Key word would be HAD rule of Law. What we have now is a rule of lawmakers. Entirely different thing. The first is limited while this second permutation we are seeing appears unlimited.

Rule of lawmakers is fine - it's rule of judges that's wrong. Lawmaker are supposed to make laws. Not judges. I'm sick to death about these jerks on the SC making it possible to steal a citizens' land. I'm ready to fight them - unelect the liberals, get conservative judges, etc. I'm just not ready for a revolution. We can win playing by the rules.

No. It isn't. "We the People" are sovereign. We don't HAVE rulers. We have Representatives who are supposed to ensure that those Rights are protected, while doing those occasional things that only a large government body can do. Like fight a war or protect our borders. The first job of ANY elected official is to protect their constituents Rights. Period. End of story. It mentions it in EVERY oath of office. Lawmakers are only supposed to make such laws as are in their narrowly defined sphere of influence that "We the People" ceded to them.

Judges don't have any such power. They can only say that something follows the Constitution, or it doesn't. Period. End of story. They HAVE NO POWER to re-write the Constitution or alter its explicit meaning. Period. End of story.

If they can't figure that out, then they can be removed from office via one means or another. Including our Second Amendment option.

Will it take them loading home or gun owners on box cars before you are ready? How many more of our remaining Rights are you ready to give up to avoid restoring our Republic? I take it your frog pot at a boil feels like a hot-tub to you?
