Turley, conclusion

Is reason itself cancelled?

     "One of the greatest triumphs for free speech came in the Supreme Court's 2023 decision that a Christian could refuse to provide service for a same-sex marriage. Justice Gorsuch wrote, 'the framers designed the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to protect the freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think.' The justices believe this is among our inalienable human rights.  

     "We are living in a time of rage. America was born in rage. It was rage that fueled the Boston Tea Party. The judiciary must stand in defense of our natural rights. Especially, it is during such times that we must stand as a people to prevent extremists of any ideological bent from politicizing or destroying our constitutional judicial system. Those establishment figures trying to cancel the Court today are delusional - not foreseeing that they will undermine their own freedom and security. 

     "The history of canceling courts is a history replete with unhappy endings. Courts are by necessity one of the first targets of revolutionaries. Following the Revolution that brought Bolsheviks to power in Russia, one of their first decrees was the 'Abolition of Existing Legal Institutions.' Soon after came the establishment of the infamous People's Courts. In revolution after revolution, newly established courts carried out the purported will of the people with terrible consequences. 

     "In an age of rage, it is too often reason itself that is canceled."
