Source: Tenth Amendment Center
by Michael Boldin

‘The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary.’ That’s Thomas Jefferson – sounding the alarm over what he saw as the greatest threat to the Constitution and your liberty. He gave us four main warnings: * Consolidation is death to freedom. * Judges can be just as corrupt and power-hungry as any politician. * The courts are the engine of consolidation. * And the final disaster – judicial supremacy turning the ‘land of the free’ into an oligarchy ruled by black robes.” (05/28/25)
