I like your column and ideas.
But how do we get Congress to move?

I've suggested citizens make a habit of chanting at appearances by congressmem of all stripes something like "Bring - Back - God / Bring - Back - God / ..." until they get the message.

I've also recognized the difficulty given the behavior of the political party leadership in recent years. The Michigan Affirmative Action ruling by SCOTUS was even worse than this confrontation, yet how come there wasn't a groundswell of congressional activity to slap SCOTUS over its invoking "compelling state interests" (CSI) to overrule the very constitution they are sworn to uphold?

Here's how I see that stacking up.

As to why Congress hasn't mounted a challenge you need look no further than the Leftist/Statist axis I dubbed in April 2000, RepublicRats™.

The leadership of the GOP, the party that proclaims itself our protector against judicial activism, has marginalized the conservative element within the GOP who really are our statwarts. If there are conservatives actively seeking to overturn the CSI outrage of the last SCOTUS session, they are getting no press coverage. They are not on the radar screen. They have been marginalized.

But along comes Chief Justice Moore has risked his considerable position to bring the conservative cause out of the corner and onto the front page. The media and the rest of the Establishment couldn't just ignore him. He exposed for us the ACLU flimflam of justice while he still could and so we could react.

There are many who say CJ Moore has violated the rule of law. I ask, what law?
A ruling made concrete by a SCOTUS that chose to ignore his case?
A SCOTUS ruling that attempted to marginalize the issue he raised? Just go way they say?
The same SCOTUS which stands in open contempt of the very constitution upon which this questionable decision rests?

SCOTUS is said to be setting down the law by rubber stamping the questionable ruling. That makes it an undemocratic law. A law of judicial fiat. An autocratic law passed by 5 out of 9 little robes. Robes who think they are accountable to nobody, not even God. Their aim, by ignoring his case, was to marginalize CJ Moore like the rest of the Establishment have been doing to other good conservatives. One law, among many, for which the SCOTUS could be slapped but for the RepublicRats™ in leadership in Congress.

Well, who that is of right mind advocates violating laws as a matter of course? Yet sometimes civil disobedience is necessary. Used judiciously, not overused, it makes a splash that is usually long overdue. Too bad the media is on the side of Leviathan in this one Congressman BB.

Well, God bless Chief Justice Moore.
God bless those who answer the call to battle made aloud by his case and strengthened by his courage.
May this nation continue to be blessed by men of conscience who are willing to sacrifice their position for the sake of our great nation.

My question too.....how do we get ACTION? I often call and email Senators and Congressmen. Most recently, I called about the filibusters of the Pres judicial nominees and Sen Orin Hatch's Amendment to allow a naturalized citizen, who has lived in the U.S. for 20 yrs, become President. The person in Hatch's office listened and explained why, he believed, a true 24x7 filibuster is not necessarily in the best interest of Republicans. But, calls to the RNC and Sen. Frist's office were answered by "dead people" who just gave lip service. VERY FRUSTRATING. Even literature,asking for money, from the various Republicans no longer talk about the judicial nominees. This is too important an issue to ignore. What ACTIONS can we, the people, take to help get the Senate to vote on these judges? Why doesn't the RNC coordinate an effort to have all State and Fed Parties conduct a MASSIVE grass roots campaign to contact all Senators demanding a vote? Individual calls or emails are ignored. What can we do??
