Men(ace) in Black? SCOTUS goes Rogue...

Supreme Court's illegal ruling (on cap punishment) should TRIGGER THE NUCLEAR OPTION -- The problem is, SCOTUS is basically immune to public opinion. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing. We can protest at SCOTUS until we are blue in the face - but I doubt Sandra Day O'Connor would care.

Now, if governors told SCOTUS that their ruling was illegitimate and carried no influence on their state perogatives, now THAT would get the attention of SCOTUS.

 

 A MOVE TOWARD DEMOCRACY ... AND THAT'S A DANGEROUS MOVE

 

 The Supreme Court and Foreign Law

 

 Black robes and betrayal -- We need to hold these officials accountable through impeachment, recall, nullification, interposition and arrest where necessary.

 CNN: US SUPREME COURT: ALL DEATH PENALTY CASES WITH JUVENILE KILLERS THROWN OUT! -- Two of the "children" released from death row by this ruling are the murderers and rapists Perez and Villareal who raped and murdered 15 year old Elizabeth Pena and 14 year old Jennifer Ertman in Texas about 12 years ago. They not only raped them but violated them in every orifice before beating them to death. Then they called the girls' parents and asked if they knew where their daughters were. Nice kids that SCOTUS has let off the hook.

 I googled the victims' names, and the accounts of the case turned my stomach.

 Men in Black is a must-read (Rush Limbaugh) -- "Most recently, Levin writes, 5 current activist justices have announced that, when they see fit, they'll use foreign law and foreign court rulings as guideposts to making their decisions, a repudiation of the constitution's mandates and limitations, and rejection of popular sovereignty."

 

 

 Is it time for a March on the SCOTUS and the Judiciary and the Senate? ...this is becoming an issue of American Soverignty, and even those who may agree with the result should be concerned...

Exactly. Jonathan Turley, an HONEST liberal, who is a Constitutional scholar, said the same thing on Fox News tonight.

 

 Impeachment Of Supreme Court Justice(s)? -- Technically, a judge of any federal court can be impeached on whatever charge a simple majority of the House of Representatives will vote, and can be convicted and removed on whatever charge a 2/3 majority of the Senate will vote.

 

  Is it Time for a Revolution? (Vanity) -- As Jim Quinn (www.warroom.com) says, "The Second Amendment is the reset button on the Constitution."

Preventing Private Property Seizures In The Wake Of The Kelo Decision -- As you know, on June 23, 2005, the United States Supreme Court made a startling ruling in the case of Kelo v. New London (docket #04-108). In that case, the Supreme Court interpreted the eminent domain clause of the 5th Amendment of the United States Constitution in such a way that now anyone’s private property can be taken by a government body and given to a private developer, in an effort to increase the government’s tax base.

Developers Consider Suing Florida City for Not Using Eminent Domain Powers-- Let me translate what this robber baron is really saying:
"We spent a bunch of money for bribes, influence, and palm greasing to get corrupt Democrats to help us steal private property. Our plan is now worthless because freedom loving conservatives turned over the rock where we hide and shined the light on our unconstitutional activites. So we are suing the corrupt government for backing out of our sleazy deal."
