Conservatives are focusing on the nomination of Merrick B. Garland as a fight for Second Amendment rights, but it is much more than that. Seating Garland (or any other liberal) on the bench will be a great triumph for the liberal faction. That one liberal justice will be the last vampire needed to suck the blood out of our constitutional government.
To understand my claim, we must first define the liberal process: it is the subjective interpretation and enforcement of law—instead of honoring law as it is written. To a liberal, the actual intent of written law matters only when it suits their faction’s intent. This is why the Second Amendment’s order of “shall not be infringed” is mostly ignored, resulting in the outright bans of guns by some governments and incredible restrictions and paperwork burdens on others who wish to enjoy their Second Amendment right. Moreover, this is why the First Amendment’s order of the “free exercise” of religion doesn’t matter to their subjective mindset. The liberal faction has replaced that clause with words from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson: the “separation of church and state.” Never mind that Jefferson wasn’t a writer of our Constitution. Never mind that a personal letter is trumping the Constitution’s ratified order. Never mind the Constitution at all.
Do you get the idea?
The liberals have a process. They introduce their mutations and their pals in the media and the education business follow their lead, without caring one bit about its effects on our nation. All they care about is their party’s power. Their process indoctrinates the standard TV watcher and the young people, especially the students as they approach voting age, who are conditioned to believe that our Constitution is outdated and racist. Add to that the liberals continued attacks on the founders, such as the canard that Jefferson had sex with his slaves, and you have the formula for twisting the minds of well-intentioned voters into their being devoted followers of the party that has subjected our nation to the greatest debt in history, a horrible event.
From the powers gathered in Congress by this process, the liberals have used the nominations of judges to promote the seating their agents in courts whenever possible, while blocking proper constitutionists at every opportunity. The count is now 4-4. Add that last vampire and our Constitution will only mean what the liberal faction says it means.
Once that fifth vampire is seated, litigation will determine the law more than the law itself. Think of the shift in power; it will give the trial lawyers and their favored politicians the ability to define what “is” is, the powers to explain which laws make no difference, and will establish a direct connection in campaign finances between the liberal politicians and any enemy of our republic, foreign or domestic . If you believe that things are bad now, consider how bad they can get with the the last vampire in SCOTUS.
The bottom line is that the debate on this empty seat on SCOTUS is a fight for our entire constitutional republic. Fight like it’s worth it.
states will need to start ignoring the SC. possibly the congress and president, the way things are going.
if it brings a revolution, so be it.

Agree. This will get physical.
So be it.
It is essential to redefine the debate in terms of the powers of the judicial branch, real and usurped. The courts have substituted the judicial process for the legislative process, the process of constitutional amendment, the state processes for initiative and referendum.
The judicial process systematically excludes ordinary citizens from participation (except for jury duty). Input is restricted to amicus briefs, that is, input is ' restricted to organizations that can afford to hire lawyers to write a brief arguing their point of view. If you wrote a letter to a Supreme Court justice advocating something regarding a case, what would happen to the letter?
The people have no say in the appointment of judges, except indirectly, once per judge, in the confirmation process.
Good points. Add to that the mal-education of the liberal class and their ridicule of the opposition and you have a dangerous formula that has started wars.
And even then, it's only the liberal members of the public with significant input, because the spineless RINO's always cave for any liberal nominees.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I have stopped using the term RINO, because, judging from the cowardice shown during nomination hearings, the entire Republican party is giving the Democrats what they want after their pillow fight.
Republicans no longer believe in the Constitution. We must fight them as well.
Or we could call an Article V Convention and pass a State Repeal Amendment.
It's a damned shame that we have to view the court through this cynical lens but that is reality. And as long as we're viewing reality we need to remember that the current score is 4-2-2 leftists/constitutionalists/mugwumps. The left is entirely predictable - they vote and rationalize their decisions based on liberal ideology. The constitutionalists weigh their decisions against time-tested interpretations of the Constitution. The mugwumps like Kennedy and Roberts stick their finger into the air.
There already exists inequity and imbalance. Letting Ødungo stack the court would just be that final nail into our collective coffin.
Good Point.
I have been wondering if the lawyers have been taken out of the medical lawsuit business after the ACA took over. Anybody know?
Doubt it. It was written by their bitches. Plus, when’s the last time any major legislation, especially when written by Democrats, did anything good?
Of necessity to serve its goals, the Left denies the Law of Nature, the Law of Nature’s God, and the supreme law of the land - our Constitution.
When one is subject to no check, to no higher power, all manner of bad things are a certainty. Designing men come think of themselves as the ultimate lawgivers, as gods.
While such men eventually rationalize gulags and killing fields, they start off by imposing unlimited abortion and fag marriage on a helpless society.
Article V.
Yep. They like no power greater than themselves.
Well put!
