What Congress Giveth, Congress Can Taketh Away

But your statement is an insinuation that even though they're republican they are as dirty as the democrats - and I'll fight anybody anyday anywhere about the fallacy of that statement.

[nickcarraway]

Did you get a court order to post this? How dare you question our judicial overlords? You will be reported for committing a thought crime.

[CyberAnt]

It wasn't sarcasm.

[Xenalyte]

I'm not insinuating that the Bible is your only reading material any more than you insinuated that I never read it.

[CyberAnt]

OH GOOD ! I needed some excitement in my life!!!

If I'm lucky maybe I'll wind up in Greer's court (except that I live in CA.

[Xenalyte]

No, it's not an insinuation. It's an outright statement of fact that both parties have self-serving members.

[Xenalyte]

Um, yes, it was. Trust me. I wrote it. I know.

[CzarNicky]

The federal courts were to try cases between the states and between the federal govt and the states. The leviathan they have become is not a part of their constitutional mandate.

[CyberAnt]

I never insinuated anything of the kind - you chose to be insulted - which tells me maybe it bothered you that I said, "people who read the Bible".

[CyberAnt]

Well .. I'm glad you think your opinion is so important.

[Xenalyte]

WTF is wrong with you? I never said my opinion was important either. It's just that.

Why are you giving me so much credence?

[nickcarraway]

If I'm lucky maybe I'll wind up in Greer's court (except that I live in CA.)

Well, if he can issue orders to every police officer in Florida, why not one in California?

What branch of our government is empowered with deciding the Constitutionality of a law?

[lonevoice]

Congress has no power to control Judge Greer. He is not a federal judge. All they can do is limit federal courts, not state courts.

True that. While I agree the federal judiciary needs to be reined in, even if there were no federal judiciary it wouldn't have made a difference in the Schindler/Shiavo litigation. An out of control state judge was the sole finder of fact and the Schindlers appeals to the USSC were all denied. Result would've been the same.

[ConservativeGadfly]

the supreme court. as created by the constitution.

the lower courts -- every federal court except for the supreme court was created by CONGRESS.

every constitutional question of law is supposed to be decided by the supreme court. that does not include emanating or penumbras. read article III. it really is quite limiting. if only congress would read it too.

[CzarNicky]

Congress

[KC_Conspirator]

I think the court's wilingness to flout the rule of law and rule along liberal ideological lines in the Schiavo case will galvanize the GOP to finally get serious about the judiciary.

[ConservativeGadfly]

very true. but the point was that congress had every right to go in and deal with the question of whether or not terri's case could be heard in federal court. and THAT was the point. what the lawyers did with that opportunity was another question entirely.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. since courts are trying to use international law - he might be able to make it happen .. after all there is no CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTIONAL LAW in effect in this state.

[CyberAnt]

The foul language is way out of line.

Our conversation is over because I refuse to discuss anything with anyone who spews that kind of language at me. And .. if you continue - I will report you - count on it.
