An Infamous Ruling

By Paul Craig Roberts

Twenty years and three months ago I wrote an article on the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. This was the US Supreme Court decision that racially integrated public schools in America. Liberal elites saw the decision as a hallmark ruling for racial integration.

More importantly, it was the exercise of legislative authority by the Supreme Court and the substitution of coercion for good will and the will of the people. The court’s decision led to the Court pre-empting Congress’ power in other decisions, such as Roe v. Wade, which a later court, realizing the Court’s violation of the separation of powers overturned. The Brown decision also opened the door to the legalization of homosexual marriage.

Progressive liberals only see court decisions in terms of whether they are supportive of their progressive agendas, not in terms of whether the balance of powers is respected. Liberals have made it completely clear that if the Constitution stands in the way of their agendas, the Constitution has to go.

Consequently, liberals have worked to supplant the people’s will as protected in the Constitution with their will. Liberals attribute to their agendas more morality than to the preservation of government by the people. ......
