A day of recoging WILL come to the left, and when it does, I will smile gleefully. And I think that day wont be long off.

Is there a reason not to immediately push for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman?Sure. It would never pass. And an Amendments Convention would probably cost us even more rights.

Any lawyer that has been practicing for a few years knows the gig. The law is a paycheck, parts of it work fine, but court decisions are arbitrary. There are sufficient precedents that no outcome is determined by "the law." "the law" is whatever the judge says it is, and the judges are inconsistent.
Still a good paycheck, for the lawyers I mean.

by todays standards he need not leave. There is no more need to respect the judiciary. they are unworthy. He should tell all while he is there.

If Scalia quits or otherwise leaves SCOTUS, the game is over. Point, set, match.Why? Because you'll miss reading his minority dissents? He's already irrelevant.

Many years ago, I remember reading a book...I think it was called 53 man and the Constitution.
IIRC, during their debates, someone said the problem with the Supreme Court was that there was no check on it.
And so the problem comes to fruition....

This country is doomed, officially, it’s doomed. Black robed tyrants have now sealed God’s judgment upon us. There is no other way to look at it.

The president can and does have the power to single handedly trump the Supreme Court if he so chooses, we have just been cursed with weak leaders that are not true conservatives and are not willing to do what HAS to be done.
But our time WILL come.
Watch and wait for it, you will know when.

In a horrific week for American jurisprudence, I wish I could say more than ‘Justice Scalia has given me a new tagline’.
Sadly, as the opinions of a majority of Americans are flushed down the sewer by an unelected, activist court, that’s the best I can do.
Thank you, Justice Scalia. You speak for me.

It’s akin to a war on the people, our government has lost it’s way. Can revolution be far behind or have we lost our true Independence, Freedom and adherence to our founding documents.
In short, is this still America?

The only way to fix this, at this point, is to follow Mark Levin’s suggestion of following the law in Article V and having a convention of the states.
If we tried to pass an amendment through any other process, the media and the ‘hip’ crowd would popularize shooting it down.
No, it will have to come from a consortium of like-minded states who share a majority and who outnumber the left-leaning states.

It’s only over if the Republicans LET it be over. If we get the presidency back, we could stack the court and overnight fix all this mess.

“At least then well have someplace to go.”
I am already here and the view from what I see is enough to make me vomit. I note he made of point of noting where these elite judges come from. There is not a representative sampling in the group from a mores point of view. Therefore, I do not believe in their rulings as they are not judicial opinions from my peres who are rendering these verdicts. Rather they are a group of egocentric solicitors who view them selves as as erudite. I view them in contempt.

Read 55 men the story of the constitution. About the debates in forming the constitution.
It makes note that the Supreme Court has no check.
