Sandra Day O'Connor Complains About Alleged "Dictatorship"
According to Life News, EX-Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor has complained about the very lightweight attempts made by Congresspeople, Senators, and the President to save Terri Schiavo's life last year. Pro-abortion Sandra Day O'Connor feels attempts to save the life of an innocent person are equivalent to "strongarming" the judiciary.
Despite the fact that the Constitution calls for THREE EQUAL BRANCHES of government, in my opinion, Sandra Day O'Connor's statement is tantamount to saying there must be *NO* checks and balances on the judiciary beyond nomination by the President and consent by the Senate. In my opinion, any attempt by the weakened legislative or executive branches to exercise and preserve power provided to them by the Constitution is the "beginning of dictatorship" in her eyes.
Dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Saddam Hussein, etc. have caused millions to be killed. Dictators are not usually interested in saving innocent lives. The Supreme Court has caused millions of innocents to be killed thanks to Roe v. Wade and various other cases (Planned Parenthood vs. Casey, for example, during O'Connor's co-reign). Hmm...
It is my opinion that there IS a dictatorship right now: a dictatorship by the Supreme Court. Laws seem to pop up when legislators feel the composition of the Supreme Court is favorable to a particular view. Take the recent law in South Dakota banning abortion. People think there is a chance of getting a 5-4 pro-life decision out of the Supreme Court. (I personally don't think it has a chance. One could HOPE that Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito will vote pro-life. Even Alito, subjected to much slander and abuse by pro-aborts, does not have a straight pro-life voting record. Beyond those four, the other five can be counted on to make pro-abort decisions. It will still be 5-4 in favor of infanticide.) That is the only reason why this law has been put in place. While I am glad these legislators care about the right to life, it's sad when laws respecting the right to life can only be put in place depending on who is occupying the bench at the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court decisions are subject to the whims of whomever is sitting on the bench at the time. In 1857, there were enough racist justices on the Supreme Court to form a blatantly evil opinion in Dred Scott vs. Sanford. The ruling denied personhood to African Americans. It was a pro-slavery ruling. Read about it on Wikipedia. In 1973, there were enough pro-abortion justices on the Supreme Court to deny personhood to innocent human babies.
If "the law" truly says we have a right to slaughter innocent human babies, why were there ANY dissenters to the evil Roe v. Wade decision? It is often said that the justices on the Supreme Court have some of the most brilliant legal minds. If so, why couldn't they concur? Why was it not a 9-0 opinion?
Be her own CHOICE, Sandra Day O'Connor is, thankfully, no longer in power. She will be subject to the laws legislated from the bench of the Supreme Court just like the rest of us. She will no longer have the ability to hand out execution sentences to innocent human babies by voting pro-abortion in Supreme Court decisions.
By the efforts of some, society has taken God out of almost every aspect of society. He has given us Ten Commandments (one of which states Thou shalt not kill). We have an Infallible and Perfect Judge Who has given us all the laws we need. While we choose to ignore them on earth, each of us will eventually face that Perfect and Infallible Judge to give an accounting of our earthly life. Then we will be sent to Purgatory (with eventual eternity in Heaven) or we will be sent to hell.
Jesus said "Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me." Innocent human babies and people like Terri Schiavo are the least of God's people. The brutal acts that have been done to them have been done to God Himself.
Let us pray that those who support child sacrifice and sacrifice of innocent born people like Terri Schiavo will turn around. Let us pray that they will convert, confess, and repent. And of course, let us remember that nobody is perfect. EVERYONE must continue to convert by avoiding every sin possible. With the exception of Jesus and His and our Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary, no human being is without sin or some sort. May the peace of Jesus Christ be with you always.
