery: In Dred Scott v. Sandford (argued 1856 — decided 1857), the Supreme Court ruled that Americans of African descent, whether free or slave, were not American citizens and could not sue in federal court. The Court also ruled that Congress lacked power to ban slavery in the U.S. territories. Finally, the Court declared that the rights of slaveowners were constitutionally protected by the Fifth Amendment because slaves were categorized as property.
  2. Plessy v. Ferguson (1896): The SCOTUS’s “separate but equal” ruling upheld state segregation laws. In doing so, the Court made sure that the gains of the post-Civil War reconstruction era were quickly replaced by decades of Jim Crow laws.
  3. Legalizing forced sterilization: In 1927 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the compulsory sterilization as constitutional. In an 8–1 vote, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, writing for the majority in Buck v. Bell (1927), found: “It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. … Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” The women most affected by the SCOTUS decision to legalize “forcible sterilizations” were from ethnic minorities, including Native Americans and African Americans. One study showed that 60 percent of African American women in Sunflower County, Mississippi were sterilized against their will or without their knowledge, some of these procedures taking place unbeknownst to them during childbirth.
  4. Korematsu v. United States (1944): Here, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, finding that the need to protect against espionage outweighed the individual rights of American citizens. In a cruel and ironic twist, this was also the first time the Court applied strict scrutiny to racial discrimination by the U.S. government, belying the idea that strict scrutiny is “strict in theory, fatal in fact.”
  5. Removing prayer from public schools: In 1962 the Board of Regents of New York approved a nondenominational prayer for their morning procedures.  Students would be given the choice to be excused for the morning prayer if they chose to.  The prayer was twenty-two-words, “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country. Amen.” The SCOTUS ruled in Engel v. Vitale that it is unconstitutional for state officials to compose an official school prayer and encourage its recitation in public schools, due to violation of the First Amendment. The First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
  6. Murdering the unborn: On January 22nd, 1973 in a 7-2 decision in Roe v. Wade the SCOTUS legalized the murder of the unborn. In 1970, Jane Roe (a fictional name used in court documents to protect the plaintiff’s identity) filed a lawsuit against Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, where she resided, challenging a Texas law making abortion illegal except by a doctor’s orders to save a woman’s life. In her lawsuit, Roe alleged that the state laws were unconstitutionally vague and abridged her right of personal privacy, protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. To date an estimated 60 million unborn have been murdered. Many call this the silent American holocaust. This decision led to the Right to Life movement which is based on the inalienable U.S. Constitutional right to life.
  7. Legalizing same sex marriages. In June of 2015, 13 states in the U.S. banned same-sex marriage. In a 5-4 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, the SCOTUS held that the 14th Amendment requires that states license marriage for same-sex couples as well as recognize licenses for same-sex marriages that are issued out of state. While the case was before the SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg married a same sex couple. Ginsberg did not recuse herself from this narrow decision. Since this decision the LGBT movement has become more militant and has invaded the public school system with homosexual Gay, Lesbians, Straight Education Network (GLSEN) clubs, has held so called Gay Pride parades across America, has demanded homosexuals be placed in government and the private sector and has led to multiple cases of sexual abuse of little boys in the Catholic church.
  8. Legalizing government control of healthcare. On June 17th, 2021 in California v Texas the SCOTUS dismissed a case challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act in a 7-2 decision. The court found that the plaintiffs did not have the standing to sue and did not proceed to rule on any of the other questions. “We proceed no further than standing,” Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in the majority opinion. He was joined by Justices John Roberts, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Justice Clarence Thomas filed a concurring opinion, and Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

Today we have “federal mandates” being issued that are used to coerce individuals to take the Covid vaccines or lose their jobs. NewsBreak.com’s Kelsey Vlamis reported:

In a ruling Friday, the Supreme Court declined to block Maine from requiring vaccine mandates for healthcare workers who object on religious grounds.

Maine requires all healthcare workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and does not grant religious exemptions.

A group of healthcare workers sought an emergency order from the Supreme Court that would block the requirement for those with religious objections.

The court voted 6-3, with conservative Justices John Roberts and Trump-appointees Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett siding with the liberal justices.

The majority did not give a reason for the decision, but conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, issued a long dissent

Will Americans eventually lose their ability to make their own healthcare decisions? Will the SCOTUS once again ignore individual liberties and give government more power over our personal lives. Will doctor patient decisions now be weighed against government mandates?

We fear it will be so to a greater and greater degree. The Constitution be damned!

Conclusion

The Supreme Court of the United States has made and continues to make decisions that are in direct challenges to individual rights as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

What we have witnesses is a gradual but consistent neutering of individual rights and the “castration” of our God given protection under the U.S. Constitution.

Many believed that under President Trump the three newest justices of the Supreme Court would be strict constructionists. These justices, in league with the liberal minority, have done great harm to the American people.

We are now entering a new era of “rule by government mandate.” It now appears that a majority of the justices are siding with government bureaucrats at the local, state and federal levels to force each and every American to obey and get jabbed or refuse and lose their ability to pursue happiness. Even those with natural immunity are being forced to get jabbed.

Will the SCOTUS rule for the people’s rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? We, again, fear the answer is no!

God help us all.
