"Breyer urged lawyers to help educate people about court responsibility to be an independent decision-maker."

The "Court" is NOT "independent". It is "fed" by its "minions" that it adjudicates for and against. It is also restricted by the constitution of the U.S. of A. with its attendent amendments. Or, at least used to and should be. Nowhere in the constitution is the "Court" given "independence". Impeach the politically appointed bureaucratic bums in black dresses who say, "The court is independent." Peace and love, George.

{1} "The Heritage Area cannot by law seize or condemn any private land. It also cannot take or control already public land."
-----------------------------

{2} "No National Heritage Area has anything to do with the United Nations."
=====================================

XRdsRev, {1} As it happens, now the "Heritage Area CAN condemn private property according to the Kelo Supreme Court Decision. A few years ago, United nations officials at least "helped" to prevent a mining company from mining NEAR a Colorada Park that is designated a United Nations "Heritage Area." The U.S. of A. paid the mining company millions for the property and rights for future earnings. The mine was in the "Buffer Zone" that had just been designated by the U.N.

{2} Perhaps someone can come up with the picture of the United Nations "Heritage Area" sign posted at the intrance to the Smokey Mountains National Park.

Seeing as how you work for this outfit, you are either woefully misinformed, or VERY malinformed about the work you are doing, or lieing through your collective teeth {keyboard}. I still suggest a visit to Eco_Logic on the VERY slim chance you don't know. Researching The United Nations "Agenda 21" will most likely describe the exact way your organization "Partners" with governments at all levels to gain control of all property, if not the property itself. Of course, your outfits "Public Private Partnership" is "better" than the "Public Private Partnerships" between money making business and governments. The "Kelo" decision undoubtedly outrages you and your outfit just as it does most of us. Peace and love, George.

"(New Jersey has more horses per square mile than any other U.S. state.)"

XRR, And I would guess at least three times that many horses hindquarters orifices. Peace and love, George.

You might visit Eco-Logic for very informative information. And, Many of our national parks are "United nations heritage areas."
"Hysterical" LOL

"A handful of whimsical commissars settling the rights of 300 million citizens is not republican government."

Guys, Actually, it IS "Plato's Republic" with "Philosopher Kings" writ large. But, "higher tax revenue" is NOT "in the public's best interest". Only in BIG Government's best interest. Peace and love, George.

Guys. We are officially a third world country ruled by a few politically appointed bureaucrats in favor of their friends. Zimbabwe comes to mind. Impeachment is the only answer. Peace and love, George.

TK, A few years ago, a mining company was going to open a mine outside of Yellowstone, {If I remember right}, and A group from the U.N. complained that the mine was within "the buffer" zone they had recently outlines around the park. The company wasn't able to open the mine, and the U.S. government paid the company for the property, and all their expenditures getting the mine approval. Yellowstone is a U.N. "Biosphere" area. The U.N. spokesman when asked, "Who is in charge of the park?", answered, {in a very imperious tone I understand} "The United Nations". This "interferrence" is for real. Peace and love, George.

TK, Do a search on "Agenda 21". Also, the source site also has quite a few confirming articles. And, you might do a search for "U.N. Biosphere Program". Their maps and objectives WILL impress even you. The "coincidences" just ain't. Peace and love, George.

The DMG operates under the following Principles:

• Participation in the DMG does not diminish an agency's autonomy or authority to conduct/accomplish their mission.

• Agencies participating in the DMG will work to create opportunities and develop partnerships to effectively and efficiently manage resources.

• Participating agencies recognize the diverse uses of the California deserts and their responsibility to the American people for being good stewards of desert resources.

• Participants in the DMG agree to make decisions by consensus. Consensus for the DMG is defined to mean a proposed solution or decision that participants can support or live with.

• Participating agencies recognize their responsibility to keep the public informed and provide opportunities for comment on DMG activities and initiatives.

• DMG activities will be consistent with and/or designed to implement agency resource management plans (i.e., National Park Service General Management Plans; Bureau of Land Management Resource Management Plans; Department of Defense Integrated Natural Resource Plans).
=====================================

Guys, The above is from the Desert Managers Group's Website. The "consensus" of "participants" does NOT include input by landowners. Only their managers. "Cosensus" IS a dirty word used by socialists. Peace and love, George.

All, Federal land thieves at it again under the color and full power {that's guns} of godgov. Peace and love, George.

"It's damn serious buisness."

R, INDEED it IS! We NEED to make sure our children know about this abomination. Peace and love, George.

"People can argue all day over that decision, but everyone agrees that it changed The Constitution without going through the amendment process."

N, If I'm right, the Marbury case forced one Bureaucrat to do his job, as defined in his job description, and appoint another bureaucrat named by the President. Nothing more. It was the incredibly stupid {unjustified by any previous documentation in or out of the Constitution} statement by the incredibly brilliant Marshall that, {Paraphrased} "The Supreme Court is the only "interpreter" of the U.S. Constitution.", that has been used by power hungry lawyers in robes to justify the assault on the Constitution in the name of "Judicial Freedom" that only exists in the mind. But, These same lawyers have TAUGHT in the most high learning institutions that this is so. And, it just ain't. By the way, wasn't some judge named Hastings impeached, and later became a member of Congress? {Louisana or some such?} Anyway, we DO need some kind of "fixing". Peace and love, George.

"and what's wrong with judicial term limits?"

N, I like the idea of term limits. But, where do you see that "the people" can change the Constitution? I only see the amendment process. And, exzctly what changes are you suggesting? Peace and love, George.

"And when has that ever worked against a Supremme Court judge? Give me one example."

N, Congress could begin TODAY!. Peace and love, George.

"Barring term limits what else can check and balance the courts?"

N, The Constitution CALLS for impeachment. Peace and love, George.

NCL, Sorry. My mistake. Just another brilliant judge. Peace and love, George.

NCL, See HERE. Peace and love, George.

We need to get rid of it because Marbury has corrupted and upset our constitutional system of checks and balances by giving unelected judges the power to make laws without any means of popular recourse.

gsgop, I don't think{?} Marbury did {or could do} that. Only those most corrupt who taught "the gospel" of "case law" that Mabury "set the precedent, and therefore law". We need judicial review to prevent abuses by the Administration and Legislative branches. But only as envisioned by our constitution. NOT by the whims of politically appointed bureaucrats we call judges. Peace and love, George.

"This isn't about 2006 or 2008 or figuring how all the cards might fall right in this or that cycle," he said. "It's about creating the building blocks of progressive reform, one step at a time, one lawyer at a time, one new idea at a time, building networks of like-minded individuals who create enduring change. That's stuff that doesn't show results in a week or a month; but it endures."

Guys, This is to be accomplished through that most dirtiest{redundant.I know}of words, "consensus", and by the "compromising" of parties in "dispute" through rules and regulations given the color and full force {that's guns} of law by politically appointed bureaucrats {in judicial chambers without record of proceedings} we call judges {of the most high order we call lawyers. Just ask 'em.} in "consent Decrees". And, all without legitimacy. Peace and love, George.
