About this listen
This article questions whether the U.S. Supreme Court truly serves justice, using its unanimous ruling against the Old Order Amish—forcing them to pay Social Security taxes despite religious objections—as a focal point. The author compares the Court’s logic to that of the Soviet Union, arguing that if Social Security were truly a “common good,” people wouldn’t need to be coerced into it. Highlighting the Amish as law-abiding, self-reliant citizens, the piece condemns the government’s persecution of moral individuals while showing leniency toward criminals. It warns that such judicial overreach reflects a dangerous shift toward statism, where courts prioritize control over conscience.
