Very True, and whilst ever we hold these words as truth in our hearts, the country will always belong to us and not them. This is not over by a long shot. Even if the bill passes. It will have only just begun.
We the people cannot depend on the current Supreme Court to declare the bill unconstitutional. At best the current court would rule 5-4 to declare the bill unconstitutional. However, Kennedy cannot be depended on and might be persuaded to vote the other way.
It will take months, if not a year or more, for the case to work its way through the legal system to reach the Supreme Court. Two of the justices who might support the proposition the bill is unconstitutional are over 70 years of age — Scalia (74) and Kennedy (73). No doubt if either departed the Court, Obama and the Democrat Congress would try to fill the vacancy with a left wing judge. It is likely they would be successful, tilting the balance of the Court permanently to those who openly advocate a “living” Constitution.
Today we have the tyranny of the imperial presidency supported by a rubber stamp Congress and a sometimes acquiescent judicial branch. Not unlike the tyranny of King George III and Parliament at the time of the Revolution. Our institutions have been corrupted. It is now time for the people to decide if they wish to live in slavery or shake off the chains of an oppressive collective government.
