I contend that the courts have no power to force the acceptance of open homosexuals in our Armed Forces. The President is CIC and under Article I, Section 8, Congress has the power "To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces."
What say you?
In a letter, and certainly with no intent to educate the public at large, Jefferson deals with a problem that has nearly overwhelmed our late republic. Our federal courts have assumed legislative and executive powers and deigned themselves to be superior to the other branches.
Yes indeed. And the officers of the other branches allow it.
Again, the Republican Party and the legal profession are rotted clear through with judicial supremacists.
And because of it, the courts are deemed to be king, lawgiver, and judge.
This is the death of republican representative self-government.

Gov Christie to NJ Supreme Court Justice: You’re Fired!
Christie is taking an extremely unusual measure for this day and age. He’s firing one of New Jersey’s Supreme Court Justices and appointing one of his own, one that will closer follow a more conservative path.
Interesting reference & discussion re: Andrew Jackson and SCOTUS:
“... President Andrew Jackson. In 1832 the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in Worcester v. Georgia that Old Hickory wasn’t too happy with. In reply he is famous for the sentiment that the Court made its decision and proposed that “now let them enforce it.”*
[Quote: “the decision of the supreme court has fell still born, and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate.”]
