The Founding Fathers created a Constituion with a system of checks and balances.

We do not have three independent branches of government, we have three interdependent branches of government. It was never the intent of the Founders for a rogue judiciary to have no means of correction other than itself. Therefore, they gave the Legislative Branch, the elected representatives of the people, the power of Impeachment.

Today Judges Goodwin and Reinhardt met the standard of Impeachment with their unconstitutional decision on the First Amendment as applied to the Pledge of Allegiance. They committed "high crimes and misdemeanors." Congress now has a duty to act to reign in the judicial activism these power-grabbing judges represent.

The people are outraged. The Politicians are outraged. The President is outraged.

These judges must be Impeached.

If not now, when?

Impeach Senator Jim Jeffords too, he lied to the voters to get into power as a Republican and then changed sides. This gave the demacrooks in the Senate the power to stop all Bush judicial appointees. As a result we have 80 year old senile judges making these kinds of decisions. Barbara Boxer and Diana Feinstein must be really happy with what they have put on this court.

[Schatze]

You know it's bad when even tiny Tommy Daschle finds the decision "insane." Where do I sign to get these immoral creeps impeached?

[muawiyah]

To be charitable, the two judges who voted for this offensive decision have been around a long time and are probably suffering from Alzheimers or other dementia.

As a consequence, their "behavior" is no longer "good". Clearly impeachment is called for if they refuse to step down! Dr. Michael A. Newdow seems to have moved around the country to find a place where his suit would be welcomed. His problem isn't dementia - .......

??.....What states are included within the 9th...???

The Federalist #81: "There never can be danger that the judges, by a series of deliberate usurpations on the authority of the legislature, would hazard the united resentment of the body entrusted with it, while this body is possessed of the means of punishing their presumption by degrading them from their stations"

Conversely... If their 'presumption' goes ever unpunished- it will never stop.

[4America]

This has gone overboard. 9th Circuit needs to go.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Since judges are acting and assuming the role of legislators it is dangerous to give them life appointments, now if they are willing to limit themselves to the role of judges then life appointments make sense.

9th Circuit Court Impeachment PING!!!!

[Demidog]

The decision was sound. The Pledge of allegiance was not changed to include "under God" until 1954. The pledge itself was crafted by a nationalist/socialist by the name of Francis Bellamy. There is no constitutional provision which would allow anyone to require its recital and plenty to suggest that this shouldn't be happening in our schools.

Idea for FReeper Activism:

Independence Day is coming. In my area, and I'm sure in many other areas, the fireworks display includes some sort of pre-fireworks programs. In my town, we have the 36th Army Band play a brief concert, have a few fireworks and cannons go off during the 'Overture of 1812' and then we have someone sing the National Anthem right before the fireworks begin.

The program has never included a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance before. In light of the disgusting, anti-American decision by the 9th and in my patriotic desire to resist tyranny, I called the director of the fireworks display and suggested he add the Pledge to the program. He loved the idea and the reason behind it! So, in my town thousands of people are going to celebrate their independence on Independence Day by asserting it and reciting the Pledge on city property at a city-sponsored event. You can rest assured that we will emphasize the "under God" portion of the Pledge.

Independence day is fast approaching. Many FReepers plan on attending various 4th of July events to include fireworks displays, etc. Get on the phone now and do as I did and get the full Pledge of Allegiance to be recited at the events in your area.

Wonder if the buffoons at the 9th Circuit have ever heard of this guy:

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor." - George Washington, 1st President of the United States.

That is right. The time has come to take bold action ourselves. Our "so-called" leaders such as Trent Lott has failed to lead. It is time for us to show the right way!

Before it's too late.

God Save America! (please)

1.Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.

2.A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

3.The life or condition of a person in a religious order.

4.A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

5.A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

The Democratic National Party is a religion.

Its spiritual members use the government to impose government mandated morality through the "charitable" redistribution of wealth from those that can work to those that cannot.

The Democratic party is un constitutional and needs to be separated from government activities.

Impeach and boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[neutrino]

These judges must be Impeached.

Great idea!

[HiTech RedNeck]

A doofus ruling like this does not a high crime or misdemeanor make. However it does strongly imply that we need term limits and/or other means to get doofus Federal judges (or rulings) out of the picture. I like Robert Bork's proposal of a Constitutional amendment to permit the Congress to nullify any court decision by a supermajority vote of both the House and the Senate.

[janetgreen]

BUMP. Throw the bums out!

[exodus]

I guess our money is un-Constitutional under that ruling, too.
