The Honorable John Glover Roberts, Jr.
Chief Justice of the United States
The Supreme Court
1 First Street, N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20543
Dear Chief Justice Roberts,
I am disappointed in your recent ruling on the abdominal health care law. It appears that you have ascribed to yourself the rewriting of law to suit your own purposes much as President Obama does aside from what our Constitution says.
Article III
Section 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Section 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; –to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; –to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; –to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; –to Controversies between two or more States; — between a State and Citizens of another State; –between Citizens of different States; –between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or subjects.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed with in any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to Declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Article VI
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Further disappointment occurs in delving into the myriad of convolution this healthcare bill encompasses and embraces.
The appearance of those embracing this abomination in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches is similar to the actions of an individual crouching behind any smattering of cover available to wait the birth of future generations. These individuals or entities desire to plunder, rape, pillage, abort, and otherwise destroy any vestiges of the freedoms and liberty granted “we the people” under the constitution.
In the opinion of my sixty nine year old mind, this court discarded “we the people” destroying our hope for honesty and integrity where our last hope lies. The justices and chief justices of the US Supreme Court beginning with Justice James Wilson in 1789 supported the people of this great republic not the politicians.
It is appalling that a Chief Justice of the US Supreme court would cow down to the political aberrations of politicians bent on destroying our great republic rather than support the very constitution, which allowed his appointment.
Sincerely,
Morris L. Clopton
