“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” C. S. Lewis


1973 United States Supreme Court

Note that the only two who voted against the majority in Roe v Wade (against MURDERING babies) are on the right side of the photo. Rehnquist standing and White seated. Now isn’t that interesting….Hmmmm………

Yet what else but arrogance can you call it when six unelected
 justices presume to tell us that moral intuitions central to Western
 culture and law for centuries no longer count?


Here, let another set of justices help you out with that.

The Georgia Supreme Court noted:

The individual's right to freely exercise his or her liberty is not dependent upon whether the majority believes such exercise to be moral, dishonorable, or wrong. Simply because something is beyond the pale of "majoritarian morality" does not place it beyond the scope of constitutional protection. To allow the moral indignation of a majority (or, even worse, a loud and/or radical minority) to justify criminalizing private consensual conduct would be a strike against freedoms paid for and preserved by our forefathers.

General agreement. But this seemed out of place:

when six unelected justices

Sorry, but election is not a cure-all for all ailments. If it were, we'd have a pure democracy ("The People..." "lured by the loudest throat" -- Kipling).

"If the people of the United States don't want same-sex marriage imposed on them by their arrogant courts ... it will require amending the Constitution."

Somehow, given a judiciary prone to see "rights" in the "shadows and penumbras" of the Constitution (and such peculiar rights too -- a right of privacy that protects abortion but not governmental and corporate collection and dissemination of personal information, for example), and which seems not to see even those rights explicitly stated in the Bill of Rights... somehow amending the Constitution seems like a totally inadequate, futile measure.

They have recalled a California Governor, we can call for impeachment for Supreme Court Justices. The law is there we must have the guts to use it. Any Judge that legislates from the bench and thworts the will of the Poeple should and must be impeached. It's the only course the People have. Do it, and do it often!
