...a three-member panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to "answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law."

No! Not federal judges, too!! Say it ain't so!

I do not think the supreme court has the 'right' to declare a federal law unconstitutional and to strike it down. I think the supreme court has the POWER to declare a federal law unconstitutional and to strike it down.

I was taught in variious Civics and History classes that governments have powers; that PEOPLE have rights.

So what’s the over / under on when the Generals step in? No really, I’m saying that with a straight face. We are heading into Banana Republic territory.

Most of our rights are being taken away by those we've given power.

Sad really.

Come on now where's your compassion for the 'learning impaired'.
That 'Courts/Rights' thing came from a C^BS Femi-Nazi 'journalist', Jan Crawford.

You know, 'Journalists' -- the people that Flunk Out of Teacher Colleges (Colleges of Education) then transfer to J-School to party, protest, and where any actual "learning" is optional. And as long as you have a left-wing agenda you Graduate with 'honors'. And the further to the left, the higher the 'honors'.

[When 'Reporters' became 'Journalists' the news industry died.]
