Welcome to Saturday! Here’s your quick thought for today: On May 28th, 1788 one of our Founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton published The Federalist Paper #78, titled “The Judicial Department”.
In this paper, he explores the powers of the Judicial Branch of our Constitutional Republic. The following is an excerpt from a summary of this paper by the National Constitution Center:
“Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.”
In other words, like the Federal Judges who ruled yesterday that President Trump must not allow SNAP payments to stop for 42 million Americans who may or may not deserve them, judges can want, suggest, and rule all they want.
However, the President is the Chief Executive Officer of our nation and the Congress holds the key to the purse.
Judges can actually be impeached because of bad behavior on the bench.
Once they give up their important job of ruling by the law only and not their personal politics, they tip the Scales of Justice toward the side of the political party which they belong to or they support.
When the Democrat Elite could not destroy President Trump through crooked prosecutors, they decided to use politically-influenced judges.
This is not what our Founders envisioned when they drew up our wonderful documents like The Federalist Papers and the Constitution itself. Our country cannot continue to be purposefully divided by the Democrat Elite for political gain.
United we stand.
Divided we fall.
Until He Comes,
KJ
