Overview

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, by the way it has interpreted the Constitution, inventing words and phrases to justify its decisions, has violated the process for amendment in Article V.
Phrases like the "right to privacy" and a "right to dignity" have been invented to justify social change as the Court desires it when those terms are nowhere to be found in the Constitution. The Court has maligned the 14th Amendment by not honoring its purpose and applying phrases such as "equal protection", "due process", and "privileges and immunities" in decisions which should not have had those phrases made applicable to the situations presented by those cases.
In this book, these issues and others of importance to all Americans are discussed in order to educate you concerning the intended role of the Court in a representative government where the people, not the Court, are supposed to rule ourselves. Is the Court, the third branch of the federal government and meant to be the weakest of the three, fulfilling its role as envisioned by those who drafted the Constitution and those citizens in the states at the time it was ratified? Is it time to change the Court? Has it become an oligarchy changing social policy for the entire nation by its tyrannical rulings? Do we need to reevaluate how much authority and finality we give to the rulings of the Court? How do we need to once again become a nation in which the people rule themselves through the representatives they elect rather than a nation in which the decisions of nine, and sometimes only five, unelected lawyers are accepted as the law of the land which must be followed by all of us? The book will educate you on some of the major cases ruling your lives and challenge you to decide whether it is time for a change. In our country we can institute change by elections of those who are supposed to serve us, by changing the government structure, and by better understanding how we should view the government which attempts to deny us the very freedoms for which our founders fought against tyranny. Have we replaced the tyranny of a king with a tyranny of a court? Read this book and decide for yourselves.
The future of our country is in your hands!
