Sheriff Clarke just used this R word to forecast the fallout from Supreme Court Ruling
Western Journalism ^ | 6-29-15 | Norvell Rose

Last week’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision declaring same-sex marriage to be a constitutionally protected right in all 50 states is setting up battle lines across the country, with many church leaders and some state officials indicating they will stand firm in protecting the religious liberty of those who find the high court’s decision morally offensive.

There’s even a high-profile law enforcement figure who has taken to social media with a warning about the “cultural rot” associated with the court’s declaration that gay marriage is legal across the country, despite what individual states and their residents might say. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, well known and highly regarded in conservative circles, made a bold and provocative prediction on his Twitter feed over the weekend, saying that today’s anger over the Supreme Court decision will turn to rage, then revolt.

Given Sheriff Clarke’s very public positions on support for the Second Amendment, for America’s police forces, and opposition to numerous policies of President Obama and his liberal supporters, it’s little wonder that his tweet drew a lot of passionate responses from his more than 64,000 followers. Quite a few respondents encouraged Sheriff Clarke to become a prominent leader of the opposition, so to speak, beyond his frequent criticism of the sharp left turn the country is making.

I’m pretty sure CONgress has the power to impeach a Supreme Court justice, just like they can impeach a lesser judge or a sitting President.

But they won’t.

The more I see of Sheriff Clarke the more I like!

I TOTALLY AGREE with you.

When he speaks I DO NOT see COLOR.

I SEE and HEAR someone speaking like a TRUE AMERICAN.

And, what are we supposed to say? I don’t think the congress has the power to remove a Justice of the SC.

They do. It's called impeachment. Abrogating their oaths of office certainly meets the standard of High Crime and misdemeanor to remove them from their position.

Impeach them and replace them with who? More of zero’s choice, liberal appointees? Guess we’ll have to ride out this storm - for now anyway.

The way to attack this is to run to the courthouse and file for a polygamous/incestuous marriage using the SAME original filing in Obergefell v. Hodge, substituting for “homosexual” or “gay” as appropriate.

Now that marriage means nothing, lets make it clear it means nothing.

Kennedy, Sotomayor, Kagan, Ginsberg, and Breyer definitely deserve impeachment

Don't you think that it would set a very dangerous precedent to impeach judges because you didn't like their decisions???

“Don’t you think that it would set a very dangerous precedent to impeach judges because you didn’t like their decisions?”

That is not the case here. It is imperative to remove judges who act criminally, illegally, unconstitutionally, and unethically. It is not a matter of what people “like”.

Article 3, Section 2 of the Constitution:

Congress can regulate anything the Supreme Court does.

Congress can overturn a Supreme Court ruling.

Why?

Because only Congress can make law.

The Supreme Court did not have any legal basis for their ruling on Friday.

The members of Congress have taken an oath to defend and protect the Constitution.

We don’t need a Constitutional Amendment, Congress can pass legislation invalidating the Supreme Court decision and remanding the issue back to the states.

It is that simple.

If true, it is the best news I have heard in over 6 years.

Maybe he’ll do a Vince Foster and decide to take a trip to a park and shoot himself after he’s been dead a few hours.

That was a great trick old Vince pulled. Still has people fooled how he did it.
