Much to the consternation of the Democrat leadership, President Trump is now in the Unique position of being able to appoint another Supreme Court Justice. This is an historical event, and one of great significance for these United States of America.
I don't think any President in history has ever appointed two SCOTUS in his first term. Certainly President Trump will set a record if he has the opportunity to appoint four during his 8 year tenure in office. This is one reason why the evangelical vote came out for President Trump. They know that over the years an activist Court has taken God out of the Marketplace and schools. They know SCOTUS has attempted to destroy God's plans for marriage between one man and one woman. They are aware that SCOTUS has tried to redefine gender, and forced an unwanted homosexual agenda on descent Americans. This list goes on and on with so many decisions made that are based only on the will of a minority of Americans. We have had to suffer through bad interpretations of our Constitution and fundamental unwanted changes to our way of life for some 45 years. Here is a reply to an activist judge who believes that the courts rule America:
THE COURTS DO NOT RULE AMERICA
Those who think they do are Wrong. The people vote for a President in a Representative Republic. The President under the Constitution is given certain powers. One is to Appoint SCOTUS members. The decisions of those Judges is not voted on by the People; only indirectly because the people gave the duly elected President the authority to appoint those judges. This is how a Republic functions.
I would assume by your interpretation of the Constitution you may be a judge; an Activist Judge. If so, your honor, you are attempting to usurp the intent of the Constitution which lays out the guidelines for our Republic. Those include the separate but equal branches o Government. That means a judge cannot issue orders from the bench which restrict the powers of the Legislative or Executive branch.
One main thing missing in your diatribe is acknowledgment of the fact that Jefferson originally wrote the word "Inalienable" rights. Those are rights given to each person by our Creator, God. Though some argue that Unalienable and Inalienable are synonymous, in 1776 that was not the generally accepted case. In the original document which sits in the NYC Public Library. You'll find that other members at the convention had Jefferson cross out "Inalienable" because they thought it conveyed too much of a religious tone in the document. Jefferson's original intent was slightly changed. However since over 90% of he members who signed and approved the document were Christians they believed the original message still demonstrated that our American Republic was always to be seen as a Unique nation based on Christian ideals. The document was strongly crafted along the lines of the Mayflower compact drawn up some 150 years earlier to govern the first American colony at Plymouth based strictly on the Bible
