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

Then why didn't they give the impeachment ability to us citizens instead of the congress? I guess it didn't matter, If we're too stupid to quit voteing for people like daschall, kennedy, schumer, and fienstien(sp) then why would we bother to impeach a sc justice? (proper nouns not capitalized as an intentional display of dis-respect)

The politicians are encouraged by the people they hear from the most and not necessarily the ones who are pissed-off the most. They respond to the majority of there constituancies....that's how they get reelected. If they don't get reelected, then the bad guys take control, and we get more angrier than we are now, the country goes further down the tubes, and we blame it on the candidate.....the big cop-out.

You're wasting your breath pointing out the obvious to these loons.

They despise and fear democracy and--to tell the truth--they detest the republican form of goverment we have, too. Many of them seem to believe that if you would just eliminate politicians and elected office, give every citizen a wallet-sized copy of the Constitution (with magnifying glass), and another card reading "initiate no force" a libertarian paradise would spring forth spontaneously from California to Maine.

In the final analysis, they are really trying to avoid responsibility. They shift blame to others for whatever lost or compromised freedoms are suffered and never once examine themselves to discover how their own ineptness, cowardice, slothfulness, greed, self-obsession and petty arrogance might have contributed to the decay and decadence in society and government.

So if the president falls to get his policy through, you'll vote for him. If he is successful at getting that same policy through, you won't vote for him.

Yes. Motives usually aren't as important to me as actions. If Bush wants an Amnesty and doesn't get it, then it's not an issue for me and I can focus on other things.

41 appointed Breyer.

To bad 41 didn't have the guts 40 and 43 have. It would have been nice to see him reup Bork. Clearly a two term 41 would have been far better than 42.

40 = Reagan
41 = G. H. W. Bush
42 = Clinton
43 = G. W. Bush

You simply won't hold politicians accountable with your vote, and are bothered that others will.

I'm bothered by people who take a bad situation and make it worse. In the '92 General Election, the people you are so proud of took a bad situation and made it worse. Millions of voters did far worse damage to our country than one man named Bush did and you can't hide from that fact and you can't mask it behind words like disaffected, accountable, ideology or anything else.

Politicians are accountable to their voters. Democrat politicians are very accountable to there voters. That accountability must make you very happy since accountability at any cost is so important to you. You have no choice but to give the Liberals a better accountability rating than their opponents and, therefore, you have to vote for them.

You probably could offer your opinion without dissing people, but why change a mind when you can alienate someone instead?

You're right, no excuses, attack of assholitis.

[Sabertooth]

He has said he will sign the renewel of the AWB. How do you feel about that one.

That would be a dark day. However, while I don't begrudge those who would part ways with the President over it, I don't see how we can all have a dozen tripwires that would trigger a non-vote for Bush.

[sargon]

Breyer is a Traitor to the Constitution, obviously.

He should be impeached, to say the least..

[lugsoul]

I've read this a couple of times now, and I've yet to find the part where he says the USC should be subservient to international agreements. Where is that again?

[sargon]

Recall Gray Davis?

Impeach Justice Stephen Breyer!

I didn't realize FR was around that far back.

I'm bothered by people who take a bad situation and make it worse.

Unless they're politicians, particularly those surnamed Bush, then they appear to get a pass.

In the '92 General Election, the people you are so proud of took a bad situation and made it worse. Millions of voters did far worse damage to our country than one man named Bush did and you can't hide from that fact and you can't mask it behind words like disaffected, accountable, ideology or anything else.

I've never said I was proud of any of them, I simply said that I didn't blame them for not voting for a President in whom they'd lost confidence. President Bush 41 is to blame for his failure to retain their votes.

Politicians are accountable to their voters.

Only if they fear losing their votes. There is otherwise zero accountability, because there is no price to be paid for poor performance.

Democrat politicians are very accountable to there voters.

Not to Blacks, their most loyal constituency, because the Democrats can take them for granted. The Dems can continue to pursue policies that are destructive to Blacks with impunity, because they believe they have nowhere else to go. The Dems count on that.

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

Perhaps we should let the governing document of a Communist nation decide what to do with you, "Justice" Breyer. Or how about making the impeachment rules just a little more flexible?

P.S. If Breyer had put that spoken sentence in writing, my English grammar teacher of bygone days would've written awkward in the margin. :-)

[sargon]

Did you read the majority opinion in the Lawrence case where the idiots were citing European cases?

They should not even be referenced, whatever the ultimate decision was. Combine this with the comments in the article (read it again), and it certainly looks like a prima facie case of a Supreme Court justice stating clearly that the Constitution is not pre-eminent.

Such "opinions" on the part of a Supreme Court Justice(s) is/are impeachable offenses, at least inasmuch as the legal record is concerned.

Boym the more I read of his and O'Connors globalist tripe, the more I think they should BOTH retire or be impeached.

It's infuriating, and, let's be honest:

It's the sort of Tyrannical, Socialist thinking that will eventually lead this country to a new civil or revolutionary War. That will be the legacy of these Globalist Traitors!

[Semi Civil Servant]

Can justices be removed from the bench?

I believe the biggest error the framers made was to give federal justices lifetime positions. It has given dangerous men like Breyer a chance to destroy this country from within.

There is NO WAY a man with this belief system should be judging anything more important than apple pies at the county fair.

[jwalsh07]

I've read this a couple of times now, and I've yet to find the part where he says the USC should be subservient to international agreements. Where is that again?<

The cites from the majority in Lawrence vs Texas have been posted several times on this thread alone. The majority actually cited specific cases of Eurotrash law as partial justification for their decision.

Breyer affirms above that it is his duty to fit the Constitution into international conventions.

Now, be an ideologue if you must but stop pretendting that the majority decision in Lawrence is Constitutionally sound and did not reflect the mores of the Europeans and Mary Robinson becuase it makes you look kinda dim.

Correction 42 appointed Breyer. I heard Bush the Elder appointed him but with an exhaustive search affirmed Clinton was the appointer as you said.
