Yep. Our country is all but gone. We are pert near AMERICA in name only.
The Judge is correct. The Rights given to us by our Creator and recognized in the Bill of Rights are being ignored by all branches of government.
I doont necessarily disagree with his overall point, but he distorts and mischaracterizes as much as any liberal activist judge.
This is another article on the side of the scale that restoring the USA from within the system is becoming impossible. Once Obama legalizes several tens of millions of illegals and continues to import as many as he can, the takeover will be complete. The US will have fallen to a soft coup lead by the cabal in the White House and their agents throughout the government and the media.
The time to resort to that third (or fourth, depending on your list) box gets closer every day.

Instead of declaring war on the terrorists, our government declared war on its own citizens.
Yes, Jorge refused to close the border and make illegals self-deport, and refused to round up mohammedans who had overstayed their visas, but he did push the “Patriot” Act. So now we continue to have porous borders and mohammedan immigration but can feel secure that 85 year old, white-haired grandmas are having to endure body cavity searches at the airport.
Thank you, Jorge.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

While the word “privacy” is not used, the right of privacy is nonetheless guaranteed by the 4th amendment. To be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects” implies privacy. The government routinely violates the 4th amendment under the cover of unconstitutional laws.
Sorry Judge .. BUT AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC .. not a democracy.
"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court even can do much to help it." - Judge Learned Hand
"If I have learned anything from the reading of history, it is that the man who, in violation of great principles, toils for temporary fame, purchases for himself either total oblivion or eternal infamy, while he who temporarily goes down battling for right principles always deserves, and generally secures, the gratitude of succeeding ages, and will carry with him the sustaining solace of a clean conscience, more precious than all the offices and honors in the gift of man." - Sen. Zacharias Montgomery
After Thomas Jefferson, in his First Inaugural, had enumerated the principles which would guide his Administration in his First Inaugural, he added:
"These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
So-called "progressives" of the 20th and 21st Centuries, in their arrogance, have removed (censored) the Founders' ideas of liberty from America's textbooks, and, as researchers discovered decades ago, early volumes of their writings were relegated to dusty stacks in remote areas of libraries.
Technology, however, has outstripped their efforts. Every American school child and adult now has potential access to almost every word the Founders spoke and wrote, and their ideas are being rediscovered and circulated in a manner prior to computers and the internet, as if by the hand of Divine Providence.
Enduring principles, according to the Founders were just that--enduring and "self-evident."
The sacred Rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written as with a sunbeam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power>" - Alexander Hamilton
"Kings or parliaments could not give the rights essential to happiness, as you confess those invaded by the Stamp Act to be. We claim them from a higher source - from the King of kings, and Lord of all the earth. They are not annexed to us by parchments and seals. They are created in us by the decrees of Providence, which establish the laws of our nature. They are born with us, exist with us, and cannot be taken from us by any human power, without taking our lives. In short, they are founded on the immutable maxims of reason and justice." - John Dickinson (Signer of the Constitution of the U. S., as quoted in "Our Ageless Constitution, p. 286)
excerpted words from President Andrew Jackson's Proclamation of December 10, 1832:
"We have received it [the Constitution] as the work of the assembled wisdom of the nation. We have trusted to it as to the sheet anchor of our safety in the stormy times of conflict with a foreign or domestic foe. We have looked to it with sacred awe as the palladium of our liberties, and with all the solemnities of religion have pledged to each other our lives and fortunes here and our hopes of happiness hereafter in its defense and support. Were we mistaken, my countrymen, in attaching this importance to the Constitution . . .? No. We were not mistaken. The letter of this great instrument is free from this radical fault. . . . No, we did not err! . . . The sages . . . have given us a practical and, as they hoped, a permanent* Constitutional compact. . . . The Constitution is still the object of our reverence, the bond of our Union, our defense in danger, the source of our prosperity in peace: it shall descend, as we have received it, uncorrupted by sophistical construction, to our posterity. . . ."
*Underlining added for emphasis
And, it was Thomas Jefferson who used another metaphor with reference to the Constitution when he indicated that "the People" must "bind them (government) by the chains of the Constitution." In another instance, he declared: "It was intended to lace them up straitly within the enumerated powers. . . ."
The word "democracy" is nowhere in the Constitution.
I have come to see GW as Ceaser to Obama’s Octavian.

Bush also signed into law, The Military Commissions Act, which declares every American a suspect before the crime.
