Scalia Dissent: I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy

Supreme Court.gov ^ | 26 Jun 15 | Antonin Scalia

[Truth29]

I couldn’t stomach listening to his eulogy today, but I bet he gets in some comments about “our culture of hate” and gun violence and pushes for more restrictions.

[Toespi]

Oh yeah, I forgot......the takeover of the Supreme Court, as well as all sectors of the federal government.

This was a cover vote for Roberts.

This is Roberts bending himself into a pretzel that should have snapped his spine.

I laughed out loud at the first line of his dissent. He wrote, “We are a nation of laws...”. Not after your ruling yesterday Mr. Chief Justice.

[rikkir]

Gun control is coming. Not sure in what form, but Obozo is not going to let this last shooting go to waste.

After the Obamacare ruling, all he has to do is have a Rose Garden press conference, and declare all small arms illegal in his US. Order the police to begin confiscation, knowing they can not do the job, and forcing Governors to call in NG troops for assistance.

[Bulwyf]

It’s been a lot longer than that. Maybe you had a break or two, but it’s been far longer.

[Bulwyf]

By the looks of it, both want to be men.

[BlackElk]

Taking a hard and necessarily brief look at that picture, it becomes obvious. No man is sooooo hard up as to marry either of them. What do they see in each other? A last resort!

[Bulwyf]

I would be interested to see where you’re finding that in scripture, that’s some pretty specific predictions.

[matginzac]

And I would add “just about almost...
Meaning, this country may not be able to sustain one more assault on the founding principles without resulting in total collapse.
I know that may seem hysterical but at this point, we have NO control over taxation, law, religion, education, property, privacy - anything that constitutes a “free” life...this is what tyranny looks like.

[VerySadAmerican]

The least legitimate of the three branches of government is going to be the one to bring down the country. What have we done?!

It’s scary to think Charles Manson more or less said the same thing.

[manc]

libertarians have all supported what the communist, and socialist wanted. They instead infiltrated the ranks of the GOP as the communists infiltrated the ranks of the Dem party.

They both worked hand in hand, and yet many cowardly republicans won’t say a damn thing or stop them.

[demshateGod]

Yes. Because it would be a waste of time. The oligarchy is in control and they’ll have none of it.

[reed13k]

He should stay and still write the book - document and publish -

make em prove he’s being libelous - though I think they’ll just shrug and say he can say what he wants because they know they can’t prove him wrong.

[bjorn14]

The problem with that is you would never get the state legislatures to adopt it. In all states, except 2 SSM was done by legislative fiat. You would need 37 States to pass it. So a CA IMHO is DOA.

[bjorn14]

Well, it really ended in 1963 but we didn’t know it..

[1010RD]

Think how hard it is for 300 million Americans to alter the Constitution and just how easy it is for 5 judicial tyrants to do so. Something’s not right.

[L,TOWM]

Interesting observation, but I am not completely sold on the last 7 years. The soft tyranny has been increasing for most of my adult life, with a brief interruption in the early 1980’s.

A lot of the people I know (not necessarily friends) are applauding what has been going on. An interesting question to think about, though — does they principle of compound interest apply to politics or governance?

Have we been seeing the “hockey stick” from the initial deposit made in 1913 (or 1868 for that matter) emerge in our system over the last few years? And, are past the point of no return?

[L,TOWM]

I am really hoping that an amicable divorce can happen while I am still living.

[BlackElk]

I would not be surprised if you and Scripture are right on this. However, as to the means of God’s vengeance, didn’t He promise, after the Great Flood, the fire not the flood next time? Also, even California has some good and decent people such as JimRob. Will they be raptured to separate them from the neighboring weeds?
