“I dont knew if this country is even worth trying to save.”
One way we can start saving it is for a state governor to simply refuse a federal court ruling based on the 10th Amendment. Simply state there is nothing in the enumerated powers in the Constitution giving the federal courts jurisdiction over a purely state matter. Any power the court claims is simply a usurpation of power and not within the scope of the federal judiciary’s authority as provided for the in the Constitution.
You do not win a war by accepting defeat in a battle where right is on your side. Of course, if a governor took such a step the state legislature, the state’s congressional delegation, and the people of the state would have to stand with him or her and be willing to hold steadfast in the firestorm that would ensue. In addition the governor would have to be prepared to be arrested and imprisoned by the federal authorities.
The tyranny of the Judicial and Executive branches cannot be stopped at the voting box. Patriots are going to have to peacefully refuse to obey the tyrants. Ghandi and Martin Luther King showed that it is possible to win with peaceful resistance if the victims of oppression are willing to suffer along the way.
Furthermore Article III, Section I of the Constitution states that “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” Congress, as creator of the lower federal courts can set limits on the jurisdiction of the lower federal courts. Congress could easily reign in judicial tyranny by passing a law simply stating the lower federal courts have no power over state courts and it is the consensus of the members of Congress the Constitution gives the Supreme Court no jurisdiction over state courts.
I can think of a governor who would be willign, and all you folks here do is beat up on him.
