ROGER RATLIFF
Roger Ratliff Tells
Kiwanians History Of
The Supreme Court
By Lois Grote
The U.S. Supreme Court is a
most unique institution, Roger
Ratliff told the Silsbee Kiwanis
Club Wednesday. The contro
versy over the Judge Bork
nomination has really put the
spotlight on the important
place the court has in our
governmental system. Ratliff is
a local attorney and a graduate
of Silsbee High School and the
University of Texas Law
School.
The U.S. Supreme Court has
no parallel in the history of
world governments. Ratliff
noted that exactly 200 years
ago our Constitution was adopt
ed and the capttol was moved to
Washington. D.C. There was
not even a courtroom planned
for the court. As an after
thought it ended up in an
anteroom of the Capitol Build-
ing, he said.
The Constitution said little
about the Supreme Court.
Even John Jay, one of our
nation's founders, refused the
job of Chief Justice, saying that
it would never amount to
anything.
The Constitution merely said
that the Supreme Court and
any such inferior courts as
Congress may establish shall
have judicial' power The jus
tires were to be appointed by
the President with consent of
the Senate. The judges do not
•ven have to be lawyers, ac
cording to Ratliff.
In the beginning the duties
and importance of the court
were ill defined and this branch
of our government was re
lativelv unimportant. The Pre
aident's appointments were
routinely approved by the Sen
ate. Since then the court has
become a major factor in the
evolution and conduct of our
government.
Today, the Supreme Court
weilds enormous influence in
either upholding or orerruling
the acts of Congress, approves
or disapproves the actions of
the President and the various
divisions of government, and
ultimately rules on the legality
of citizens, and their rights
under the laws, Ratliff said.
Over the years its decisions
have become so powerful that
they have changed the nature,
course, and direction of Amen
can society. Critics say that the
court has gone so far as to
effectively write new laws
through their decisions. Pos
sibly they have done so because
Congress has often refused to
face up to the issues and wnte
the laws themselves, according
to Ratliff
Accordingly. since the
court's decisions have become
political instead of merely ju-
dicial, politicians and the public
have become concerned with
the political philosophies of new
nominees to the court. Thus,
though few people question
Judge Bork’s judicial qualifi
cations, his confirmation by the
Senate will be purely decided
upon his political philosophy,
according to Ratliff.
Ratliff, in closing his talk to
Kiwanis. noted that despite the
-enormous influence the Su
preme Court has upon the lives
and activities of citizens, it has
no officers, no police and no
army to enforce its rulings. It is
an American tradition that we
obey the dec tains of the Su
preme Court of the United
States without question.
Ratliff was program chair-
man and presented the pro
gram. Dean Robinson is pro
gram chairman on October 7
and John Robinson on October
14.
