Justice Breyer: U. S. Constitution should be subordinated to international will

Astute observation - You are absolutely right - It just goes to show you how incredibly powerful the homosexual agenda is.

[judicial meanz]

The POTUS appoints each Justice of the Supreme Court.

[steveegg]

Do you know who makes the decision to appoint Chief Justice?

Is it Bush?

It's whoever the President is when the position opens up, with the "advice and consent" of the Senate.

I don't want to ruin your day but if you haven't seen this, you sure the heck should.

[steveegg]

Here's to a backfire of the new stragedy (sp-intentional).

[judicial meanz]

see posts 61 and 90.

Especially the second paragraph or so of the 1957 petition.

THIS is AWFUL....it reminds me of the 2000 election debacle....the implications of this are unbelievable....and I was just starting to hope we (America) had turned a corner to the RIGHT

[PatrioticAmerican]

I'd say that is an act of treason!

[metesky]

Good observation, Bryan. It is unprecedented. Lobbying.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Whiletrue, it doesn't negate the possiblity political advantage to be gleaned from remarks such as these. It won't play well at all in Senate races south of the Mason Dixon line and should be a club wielded heavily.

Good point.

[Seamus Mc Gillicuddy]

Revisionist thinking has no place in interpreting constitutional law. Any judge who believes it does should step down from the bench.

U.S. Constitution, the oldest governing document in use in the world today

The constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the oldest governing document on earth.

Yeah, but is it still in use? :-)

If our Congress had any backbone, the SCOTUS can be dealt with under Article 3 of the Constitution. If I recall correctly, Article 3 has been invoked some 150 times - but all prior to CY 1900. Congress, however, appears to play it safe in politically dangerous matters - let the SCOTUS take the decision/heat.

[Redcloak]

I wonder what Arlen Specter thinks of this from a Scottish law perspective.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Amen.

If Americans' values and mores change along with other foreign elements of "Western Culture", then there is a perfectly fine way of amending the Constitution to make those changes.

[E Rocc]

The Constitution establishes itself as the supreme law of the land...with signed, ratified, and proclaimed treaties being debatably co-equal.

Unless and until it is amended, it is subordinate to nothing. Not the Bible, not the UN, not "world opinion", not even the "will of the people", unless said "will" can muster 2/3 of each house of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures.

For a Supreme Court justice to not realize this is scary.

"FIRE BREYER!"

That has a nice ring to it.

Dear Justice Breyer,

The Constitution doesn't allow for clitorectomy, the African/Middle Eastern method of cutting away a woman's clitoris so that she can't feel pleasure.

However, it is allowed by other "constitutions". So, just how do you propose we change ours to ensure "it fits into the governing documents of other nations".

This is not a joke. Just what "parts" of other governing documents are we to adopt in this jerkoff's mind? I will die first, before this man gets his way.

[ought-six]

A"living constitution" is no constitution at all, as it can eman anything to anybody at any given time. In that case, why even have a constitution, since the "law of the land" can literally change from day to day?

[Itzlzha]

"You realize that the framers intended those words to maintain constant values, but values that would change in their application as society changed."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't such "changes" the purview of the LEGSISLATURE to CREATE THE CHANGES IN THE LAW?!?! You as a "Judge" are supposed to interpret...not CREATE!

Impeachment is ALSO a legal issue...one I hope you and your Elitist scum learn about first-hand...and will if I have a say in it!

Time to let our lawmakers know that their jobs, which belong to US, are being usurped by unelected elitists!
