Summary

How did the Supreme Court move from its essential job of interpreting the Constitution into the realm of political activism? And why, until recently, has the Supreme Court been so dominated by the Left? This is the story of the transformation of the Supreme Court by three progressive icons: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Louis Brandeis, and Felix Frankfurter. Holmes Jr. blazed the left-wing trail with his radical new vision of an evolving, “living” Constitution. Brandeis and Frankfurter used their positions as Supreme Court justices to run a secret political activist network that influenced decision-making at the highest levels of both Congress and the White House.   Sponsors Jase Wouldn’t it be nice if you lived in a country where you didn’t have to constantly worry that your government is lying to you? A country where you could take it for granted that those in charge weren’t making decisions based on what they think is in your best interest — and not what you think is? History shows us, unfortunately, that the more bloated a government gets, the more this happens. I don’t know about you, but I make it a point to make critical decisions for myself and my family, and you should too. You should get a Jase case.

And yet, our bodies don’t really give us much of a choice. The biggest cause of our pain is inflammation in our joints; I know, because I used to get it so badly in my hands, I couldn’t even always button my shirt in the morning — let alone do so many of the things I love to do, like painting or writing letters by hand. Thank God, I found out about Relief Factor and eventually gave it a try. I got my life back, and you could get your life back too.
