The Constitution says whatever the Hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices say it says. Of course, that means that if you replace 1 or 2 Justices, a different 5 Justice majority can just as easily decide that the Constitution says the complete opposite.
Absent an armed revolt (which I am NOT advocating for any Obama Justice Department Officials who are monitoring this thread), then the only option for fixing the Constitution is to elect a CONSERVATIVE President who will appoint CONSERVATIVE Justices.
But what about a Constitutional Amendment, you may ask? Anyone else remember the Equal Rights Amendment? The Liberals did everything they could to pass the ERA and failed. So the Supreme Court just pretended the ERA had passed and read it into the emanations and penumbra of the Constitution.
Even if we manage to pass Constitutional Amendments expressly limiting the authority of the Supreme Court they will just "interpret" no to mean yes and continue doing whatever they want to do anyway. The only way to fix the Court is to make sure there are a clear majority of CONSERVATIVE Justices on the Court.
The problem with appointing CONSERVATIVE Justices is that historically Republican Presidents have done a crappy job of it, batting no better than 50%. Reagan gave us Scalia and Kennedy. Bush Sr. gave us Thomas and Souter. Bush Jr. gave us Roberts and Alito.
Democrats, on the other hand, have done a remarkably consistent job of appointing ideologically pure and reliable far left wing activist Justices.
There is clearly something wrong with congress; there is an institutional corruption that works against freedom. That something occurred 102 years ago, when overnight we went from a mixed democratic/federal form to an entirely democratic form of government.
The only worthwhile amendments are structural in nature, changes which cannot be ignored or lawyered away.
Recall the dozens of states that opposed Obamacare, his despotic/executive amnesty, internet takeover and filed suit to stop him. Sixty-six of ninety-nine state houses are not in democrat hands. Yesterday, two states began legislative actions to stymie fag marriage.
There is clearly a building wave of resistance to tyranny.
We must take advantage of Article V now before the police state snuffs out our ability to peacefully restore freedom. History will not look kindly on a people who quietly walked into slavery.
No, It doesn't. The Constitution of the United States means exactly what it says it means. If our current tribe of bureaucrats decide that reality no longer applies to them that's their own problem and unfortunately our own problem as well. We're letting them do this to us. Let's hope that there is still a peaceful way to deal with it.
