Hey, I don't want my kids to HAVE to speak French just to get a long. I also don't want them to be afraid to show their respect and worship to God.

This "politically correct, don't offend anyone, accept GLOBAL policy crap" needs to stop.

By late April it will be too late. People are upset NOW, and with their short, sound-bite memories they will have forgotten this latest ruling by then.

Also, you will get more participation if you start a petition drive directed toward Congress. More people can sign a petition than can travel to D.C.

Well to answer all the "brain fart" questions (and comments) at the same time - I didn't say "directly". He does have the power to "realign" the court, by appointment. In some cases, if the balance of power were to be tilted toward an "in pocket" congress, judges could be replaced, or the number of justices added to bu congress. This would set the court back on to the tasks enumerated in article III of the constitution.

March on Sacramento?

If you are in Canada, are you aware our Terminator is proposing four initiatives here for a special election in November that would change things quite a bit?

The Teacher's unions (Abolish Tenure) and the legislature (Reapportionment by independent body) are most ticked off about two of them...

THE GOVERNOR IS IN ACTION!

Good for your congressman---I hope he pushes to get it voted on before many more lousy decisions are made---

I can't believe the court wouldn't even listen to the case of Norma McCorvey's Roe v Wade, but they heard this AND ruled the wrong way--

I too would love to go---I just want to make sure that we would hit the Senate buildings as well---the Senators have got to get their collective heads out of their a**es!!!

>According to Mark Levin, Congress has the authority to regulate the COURTS - why aren't they ..?? <

Because they are a bunch of pansies. We can't even get Repubs to fight the filibuster or at the very least make the Dems ACTUALLY filibuster.

Not much chance of them going up against the SC.

We need to start hitting Congress in the pocketbook and at the voting booth.

Demonstrations might at least call attention to the "restless natives".

Frist doesn't use my words "exactly" but reading through the entire article that was my summary. The Senators are stating WE aren't onboard yet, so they can't do their job.

First, I refute that nosense. the majority, except senior citizens that aren't even affected, are onboard with reform. Second, it is their job to lead, not take polls. As the President does. Third, the people vocal against it are Dem activists! After the election you would ... hope these people would understand the person that screams the loudest doesn't necessarily represent the majority. In this case the people are Dems that don't even vote for these Senators. And the Reps are caving to them? People that hate them and will never defend them? Agaianst those that elected them and run the grassroots of their successful campaigns?

As I said, this was my tipping point. I only have so much patience and they have depleted it. They either do the job we elected them to do, or we'll vote them out in the primaries. I'm not going to elect people that will not even FIGHT for what is right.

Excellent point about the common historical misunderstandings regarding Marbury v. Madison. The problem as I see it is not so much the notion of judicial review as it is the notion of judicial supremacy, i.e., the notion that a decision of the Supreme Court has binding effect beyond the individual parties to the litigation.

For an interesting take on Marbury v. Madison, see David E. Engdahl, "John Marshall's 'Jeffersonian' Concept of Judicial Review," 42 DUKE LAW JOURNAL 279 (1992).

"our black robe wearing, unaccountable and unelected legislators."

Perhaps we need to make the Official FReeper PJs BLACK as we are the ultimate authority in the U.S., UNDER GOD.

And the judges CAN be stripped of their robes, we just gotta focus our outrage and energy on what's important....THIS!

Well .. I agree with Rush's analysis. He said that the repubs are isolated and insolated. The repubs NEED TO HEAR FROM US. Rush is convinced the repubs don't really believe the public is behind them .. rooting for them.

Well .. I believe it's also because getting invited to the right parties and the weekends in the Hamptons has become more of a priority than UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION.

I intend to tell them that - every other day or so - say message being sent over and over - it will get their attention. I think everybody should do that - until they DO SOMETHING BESIDES SAY THEY CAN'T GET IT DONE.
