Activist
judges are the enemy of traditional values in
this country and we need to use the
constitutional process to remedy the problem. If
it happened in California (and it did), it can
happen anywhere.
Americans need to defend the sanctity of marriage
against activist judges who are hell-bent on
forcing their arbitrary will by court order
without regard for the will of the people and
their elected representatives. It is clear that
it's not enough to press forward with the task of
confirming nominees who will respect the
Constitution; we must also deal with the problem
of the activist judges who continue their
mischief under the shield of life tenure.
There is the threat to the traditional definition
of marriage and other institutions that are
precious to Americans, such as the Pledge of
Allegiance and the Ten Commandments.
The
federal judiciary is still peopled with
Clinton-appointed, Carter-appointed and even
LBJ-appointed activist judges who are trying to
abolish those sacred practices, and Congress has
the duty to use the constitutional process (such
as set forth in Article III) to terminate their
mischief.
The enormous and brazen damage that activist
judges have inflicted on America is outrageous.
The judicial oligarchy is not dictating virtue
but enforcing a new ideology that is brazen
lifestyle socialism.
The courts are now dominated by faux
intellectuals of the left who, unable to persuade
the people or the legislatures the verdict of the
ballot box by engaging in politics masquerading
as law.
We are increasingly governed not by law or
elected representatives, but by unelected,
unrepresentative, unaccountable committees of
lawyers applying no law other than their own
will.
America has suffered a "coup d'etat"
from the men and women in black robes that have
changed us from the rule of law to the rule of
judges.
The court is busy designing a Constitution for a
country Americans do not recognize.
Virulent judicial activism has overturned
constitutional law in so many areas. For example,
the suffocating vulgarity of popular culture is
in large measure the work of the court because it
repeatedly defeated the people's attempt to
contain and minimize it.
The core value of the First Amendment's speech
clause is the protection of political speech and,
as late as 1942, a unanimous Supreme court ruled
that prohibiting the obscene, the profane, and
insulting words was never thought to raise any
constitutional problem because those are not
political speech. But now the court limits
political speech in campaigns, while using the
First Amendment to elevate pornography and other
assaults on decency.
Activist judges are so thoroughly secularized and
anti-God, that they not only reject personal
belief but maintain an active hostility to
religion and religious institutions. The Supreme
Court has almost succeeded in establishing a new
religion...secular humanism.
The court now bristles with hostility to all
things religious in public life. Under recent
First Amendment decisions, nude dancing before
football games would be a more acceptable form of
expression than prayer.
The activist judges see their mission, not as
upholding our Constitution, but as a redefining
judge to coerce new behaviors on what they
consider a barbarian majority motivated by
bigotry, racism, sexism, xenophobia, irrational
sexual morality, and the like.
It's time for the American people to notify their
members of Congress that it is their mission to
restore self-government under the U.S.
Constitution and save self-government from the
rule of judges.
