THE LETTER: A Letter From A US Citizen Whom, It Seems, Feels The Same Way As Me About The Problem Of Judges Using Their Jobs, Without Constraints, To Abuse The Meanings Of Constitutional Law And To Violate Their Own Oaths

Republished by Danny Hammond.  This and other posts will be placed not chronologically, but by relevance.  They are in the order that I wish I would have learned the information.  DLH


 I have not edited any of the words of this letter, however, I did add spacing since the writer (perhaps a bad student) wrote this harsh observation as a single paragraph and it was a little hard to read.   DLH

 


THE LETTER:


At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government.

Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous;

that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large;

that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before anyone has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance.

In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.
