KOOLIDGE. KOURTs AND KINGS

-F President Coolidge actually believes all he his
Baltimore speech he has, put it in the mides manner
woefuy perverted notion of what in the minds of the
founders of republic when they adopted the American
Constitution.
The base of his argument that the founders
fed England to escape the tyranny of king and fought the
Revolutionary War escape the mpOsons Of depoc par
lament
From this he argues that the founders Sin that their
President and Congress might surpass the bounds
authority granted them by the Constitution which the
people had made and infringe upon the liberties Of the peo
pie they established third independent department of the
government power interpret and declare the Con
stution and law, inferior and the Supreme
Court of the United No President however powerful
majority of the Congress- however large can take from
any individual how humble that freedom and those
rights which guaranteed by the Constitution The Supreme
Court has final authority determine all questions arising
under the Constitution and laws of the United States"
By looking the Constitution again. President Coolidge
will find that the Constitution the inferior Fed
created only the Supreme Court. All Federal
courts below that created by Congress
However says the Supreme Court created with the
sole purpose protecting the freedom of the individual or
guarding earnings his home, his life. And, finally
says that deliberate and determined effort
being made guarantees of fundamental
law It has for its purpose the conscaon of property and
the destruction of liberty At the present time the chief obsta
Gle this effort is the Supreme Court of the United States
question whether America will allow itself to be
degraded into communsc and socasc whether
it will remain American Those who continue to enjoy
high of American citizenship will resist all attempts
upon their liberties by encrochg upon the power
of the courts
Whether President Coolidge knows it not the
American citizen that all of the criticisms of the Supreme
Court and the inferior Federal founded upon belief
that these courts have been uSupng not granted to
them by the Constitution; that the Supreme Court has gone
beyond its constitutional right maintain and interpret
the Constitution by actually egsatng when has written
the laws meaning entirely different from the plain intent
of Congress and the executive.
These criticisms attack the Constitutions
they defense of against arbitrary usurpaon power
by the judicial branch of the government.
The Constitution guarantees the American citizen trial
by jury of his peers Federal of this right by
enoning him from doing certain things and then Furnishing
him for contempt of he dsobeys the injunction
The Constitution guarantees the rights of the people
free speech free press and peaceabe assemble The Federal
courts have deprived the people of these rights by Injunction
and have punished the people for contempt
ing these constitutional rights.
The Constitution guarantees that citizen shall be
prved of e liberty property without due process of law
The Federal courts around this by injunction
route.
President Cooldge's argument is that of hde-bound
champion of of the by the powerful few
is defense of the Constitutions it defense arbitrary
usupaton of power by the judicial branch the
in the interest of this powerful few The courageous
denounced by the reactQnary Coolidge socastc
