The Ten Commandments decision will probably not come down until late June. Both Congress and the Court may be out of town when that happens. The better suggestion is to do this in April when all the powers that be will be in Washington, and the subject of confirming judicial nominees will be on the table in the Senate.

Only Congress can make law, and if they wish, they can just ignore the courts attempt to legislate from the bench. Of course, they won't do that, and still hope to be re-elected.
This is what needs to change- if they want to stay in office, they should be afraid NOT to ignore these rullings

I've ordered his book too. Rush did an interview with him for the Limbaugh Letter, and Rush had Mark on his show for a whole hour last week. It's stunning to listen to Mark. It's also very scary.
The dems are going to fight this because the courts are their last bastion of power. They are losing the media, the schools, and only the courts are left.

Let's hand out constitutions to the people outside the Supreme Court.

Hello, my FRiend- family health problems ( I'm fine, everybody else is falling apart! ) preclude my getting far from home-- but anything I can do in support, I will.
This idiocy has gone 'way too far. It's high time to rein in this Kangaroo Court, and remind the government that they serve us.

The thought which keeps coming up is the "under GOD" provision for the pledge. The 2nd time it got thrown out - I thought they were going to stop people being able to challenge that in court. It could only be changed by legislation.
I don't know .. I'm just guessing here!

""Marching on the SCOTUS won't accomplish anything. They have lifetime tenure and couldn't care less what the people think of them."
In the MA state constitution, Judges can easily be removed for bad behavior, (not that we are having much progress getting it done but we are trying. Also the Governor and his council here, has the authority over the courts in some matters, like marriage, but hasn't used it) I am wondering if the same holds true for the US Constitution? Does anyone know? There is a system of checks and balances, but I don't know how much.

John Marshall did not "create" judicial review. You need to read the history of George Wythe, the first law Professor in the US. He taught Madison, Mason, Jefferson and Patrick Henry, among others. He also, as a judge, decided
Caton v. Commonwealth, one of six cases which recognized judicial review before the Constitution was a gleam in the Framers' eyes.
What you wrote is stated in many history books. But most "historians" who write history books are lazy, sloppy and biased. That's why they make such obvious mistakes.

Yes, it is time.
Hearing Frist blame the American people for inaction in the Senate is my tipping point. I've had it with them.
If the date is named at least a month in advance, I will do my best to make it. Can't arrange a trip on too short of notice.
Conditionally I think this has got to be a universal conservative effort. All conservatives in any position of influence need to join in spreading the word. Blogs, Forums, talk radio, newspapers, word of mouth. This has got to be a massive protest-and it should be aimed at the Republican Senators and Judiciary.
The Democrats are irrelevant. The Republican leadership in the Senate needs to understand WE are the ones that elected them and WE, not Dem activists, are the ones they should be listening to.

I'd love to March on DC. I'd also love to march on Capitol in Sacramento and in Raleigh.

"Is it time" for this? Yes. It was "time" a long time ago.
Let's see if the right can get off its duff and do something.
To: Jim Robinson
Oh the list of things that demand the peoples attention. Take the biggest bite of the apple possible! The march should focus on making all law makers and judges proof test everything that we pay them to do falls inside the laws of our original US Constitution. All laws that don't pass Constitutional muster get immediately repealed. Any and all politicians, judges, law enforcement personnel, military brass and any and all government officials who break their oath of office get immediately removed. Period, no argument, end of story. Law enforcement is included because they most always carry out the dirty work of the politicians. Waco Tx is why I included the military brass.

While we are at it, the SCOTUS building is "owned" (financially controlled through the budget) by Congress. I suggest Congress begin by removing the funding for the A/C and lights. (Hand out candles, but no matches..they are dangerous), Disconnect the Phones, and T1 lines etc. Then they can move on to stuff like cars, special privileges, Clerk and secretary salaries, Paper, pencils, TW ribbons, and stuff like that...amazing how dependent we are on the little things...
Can't cut their salaries but they can deprive them of most everything else.
I don't mean to make light of this..but there are things that could be done to make the SCOTUS d@mned uncomfortable while we organize our little visit. Isn't there an appropriations bill in the works somewhere?

Please let me know and me and I will be there!

The US Constitution says: "Shall hold their office during good Behaviour" Their behaviour is not good when they flapp at the Constitution.
To: Congressman Billybob
I would have guessed they'd let it out when nobody was watching. We'd best put the fear of God (and voters)in them before hand then.

Count me in. Mark Levin for the next Supreme Court vacancy. Nuke the Senate rule.

I missed the Frist reference. Can you point me there? My home state is Tenn and I would really like to share my opinion with Dear Dr. if that is what he said...(wonder why/how he thinks he made it there in the first place?)
