John Parillo: Federalist 79; More on the Judiciary
After Hamilton’s introduction to the Judiciary in Federalist 78, he digs a bit deeper into the subject here.
Constitution
Federalist 78; On the Judiciary
The nomination by the President, and the advice and consent role of the Senate, are designed to ensure that only the most qualified people even receive a nomination, let alone be confirmed as Justices.
Blueprint for Restoring America
We can expect martial law, protests, demonstrations, panics (COVID, Global Warming), false flag operations, and Fake News (propaganda) to be possible threats to American democracy. The UN (plus WHO, NWO, WEF, Democrats, American Marxists, China, etc.) is a tool to impose tyranny and the dismantling of America.
Facts and truth have a conservative bias
My good friend Jeffery¹, whether under that name, or his subsequently adopted screen names of Jethro Bodine or, currently, Elwood P Dowd, on William Teach’s fine site, The Pirate’s Cove, once made a claim, “The truth has a liberal bias,” sometimes expressed as “The facts have a liberal bias,” something I have seen elsewhere. It …
The Death of the Republic
A constitutional republic depends not only on honest elections, but on public confidence that elections are honest. When that trust disappears, every law, every court decision, and every elected official begins to lose legitimacy. The greatest threat to America’s future may not be violence or foreign enemies, but the slow erosion of faith in the electoral process itself. Without legal, transparent, and trustworthy elections, there can be no democracy—and no republic worth preserving.
Federalist 76: Ambassadors, Justices and Ministers
The Framers decided the best way to choose Ambassadors, Justices and Ministers was for a single person to nominate and a larger group to approve.
Federalist 75: On the Power to Make Treaties
Federalist 75 deals with the President and his power to make treaties with other nations, subject to approval of two thirds of the Senate.
SCOTUS’ Thomas Again the Lone Voice of Reason in a Government Overreach Case
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been seated a long time. Since 1991 – thirty-five years and counting. That entire time? He has been almost inarguably its most stringently Constitutional and conservative member.
I remember a lawyer friend about two decades ago comparing-and-contrasting Thomas and then-Court-mate and conservative icon – the late Antonin Scalia.
My friend pointed out that when Thomas and Scalia disagreed on a case? Thomas was correct – and Scalia incorrect.
SCOTUS/POTUS
The Dems have indicated they wish to increase the number of SCOTUS justices if they win mid-term congressional majority. The Constitution does not specify the number of justices, nor does it explicitly forbid or permit additional or fewer Justices (historically there have been 6,7,9 even 10).
Federalist 74: The President and the Power to Pardon
With the exception of impeachment, the Power to Pardon is absolute. Nixon’s resignation is what enabled Ford to pardon him.
Federalist 73; On Presidential Salary and the Veto
Hamilton continues his series on the nature of the Presidency by discussing both the Presidential salary and the veto power assigned to that office.
Federalist 72; Opposing Term Limits in the Presidency
Presidential Term Limits are a two-sided issue balancing necessary powers of the presidency, with checks and balances that prevent a return to monarchy.
Federalist 71; On the Duration of the Presidency
Hamilton continues in Federalist 71 to explore the nature of the presidency, specifically limits on how long presidents may serve.
Federalist 70: Hamilton On An Energetic Presidency
Hamilton: “Energy in the Executive is a leading character in the definition of good government.” However, there is a downside to an energetic presidency.
Federalist 69; Our President is Not a King
Hamilton as Publius, discusses the differences between the nature of our President, European Kings, and even the Governor of New York.
Federalist 68: Selecting the President
Federalist 68 describes the Founders’ concerns over choosing our Presidents and the dangers of doing so by “popular vote.”
America and the Awakening of the Western Hemisphere
The Left is in turmoil, with support rapidly declining as its ranks disintegrate. Two paths lie before us. The path forward with President Donald Trump promising to make the United States and the Western Hemisphere free of evil and prosperous for all.
Federalist 67; The Presidency
Hamilton turns here, and for the next eleven Federalist Papers, to the subject of the Presidency, an important topic, today more than ever.

John Parillo Expounds Upon Federalist 63
It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood;
