An Open Letter to Justice Kennedy

Special to FreeRepublic ^ | 24 June, 2005 | John Armor (Congressman Billybob)

Based on the this latest ruling I will have to say that the 10 Commandments are gone for good.

I thought Congress Billy Bob's letter was excellent, so this joke certainly does not refer to him. The talk about the Constitution and the Ten Commandments brought this to mind:

COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington. And they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them each a cow.

CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart Guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

COMMANDMENTS

Want to know the real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse? You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile working environment.

What are our options as citizens other than armed resistance to this tyranny.

I'm sure there are alot of people who want to know.

Calling Congressmen and Senators so often gets us nowhere, but is this the only option we have?

[Congressman Billybob]

Do you OWN a bar? Do you offer credit? What's the street address? LOL.

Cows, Constitution and Commandments, I hope I don¡t have to choose which one I like the most, they are all good.

I do like the one about the cows and have to ask the same question. Then again I remember that on one day LEO all over the country rounded up 10,000 criminals. What did they do for the other 364 days?

As Thomas Jefferson observed, the remedy of impeachment is "a scare-crow" against judges who exceed their authority. The only remedy I see is to lean on the Republicans in the Senate to grow some spines, and to attack the Democrats their savagely, often, and by all means necessary.

This case is but another proof that the judicial confirmation process, FREED of the unconstitutional application of the filibuster, is not a minor issue. It is critical to the fate of the Constitution and of the nation.

What if a particular Justice is uses his/her independence...

Should that read "is using" or, perhaps, drop the "is" altogether?

[Dead Corpse]

Interesting read.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Go get 'em tiger! Very well put :-D

[Congressman Billybob]

You're right. That's an editing error, which I have already corrected for the benefit of my print publishers. Good eye.

Alas, the only bar I truly own is the bottle of Jack Daniels I have in the cupboard. However, in your case, your money and credit are no good. Ya drink with me, ya drink for free.

I find it very curious that Kennedy thinks the gov't cannot
intrude into anything that happens in a person's bedroom EVER,
yet, the gov't can swipe a person's bedroom, and the house
attached to it, and give it to someone else anytime it wants.
Weird! Where's a guy supposed to go commit adultery and sodomy
and violate below age-of-consent persons if the government
steals his bedroom?

If beloved Freeper RJayneJ were still with us, she'd make this the Quote of the Day.

[Arrowhead1952]

Reprehensible to say the least. That is a "mild' statement of what I feel about this STUPID decision the not supreme court made. I think each justice should be required to pass an IQ test every few years. Some of their latest "rulings" make me think they should be in the local nursing homes.

Next: does anyone have the Supremes' snail mail address?

This is what I found this morning -- can't remember where I found it though --

The Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street, NE
Washington DC 20543

[PeskyOne]

The Supreme Court cannot disbar me for these remarks, because I resigned from their Bar a year ago. (See, "To the Supreme Court: I Quit.")

Thank you for your excellent post.

I've visited your website, but I can't find a copy of, "To the Supreme Court: I Quit"...where can I find a copy? I would love to read it! Thanks.

[Congressman Billybob]

I posted that article on FreeRepublic. Also, it will come up several places on the Internet with any search engine.

"Ya drink with me, ya drink for free."

That goes for me, too, whether in my home or aboard the MV Delta Dittos.

Thanks!

Great letter, CBb; thanks.

As Thomas Jefferson observed, the remedy of impeachment is "a scare-crow" against judges who exceed their authority.

Since it is quite apparent that the Senate (who won't even cull its own treasonous and seditious members) will not impeach judges who violate the constitutional requirements laid upon them, then it is time to impose a limit on the time-in-office of these judges. Ten years and/or 70.

As usual, I have no printable comments to add to your work - save that I agree with your points, and sadly predict non-compliance with your conclusion.
