Ask a comrade: How does SCOTUS know what others mean to say?

People ask me all kinds of questions and I give them all kinds of answers. It is time I have my own "Ask a Comrade" column. Let's begin.



Q: Why does the Supreme Court decide what a recently passed law means? The people who wrote and passed the law are still around, why don't the authors get to say what it means?

A: That's just the American constitutional process. Which the framers didn't know about until the very first Supreme Court divined it hidden in the Constitution. This is called a ruling by divined right. Only judges, or better yet justices, can decipher the true meanings because they're encrypted in what they call the legal code.

Then there's the Constitution. Being a living document, it needs doctoring.

The court not only says what the Constitution and laws mean, they also define the words used. And so 'fine' means 'tax' and 'state' really means 'national government.' As a result, lawmakers don't know the meaning of the laws they're writing or passing until the Supreme Court tells them afterward. This explains why Congress must pass a law in order to find out what's in it. These are laws of unintended consequences.

You can think of Supreme Court justices as sort-of law seers. They wear black robes, sprinkle their speech with Latin, and meet in special justice chambers to communicate with the spirit of the law. All this helps them reach a decision, which often require a lot of language stretching because some decisions are quite a reach.

Thank you Comrade Beria. This makes it easier on the mind.
 

What concerns me, most of all, is that this actually makes sense. I thought the whole idea was to have everyone so confused that they give up trying to figure it out and go back to watching UN Idol, hosted by Ayatolla Obama. I'm not sure this information advances The Party's™ agenda.

Liberalism 101 Lesson 114:


Statist/Socialist/Progressives see the constitution of the United States as what we call a “living, breathing document”. This is a cover we use for molding and shaping the constitution for our own ends for as we all know it was written by dead white slave owners over 200 years ago and none of it applies to the modern nirvana that Liberal/Progressive/Socialists seek to create to improve the lives of all Amerikans.


It is for the purpose of expanding the power and reach of the federal leviathan that Liberal/Marxist/Progressives seek to populate the Supreme Court and all of its lower federal court system with as many of our fellow travelers as we can so that they can find whatever Liberal/Progressive/Socialists need to negate the constitution emanating from its penumbra.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I always thought they used magic decoder rings.
 

 

How does SCOTUS know what others mean to say?

Well, they just(ice) do! It's that simple.

And, that's all you need to know.
