As Andrew Jackson said, “John Marshall has made his decision, no let him enforce it”
1. Obama will appoint the most radical he can find. (Rush Limbaugh--paraphrased)
2. The Republican led Congress MUST remain in pro forma session constantly from now until the inauguration of the next President to prevent a recess appointment to the Supreme Court by Obama. (Newt Gingrich--paraphrased)
Saving the Republic from destruction depends upon McConnell, Ryan, and the other Republicans in Congress. This is frightening, considering their past behavior. Whether or not they have the wisdom, fortitude, and moral strength to prevent an Obama appointment will determine whether or not the United States will survive.
The stakes are high.
Let us remember what Marbury held - that the provision of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that enabled Marbury to bring a claim directly to the Supreme Court was unconstitutional, since by legislative act the Congress attempted to extend the Court's original jurisdiction beyond that which Article III established.
Let us remember that Article III section 2 asserted that The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution.the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority...
Marbury held that Congress passed a law that exceeded its constitutional powers.
What an excellent article. Let the quixotic justices enforce their own decisions. They are not despots no matter how much of a temper tantrum they pitch. Thanks for posting.
It won’t matter who is nominated in the Republican Party to be president, as the marxists will use a marxist Supreme Court to challenge and negate everything conservatives attempt achieve.
Inalienable rights cannot be set aside if the People actually want to maintain them. Perhaps we shall soon see if there are many men among us.
