Quote of the Week

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”Eleanor Roosevelt

The Court, Congress & Restoring Constitutional Order

This past year the Supreme Court has given America a masterclass in constitutional governance, and it’s time we all started paying attention. In a momentous term, the Court handed down opinions on some of the most contentious issues facing our nation, leaving pundits fuming and politicians scrambling.

For decades, Congress has avoided tough votes that might anger their base or endanger their reelection, and abdicated their responsibility to address crucial issues through legislation. 

This gridlock has created a vacuum that the Supreme Court, willingly or not, has at times filled by interpreting vague laws or devising new ones to fill a void through judicial fiat.

We must have a national conversation about the proper role of the judiciary. While the Supreme Court plays a vital role in protecting constitutional rights and resolving legal disputes, it is not the primary arena for settling political and social controversies.
