no civil disobedience — letters from a birmingham jail
“So your remedy would apparently be civil war.”
We deserve freedom and liberty in OUR lifetimes, not “sometime” in the future.
I am of the opinion that a second civil war is no longer avoidable.
Article 3, Section 2, middle paragraph gives Congress all the power they need to overrule the Supreme Court and discard any of their opinions in this matter:
“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”
Those 535 folks in DC who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution need to get on this right away.
The Supreme Court is not the final say. Congress is.
This wasn't enough for him?
How could it get any worse?
Read Post #21.
This is Ted Cruz's ticket back to electability.
An advocate for an Article V Convention.
He would have even my unequivocal support.
And I am disappointed by that.
By the heavy, focused, enthusiastic exercise of the Second Amendment.
Post #21.
I think we are about to discover how difficult and costly it will be to separate from a Marxist/Fascist regime.
Militant Secularists where government is god, or militant Jihadists who use terror to create a government for their god - tough call which bunch will cause more horror and bloodshed since they are defacto allies right now, but I am leaning towards the latter.
“Anyone that can’t see Ted Cruz as our next President must be blind or living under a rock.”
Those that can’t see this don’t deserve the dirt it would take to bury their worthless corpses. Let the birds eat their remains.
Yes, I am starting to show my dark side. ;>)
A Court System and indeed an entire Government's lawlessness is best restrained by a heavy, concentrated, and overwhelming exercise of the Second Amendment in the Nations Capital.
Sooner or later, it's coming. There will be no middle-ground and no more sitting on the fence. The time to re-take our liberty from a runaway, lawless Supreme Court who's over-extended their Constitutional Authority and subjected 320,000,000 people to it's will is coming.
Prepare.
I will give “Equality” the same respect and consideration that most on the left give to the 2nd Amendment.
We have exhausted three of the four boxes traditionally used to manage our formerly free republic. The fourth box beckons.
Are this many Americans infected with Normalcy Bias or am I the only odd ball left in the country who sees reality for what it is?
Do this many people not understand we live in a POST-CONSTITUTIONAL COUNTRY???? That we suffered a Marxist/Fascist Velvet Coup????
Look, it's Red Dawn WITHOUT the planes, tanks and troops. Do you folks really think that passing new Amendments to a document that has been replaced by fiat is going to stop the tyrants that committed the coup??
If you do - you do not understand who now rules us and what their intentions are.
How can anyone think that because the current Beast on The Potomac disregards the Constitution, that somehow passing new Amendments to the Constitution are going to have any effect??????????
I'm all for a COS if for anything else - to show that efforts were made to stop and reverse what has already happened to us.
But if you put your faith in a COS - I am telling you right now - your faith is misplaced and nothing that you hope for is going to come from it. Think PAST the Normalcy Bias- because our overlords most certainly already have.
I warn against anyone who says that Article V is our only hope, and that doing so WILL return us back to a Constitutional Republic. Same as I will warn ANYONE who says that Ted Cruz or ANY single politician running for President is going to be our messiah and save us.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following question.
How did citizens react when the corrupt Court legalized abortion in 1973? Although the corrupt Court has likewise unconstitutionally legalized gay marriage imo, I suspect that citizens are much more aware of the dirty work of activist justices this time around which is a good sign if so, particularly since an election year is coming up.
“Rendering the justices directly accountable to the people would provide such a remedy. Twenty states have now adopted some form of judicial retention elections, and the experience of these states demonstrates that giving the people the regular, periodic power to pass judgment on the judgments of their judges strikes a proper balance between judicial independence and judicial accountability. It also restores respect for the rule of law to courts that have systematically imposed their personal moral values.”
I have advocated that very thing for years. However, I also advocate that all “landmark” decisions MUST be ratified by the states just as if it were a constitutional amendment. The SCOTUS has essentially taken it upon themselves to amend the COTUS whenever they feel like it. Their decisions should be ratified by the states before they have ANY force of law.
“I wish Cruz well on the quest. The outrage over this D.C. doubleheader of nonsense could indeed propel him into the White House.”
It well could, and God willing will.
“But politics alone cannot solve an issue fundamentally anchored in the spiritual. The people of the country are going to have to turn back to God from the world/flesh/devil system that rules their hearts now, before blessings rather than curses will be attracted to the country.”
Amen! Right on that. The sad truth is that even in our conservative Christian churchs, that heterosexual immorality is a problem. It was the heterosexual immorality that became so “acceptable” in the late 60s then 70s that have brought us to where we are now. The sodomization of marriage was just the result of heterosexual immorality.
