What Has Gone Wrong with the Supreme Court?

by Edward Spannaus

The members of the Supreme Court have abandoned the criteria of natural law as set forth by the Framers of the Constitution, and have drifted into the pernicious radical nominalism of Oliver Wendell Holmes, thereby laying the legal groundwork for police-state rule in the United States. Edward Spannaus analyzes the history of the Court’s Wade v. Roe decision as a case in point.

Documentation: Case studies of the police-state methods being used against labor, the military-industrial complex, and anti-abortion political protesters.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is now getting the “LaRouche treatment,” and independent savings and loan bankers are next on the hit-list.
