Ping!
Who would’ve guessed a hand basket has turbo.
I disagree ...
The Republic died on January 22, 1973.
That was but the first stab. The wound was bad, but not deadly. Not until now.

I'm confused.
“It was just a matter of time.”
“Now, since the family and human society at large spring from marriage, these men will on no account allow matrimony to be the subject of the jurisdiction of the Church. Nay, they endeavor to deprive it of all holiness, and so bring it within the contracted sphere of those rights which, having been instituted by man, are ruled and administered by the civil jurisprudence of the community. Wherefore it necessarily follows that they attribute all power over marriage to civil rulers, and allow none whatever to the Church; and, when the Church exercises any such power, they think that she acts either by favor of the civil authority or to its injury. Now is the time, they say, for the heads of the State to vindicate their rights unflinchingly, and to do their best to settle all that relates to marriage according as to them seems good.”
—Pope Leo XIII, 1880

This is why there should be a mechanism for majority of the states to override a supreme court decisions....
From an economic standpoint, the republic was killed on August 15, 1971. However, I agree from a moral standpoint, that January 22, 1973 was the defining date.
Reagan’s two terms just slowed down the inevitable.
That’s ridiculous....They have the right already in their state.
The Supreme Court is just another branch of corrupt government, big government, unlimited government. The justices are nothing but bums like congresscritters.
The Republic died on November 4, 2008. There were speed bumps prior to that, but this date saw Uncle Sam driving straight into a brick wall at high speed.
Its been dead for a while. The system is rigged. I reject.it and will work to see its destruction.
The 17th Amendment enabled 80 years of judicial assaults.
Levin has teamed up with Randy Barnett and others to relight the Article V movement. His show tonight should be a blast.
Someone has a lot of dirt on Roberts.
Yes, there exists several mechanisms but the only one available now is Article V of the US Constitution.
Uh, no idea what you mean...:-)
1 Jn 2:17: And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
That’s called “nullification.” Believe me, nullification has a bad track record in our country’s history.
True that.
