Ted Cruz: Constitutional Remedies to a Lawless Supreme Court

National Review ^ | June 26, 2015 | Ted Cruz

[Teacher317]

The Constitution states if we believe we have a tyrannical Govt ten it needs to be replaced, so why the hell s this not happening?

I believe that you are referring to the Declaration, not the Constitution.

[Cheerio]

Scalia can give us all the rhetorical candy he can come up with, but until he resigns he is a rank hypocrite,

"It’s over. It’s been over for years. We all consented to living under the Law of the United States of America and consented to pay taxes TO THAT NATION. That nation NO. LONGER. FLIPPING. EXISTS. and hasn’t for years. What you must now decide is whether or not you CONSENT to be governed by an explicitly, openly evil tyrannical oligarchy. The most clear and obvious sign of consent is the paying of taxes. Just sayin’."

[LS]

Absolutely agree. This may ultimately be his calling.

[manc]

sorry yes,not much sleep lately

[MeshugeMikey]

Thank you!

[b4its2late]

Yes, for sure he is the best person to lead this country.

> “The bottom line is that the 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and activist justices along with it.”

No argument here but it’s a longer term proposition. It won’t happen soon enough. A new amendment is needed now that will sail through quickly; my preference is that is be one that empowers state legislators and the people.

[Hostage]

Then we should all lie down and submit?

[CodeToad]

The Congress can impeach a supreme court member for lack of “good behavior”. Why haven’t they???

If Congress believes the court is acting politically, they can impeach those members that are.

Why haven’t they??

[SoFloFreeper]

actually, that would be a brilliant move. Cruz on SCOTUS would be better than Cruz in the White House.

Imagine 30 years or more of Constitutional rulings from the Third branch—it’d be great.

“Scalia can give us all the rhetorical candy he can come up with, but until he resigns he is a rank hypocrite”

Great, let’s spend our energy calling for the resignation of one of the good, dissenting justices so he can be replaced by another Kagan or Sotomayor. Sounds like a winning plan to me...

"How is tyranny to be restrained?">> good question, Jacquerie; I've been asking myself that. I am grateful to have gotten this info this am from Billie Tucker:

Because mourning only is not an option:

There is a sleeping giant in America – a giant that has been hunkering down, keeping quiet, and trying not to make any waves. A sleeping giant just trying to ride out the storm bearing down on America, focused on family, their jobs, and ‘life’, while the national turmoil and chaos swirls and blows against them and those they love.

For years, a Beast has been poking the chest of our sleeping giant. Poke. Poke. Poke.

The Beast is a bully. Like all bullies, looking for a fight and growing in confidence each year while our giant sleeps. Our sleeping giant appears to have been silenced. No one appears to be willing to stand against the Beast’s destructive behavior. No one in power, not the media, not the national stage, not elected officials, not even the local school board or city council is communicating what our sleeping giant can trust and believe.

Time to donate to his campaign again.

I don’t know how he thinks he is going to get a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage. First of all, he’d had to convince the Republicans....no way as they can’t stand him.....second, he’d have to convince the Democrats...he probably could get a few on his side but not many......third, he’d have to convince the states......I doubt he could get more then 10. The job should have been done before this ruling not after.

[American in Israel]

Yeah, but Ted Cruzes and Ronald Regans are few and far between. We need a staunch constitutionalist to repair the damage done by the immigrant muslim socialist racist in cheif.

I suspect everything outside of Walker is a nonstarter for you, eh?

Yeah, I’m sure of it.

Walker’s a good egg, a solid 1st string player. a star ....

but not a super star that comes once in a generation, perhaps a lifetime.

Walker’s young; plenty of time for ....later. He’ll be just 54 in 2024. In the meantime let’s see Scotty whip his state legislature to get behind the forces associated with the link above.

LOVE ME MY TEDDY C!

The boy is smart!

Only AFTER HE SERVES AS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT for 8 years. THEN he can retire to the Supreme Court if that is possible.

[Publius]

It’s what William Howard Taft did, although he only served four years as president.

[napscoordinator]

I suspect everything outside of Walker is a nonstarter for you, eh?

Not sure why you are bringing Walker into it, but if Walker mentioned a constitution amendment to get rid of gay marriage. I’d say the same thing....how are you going to get this accomplished. He is going for getting rid of ACA which will be hard enough. The wonderful thing about Walker is that although he is high in the polls, he has not even announced yet. He is still working in the state which is what all of them should be doing. Our election is way too long. It should not be more then a year....In fact, it is a shame that we can’t say that nobody can announce before a year before the election. That would really make our system better. The endless elections are tiresome that is for sure.
