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

WorldNetDaily ^ | July 7, 2003

[AAABEST]

I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.''

Oh, it's my fault that these Justices are out of control.

You are a joke.

[Hostage]

I am saving this one. It is unbelievable to see this in public print; these justices are so arrogant as to believe the U.S. Constitution is trending towards irrelevancy in a world more dangerous than at any other time in history.

They need to be spanked, bigtime.

Not often that one sees "vis a vis" and "cripes" in the same post. :-)

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).

Certainly he did unless the United Kingdom, Cyprus and Ireland are the 51, 52 and 53 states.

He also cited Mary Robinsons amicus brief. Did Burger?

Thanks, the vis a vis comes from my pal Torie, the Cripes is a cleanup of my New York upbringing. LOL

Its the same old crap from Breyer and his twin Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg. Could someone tell me WHY the Republicans didn't filibuster these two world federalist liberals appointed by clinton? -- instead I remember even conservatives in the Senate falling over each other in praising them.

I could just spit.

[judicial meanz]

I think its high time we clean that snake pit out. Any federal official can be impeached from office. Breyer seems to feel the COnstitution is an antiquated document. This is an excerpted text from a 1957 Supreme Court Impeachment attempt: Whereas, the Constitution provides in Article I and repeatedly elsewhere in plain, simple words that all legislative powers granted to the United States are vested in the Congress of the United States; and Whereas, a republic is "a government of laws and not of men" in which all laws are established by the people themselves, either by immemorial customs or by their own elected representatives in legislative assemblies established for such purpose; yet, nevertheless, laws established by immemorial customs, (or common law) were not adjusted to and hence were not adopted by the Constitution for the Union, and hence the federal judiciary was given no jurisdiction of such laws. Thus "judicial power" was "extended" by Article III from nothing in the Articles of Confederation to "cases," in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their "authority" in Article III. "Judicial power" was further "extended" in Article III so as to permit the federal judiciary to try "cases and controversies" depending upon the laws of nations and of states, in certain clearly defined and specified instances; and, Whereas, Article VI of the Constitution plainly provides that nothing except the Constitution itself, laws enacted by Congress in accordance with the Constitution and treaties theretofore existing or which should thereafter be made in accordance with the Constitution, should be the "law of the land" "supreme" over the constitution and laws of the several states; and, Whereas, the usurpation of power by an officer of government is such misconduct as constitutes a misdemeanor within the meaning of Article II of the Constitution, and the promotion of the cause of and shielding adherents to communism is the giving of aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment; and Whereas, the following named Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States under the color of their offices and while purporting to exercise powers vested in them as members of the Supreme Court of the United States have unlawfully usurped the powers of the people to amend the Constitution and have exercised legislative powers vested solely in the Congress, or reserved to the states, or to the people and have given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States in the manners hereafter specified Fits quite well, doesnt it?

It's all down hill now !

You've got *that* right.

Excuses are like as... rectums. They all stink and everyone has one.

Because at the time of their appointments, there was a 200 year precedent in the Senate not to filabuster judicial nominations, that precedent was broken by Dashole in 2002.

Oh and the demos also had the majority in the Senate at the time.

They had TV before the Civil War? :)

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Can justices be removed from the bench?

Article III, Section 1: The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour...

Unfortunately, in the real world, "good behavior" is politically defined, not constitutionally defined. Breyer will never suffer consequences for his views unless We The People made it politically dangerous for Congress to ignore him. Not gonna happen, not in our lifetimes, I'm afraid.

I actually showed this to my roomates here - all of us are going into the military - and i'll tell you this - we will uphold the Constitution till death. The scary thing is - the military is becoming extremely powerful - it already is - now super weapons like those in sci fi movies are being created - which will make it extremely difficult for freedom fighters to even have a chance.

And loud mouth malcontents who refuse to look at history, usually have the biggest ones.
