If All Three Branches of Government Agree, Does That Make It Right?

...or Constitutional?

[LyinLibs]

[Nowhere Man]

Agreed. As one of my best friends puts it, “the law is not sacrosanct.”

[rktman]

If ya’ll can’t be trustin’ all free branches of duh gubmint den we gonna have a prolem. You likes my wighat?

When Mr. Bumble, the unhappy spouse of a domineering wife, is told in court that "...the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction", replies:

"If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, "the law is a ass - a idiot".

Exactly right....just because the Congress AND The Messiah agree it does NOT MAKE IT CONSTITUTIONAL!

This is Fascism in its plain form, and the People have been crapped on so many times, where the PLAIN LANGUAGE of the Constitution is ignored, or Ruled to allow un-Constitutional actions (by Activist/Bribed/Blackmailed/Co-erced Judges), such as Obamacare being Upheld.

We have un-Constitutional appointees (non-elected), selectively enforcing Laws, or, making Regulations that are in clear violation of the Constitutions provisions, and NO ONE challenges them on Constitutional grounds, whatsoever.

You can't even get "Standing" as a U.S. Citizen, to bring arguments to Court (unless you're a Protected Class, and are furthering Progressive Causes).

Lock 'n Load, Amerika.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

An act is either constitutional, or illegal.

[Pollster1]

In the system of checks and balances, one wold hope that one of the three branches of government would restrain the other two if any part or parts of the government violate the Constitution. As a check on all three going rogue, we have elections. As a check on a rogue government buying off 51% of voters (mob rule), we have the Second Amendment.

I hope our ruling class has enough respect for the rule of law to avoid forcing us to resort to that final defense of liberty. The tree of liberty must from time to time be watered, but I am not anxious to make that necessity any more frequent than the parasites among us demand.

[uncitizen]

Right on!

Makes me wonder how well Justice Roberts sleeps at night. Hope he enjoyed that briefcase full of cash he got from Soros...

[SoFloFreeper]

All three branches signed off on the internment of the Japanese during World War II. Did that make it legal? I mean everybody knew that was happening, the courts knew it, FDR did it, the Congress knew. Well, was it legal? Was it legal and just not right? Or was it legal? All it means is -- and I love John Bolton. I have an incredible amount of respect for John Bolton. But all three branches signing off -- this is the most massive amount of spying and data collection ever. It's happening in the midst of news stories of how this administration is openly targeting for punishment its political enemies. I'm sorry, that's not in a vacuum.

Rush nails it. Again.

I hope he will get a chance to correct his terrible error. Roberts could easily rule that ObamaCare is unconstitutional based on a different challenge, and that may make the difference between a peaceful return to the rule of law and the ugly alternative path back to the rule of law.

[COBOL2Java]

I hope he has the courage to do so. There’s got to be someone in the government to resist the Chicago thugocracy.

[NonValueAdded]

Did all 3 branches sign off? I find that hard to believe unless SCOTUS issues classified decisions. Given Scalia’s dissent in the recent DNA case, I find it very hard to believe that he would be supportive of such a general warrant (in the historic sense of that term).

[Ken H]

All 3 branches agreed on Obamacare.

[COBOL2Java]

The 3rd branch is not just SCOTUS. It is the judiciary, which includes the FISA court.

[dforest]

Oh Mr Bolton, you forgot the most important party that all those branches work for.

We The People, and we do not agree that this is okay.
