The Supreme Court ended its season by exploding punitive liberalism.
The phrase “punitive liberalism” was coined by James Piereson in his remarkable 2007 book, Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism. Simply put, punitive liberalism means liberalism that exists to punish the United States for all the world’s problems. From foreign policy to racism to personal psychological ills, America is the world’s great Satan.
In its recent landmark rulings, the Supreme Court has blown the doors off punitive liberalism. It has ruled that:
- Racism is bad no matter who does it.
- You can’t punish someone for being a Christian and speaking freely. And, in shooting down President Biden’s loan-forgiveness scam,
- That other people won’t pay your debts.
With the Dobbs decision last year, it ruled that it’s bad to kill innocent babies.
