Do we have any attorneys who can file some legal motions or TRO’s in federal court to ask the courts to review the Constitutionality of all these power grabs? I realize it’d be a long shot, but there HAS to be SOMEONE with the proper credentials to file SOMETHING to get the courts to rule on the unConstitutionality of the Obama/Pelosi agenda....

"Do we have any attorneys who can file some legal motions or TRO’s in federal court to ask the courts to review the Constitutionality of all these power grabs?"

I've been advocating that for some time. I would love to see all perceived un-Constitutional legislation challenged. Apparently, no one wants to do it. Between the "commerce" clause (much abused) in the Constitution and the "welfare" clause in the Declaration of Independence (which has NO legal standing - it's simply a statement), no one tries.

INTENT has been long forgotten. There was much debate in the first Congress before the individual States signed on in 1787. There was also INTENT when some insisted on the original Bill of Rights and the meaning of said Amendments. However, they all believe in the "balance of power" to protect against totalitarianism.

It seems such has been lost to our current (3) branches of Federal government. The Presidency has long ago over-stepped it's powers (think FDR and more currently, Obama); the Congress has given up much of its power; the Judicial branch has become a legislator and looks outward to International law.

The sad irony is, the Founding Fathers called it Federalism.

No, they’re too busy trying to overturn - for the second time - the election results in CA (Prop 8). We will get as help from the legal “profession” as we do from the “free press”.

I agree that is time to stop being nice and maintain a high moral attitude. Look where it has gotten us! Civil disobedience is the next step - if we’ve got the guts. Then, there are other steps.

Deo vindice
