Supreme Arrogance: How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Wrecked America

Supreme Arrogance is a conservative’s guide to key decisions made by the Supreme Court that have helped to destroy the United States as it was conceived by the founders of our nation. Author and attorney Chris Marrou goes through decisions and shows just how the Court made them, often with no attention to the Constitution or legal precedent. For example: • Roe v. Wade was decided based not on the Constitution, but on “penumbras formed by emanations” that one justice felt from the Bill of Rights. • In order to consider Obamacare, Chief Justice John Roberts had to decide that health care penalty payments weren’t a tax. Then, having done so, he decided the payments were a tax and therefore constitutional. • In a key decision allowing the federal government power over Americans, the justices decided that wheat raised by a farmer to feed his own family and farm animals somehow became “interstate commerce.” • Mapp v. Ohio, the case that allows many criminals to go free because evidence is excluded, came to the Supreme Court as an obscenity case with no mention of evidentiary problems. • The case that allows people to use the f-word anywhere, anytime was decided because post office customers didn’t attack a young man wearing a jacket with the word printed on it. If you believe the Constitution is supposed to mean what it says, you will be appalled by what you read in Supreme Arrogance.
