two
youngest Justices on this Court are two of the Court’s most liberal members. It
is no stretch to conclude that this Court will be 7-2, some would say even 8-1,
liberal versus conservative in the very near future. We see that as an ominous
development, not just because we tend to be in the conservative wing of the
Court, but because for many decades this Court has generally been balanced between liberal and
conservative. Now, however, and soon, the Court will no longer enjoy such a
balance, as the Court will be re-constructed to lean heavily towards the
liberal political philosophy of the occupant of the White House.”
             CBS
whispered to CNN, “This is unbelievable .
Members of the Court never talk like
this….at least in public. Something’s up. They’re going to do more than just
criticize their fellow Justices.”
             CNN
replied, “Yeah, but do what ?”
             Questioning
media didn’t have to wait long to find out what Justices Scanlon and Thomson
had in mind. Justice Scanlon was known for being much more vocal than Justice
Thomson, who rarely spoke from the bench during oral argument of counsel.
Justice Scanlon continued his statement, “All of this to say that we, Justice
Thomson and I, have arrived at a decision…. We are each….tendering….our respective….resignations as Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court….effective immediately … .that
is, today .”
             Bedlam
quickly ensued in the chambers of the nation’s highest Court, as several of the
gathered media ran from the room to make cell calls. Those remaining competed
to get the Justices’ attention for their shouted questions. The clamor was so
rancorous that the Justices couldn’t make out a single intelligible question.
             Justice
Thomson, with his deep, sonorous voice boomed into the melee finally managing
to restore some semblance of order, “Quiet…. Quiet ….You’re
all going to have to quiet down, so
Justice Scanlon can finish our statement. Then….and only then….we’ll try and answer your questions. Alright? Justice
Scanlon, please proceed.”
               “Justice Thomson and I are fully aware that
many Americans will not understand
why we would resign from the Court at this time. We’ll briefly summarize the
steps that led us to make this decision. First, the Court is about to change, due
to age and the other issues I just mentioned. It’s not a question of whether the Court is about to become
off-balanced, in our view, to the liberal side, but only when that will occur. The American people made that decision with
their recent re-election of the President.
             “Secondly,
we hasten to note the fact that this Court did
not see fit to overrule the law adopted by the legislative branch creating
the most massive federal government interference with the private sector ever
devised by the mind of man. We speak of the government takeover of the medical
industry, fully one-sixth of the nation’s economy. This Court ignored the obvious Constitutional
violations in the barely-adopted bill, finding that the new law amounted to a
tax, though that word was nowhere used in the bill, and never by the bill’s
sponsors, including the White House. Our Chief Justice, whom we hold in high
regard, was the deciding vote in
upholding this sweeping law. What is the relevance to our decision to step down
from the Court? Simply this, if this Court, while generally balanced
ideologically, would not stop the headlong march to socialize the American free
enterprise system, then with more liberal Justices why would we not expect this
Court to put its stamp of judicial approval on virtually anything that this Administration enacts into law, either
in Congress or by executive fiat?
             “Some
will object to our resignation, though it’s obviously our personal right to
decide how long we will serve, how long we will continue to fight.
