The greatest existential threat to America and our constitutional republic is our federal judiciary
Recently, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a speech at the University of Texas Austin Law School, televised on CSPAN, that criticized progressivism as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago. Justice Thomas said that a spirit of "cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus" toward America by Americans has taken hold. He blamed intellectuals in our nation's colleges and universities for perpetuating a trend in which the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence have "fallen out of favor." Justice Thomas opined that progressivism embraces a belief that our rights and dignities come not from God, rather they come from government. He said it requires of the people to be subservient and weak which is incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.
While Justice Thomas recognizes progressivism as being an existential threat to America, he ignores the greater existential threat to America posed by our federal judiciary, particularly our US District Courts and our US Courts of Appeals. Justice Thomas' claim that intellectuals in our colleges and universities have perpetuated a trend in which the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence have fallen out of favor have some credibility. However, our lower federal courts have displayed far more contempt for the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the rule of law than the progressive movement, Congress, and the Executive branch of government combined.
It is our federal courts (judges and court personnel), however, that operate with the expectation that the people be subservient, weak and obedient to the courts; and not question judgments from the courts, even those that are clearly erroneous and violate the rule of law and precedent. The problem is that judges in our federal courts are not subjected to any meaningful oversight from with the judiciary or from the legislative and executive branches of our federal government. Judges have absolute power. In the words of Lord Acton, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Federal judges are ABOVE THE LAW. Proof of this is that during a conversation with Senior Deputy San Jose City Attorney Matthew Pritchard in 2021 relative to litigation in a discrimination lawsuit I filed against the City of San Jose in 2006, he said that the law is whatever judges say it is. He also said that the courts will not reverse their decisions in cases even if the decisions are clearly erroneous. These statements by Pritchard have been proven to be true based on the US District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' refusal to reverse the unlawful and unconstitutional judgments in my lawsuit against the City base on my motions for relief from judgment.
Justice Thomas' hypocrisy is best exemplified by his refusal, along with the Supreme Court to take action on a criminal scheme involving San Jose city officials, my former attorney, the US District Court in San Jose and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to obstruct justice in my lawsuit against the City of San Jose mentioned above. The actions of these criminal conspirators pose a greater existential threat to America, democracy and the rule of law than progressivism. Yet, Justice Thomas and the Supreme Court refused to take action on a complaint report I submitted that details the criminal misconduct committed by the above officials. Below is the link to my website that contains the complaint report I submitted to Justice Thomas and the Supreme Court, as well as to several members of Congress in leadership positions requesting an investigation, all to no avail:
