Power playing is not about the US Constitution

What the country is witnessing within the corruption of the Supreme Court is power playing without regard to the US Constitution. The Christmas parties of Thomas is about containing an agenda before any proceedings are even begun. It is no different than fancy vacations, or financial favors. It is about a preconceived agenda that was and is the ground work for the political right wing and control of the country without regard to the US Constitution.

The right wing majority on the Supreme Court is corrupt and seek parts of the US Constitution to justify the agenda. That is not at all about constitutional interpretation of the law. Agendas are about power over the US Constitution and not about upholding it. The most resent decision regarding affirmative action is stark in proof of that agenda. 

Affirmative Action was legally legislated to solve a problem. The problem was legitimate and still exists today.

The USA has a shameful history of racism in slavery. The country fought a civil war to defeat it and bring the right to live a free life to all Americans. There were constitutional amendments made to bring those freedoms to the highest levels of law to enshrine the human toll of that war.

Yet, somehow, the current Supreme Court majority refuses to look at the country’s history, the long struggle for civil rights, the innumerable members of White Supremists in prison for acts of violence and murder (including members of the judiciary) and facts regarding racism and its injustice to simply carry out an agenda of self-righteousness hubris. 

Instead of upholding legitimate legislation that provides a measure to correct a racist past it CHOSE to find words that would negate the civil war, the deaths of that war, the constitutional amendments identifying the very reason for that horrible war and take a path not recognized by stare deciss. 

That is a Supreme Court grossly out of step with the US Constitution, the stark reality of the people of this country with an agenda for enormous cultural change to satisfy their benefactors that paved their path to their current wealth and job security. 

The Supreme Court majority is poison to the very freedom this country is built on.
