I don’t want to put words in this lawyer/youtuber’s mouth, but it seems like the Supreme Court is his god. I think he’s correct when he says the Constitution gives the powers they have to the Supreme Court. But does that mean there’s no higher standard to be able to discern whether they are right or wrong on a topic?

At first, I thought this guy was just arguing based on the pragmatics of what the law is, but it seems he really is incapable of determining whether the Supreme Court is right or wrong, or at least has completely submitted to them. If that is the case, the Supreme Court is his god. He would have had no problem with owning slaves before the 13th Amendment. He apparently has no problem with abortion or gay marriage. I can only go by what he’s said, and he never responded to my last question.

I think there are many Christians who give powers that only God has to the state, and in so doing, they are guilty of idolatry.

Another interesting point he made in the original video is that it was William Rehnquist (a conservative justice) who voted in the majority to decide that DUI checkpoints don’t violate the 4th Amendment. Conservative justices have also given us Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton. I say this to point out that the strategy of conservatives in electing a Republican at all costs so that he will be able to appoint conservative justices and turn the tide in this country is nothing more than a pipe dream, and there is no reason to think that it will suddenly start working in the future.

The Constitution has failed. There are some good points to it, but it has given us what we’ve got, which is tyranny.

Here’s the conversation in the comments of his Youtube video. I will happily refrain from watching or commenting on his videos.

I don’t care to link to his video, as someone who thinks slavery, abortion and gay marriage are acceptable if the Supreme Court says so really does have zero credibility, but if you really want to see it, there’s enough information in this article to find it if you wish.
