Neither Force Nor Will, But Merely Judgment?

When one branch of government shirks its responsibility and/or its authority in any manner, it opens the door for another branch to seize it.  How many times have you heard that abortion is the “law of the land” based upon the SCOTUS decision of 1973?  Where is this law written and from whence comes its authority?

We are told in Federalist 78 that the SCOTUS has neither FORCE nor WILL.  The other two branches bearing both of those qualities could not abdicate them since they are given by the people through the constitution, but they could ignore them in certain instances where it is politically expedient to do so.

FORCE belongs to the Executive Branch in that it is the one authority that bears the sword.  WILL, in particular, POLITICAL WILL, belongs to the Legislative Branch in that they bear the pen in the making of Law.  The Judicial Branch has merely Judgment.

When a legislator says that abortion is the law of the land they are in essence abdicating their duty to the American people by sidestepping their authority while laying it upon the SCOTUS who does not and cannot legally bear it.  This is done purely for political expediency.  For the Jurists, having no political accountability to their seat being the recipients of lifetime appointed positions, risk nothing in their grasp for legislative authority; whereas the legislator, being duly elected by the people, have to maintain their position by regular scheduled elections shirk their duty in tough decisions to maintain their seat of power.

They choose not to bear the risk of losing their seat over controversial hot-button issues and instead cower and hide behind the SCOTUS who does not bear that authority while pretending that they do.  For that, they should be rejected as representatives of the people.  They are neither statesmen nor patriots having rejected the will of the people displayed in the division of powers in our constitution.  These men and women are cowards who place personal comfort over right doing.

In 1973 the SCOTUS made a political decision based upon their political will rather than judgment and Congress has hidden behind that decision ever since.
