Who Fills the 9 Supreme Court Justice Seats Today? These Demigods Are Hand Picked by the President to Rule Over All Americans and Serve Dark Elite Agendas of Power.
Since 1869, there have been 9 Supreme Court Justice seats in the highest court in the land, and their appointment is for life. Prior to the Judiciary Act of 1869 however, the number of seats varied from 6 to 10 at different times.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to increase the number of Justices on the court in 1937, in an effort to add judges who would approve the New Deal, which the court deemed unconstitutional.
Although Congress did not approve his plan, Roosevelt was able to successfully appoint 8 Justices and pass the New Deal after all.
The 9 Supreme Court Justice positions are held for life, once a judge is appointed, but they can choose to retire, or they may be impeached by Congress if necessary.
When a Justice dies or retires, the incumbent president is allowed to nominate a successor, which Congress must approve. Generally, the president's decision is based on the political ideology of the candidate, in an effort to ensure the court's alignment to the administration's agenda.
Today, the court is headed by Chief Justice John Roberts, and also includes Justices John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito. These are the members of the 9 Supreme Court Justice Judges.
Most presidents have been able to appoint at least one Justice to the Supreme Court during his term in office, but recent presidents have selected 2 or more.
The 9 Supreme Court Justice generally sees cases regarding federal law, which usually require them to interpret the Constitution and make a decision about the constitutionality of the case. Or at least that is what we hope they do.
When they make a ruling in a case, it is done by a majority vote of all 9 Supreme Court Justices. If their decision can be applied to many other cases in lower courts, it is considered a "precedent," which is usually binding in all lower courts.
Precedents are used by lawyers and judges all over the country, either to make a point for their client and encourage the judge or jury to take action according to the precedent, or as a valid reason for a ruling. In essence, relating one case to a similar case in the past can save time and also ensure that law is more uniform.
If the Supreme Court sets a precedent, it does not force laws and government procedures to change around the country, but if similar cases come up, the precedent can be cited and changes can be made in the jurisdiction of that court. When it comes to legal precedents, there are many which contradict each other, but the precedent from the highest court will trump all others.
Supreme Court Justices are nominated according to the president's political affiliation because it's important to the administration that the court is more likely to agree with the overall agenda. Candidates are usually asked questions about the decisions they would make in different types of cases.
What may be more important than their stance on issues like abortion, gay marriage or gun control, is how they make their decisions. Do they first consider the Constitution of the United States, or do they look at the legislation involved?
We should know how a Justice feels about our Constitution. What do they believe the Framers wanted to achieve? Will they consider the liberty of the individual first and foremost, or will they support laws that encroach on individual rights in order to fulfill some other purpose for the "greater good?"
Our government is divided into three separate branches: The Executive, Legislative and Judicial, for the purpose of balancing the others and making it more difficult for the government to achieve unconstitutional power. It seems today that balance is slipping to the wayside.
Right now, the Democrats are the majority in both sides of Congress, and we have elected a Democrat to the presidency as well. That means two branches of the government are currently aligned. It is expected that anything put forth by the president will be approved by Congress, and anything approved by Congress will not be vetoed by the Executive Branch.
Of course the bigger picture is such that it does not matter if control leans more to the Democrats or Republicans because in the end, both parties serve the same agenda of elitist control. Alignment of governmental branches does facilitate the process of manipulation, but the clever NWO string-pullers will always get their way no matter who is holding the highest offices of Government.
