The main assumption of the article’s author Selwyn Duke is contained in his following quote: “ - - - He knows that he and the other Black Robes enjoy their power at the pleasure of the executive branch. “

Fight back that's how. Fight back dammit. Fight fire with fire if necessary. But never give in to these miscreants. Never.
Someone used The Godfather analogy earlier. I'll take it one further. Remember what Michael Corleone did to Tessio, Barzini, Moe Greene and Tattaglia? He never forgot who was behind the hit on his father and he paid them all back. And Roth too.
You give in to this kind of strong arming, they own you.
We are better than him and any of these tyrants on the left... in both parties. We will defeat them... we must defeat them...
Are you serious???? I have seen some crazy things in my life but you are not even close. We are getting ready to elect the worst Republican, by the name of Romney, in history and you are saying we can beat these tyrants of the left when we are inviting them right in....Man that is crazy.

Horsecrap.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court put his hand on the Bible and Swore to God to uphold the Constitution.
Then he changed his mind and decided to put other interests ahead of those he swore to uphold.
I don’t give a rat’s ass what his motives were.
