Justice Breyer: U. S. Constitution should be subordinated to international will

WorldNetDaily ^ | July 7, 2003

[KC Burke]

The oath that they took is forgotten in the orgy of Rationalism and Sentimentality.

[Maelstrom]

Breyer and O'Connor share this viewpoint in this article. Moreover, they imply that SIX of them may have this viewpoint.

The subordination of the US to the UN through the Judicial branch is but ONE of the problems articulated. Far more dangerous...EVIL...is in how he blatantly admits that they are *not* interpreting the Constitution, but re-writing it's meaning by parsing it word by word:

When you look at the word 'two' for two representatives from every state in the United States Senate, two means two. But when you look like a word – look at a word like 'interstate commerce,' which they didn't have automobiles in mind, or they didn't have airplanes in mind, or telephones, or the Internet, or you look at a word like 'liberty,' and they didn't have in mind at that time the problems of privacy brought about, for example, by the Internet and computers.

Do you see? Breyer has set himself up as one of nine rulers over the United States of America!

As a side-note...this sort of parsing is *exactly* the reason the War Between the States began.

We need to get these people out of office before they bring about another!

You're right. There's a lot more headline than meat to this article.

Evidently, you didn't read the majority decision in Lawrence either. But feel free to offer uninformed opinions, it's what FR is all about.

Didn't Garth Brooks record that song? You are right -- doesn't get any lower than what I have been seeing recently!

If there's one thing I learned during the eight years of horror under Clinton, it is never to wait for "other people" to do the job. What job? Any job. The job they may be sworn to do, or the job that has been historically theirs to do, etc. These are lawless, irresponsible times.

Even the election of Mr. Bush, a goood, honest, bold man, has not checked the disrespect for law, the growth of aresponsible bureaucracies, the rise of the Nanny-Fascist-State.

Yes...Garth Brooks.

From the majority in Lawrence vs Texas

The European Court of Human Rights has followed not Bowers but its own decision in Dudgeon v. United Kingdom. See P. G. & J. H. v. United Kingdom, App. No. 00044787/98, ¶ ;56 (Eur. Ct. H. R., Sept. 25, 2001); Modinos v. Cyprus, 259 Eur. Ct. H. R. (1993); Norris v. Ireland, 142 Eur. Ct. H. R. (1988).

Are the United Kingdom, Cyprus and Ireland are the 51, 52 and 53 states?

No evidence here of deferring to European sensibilities, none at all. Sheesh.

"...whether our Constitution...fits into the governing documents of other nations..."

That't the meat.

[F16Fighter]

Thanks for the heads up...

Out of the closet head-first here leaps the elitist Breyer pronouncing his dream for a socialist One World Government.

Question: Can Stephen Breyer's statements be deemed traitorous and sedititious to the Republic?

We all can expect that the 2nd Amendments 'Right To bear Arms' will be attacked voraciously by the Left in the coming years -- Breyer's future vote can already be considered tabulated.

[ninenot]

Breyer and O'Connor can actually get nominated

The story on O'Connor: Reagan was blindsided by Baker.

Baker really wanted the First Female Justice for the Reagan Admin, and she was mentioned. Baker got a report on her which TOTALLY ELIMINATED all reference to her stridently pro-abortion legislative record (Az. State Senate.)

Several friends of Reagan (and pro-lifers) tried to set the record straight--to no avail. Baker blocked them at every turn.

By the way: the individual who wrote the glowing and horribly misleading report on O'Connor??

KENNETH STARR

[appalachian_dweller]

The SCOTUS has been overstepping is Constitutional authority for a very long time. In their twisted minds the Constitution is already dead.

For now, the only thing any of us can really do about it is vote. For now.

[SkyPilot]

If Bill Clinton becomes UN Secretary, you can be damn sure the time of the anti-christ will have begun. And look for completely blind, anti-American fools like Breyer to help lead the way.

You're beautiful when you're right.

_{....heck, all the time :^>}

[Redbob]

"In an unrelated matter, O'Connor indicated on "This Week" that she would likely serve out the next term on the court, dismssing speculation that she was about to retire."

Or, maybe she'll just die.
Just before the last election, O'Connor was saying publicly that she was only staying on until Bush was elected. Now it looks as if Bush is "too conservative" for her, so she plans to stick it out.

[Constitutional Patriot]

The left wants the Constitution to be a "living, breathing" document so that they can kill it. You cannot kill that which is not living (or breathing...).

[F16Fighter]

Breyer: >>"...whether our Constitution...fits into the governing documents of other nations...">

"That's the meat."

NO doubt.

[ninenot]

Rush SUPPORTED PJB?

Really.

I heard all the interviews--including the ones he gave Bush I. (Still King George to me...)

Neither Rush nor PJB "gave us Perot." People who thought that Clinton sucked (correctly) and that King George was a ratfink on taxes (correctly) decided that Perot was a better alternative.

It's what we call democracy, babe: voting the bums out!

[AntiGuv]

Antiguv, you were saying that the majority in Kennedy was only replying to Burger vis a vis the Europeans.

I certainly was not. I was saying that Kennedy was clearly replying to Burger vis a vis the Europeans. I made no comment whatsoever regarding the motivations of the other five justices which joined in full or in part.

Otherwise, I saw Breyer's comments and found them problematic in the extreme - I won't claim otherwise. How our Constitution fits into the governing documents of other nations should not be the slightest concern of the Supreme Court. If the Congress wishes to have the Constitution accord more closely to those of other nations, then that's another matter altogether. That's why we have the amendment process.

[SkyPilot]

Strange, O'Connor looks like the she-hag demon from the movie Army of Darkness. Oh come on! I am not crazy...you guys have seen the movie. Am I wrong?

[ninenot]

Yeah--Rush is sticking it to Bush on his grandiose spending programs--like Education--and this asinine pharmacy vote-buying scheme.

But that's what the 1st Amendment is about. It's NOT about Bushbots calling names. It's about POLICY.
