Point is, those who have standing against specific legislation that is contrary to Constitutional principles should file suit. Do you not agree?

It is not clear to me where it is best to focus the scarce resources of conservatives. I am slowly coming to believe that it would make more sense to focus them on the elimination of political enemies. Anti-Constitutional judges are for the most part locked in place as long as they live. Anti-Constitutional politicians can be defeated. When the rule of law is dead, as it is rapidly becoming, what matters most is the character of the leaders. There is still some hope of influencing that variable.

That's my point. Focus our resources on the Courts.

"Anti-Constitutional judges are for the most part locked in place as long as they live. Anti-Constitutional politicians can be defeated."

Granted, but strong viable lawsuits IS an alternative. The USSC may decide against our position, but I now believe that is the last recourse, short of armed rebellion to protect our Republic. The political process is corrupt and beyond redemption. To fight the enroaching socialism in the courts may be our last chance.

That is just the point I'm trying to make. "Anti-Constitutional politicians" are so many and the political machinery is against us now. And while I understand there are many liberal judges out there, the USSC still has SOME semblance of rationality. We take our case all the way to them.

Look, our politicians are about themselves. Our current Federal politicians are about socialism. Our President-Elect is the same. So what is the last bastion of redress? I see it as the United States Supreme Court. They sometimes make rulings we don't like, but they did just re-affirmed the right to gun ownership to protect ourselves. That was huge.

So if the in-coming Executive Branch is full of socialists, and the Congress has what's looking like filibuster-proof power, what is left to keep us from becoming a Europeon type socialist government? The Judicial Branch.

We The People, question/sue every socialist legislation passed by Congress. With enough attempts, if nothing else, Congress just may back down. If not, we tie up their un-Constitutional crap in the courts for years. My god, man, the ACLU and the environmental Nazis have been doing it for decades. Why can't we?

It will just take money, lot's of money. And as someone mentioned to me the other night, it is money taken away from Republican efforts. Personally, I don't give one shit about Republicans anymore. They had their chance and put up old geezers who couldn't compete. Fuck the Republican party.

Let's think about lawsuits to allow us to drill and use or own resources. Let's think about lawsuits that deal with the financial meltdown caused by liberal feel-good sub-prime mortgages brought on by the idiots who refuse to regulate the system (think Waxman and others). Let's look at every single thing the Liberal/socialists are doing to destroy our Republic from within and sue each and every one. Yes, I know that fedgov individuals are immune to lawsuits, but legislation is not immune.

What choice do we have? What? RahRah for the next Republican candidate? Do you want to wait that long, as Obamai turns us into a socialist nation?

I am telling you and anyone reading this that this is our last chance. The Republic is dying. With the Fedgov taking over the financial systems and so much else...where do we go?

We have (3) options:
Accept the coming socialism and the fall of the US as a world power;
Fight everything in the courts on Constitutional principles;
Revolution (not pretty)

I'm open to other options, but can't envision them.
