ERICKSON: Quid Est Veritas?

Submitted 7 years ago by ActRight Community

"Quid est veritas?" Pontius Pilate asked Jesus of Nazareth. What is truth? It is in short supply in the 21st century. Western civilization is not really in decline, as many fret. It is reverting to its Greco-Roman pre-Christian norms.

There exist understandable reasons why well-intentioned Republicans who think the worst of Donald Trump could be convinced to support him. Among those reasons is that the next president will likely have the opportunity to appoint a few Supreme Court justices. Despite Trump's many shortcomings, he is better fit to do so than Hillary Clinton, right? Not necessarily. The Supreme Court's duty is to overturn unconstitutional acts, including those of the president. President Trump would not likely nominate justices who would constrain his power to its constitutionally limited bounds. Professor Randy E. Barnett, Director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution, told THE WEEKLY STANDARD, I am not saying that Trump's judicial picks might not, in some respects, be better than Hillary's. But George Bush picked John Roberts to be Chief Justice because of his commitment to judicial deference to the politically accountable branches of government—the Congress and the President himself. And that's the judicial philosophy that gave us the Supreme Court's Obamacare decision. What makes us think that a President Trump would appoint a justice who would stand up to him? That's just not the type of person he is.
