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?
Great line! No, I'm not in favor of judges making laws. I am in favor of our duly elected representatives making law. It's why we elect them. And as far as the nutty SC liberal judges are concerned, I want them replaced. Replaced by conservative judges. And it will happen - as long as we keep electing conservative Presidents and conservative representatives.
Republicans can't undo 40 years of liberal control overnight. It takes time. But the people are with us and it's happening. I believe in this country as much as you do, but I believe in following the laws as they are until we can change them. It's fair play and it's what Lincoln spoke about in his speeches. He was asked if a person had to follow a bad law and he said "yes", but they had an obligation to change that law. He went on to explain that in countries where a bad law could not be changed, the situation was different.
I don't believe in revolution - not when the only reason for it would be that "my side didn't win". The liberals won this one -- but IMHO it will be a short lived victory.
I believe the people will keep electing Republicans and we'll be able to reverse this ruling.
If we can't, they the other side is making better arguments. Here's my bottom line: you either trust the people or you don't. And I do. I trust the people to make the best choice.
