Supreme Clowns

By: Ed Howes

Is it just me or are the dunces in the

U.S. Senate totally unqualified to pass

judgment on Supreme Court nominees?

They have been entrusted with a duty that

can have no meaning. They can’t do their

job because they have no clue what

questions to ask. They have to know your

dreams and visions, your mistakes and

your private conversations to get any idea

what questions to ask. Reveal your every

private thought to us and we will ask you

most excellent questions.

I would have questions without end. If

we have a Constitutional Convention next

year, what constitutional defects should

we address? Should any government have

the use of unlimited credit? Doesn’t that

create an unfair advantage over those with

little or no credit? Should any government

have authority to put multiple generations

in debt bondage? If they have the

authority do they have a moral obligation

not to do so? If they ignore their moral

obligation, should they not forfeit the

credit itself?

Do you believe cruel punishment is

desirable once it becomes common or

usual? Do you believe a single punishment

is appropriate to all crimes? Which is more

important to you, justice or mercy? Which

would you prefer for yourself on judgment

day?

Do you believe it was the intention of

the founding fathers to enumerate and

restrict the powers of Congress and then

add a little phrase such as the general

welfare clause that says in effect, “and

anything whatsoever pleases you”? Does

this defect need correction?

What, in your opinion, makes this

contract binding upon the descendents of

those who approved it? Do you believe the

administration of a loyalty oath, is

deceptive when administered in a repeat-

after- me fashion upon induction into the

armed services? Do you approve? Do you

believe those who swear this oath have

any idea who the document’s enemies,

foreign and domestic are? If they do know

them, do they still have to obey orders

protecting such? Can a combat soldier

become a conscientious objector without

fear of retribution in the land o the free?

What makes the court upon which you

wish to serve, Supreme? Was it ordained

by God or men? Has any group of men

ever created something supreme, beyond

supreme foolishness? Why do you want

this job? Does having the last word in

statute and maritime law excite you? Get

your juices flowing?

Why is U.S. citizenship an accident of

birth and not a personal achievement?

Why are the ignorant allowed to vote or sit

on juries? Do you believe this is good

government and good law? When an

ignorant defendant sits before a jury of his

peers are they all likewise ignorant? If a

defendant is wise, does he get a jury of

wise peers? Who would decide such a

thing? Lawyers? How would they qualify to

judge wisdom and ignorance? Or does the

word peer mean economic class, here in

the land o the free?

Do you believe there can never be too

much law? Can you name any person who

ever wrote a good law? If so who? Do you

think creating new criminals day after day

is a proper function of good government?

Do you believe society has a responsibility

for the families of those they simply lock

out of sight? Do you think the sick people

in cages deserve any help whatsoever

upon release to society? Prior to release?

What kind of help? Would you use your

political influence to make such happen?

Do you wish you need not answer such

questions? Breathe easy. No one else will

ask them.
