Article III, Section 2 - The Washington Times: Editorials/OP-ED In the 107th Congress (2001-2002), Congress used the authority of Article III, Section 2, clause 2 on 12 occasions to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
The Foundation for the National Archives states that, "The Virginia Declaration of Rights strongly influenced Thomas Jefferson in writing the first part of the Declaration of Independence. It later provided the foundation for the Bill of Rights."
The Virginia Declaration of Rights states, " That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life ."
Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, acknowledged the source of Rights and expressed the fundamental purpose of government: "....all Men are created equal...endowed by their Creator with...unalienable Rights, that among these are Life....to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted...."
Robert C. Cannada writing in the The National Lawyers Association Review, Winter 1996, connected the Declaration of Independence to the U.S. Constitution: "The National Lawyers Association takes the position that the practical effect of the legal connection or relationship between the Declaration and the Constitution is that the Constitution is to be interpreted in the light of the principles set forth in the Declaration.[...] The Preamble introduces and explains the purpose of The U.S. Constitution, and links it to The Declaration of Independence." The Preface to the United States Code - Annotated states that "this code is the official restatement in convenient form of the general and permanent laws of the United States in force December 7, 1925...."
The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution states," We the People of the United States, in Order to....secure the Blessings of Liberty to...our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution...."
Amendment V - "No person shall be...deprived of life...without due process of law...."
In First Things, January 2003: Constitutional Persons, Robert H. Bork stated that, "Science and rational demonstration prove that a human exists from the moment of conception."
Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution provides the means for Congress to overthrow the law-breaking branch of the federal government and allow states to mend their broken laws. In the 107th Congress (2001-2002), Congress used the authority of Article III, Section 2, clause 2 on 12 occasions to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
We the People Act (HR 3893 IH) was only supported by two members of the U.S. House, and virtually unheard of, or promoted by the pro-life constituency.
It is past time to terminate the rule of broken law contained in the unconscionable and unconstitutional edicts of the U.S. Supreme court.
We the People Act needs to be reintroduced and passed by the 109th Congress and restore the rule of Law.
This is an amazing article. One minion of Hades, Blackmun, kept detailed records...including on how another, Kennedy, sold his very soul.
If these papers show anything they show that 40-plus million souls have been murdered due to a single unelected human being who changed his mind at the last moment.
Blackmun's papers are compelling proof that appointing someone to a position of unaccountable power, from which they cannot be realistically removed for the remainder of their lives, is no way to run a free Republic.
It's time that the American people reevaluated the Constitutional role of the Judiciary in American politics.
It doesn't surprise me about Kennedy at all.
Two "Catholic" justices were largely responsible for Roe v. Wade. One was Justice Brennan, who was the real author of Roe v. Wade and who used Blackmun, who was actually rather stupid, as his sock puppet. The other was Kennedy.
The bishops have a heavy burden on their consciences for not having dealt with these two Catholic justices as they should have been dealt with.
And let's not forget Sandra Day O'Connor, supposedly a Republican, and David Souter, also a Republican nominee, probably the worst mistake since Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren.

Such sterling service to America. How should he be rewarded for such service (assuming anyone can get close enough to deliver the reward)?
Rehnquist, "Roe V. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973):
"To reach its result, the Court necessarily has had to find within the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment a right that was apparently completely unknown to the drafters of the Amendment. There apparently was no question concerning the validity of this provision or of any of the other state statutes when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted. The only conclusion possible from this history is that the drafters did not intend to have the Fourteenth Amendment withdraw from the States the power to legislate with respect to this matter." caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=410&invol=113
FT January 2003: Constitutional Persons, Robert H. Bork made the following comments about Roe v. Wade:
"Blackmun invented a right to abortion....Roe had nothing whatever to do with constitutional interpretation. The utter emptiness of the opinion has been demonstrated time and again, but that, too, is irrelevant. The decision and its later reaffirmations simply enforce the cultural prejudices of a particular class in American society, nothing more and nothing less. For that reason, ROE is impervious to logical or historical argument; it is what some people, including a majority of the justices, want, and that is that....Science and rational demonstration prove that a human exists from the moment of conception....Scalia is quite right that the Constitution has nothing to say about abortion."
Thank you for another most Excellent read. NEVER a fan of
Blackmum, NOR Roe v. Wade. Though when I was a Christian in
Name Only -and then only when convienent, I traded into the
LIE that it is a "Womans issue" than no man had any right to comment upon it. One recent author (RobertBork?)said
the majority of the supreme Court Justices seem to be gnostics at best. Blackmum--like Hugo Black-seemed to be black hearted Communist to the core.
One cannot respect a man so weak that people's opinion of him drive his rulings on a court where millions of lives are at risk. Kennedy's character has a major flaw ... he has no real principles in life, only longing for acceptance by those he worships (like the twisted Blackmun). Well, the serial killers and their worshippers must have a high judgement for him, but I doubt he will escape judgement by God just because millions of lost souls love him.
Subpreme Court unjustice Kennedy is the worst kind of judicial activist, ruling and reruling in order to garner favor rather than follow the Constitution he swore to defend and uphold. But he's too mealy mouthed to realize his wrongness so he goes right ahead continuing to be an activist in 'sheep's clothing'.
