When Americans regain control of the government, and we will, the first thing we need to do is put these so called “judges” and “courts” back in their place. They have grown way too powerful. America was never intended to be like this.

The honest truth is that our current federal judges will soon find the right to a tax-funded abortion in the same place they found the right to marry a person of the same sex.

What a load of crap. The power of Congress to fund or not fund is supreme.

or perhaps to even permit it.
The Court has seen the way the Congresional wind is blowing and used the opportunity to ally with the Executive to strip the Legislative branch of its power while simultaneously losing its own power to the Executive.

The Government of the Unites States now consists in reality of an authoritarian President with a Judicial Branch to legitimize and enfocre his will and an advisory council composed of increasingly irrelevant Senators and Representatives.

Amen to that. The first five or ten judge impeachments by a new Congress intent on reasserting its own autonomous authority will send a powerful message to the rest of the judicial branch that the People are in charge.

The next step should be to send legislation to the president to invalidate the Supreme Court's recent homo "marriage" legislation and their rewriting of Obamacare legislation. The legislation should include a warning to the Court that any more straying from the text of the Constitution will will be met with impeachment proceedings of the offending members.

So the 18 trillion dollar debt is actually the fault of Congress.

Along with that and the Courts of Injustice, the next executive branch will only get so much done if the Constitution is followed or will they be able to use the Constitution to do what no one has done against the current administration?
