A lot of people shed their blood and lost their lives on the battlelines so that we could a majority rule country. So that we could have our own set of laws different from foriegn goverments. So that people like myself would have the chance to enjoy the freedoms we enjoy today.
The Founding Fathers made it ver clear that they wanted the US Constitution to be the Supreme law of the land, not the laws of some other third world dicto. they made it very clear that the Constitution means what it says, NOT what some liberal, progressive or moderate want to think it says.
Our nation is a constitutional Republic. That means the majority rules whether anyone likes it or not. To call it a tyranny of the majority is stupid, idiotic and foolish and ignores the main basis for why our nation exists today as it is.
What is being addressed here are judges who are contuining to missuse and abuse their powers to impose their own ideas of public policy on the rest of us.The latest example was the law in California which was passed by voters on same-sex marriage which was sturck down by a judge and yes, I know this was a judge appointed by Pete Wilson but this clearly has nothing to do with party or political affiliation. This has to do with out of control judicial activists imposing their will on the rest of us instead of going by the Constitution like they're supposed to.
And that is why Jim Robinson was making a suggestion for all of us to March on the Supreme Court in Washington. I think it's a great idea. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it but I'd be glad to bump and promote it.
Bottom line, it's time to reing in these judicial activists and return to having the US Constitution be the source of law here in America instead of foriegn dicta being imposed on us.
Rush is right on this one. Regards.....
bttt!
Why are you ignoring the "constitutional" part of your remark?
The constitution is the supreme document that checks "majority rule."
Why do you think that the Congress has only 17 enumerated powers?
Why do you think that the Bill of Rights is generously sprinkled with phrases such as "shall not,...no law...without...deny...disparage...retained?"
The founding fathers abhored majority rule because history had shown that it self-destructs.
