Amen JR amen,
It is actually a shame that we have to go that route.
In this war, we must, despite our best intentions.
The Courts are not supposed to make Law.
The Congress was designed for that purpose of making laws. Unfortunately, the professional Politicians have altered that paradigm.
The Courts make the laws of significance and the Politicians take polls.
I am from Boston, and I saw what the Federal Courts did to the Boston Public Schools. They ruined them! The thing about that which always pissed me off is the incredible hypocrisy of the entire affair.
Most people are not from Boston so then the geography of the area is a mystery. Radical Liberals from left wing conclaves supported the school bussing program.
Most of the Liberals lived in Cities and Towns that were so close to the Boston City limits and were impervious to the Federal Court edicts.
The net result is that the Schools were wrecked by Political BS!
The Federal Government has no business whatsoever being involved in local schools.
I know a lot of people. (I am an old man.) I do not know one single person who sends their children to Boston Public Schools. I attended BPS,myself.
They were cool.
It is not like that anymore. The Unions and Politicians and Courts have destroyed those schools.
It is shameless. Anyhow, don't mind me. I like to rant.
FR.com is a good place for that!
I agree wholeheartedly. It shouldn't have come to this, however, that Judges are being allowed to legislate from the Bench. Article III, Sections 1 and 2 of the United States Constitution clearly provide balancing measures for an out-of-control judiciary, namely, "The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour," and are subject to "such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."
Congress ought not to have gone to the steps of the Capital to recite the Pledge of Allegiance with the outlawed words "under God," when the Ninth Circuit suddenly found them in the Pledge and suddenly found them unconstitutional, but ought to have called a special session right then and there to oust those leftist fools on the Ninth Circuit Court. The same ought to have been done by the Republican-majority House voted into the Vermont legislature after the 2000 election, because of the VT Supreme Court's DEMAND that our legislature make laws to enable sodomites to marry. Those Justices who found the non-existent "Right to Privacy" in Roe v. Wade out to have been canned, too.
If Congress had been policing the Judiciary as they are required by the Constitution to do we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. I submit that we don't have to wait the years (and perhaps decades) it will take to replace dying and retiring leftist-agenda judges with Conservative ones. Why won't Congress call their 'behaviour' exactly what it is - diametrically opposed to 'good,' and do their duty by the American people as clearly written in the Constitution, which they are sworn to uphold?
