The amount of power that the Supreme Court was wielded during the Obama years has been disconcerting to say the least.
Not many presidential candidates are focusing on the fact that the Supreme Court has taken a noticeable turn to the left and is slowly being filled with judges that hold some very radical views along with a general disdain for the rule of law.
Senator Ted Cruz is well aware of this shift and has been hammering the message home on the campaign trail.
From The Hill:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says the U.S. of today will become unrecognizable if “one more liberal justice” is appointed to the Supreme Court.“One more liberal justice and our right to keep and bear arms is taken away from us by an activist court,” Cruz said at a campaign rally in Iowa on Friday, according to the Des Moines Register.“One more liberal justice and they begin sandblasting and bulldozing veterans memorials throughout this country,” he added.“One more liberal justice and we lose our sovereignty to the United Nations and the World Court.”Cruz was critical of the high court after its decisions to uphold Obamacare and legalize gay marriage last term.He said the Supreme Court should face elections in order to hold the nine-justice tribunal accountable.
Cruz nails it again.
The president, along with Hillary Clinton, has already admitted that gun confiscation would be a good thing.
Who knows what would happen if he knew he had the unquestioned support of the court.
The controversial Supreme Court decisions that have been passed down recently have all been extremely close and have hinged on two of the perceived “moderate” justices, Kennedy and Roberts.
The left is very close to assuming full control over the bench and both Kennedy and Roberts are by no means reliable conservatives.
While Supreme Court elections might not be an attainable goal, it would be nice to have someone in the White House who understands how the balance of power is supposed to work in this country.
Keep fighting the good fight Ted.
This is an actual occurance. Before I figured out it was a total/colossal waste of time, I used to send emails to McConnell telling him pithily just how fed up I was with his GOPe ways.
In addition to ignoring my continuous stream of complaints, McConnell would constantly add me—against my wishes—to his blitheringly stupid mailing list. I spent WAY too much time removing my email addy from that vile list.
It all ended one day when McConnell went to far. He sent me a hysterical mailing entitled, ‘THEY’RE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!!’
That was it. I got my name removed from his rancid list and I have never contacted him since.
Here’s why. I want the border secured, Americans to be treated better than foreign invaders (i.e.: the opposite of what we have now), mass deportations and our national sovereignty restored.
Right now, as I type, liberals are planning to do the ultimate k i l l off of gun rights as soon as they have a sufficient number of foreign invaders registered to vote. That is their STATED plan.
What is McConnell doing about it?
Working hand in glove with the Dems to give the country on a silver platter to the foreign invaders.
Unless and until we staunch the unchecked flood of foreign invaders/lifetime Dem voters, nothing else matters. We can only hope to win a few skirmishes before ultimately and forever losing the war. And that is a fact.
What do you think? Are we going to be stuck with Beshear Act 2 or does Bevin have a chance. I’m not optimistic.
One justice, or one blackmail, or one brainwashing.
One liberal justice and a continental scale urban civil war.
With some military and law enforcement breaking from Versailles on the Potomac.
This could make the French Revolution look like a meet and greet.
I’m in GA so I have no inside info on that race. It’s close and Republicans often do better than polls suggest. A lot, though, depends on the level of voter fraud. Maybe McConnell is finally so unpopular that people vote for Bevin as a proxy protest?
[The reason I pestered McConnell is that as Majority Leader he grates my nerves off the charts. If I lived in Kentucky...I’d likely move. ;) ]
I think that is pretty much a given.
It is almost ironic, but the colonists in the 1770s had far fewer grievances against their government than what American citizens have today. We live under far greater tyranny today than the colonials did “back in the day.”
I could not disagree more. Because a nationalist loves his government, but a patriot loves his country. In your comment, if you change "nationalist" to "patriot," then I am with you 100%.
Vote fraud here is not a serious problem as far as I know. Conway is a little ahead in most polls. He has run a very dirty campaign. Nasty. Bevin has done a poor job of repudiating the completely fabricated slander. He’s a good guy, would make a good governor. But a poor campaigner.
I’ve lived in GA, I like it better here. Sadly, there is nowhere to get truly free from the disease of liberalism.
Hear, hear.
Has Cruz not seen the way the so called conservative judges have voted the past 8 years?
He should say one justice away from civil war and genocide on democrats.
Roberts. His transformation is still in progress. He will kill the whole culture and the nation before he lets whatever damning info the NSA has get leaked.
‘Conway is a little ahead in most polls. He has run a very dirty campaign. Nasty. Bevin has done a poor job of repudiating the completely fabricated slander. He’s a good guy, would make a good governor. But a poor campaigner.’
Sounds like he needs a good shot of Trump!
‘I’ve lived in GA, I like it better here. Sadly, there is nowhere to get truly free from the disease of liberalism.’
Parts of GA are truly beautiful, scenery-wise, but parts are pretty plain. From what I have seen, Kentucky is very beautiful. Plus I am crazy, mad, smitten, bedazzled by thoroughbreds, so I’d have something to love despite McConnell’s creep-show sinecure.
I DID NOT need that scary thought in my head today.
Sorry, but I think that is Obama’s major post-Presidential ambition (to be on the Supreme Court).
Problem is he can’t keep his trap shut.
Ted Cruz: Democratic SCOTUS Picks Usually Vote Like ‘Radical Leftist Nutcase’
He also criticized some Republican appointed Justices as “screaming train wreck disasters.”
“You know, Democrats are batting almost 1.000 when it comes to Supreme Court nominees,” Cruz stated to the Heritage Action presidential forum’s audience in South Carolina. “Every Supreme Court nominee they put forward votes like a radical leftist nutcase.”
“Republicans, we bat about .500,” Cruz added. “About half of Republican Supreme Court justices actually honor their oath to defend the Constitution. The other half are screaming trainwreck disasters. Earl Warren was a Republican nominee. Bill Brennan was a Republican nominee. John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Harry Blackmun, who authored Roe vs. Wade was a Republican nominee.”
Kentucky is very beautiful. Also, in central Kentucky the four seasons are really nice, IMO. Something I missed living in GA & FL.
