Should the majority of the citizens, who were strongly opposed to the extension of slavery, “accepted defeat”, after Dred Scott v. Sanford? Should they have accepted the violent imposition of a pro-slavery government in Kansas?

Interestingly enough, the last actual use of such a law as Virginia’s were the Personal Liberty Laws passed by Northern States that not only nullified the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, but made compliance with it a crime punishable by double the penalties of the Fugitive Slave Law.So if Cokie wants to complain about nullification she needs to complain about abolitionists who angered the south by interfering with the enforcement of federal law.

When lefties say “threat to the Constitution” what they mean is “threat to advance of Marxism”.

[hinckley buzzard]

You have to remember that Cokie Boggs Roberts is the sewer-spawn of corrupt democrat dirtbags mother and father alike. No surprise she would crap all over the rule of Law.

Unconstitutional laws would include any law passed by the federal legislature that was not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

The term "unconstitutional law" is a contradiction. An unconstitutional act is never lawful.

[freekitty]

Cokie needs to go back under her rock.

[eyedigress]

Cokester is an elitist bitch that has her wealth. F-everyone else on that course. (Or that was).

[bamahead]

What is the problem? Does Cokie really want to eliminate the federal court’s ability to strike down unconstitutional laws?

Rhetorical question. Never underestimate the stupidity of the media.

Some people seem to fancy that an individual must have some sort of special insight whose only job is to sit before a camera, smile, and read news articles written by others.

This is much the same case as the intelligence often attributed to actors who simply mouth the clever words written for them by screenwriters.

In both cases, it is far more likely that those mugging for the cameras are the same variety of idiots as exist in the general population; they merely take on the aura of the characters they portray on screen, in the same fashion as a nail in closs proximity to a magnet takes on a charge.

Their opinions have no special merit whatsoever.

It's far better to leave the health care debate in the arena of electoral politics — and for the losers to accept defeat. That's the essence of democracy.

I'm sure they have the same feelings about abortion...

The already severely frayed fabric of government would certainly be further torn apart. It’s far better to leave the health care debate in the arena of electoral politics — and for the losers to accept defeat. That’s the essence of democracy.

Yes, that always seems to be the plan when THEY win. When the people who can read the Constitution win, well, Diebold cheated, or the President was "selected, not elected" or whatever. THEY never just go away after an electoral loss, and THAT's when the Constitution isn't even being shredded.

[Arrowhead1952]

Hey Cokie, if brains were hog excrement, you wouldn’t even emit a smell.

[facedown]

Cokie, you’re cheering for the wrong team.

But that's because it's her team.

[MNJohnnie]

Glad to see people dismantling this ignorant drivel from Roberts. When I read her original piece I was stunned by how completely divorced from all fact and reason her argument was.

Watch for a concerted campaign to re-define “judicial activism”.

A judge who uses the Constitution to reverse any action of the legislative brance, or the executive branch, or the regulatory branch, or the Fed Reserve branch ... that judge will be labeled a “judicial activist”.

And how many of you knew we now have so many branches?
