OPINION:
The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to reject fast-tracking of the Obamacare legal challenge deserves public rebuke.
Nothing is more important to the vitality of a free people and the union of 50 individual states than state sovereignty. The Constitution does not address the issue of the federal appellate courts, but it does name the arbiter of the constitutionality of all laws: the U.S. Supreme Court. The court has an absolute obligation to fast-track this case, regardless of the outcome, in order to provide closure and finality to the issue without delaying review through the federal appellate process.
As we’ve seen over the past 100 years, the Supreme Court has rendered itself impotent against the progressive agenda and is becoming irrelevant. The legislative and executive branches of government have allowed much harm to come to this once-great country through regulatory action and executive fiat.
It is time that the Supreme Court stood accountable for its inaction and time for Americans to revisit - through a constitutional amendment - the lifelong appointment of those who sit at the bench but do nothing in the interest of this country. Meanwhile, they have the gall to take the summer off at taxpayer expense. Enough of this nonsense.
