SCOTUS: It's Not About Right v. Left. It's About Liberty v. Tyranny.

“The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” —Thomas Jefferson (1804)

In my 2016 endorsement of Donald Trump for president, I noted my response to the question I had been asked for months: “How will you vote?”

It was the same response I’ve given every quadrennial election since I cast my first presidential vote: “For our Constitution — for the candidate who is most likely to nominate constitutionally constructionist judges to the Supreme Court, those who will promote Liberty over tyranny.”

Encouraging the “Never Trump” crowd, some of whom were considering sitting out the election, I asked them to consider “that the outcome of the November election will not only determine our president for the next four years but also the composition of the Supreme Court for the next quarter-century.” Sitting that one out was tantamount to a vote for Hillary Clinton.

Ten days after his inauguration, President Trump put forth the first tangible evidence that his victory was a resounding triumph for our Constitution and for the Liberty and Rule of Law it enshrines.

He nominated Neil Gorsuch to replace the late, great Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. His confirmation rendered the Supreme Court balance with four justices who abide by their oaths “to support and defend” our Constitution (Chief Justice John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Gorsuch), four despotic jurists (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan), and one swing vote — Justice Anthony Kennedy.

With that nomination, Trump defied the Democrat Party statists who seek to subordinate our Constitution to the rule of men, the irrevocable terminus of which is tyranny, and began the SCOTUS reformation.
