The foolishness of that response is exceeded only by its absurdity. The hue and cry over the past weekend was to have a federal court review the legal sufficiency of the state several trial and appellate courts' decisions. The U.S. district court and the 11th Circuit court have now done exactly that. So now, the lawless, madding and insane crowd is bleating loudly to incite an unamerican resort to violence. Their result would thus be for the future that we will cease being a nation of laws and return to the riotious mob rule and overthrow of constitutional order in favor of rule by flexing of muscle by street criminals and who can control the police forces and others with guns. That makes us a retrograde mob ruled society like Nigeria and Ruwanda. Maybe that would be an interesting experiment in government. Nah, maybe not.

There is also the situation where the rule of law is a mask for totalitarianism and genocide. Please read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich or The Gulag Archipelago for additional information at your leisure.

Calling the assertion of executive or legislative authority over the wrongful, un-Constitutional usurpation of the judicial branch mob rule is foolish and absurd on your part. The responsibility to do the right thing belongs to Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida legislature, not a street mob. Their action would not turn this nation into another Nigeria, but return us back to the original concept of tripartite government that the Founding Fathers advocated.
