[Rush] Most Powerful Man on Earth Powerless Against Rogue Courts and Activist Judges

Rush Is Right ^ | 2/25/04 | Rush

[tpaine]

The president of the United States, the most powerful man in the world we assume. We think. Do you know why we have to do this, according to the president? Do you know why we need a constitutional amendment to see to it that everybody understands and knows what marriage means? Do you know why?

Why? It's not just that. It's not just some people breaking the law.

It's that we're not enforcing the law!

We've already got law. But since nobody's willing to enforce it, we've got to put another law on the books, this time in the Constitution.

The president of the United States said, We've got rogue courts and activist judges who are legislating from the bench. Something is terribly wrong.

Now, you and I all know this is nothing new, and we all know this is terribly wrong. But for the most powerful man in the world to stand up and say, There's nothing we can do about activist judges legislating from the bench and rogue courts imposing their version of law and order on society? There's nothing we can do about it, folks. Nothing we can do.

There's nothing currently in the statutes that allows us to stop this. There's nothing we can do to stop these people from doing what they're doing. Instead, we're going to have to go amend the Constitution so they can't do it in this area. Okay, let's assume that we amend the Constitution and let's say that we get this Defense of Marriage Amendment -- and I'm all for it, don't misunderstand. I just think it's a crying, damned shame that we have to go this far. Pick any other institution that you want. Pick any other tradition in this country that you want and imagine this kind of thing happening to it. I just think it is absolutely outrageous for the most powerful -- and this is not a criticism of the president. Don't misunderstand here. I realize many of you may think I'm being critical. I'm not.

I'm...I'm...I'm... I feel totally powerless today. I feel more powerless than I have ever felt in my life. We've got the president of the United States, who himself is complaining about activist judges and rogue courts. We've got the president of the United States who is claiming that they are more powerful than the Constitution, that they are more powerful than existing statute, that they are more powerful than he is.

Glad to see Rush finally seeing the light.

Top reason to vote Bush - the courts.

BUMP

What do you think of the Bush appointed judge that just 'ruled' that citizens of DC have no RKBA's?

And why hasn't Bush had charges filed against 'da judge' for clearly violating his oath of office?

[Travis McGee]

Unless something is done, sooner or later the "rule of five" (black-robed commissars) is going to run into "rule 308."

[Kryptonite]

What do you think of the Bush appointed judge that just 'ruled' that citizens of DC have no RKBA's?

Point me to that discussion, please.

[tpaine]

Yep, its very likely to happen, as long as we keep electing these 'powerless' republocrats..

ALL of them, courts, legislators & executives, -- think they are winning something with their political games of finger pointing.. No one will win when rule 308 is invoked.

[tpaine]

It was last months flap, conveniently forgotten by now. Search under DC.

[Kryptonite]

I did that search. Didn't see the discussion that supports your suggestion.

I'll see voting from the rooftops in my lifetime. Voting Bush in November should allow my children to become adults before then.

[Travis McGee]

It will be a tragedy for our nation when rule 308 is invoked. But if these black-robed commissars are not slapped back into their constitutional corner, it's coming. You just can't have a handful of unelected judges rubbing peoples faces in feces and ordering them to like it, and not end up with a social explosion.

Bump!

[tpaine]

Tell it to our elected officials..

They have the duty to 'slap em back', and aren't..
Therefore, I see the whole 'controversy' as just more political games.. ALL branches want these same socialistic 'laws' empowered & enforced.. They are all ignoring our constitution..
And will continue to do so until some brave men in a county or a state take back their constitutional rights.

[Kryptonite]

Thanks. Be assured that I'll do the assigned homework.

Yet, with each passing day, a larger part of me thinks Bush realizes where he can gain ground in the annals of history, and that his own awareness of the power of the federal judiciary is also growing.

Who you gonna vote for, Kerry?

[Travis McGee]

The longer this plays out, the more it looks like you are correct.

[Kryptonite]

They are all ignoring our constitution.. And will continue to do so until some brave men in a county or a state take back their constitutional rights.

Those brave men surely won't be voting for Kerry.

[tpaine]

Go play games with someone else.

[Kryptonite]

It's gonna happen. Do you want it to happen sooner, or later?

[Kryptonite]

Pretty revealing that you'd consider your vote this fall to be "a game".

[Travis McGee]

I don't want it to happen at all.

[Kryptonite]

I don't either, but I think voting Kerry is asking for it.
