Stumping for president in northwest Iowa, Sen. Ted Cruz described the ruling as “the very definition of lawlessness” — the same epithet he applied a day earlier when the court affirmed Obamacare subsidies nationwide, even in states that, like Texas, refused to create their own insurance marketplace as contemplated in the text of the law.

“Today is some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation’s history,” Cruz told Fox radio host Sean Hannity. Both rulings, he said, were instances of “naked and shameless acts of judicial activism.”

To curb judicial excess, Cruz proposed a constitutional amendment requiring justices to face retention elections every eight years after their appointment to the high court. He made the proposal in an essay published online this afternoon on the National Review....

Seems that Justice Scalia agrees with Ted on this one.

I’m not sure if the idea would end up working in our favor though. We’d essentially be democratizing government even more, and every time we have done that, it’s pushed government further to the left.

It’s time to force Black churches and ministers to put their money where their mouths have been for sixty years and perform “gay marriages.” If they don’t, sic the law on them. Sue them. Disgrace them as hateful homophobic bigots. The liberals and the ACLU will probably defend them where they would not defend any of us, but they’d know what it’s like to be forced to violate their own consciences, and they might have to wake up and realize that this isn’t 1954 any more and that there are other issues out there besides race and poverty.

The Nazis crowed when they defeated France and pinned the British against the sea at Dunkirk. How did that work out for them?

The socialist fascists escaped all punishment, and became a deeply regarded, part of the US Government. Our Country- the United States of America- has never recovered.

Country is already screwed up enough by the 17th Amendment. Last thing we need is to add the judicial branch into the populist swamp. Cruz’s idea is pandering.

And Jesus Christ said, that he beheld Lucifer, Satan, falling from heaven like lightning.

I guess that is what Obama is referring to.

Can anyone find some artwork or graphics of Satan falling from heaven like a bolt of lightning with Obama’s words under it ?

It’s fitting and appropriate for this moment in history.
