SACRAMENTO, CA – As the United States Supreme Court wraps up an historic session, the California Republican Assembly (CRA) is declaring it a victory for the Constitution.
“This was a history changing year for the Supreme Court,” declared Johnnie Morgan, the President of CRA. “They made it clear that the Constitution is the law of the land and will not be manipulated to meet the whims of politicians.”
During the last few weeks, the Court issued multiple landmark opinions across multiple subject areas. And in each case they focussed on constitutional precepts and principles.
In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which declared no right to an abortion exists in the Constitution, the Court stated that the previous court decision was influecenced more by public pressure than the Constitution or history and that they were correcting the error. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, which codified the right to possess a firearm outside of one’s home for self-defense, the Court leaned on the plain text of the Constitution (The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed) and the history surrounding the Second Amendment.
In two cases that dealt with religious liberty, Carson v. Makin & Kennedy v. Bremerton School Dist., the Court re-established the proper relationship between the “establishment” and “free exercise” clauses of the First Amendment dealing with religion, declaring that the former cannot supersede the latter. And on its closing day, the Court, via West Virginia v. EPA, recognized the importance of the separation of powers by prohibiting the Environmental Protection Agency from attempting to legislate from the executive branch of government.
“This session was a clear victory for the Constitution,” said Morgan.”And it would not have happened if it were not for the promises kept by former President Donald Trump and the Republican members of the United States Senate. They committed to putting constitutionalists on the Supreme Court. And they delivered.”
