But he and his commie masters have been taking over the systems that give a society its stability. It’s close to a point now where they can do whatever they want because they have neutered the people’s ability to enforce our will through legal means.

They’ve reduced the checks and balances built into our government so we’re now in a pressure cooker. All the steam vents are gone, all the normal ways to petition the government for a redress of grievances are gone since we’ve all been told we have no standing; none of it is our business and we can’t do a thing.

And like Michael Savage was saying on Tuesday, the communist methodology is to slowly turn up the heat so we’re boiling mad but have nowhere to constructively place our energies to preserve the nation.

It’s the systems that have made this America rather than Mexico or Iran, and unless we reclaim the systems - media, law enforcement, the rule of law, the judiciary, education, science, the culture, the Judeo-Christian foundation of our Declaration of Independence, the military, the family - we can’t hold up as a country.

Yes, Obama is weak. But his masters own the world.

I been listening to that kind of stuff since I was a kid in the 60’s. Heck, I’m more scared of Wall Street than I am the commies taking us over.

Do Americans look like they’re cowed BY OBAMA?

parsy, the fearless

Can a class of people have standing where any one of them doesn’t individually?

For instance, “Jane Roe” had already had the baby by the time Roe v Wade was decided. But when SCOTUS took the case they took it for a class of people that didn’t even include Jane Roe by the time the case had gone that far. It was basically a class-action suit on behalf of anybody who WOULD have standing - and they justified it by saying that a person shouldn’t be denied rights simply because their “standing” would be gone by the time the judicial gears had gotten far enough to decide the case.

So they totally got around the issue of “standing” by saying they were deciding as a class action on behalf of theoretical people who WOULD be affected.

Can “we, the people” as a class have standing to demand our Constitution be followed, or bankruptcy laws, or Senate rules, or anything where the rule of law is being violated by the government?

I agree with what you say, except that the bad guys aren’t necessarily all in agreement. They don’t all like each other. Sooner or later they’ll start eating each other up.
