SUPREME ISOLATION. While Justice Thomas explores historical documentation from centuries ago to support his originalist constitutional decisions, neither he nor Breyer seem inclined to do the same when dealing with contemporary issues. For Breyer, the court steers clear of news and politics which for Thomas are just "noise", even though the latter has Tea Party connections. Amicus briefs supporting one side or the other are taken into consideration. They can cost anywhere from 25,000 to 100,000 dollars in legal fees, with an additional cost of a couple of thousand to print. So, unless you pay and earn much more than 25,000 a year, or an organization can provide you with lawyers to try to protect constitutional rights now trapped into considerations of how a generic drug can kill you by not describing its counter indications, since the latter would give it the same constitutional rights and standing in society of a brand name pharmaceutical, the Supreme Court can impose its intergalactically nebulous decisions without ever taking our welfare into consideration by taking a stroll among the people of this country, even just to sightsee.
