The radical left-wing takeover of our judiciary has reached a terrifying new low.<\/p>\n
In a shocking and utterly unhinged ruling issued on Wednesday, the Hawaii Supreme Court has launched a direct, disgraceful assault on the United States Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
In the case of Granillo v. State of Hawaii<\/i>, authored by activist Associate Justice Todd Eddins, the rogue state court went completely off the rails.<\/span><\/p>\n In May 1989, Daniel R. Granillo was accused of abducting Laura Price (a pseudonym) from a Maui shopping center parking lot after her boyfriend abandoned her. Price testified that Granillo grabbed her, held a knife to her neck, drove her to the Kahului breakwater, and sexually assaulted her, forcing oral sex and digital penetration. She escaped by jumping from the moving car, flagged down help, and was found hysterical, dirty, with messy hair and later bruises on her face, thigh, and arm.<\/p>\n Granillo was convicted in July 1990 on kidnapping,<\/a> two counts of first-degree sexual assault, and attempted first-degree sexual assault. He received 40 years. The prosecution\u2019s case rested heavily on Price\u2019s testimony, but they bolstered it with \u201cuncontroverted physical evidence\u201d from FBI hair and fiber expert Wayne Oakes.<\/p>\n Oakes testified that a hair found in Granillo\u2019s car was \u201cconsistent with\u201d coming from Price and had been forcibly removed. Fibers from Price\u2019s underwear and pants were \u201cconsistent with\u201d Granillo\u2019s car seat cover and floor carpet. The prosecution hammered this in closing: physical evidence proved Price was in the car with her pants on, then off, while Granillo assaulted her. The jury convicted.<\/p>\n For decades, this was standard, accepted forensic science. Courts across America, including Hawaii\u2019s own precedent in State v. Fukusaku<\/em> (1997), treated microscopic hair and fiber comparison as reliable.<\/p>\n In 2017, the DOJ notified Hawaii prosecutors that the FBI had reviewed old cases and found Oakes\u2019 testimony overstated the science. The 2009 National Research Council report and 2016 PCAST report had concluded that microscopic hair and fiber analysis can only provide class-level associations \u2014 not individual identification. No more \u201cconsistent with originating from\u201d a specific person to the exclusion of others.<\/p>\n Granillo filed a post-conviction petition.<\/a> The Hawaii Supreme Court didn\u2019t just apply normal standards. It created\/expanded a broad \u201cfalse evidence\u201d rule under the state constitution\u2019s due process clause, held that prosecutorial knowledge of the falsity isn\u2019t required, found a \u201creasonable possibility\u201d the testimony contributed to conviction, and ordered a new trial.<\/p>\n The left-wing majority used their official state opinion to paint the conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court as literal enemies of constitutional rights and presumptive racists.<\/span><\/p>\n This is a complete breakdown of the rule of law.<\/p>\n In the blistering 91-page opinion,<\/a> Justice Eddins and his woke cohorts declared that Hawaii interprets its constitution \u201cindependently, untethered from the Supreme Court\u2019s analysis of the United States Constitution.\u201d\u00a0They chose to treat the landmark rulings of the highest court in the land as nothing more than \u201cwhite noise.\u201d<\/p>\n Below are some of the opinions and politically charged attacks on the United States Supreme Court:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s imperious ideology does not stop at due process. The same jurisprudence has cratered democracy itself.<\/p>\n Start with the Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n The Roberts Court did what Congress never would. It rewrote the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a cornerstone of American civil rights, democratically enacted and repeatedly reauthorized. Shelby County v. Holder<\/em>, began the judicial demolition, inventing a textually unsupported equal-sovereignty fiction and striking down preclearance on a hunch that the law worked too well. Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee<\/em>,fabricated \u2018guideposts\u2019 nowhere in Section 2 to greenlight racial discrimination in voting. Louisiana v. Callais<\/em>, buried what remained of the crown jewel of the civil rights movement. Pretend law for a real statute.<\/p>\n The Court then ditched its own thirty-two day default for releasing decisions and hustled out its judgment mid-primary, a favor granted over objection only twice in twenty-five years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Roberts Court sees only white. It refuses to acknowledge who the Equal Protection Clause was written to protect. The freed people, their descendants, and all others denied equal citizenship. U.S. Const. amend. XIV, \u00a7 1.<\/p>\n It turns its back on what is in plain sight. The Fourteenth Amendment is not colorblind. It never was.<\/p>\n The Court calls the Constitution colorblind while engineering the dilution of Black votes, the unraveling of hard-fought civil rights remedies, and the erasure of Black history.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat is not blindness. That is white sight, by design.<\/p>\n A Constitution interpreted this way is not colorblind. It is whatever the Court needs it to be. A way to advance its partisan project.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLast month, Nat\u2019l Republican Senatorial Comm. v. Fed. Election Comm\u2019n<\/em>, 609 U.S. ___ (June 30, 2026), made Citizens United<\/em> look quaint, shredding coordinated spending limits Congress had enacted, and ensuring that those who bankroll elections drown out the ordinary person. Billionaires spend to be repaid. Everyone else just votes. The Roberts Court has made sure one\u2019s wealth counts more than another\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n Rulings run in one direction, time after time. Weakening protections for those with less power. Fortifying those with more. The pattern speaks for itself. A court that systematically dismantles democratic safeguards, steamrolls constitutional liberties, and tramples human dignity does not chart the course for the Hawai\u02bbi Constitution.<\/p>\n \u2026<\/p>\n A Supreme Court driven by agenda and intent on swiping power that belongs to the people is exactly what that check was built for.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen six justices walk away from those they are supposed to protect, state constitutions hold the line. That is not defiance. That is the design.<\/p>\n State constitutionalism makes it easy to consider Roberts Court jurisprudence \u2018white noise.\u2019<\/p>\n Add it all up. Draining due process. Rolling back voting rights. Flooding elections with money. Rubber-stamping gerrymandering. Crowning a president. Blessing discrimination in the name of the Constitution.<\/p>\n Looking at naked racism and seeing none of it. Mullin v. Doe<\/em>, (racist words not \u2018overtly racial\u2019).<\/p>\n Making the country more dangerous with a Second Amendment unmoored from text or history and unrecognizable to the framers who wrote it. New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass\u2019n, Inc. v. Bruen<\/em>; Wilson<\/em>, 154 Hawai\u02bbi at 22, (\u2018disabl[ing] the states\u2019 responsibility to protect public safety, reduce gun violence, and safeguard peaceful public movement\u2019 with its deadly jurisprudence).<\/p>\n Then striking down a careful law and showing disdain for Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s constitutional traditions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n ALOHA means hello, goodbye and evidently judicial insurrection.<\/p>\n The Hawaii Supreme Ct just published a political manifesto masquerading as a judicial opinion. It calls SCOTUS racist, treats its rulings as \u201cwhite noise\u201d and declares itself beyond federal instruction. https:\/\/t.co\/lw3wpXjLfI<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Eric Schmitt (@Eric_Schmitt) July 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post UNHINGED: Far-Left Hawaii Supreme Court Issues Disgraceful Attack On SCOTUS \u2013 Calls Roberts Court Racist, Treats Landmark Rulings as \u201cWhite Noise,\u201d Declares Itself Beyond Federal Instruction<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The radical left-wing takeover of our judiciary has reached a terrifying new low.
