The activist Court, then and now, only acts to advance its theocratic ideologies and corporate mastery over its enslaved legal fiction chattel. 3 Reply E Archer, NYC 10/30/17 Is he thus saying there are no courts of Justice? Or that law and justice are two different things and that he stands with the law, and justice be damned? Sounds like Holmes... 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 10/30/17 The pride of lawless legalists, who reserve unto themselves the right to rend the law beyond recognition, is going beforethis nation's destruction.
