Law Of the Land"

DEPRlNTED on this page is an editorial
- from the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post If it had appeared in
Southern newspaper or magazine, it would
not be news. In the Saturday Evening Post
AS an editorial it is news.
1t appears TO us that the Saturday Eve
ming Post, has come to understand the dan
gers to the Constitution and the Republic
which have been pointed out for several
years by Southern newspapers and North
ern conservatives. When the Flaw of the
land is proclaimed. or decreed by a judi
clal body the time has come to stop and
think. When the Constitution of the United
States is amended by judicial fiat, those
familiar with the intent and purport Of the
Nations founding must resist When the
court usurps the rights of the people as has
been the case in six decisions of recent
years, the most outstanding being the emo
tlonally packed school desegregation one
on May II, 1854. the time has come to act.
When the rights of the AZ states are placed
IN jeopardy by decisions of the Supreme
Court, statesmen should raise some ques-
tons. When the Court proclaims the law
OF the land, circumventing the authority
of the law-making body. then Congress
should act, and react.
It is particularly reassurng to have the
Saturday Evening Post state clearly a con
