Thank you for your comments. All lovers of liberty must catch the moment to rediscover and spread by every means available the essential ideas of liberty so well understood by the founding generation.

There are encouraging signs, but the "enemies of freedom" have worked like termites to undermine our foundations, and unless the foundations are restored, the light of liberty could be extinguished for a time. Hopefully, the same Divine Providence so revered by America's Founders, will aid in a re-establishment of "self-government" under "the People's" Constitution.

For your list:

My favorite a Justice of the 19th Century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Johnson_Field

He needs to be rehabilitated from the savaging of the progressives and his ideas championed in our law schools.

When the Constitution fell away: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1940/2/2/the-revolution-of-1937-pappropriate-but/

Roosevelt had threatened to pack the Court and then regularly excoriated the media named “Four Horsemen”, while praising the media named “Three Musketeers”. The Court, terrified after being vilified in the press and public, caved to Roosevelt.

Thanks. That Johnson was quite a character.

Roosevelt got away with abusing the court; Hussein will not, at least I hope not.

Fields had it right on property and liberty. We need to get Obama out so that the next appointment to the Court will be from the right in the vein of Thomas if I have any influence.
