This is utterly incredible.

I don't know why I thought they would be immune, but it is clear that these judges are intoxicated with power. This is why I DESPISE any judge who is not a strict constructionist. Good grief, even a liberal could be strict constructionist. But these "living Constitution" people are the death of the republic.


BTW, have these guys ever heard of a amending the Constitution?

Do Justices take an oath similar to elected officials (and others), containing the "preserve, protect, and defend" wording regarding the Constitution? If so, one could reasonably argue that this particular Justice is treading dangerously close to violating his oath of office, and therefore might be subject to impeachment proceedings.

Yes, to the will, subordinate everything to the will.

Seems I remember someone saying something like that back in 1941 but I can't recall who it was.

Can anyone help me remember?

They wouldn't have said this if they didn't think it was too late for us to do anything about it.

Who thinks we'll hear a word about this from the republican party or the White house?

Breyer's probably hoping he'll get promoted to Chief Justice instead of Sandy.

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.

Just think: Bill's legacy could be to oversee the international tribunal that re-writes the Constitution.

Makes me want to puke!

Why should they? It was malcontents like you who supported Peort and gave Clinton the Presidency, letting him appoint Breyer and Ginsburg. And yes Reagan appointed O'Connor, but he also appointed Bork, but Oldsmobile Ted "borked" him. That doesn't really matter since some malcontents on FR were actually glad Kennedy wrecked Bork's nomination.

I want eveyone to take note of something VERY extraordinary here:

A sitting SCOTUS member went on national TV, with another SCOTUS member who agreed with him, to publicly argue against a postion taken by another SCOTUS member with a dissenting view.

To my recollection, this has NEVER been done before. Breyer is essentially lobbying the public to support the position he took in their majority decision in the sodomy case.

The more I think about this, the more astounded I am.

In the Lawrence v Texas case decided June 26, Justice Anthony Kennedy gave as a reason for overturning a Supreme Court ruling of 17 years earlier upholding sodomy laws that it was devoid of any reliance on the views of a "wider civilization."

Tell me again, tpaine: how are these champions of sodomy going to decide with respect to the RKBA?

These unelected nanny government buttinskis are your heroes, tpaine--not mine.

Not I when will have a "New World Order" vision "thing" in the White House.

Many have sworn an oath the defend the Constitution and by God that oath is still valid, and it WILL be defended!!!

"........whether our Constitution and how it fits into the governing documents of other nations, I think will be a challenge for the next generations..........."

One word: FLABBERGASTED

#####################################

Dear Justice Breyer,

What other governing documents do you want us to adapt to? The intellectually stunning composition that is the basis of the dynamo know as Liberia? Maybe you you are thinking of some other country down in Bongo Bongo-land? Or, how about the Narco-Republic of Meh-Hee-Ko? Or one of those honest and stable South America countries?

Rather than consider how our document 'fits into the governing documents of other nations', shouldn't THEY be considering how to adapt THEIR documents to us? Your statement betrays your anti-Americanism.

Sincerely,
Doc
