When the SCOTUS Justices fail to interpret the Constitution according to its intent and meaning at the time of our Founders, they are failing in their purpose, and must be removed from the bench as unfit for the duties required.

What is the significance of the U.S. Constitution? It is, literally, the charter of its own existence. Without the Constitution, the government is a power without a right. It cannot act or operate outside of its charter, period.

“Where the words of a constitution are unambiguous and in their commonly received sense lead to a reasonable conclusion, it should be read according to the natural and most obvious import of the framers, without resorting to subtle and forced construction for the purpose of limiting or extending its operation.” ~ A State Ex Rel. Torryson v. Grey A State Ex Rel. Torryson v. Grey, 21 Nev. 378, 32 P. 190.

“In the United States, Sovereignty resides in the people, who act through the organs established by the Constitution.” ~ Chisholm v. Georgia Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 Dall 419, 471

“Under our form of government, the legislature is not supreme ... like other departments of government, it can only exercise such powers as have been delegated to it, and when it steps beyond that boundary, its acts, like those of the most humble magistrate in the state who transcends his jurisdiction, are utterly void.” ~ Billings v. Hall 7 CA 1

“In my judgment the people of no nation can lose their liberty so long as a Bill of Rights like ours survives and its basic purposes are conscientiously interpreted, enforced and respected so as to afford continuous protection against old, as well as new, devices and practices which might thwart those purposes. I fear to see the consequences of the Court's practice of substituting its own concepts of decency and fundamental justice for the language of the Bill of Rights as its point of departure in interpreting and enforcing that Bill of Rights.” ~ Justice Hugo L. Black (1886-1971) US Supreme Court Justice Adamson v. California, 332 U.S. 46, 89 (Dissent) (1947)

“The public welfare demands that constitutional cases must be decided according to the terms of the Constitution itself, and not according to judges’ views of fairness, reasonableness, or justice. I have no fear of constitutional amendments properly adopted, but I do fear the rewriting of the Constitution by judges under the guise of interpretation.” ~ Justice Hugo L. Black (1886-1971) US Supreme Court Justice Lecture, Columbia University, 1968

“The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to “create” rights. Rather they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.” ~ Justice William J. Brennan (1906-1997) U. S. Supreme Court Justice 1982

“The right to revolt has sources deep in our history.” ~ William O. Douglas (1898-1980), U. S. Supreme Court Justice An Almanac of Liberty, 1954

“The strength of the constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are constitutional rights secure.” ~ Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Physicist and Professor, Nobel Prize 1921
