Neil Gorsuch slapped conservatives by creating new gay rights
New York Post ^ | June 15, 2020 | Josh Hammer

What we need is a more forceful conservative legal movement, just as willing as the left to make moral arguments in court, based on principles of justice, natural law (the rules embedded in our very nature as human beings), the common good and the religious and moral traditions underlying Anglo-American constitutional order.

Conservatives have been betrayed again and again by the promise of "strict-constructionist" judges who will not legislate from the bench or overturn previous precedent, and it's resulted in decades of losses at the high court. Conservatives need outspoken, activist judges from the right to offset the activists of the left - not a handful of Alitos who actually walk the strict constructionist talk and will be outnumbered by leftist judges and turncoats like Roberts and Gorsuch.

And John Roberts slapped us by allowing governors to shut down church services while Target and Walmart get a pass.

And I was worried that Kavanaugh would be the one who would stray. Didn’t expect this of Gorsuch.

I stopped calling myself a conservative years ago. The movement’s high water mark was in the 60s and 70s (Buckley and Goldwater)and ended when Bush #41 threw the Reagan legacy out the window. What passes for conservative today is 99.9% mush.

He’s a queer lover. At least that’s what his former queer clerk said.Gorsuch went to his “wedding” and sent a fabulous letter of congratulations to his favorite clerk and his new “husband.” Roberts has a lesbian sister and told her he would always make her proud.

What a weakling jerk. His vote contributed to America’s destruction, and was an assault on freedom of conscience.

He shouldn’t get all the credit - he may have penned the court’s decision, but Roberts the anti-Constitutionalist voted for that position.

And here is the sad situation: Even for those who are for these “rights” (that violate anyone who’s faith says homosexuality, gender fraud, etc. are sinful- and may very well run directly counter to their business model), The MEANS to get to this is blatantly unconstitutional itself. NOWHERE in the Constitutional duties for the SCOTUS (or any other judicial level) is there permission to rewrite legislation. They can strike down what they rule as unconstitutional. They can uphold what they see as following the Constitution. They can even issue an opinion that defines (or redefines) certain terms. But in this case - they just presumed the intent of the authors of the Civil Rights Act.

Well, that explains this one... I keep thinking of one name, one acronym, and one word when I try to make sense of totally unexpected decisions like this: Hillary’s FBI files. (remember those? I believe they have been put to good use.)

Convention of the states; all laws shall apply equally to the government and the people - in the event of any conflict, the people shall be granted the greater rights.

Legislation from the bench shall result in the legislature forfeiting 1/12th of their salary and benefits for each occurrence, even if this results in the legislator owing the treasury. The legislator shall not be permitted to participate in any vote aside from an impeachment of a judicial officer until full payment is made.

As long as the republicans in the senate continue to allow themselves to be brow beaten by liberals and the media during the confirmation process, this will not change. Also, I would strongly agree that we have to vet the personal views and conduct of judges much more carefully to discern whether they will actually stand up for conservative positions when the heat is on. The final observation is that the court should sit somewhere other than DC, which is a complete liberal bubble. Even those who begin with conservative principles are overcome by the surrounding liberal context in which they are forced to exist in order to serve on the court.

I am available for appointment, but Trump hasn’t called so far. . .

I figured it would be Neil. He lives in CO. Those folks are image seekers.He probably has never been on the well liked side of things. Those types tend to think they know best for everyone.

Funny how you never hear one simple question raised in these SCOTUS Confirmation Hearings, explain the meaning of the phrase “Shall Not Be Infringed”.

Another simple question, do you believe our Constitution is the Foundation of our Republic or is it a Living Document that can be manipulated to meet the whims of Society without utilizing the mandated Amendment Process?

Gorsuch positioning and jockeying for a shot at being the Chief Justice one of these days.

So all of these so-called conservative judges that Trump and the Senate have been delivering to our nation's courts: are they really conservatives or just libertarian suck-ups to Megacorps?

Gorsuch didn't just make this decision because his sister is gay. He did it because globohomo corporations want to be able to hire and relocate their employees wherever they are needed. They don't want to have to worry that some "backwater" place like Idaho has a different view of LGBTQ.

This ruling has so expanded the definition of Title IX that an ERA is no longer required.

Still, the ERA will be dusted off and revived and added to the Constitution. All activities, practices, and speech that oppose the new definition of Title IX or the upcoming ERA will be made illegal.

Welcome to the catacombs.

I’ve been in the court, Gorsuch thinks he’s a game show host up there. Loves to hear himself talk....

The supremes flipped the universal salute to the Heavenly Father. I sure do hope I get to have a ring side seat when they are called to account. The ‘Creator’ called the activity an abomination ... even cleared out sodomy way back when, but, just as it is Written there is nothing new under the sun.

We have been lied to repeatedly for 50+ years. Notice, the left justices *never* go astray on these cultural issues. The people they put on the courts will rule as the cultural degenerates demand — and so, apparently, will the people “our” presidents put on the courts.
