You can influence the Supreme Court of the United States, and it is easier to do than you might think. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has become the linchpin for preserving the Constitution of the United States of America.

Over the last 70 years, SCOTUS has been used to radically change the United States’ legal structure. Progressive justices, both Democratic and Republican, have used the power of the court to accomplish things that could never have been passed through Congress. This was one of the methods Progressives considered as ways to “get around” the limits on government power that the Constitution put into place.

As the people of the United States realized the profound changes the Supreme Court justices were making, they elected Republican presidents. Some Republican presidents started selecting Justices who would apply the Constitution as written instead of the way Progressive leaders desired. In 2016, the people elected President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices who held to the philosophy of Originalism and Textualism, creating the first majority originalist and textualist court in 70 years. Several previous, obviously unconstitutional decisions were reversed.

The pernicious Chevron Doctrine was struck down, removing the assumption that the administrative bureaucrats always know best, returning a semblance of independent judiciary review to administrative decisions.

The Bruen decision was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, confirming the Second Amendment protects the right of the people to bear arms.

Roe v. Wade was reversed, returning the power of regulating abortion to the States.

Those who favor a government of unlimited power were unhappy to see the Supreme Court daring to follow the Constitution. They threatened the Justices from the front steps of the highest court and refused to protect justices and encouraged acts of violence. They threatened to gain control of the court through the use of executive and congressional power.

Supreme Court justices are humans. They have varying degrees of courage. They should not, but can be intimidated. It appears that some justices, particularly Chief Justice Roberts, are afraid of the current administration, particularly regarding Second Amendment decisions.

A similar situation happened 90 years ago when the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration threatened to pack SCOTUS. The court backed off and started reversing decisions. Eventually, as Roosevelt was re-elected to an unprecedented four terms, the court became entirely Progressive. Justices read the media. They watch elections.

Constitutional Scholar Mark Smith has repeatedly stated: If former President Donald Trump is re-elected in November, especially if the Congress comes under Republican control, Chief Justice Roberts will gain confidence, lose fear, and the court will rapidly start to restore Second Amendment rights, with several decisions designed to slap down those circuit courts which are defying the Supreme Court on the Second Amendment.

This is how we influence the Supreme Court of the United States:

Elect Donald Trump as president of the United States. Keep control of the House of Representatives in Republican hands. Gain control of the Senate by Republicans. Supreme Court Justices who believe in originalism, textualism and the rule of law will be emboldened. They will expect to gain reinforcements on the court, instead of threats to pack the court. They will expect respect and aid from the executive branch instead of not so subtle threats.

Elect a government that is friendly to the Constitution, and the Supreme Court will be emboldened to uphold the Constitution.

From the article: Constitutional Scholar Mark Smith has repeatedly stated: If former President Donald Trump is re-elected in November, especially if the Congress comes under Republican control, Chief Justice Roberts will gain confidence, lose fear, and the court will rapidly start to restore Second Amendment rights, with several decisions designed to slap down those circuit courts which are defying the Supreme Court on the Second Amendment. Reading this makes me very happy. I pray that all three wind up with republican majority and we can start slapping states that break the constitution and impose infringements that should not exist. They have… Read more »

My worry in the long view. What about the lawyers, attorneys, etc., coming out of legal colleges. Now and in the future? Will there even be enough Judge candidates in original constitutionalism to make a difference? The colleges are teaching socialist garbage or that these legal dogs are the first line of control for the plebes. That and to make as much money as possible, ethics be damned.

Can we clone Thomas? Some of the ‘conservatives’ have turned out to be a little squishy. But still better than the one that doesn’t know what a woman is I suppose.

Dean: “BINGO”. You hit the nail squarely on the head. 🙂

One of your best articles, Dean!!

Turncoat Roberts has long acted as though he was controlled by something or someone. I have long wondered if Jeff Epstein, or someone in a similar position, might have pics or vids of Roberts “with a live boy or a dead girl” as the saying goes. Then you have his little buddy, Kavanaugh, who as a clerk for Roberts, wrote the opinion “justifying” the individual mandate (fine, fee, tax, or whatever) penalty in Obamacare, for failing to have health insurance. This should have made Kavanaugh ineligible for consideration for SCOTUS, ….but it didn’t. Kavanaugh is a statist, not a Constitutionalist.… Read more »

Oh good effing grief!! What is it with everybody, that they still can’t see that the ENTIRE legal system, from the USSC/SCOTUS all the way down to the Justice of the Peace (along with Barney Fife) is corrupted and cannot be trusted? WHY is it that court decisions get reversed? Is it really due to an honest mistake being discovered, or additional evidence was submitted, or the fake judge was having a bad hair day or something else? Since the legal system cannot be trusted to dispense real justice at all times, then it shouldn’t be trusted at ANY time!!… Read more »

The top photo of the article is of a Mini 14. I’ve heard two things, people either think they’re greater than an AR15, or they’re absolute garbage.
Does anyone own one? Shot one? Any opinions on the Mini 14 or the Mini 30?

Having lost all respect for the supreme court which began with Roberts who has used options not the rule of law. Today the highest court in the land that all American’s could expect true justice from plays ping pong sending cases back to the lower courts when political views or politics come into question. Trumps pics proved the distain the democrats have for the current supreme court configuration. Harris and the democrats will stop at nothing to alter the highest court in the land. Socialism has taken over we are just moments away from a true Marxist government 2024 will… Read more »
