Once it has become apparent that the rule of law no longer applies to the common man; once the application of existing law has become arbitrary and outcomes subject to the amount of money one can apply; once laws are made and applied in such a way that it becomes virtually impossible to exist without violating them - the party’s over.
Agreed. So now that the party’s over, what next?
What’s next? Prepare to sell your life dearly, unless you’re prepared to repeat one of recent history’s horrible lessons.
Reading “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy” and it is a great book about the takeover of the churches by Hitler. You control the ideas and you can control the people. Hitler had total control over the press and Goebbels who would lie constantly in the press. They created all allowed “perceptions” and would “kill” the traitors—who were defined as anyone who would disagree with the State.
The evil SS did all the killing so the “moral” people in the regular military never saw the total depravity of the Nazis....but they heard the rumors and there were attempts to kill Hitler, but they knew it was much harder to get rid of all the SS and SA—for they would take over if Hitler was killed.
The depravity and brutality of the SS and SA can never be comprehended by good people. Even the depravity toward little children.
Solution? Cicero said as he saw the Republic of Rome ending—that the only way to survive was to be a nation of Rule of Law. We have to pronounce laws which are “obnoxious” to our Constitutional principles, “Null and Void”. All judges have the power to do this (John Marshall)—in fact, they have a DUTY to do it by their very oaths.
We the people need to force those judges who pass arbitrary laws to be held accountable-—all of them at every level. They need to be challenged and impeached if they do not use “Right Reason according to Nature” which is the definition of Just Law.
John Austin’s philosophy is taught in the Law schools of America and it teaches irrational thinking (is good) and that laws can be “arbitrary”.
It is a lie. Arbitrary Laws are always unjust laws—because they treat some people as “special” and others as less so and they give power to groups or persons over others. Rational people can easily see the flawed thinking in a government which PROMISES equal “justice” for all.
We need to impeach Sotomeyer and Kagan and Ginsberg-—they have stated things which let us know they have not lived up to their sacred obligation to uphold the Supreme Law of the Land-—and made rulings antithetical to it.
It can NOT be allowed in a Just system. You can never have “Justices” who do not believe in “Just Law”. It is irrational==postmodernist non thinking.
