The founders envisioned the Supreme Court to be the weakest of the three branches. But through judicial activism, the courts have become very powerful. Many conservatives are concerned about President Biden’s nominee to the high court because of her track record of “judicial activism,” which means legislating (not adjudicating) from the bench.

Whoever sits on the Supreme Court wields a great deal of power today—arguably more than the founders of American intended (as noted by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist #81).

There is no doubt that black lives matter, as do all human lives—since we are all made in the image of God. But there are some serious questions about the organization, Black Lives Matter, and their alleged misuse of tens of millions of dollars in donations. Dr. Paul Kengor is a bestselling author on politics, […]
