Activist justices triumph in new SCOTUS ruling

 

 

Dear John,

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court bypassed Congress and by judicial fiat inserted sexual orientation and gender identity into Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The Court attempts to pass off its decision as the inevitable product of the textualist school of statutory interpretation championed by our late colleague Justice Scalia, but no one should be fooled. The Court's opinion is like a pirate ship. It sails under a textualist flag, but what it actually represents is a theory of statutory interpretation that Justice Scalia excoriated––the theory that courts should "update" old statutes so that they better reflect the current values of society.

Justice Alito further dissented stating, "There is only one word for what the Court has done today: legislation. The document that the Court releases is in the form of a judicial opinion interpreting a statute, but that is deceptive. … A more brazen abuse of our authority to interpret statutes is hard to recall." 

"Of course, Schumer's attacks were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘wrong!’ He should be CENSURED," Hawley tweeted Friday, in response to a video of CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who stated Schumer's remarks sounded "like a physical threat."

Co-sponsored by 14 senators, Hawley’s resolution claims Schumer’s comments were "an attempt to unduly influence the judicial decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States… ."

We agree with Hawley. And we agree that Schumer should be censured for his dangerous and inappropriate comments.
