It’s pretty clear that the Judicial System is currently the most corrupt government institution in the US. Judges and lawyers have become ideologically aligned with the left and are openly defiant of the Constitution and any laws that get in the way of their political ideology and activism. This isn’t limited to blue states, as every state including Texas is filled with leftist activists who are lawyers, DAs, and judges, etc. The corruption is dire and every facet of the Judicial system has been ideologically captured by the left. They are creating laws out of thin air through rulings in favor of leftist activism and the right just accepts it. I know this isn’t a new phenomenon, but the blatant disregard and arrogance the Judicial Branch displays is worse than ever. The state of Judicial Power makes it seem that the Founding Fathers failed to understand how the Justice System could be so systemically molded into a tool for enforcing authoritarianism. I do wonder if the Founding Fathers intended for the citizenry to be the real check and balance against the Judicial System through either non-compliance or direct resistance to tyranny of the courts?

The Founding Fathers literally added an asterisk to everything that said "if this doesn't work out you have a responsibility to kill people in the name of fixing it".
The taste for that has been trained right out of people and none of what the system does today was ever intended by the founders. There is really not a single behavior or function of the government that is as it was 300 years ago except "shoot at protesters if the protest is bad enough" which they built into it despite their literally endless insistence that people will have a responsibility have to overthrow the government if it goes bad.
They lived in a period of violent revolution and wrote under pen names to avoid being arrested or killed. Today, they would be arrested or killed. They expected violence to the point that they baked it into their system of peace as a check and balance. It has all fallen apart, even the violence.
Genuine question - Where exactly is that asterisk? Which document and where if you don’t mind? I can make assumptions thats what they were meaning in certain areas, but I am curious exactly which part you are referencing.
That is just the meme of it. If you actually dig into the writings of the time you see that it is a pervasive concept and not something that boils down to a few bite-size quotes to BTFO source-fags and historical revisionists. In that one regard, it's not too dissimilar to studying the bible. If you are not either and you are genuinely interested, I would say just go ahead and read Common Sense, and then Federalist Papers (common sense first though).
I should add that Alexander Hamilton famously succeeded in arguing for a federal standing army in a later Federalist Paper, and up until that point, and for about a hundred years following that point (until around the time of an upheaval wherein hundreds of thousands of White men were killed on American soil in pursuit of eliminating the right of human beings to leave globohomo) it was considered to be a retarded and evil idea. The life of Hamilton is the single greatest argument that the jews aren't directly responsible for globohomo lol. So saying "founding fathers" in a lump sum way is kind of an ignorant thing we do today.
Appreciate it. I am genuinely interested because realistically when I was growing up and in the school system, any time a class goes over the Declaration/Constitution it’s very surface level and the only thing they really harp on are dates and people’s names. Rarely would any teacher go into depth of the meaning behind the words and how they apply today. Or maybe they did and I didn’t give a crap as a 5th grader. But as I’ve aged and see the globohomo encroaching from every angle it makes me want to become more familiar with general US and world history. However a problem I’ve run into is I have to start really scrutinizing source material because I’ve come to truly realize just how much the phrase “winners write the history” actually means. Is what I’m reading accurate to factual events that occurred? Or has it been propagandized for so long it starts to overlap the truth and overtake it completely - sort of like the recent Yasuke bullshit or how I’m sure Covid, Jan 6th, etc… will all be portrayed in 100 yrs.
I would reckon you have a high linguistic IQ. I would dive into Common Sense. It's not written in today's style of English but it is still modern English. If it bores you (personally I'm not into non-fiction and I have to force it) there are lots of study books on it, but if you choose to learn about it secondhand then you have to pay attention to the disposition/bias/motives of a second layer author/publisher.
That's something about education in general, that second layer of disposition/bias/motive on part of educators (in our country public educators are representatives of the State, another idea the Founding Fathers and maybe even Hamilton would have abhored). The reward for robbing the next generation of the truth is unfathomable control over society. Teachers are not usually bad people but they are caught up between the State's greed and their own C.Y.A. measures. It really pays, as an adult with a passing interest in some aspect of history, to dig into things yourself. It is lucky that this period of American history is within our grasp, only a few hundred years old, and that real pieces of it are still littered around for us to examine in plain, firsthand, in an understandable rendition of our own language.
