When members of the Judiciary take it upon themselves to engage in legislation, they are usurping the constitutional right of Congress. Our Government is to have been an institution by, of and for the people. I believe it once was. When we were governed by our duly elected officials. Those days are behind us. We no longer bow to a distant King, now we pay homage to those who wear black. They are not of us, they are not for us and they simply can not abide our ignorant intrusion into the sacred realm they inhabit. They are above our laws, and we are beneath their contempt.
I long for the days when we were created equal. Now a hand full of the saints in black can determine our foreign policy, our nullify our right to pass laws with a scratch of their powerful pens. What recourse do we as citizens have? We can not impeach them. Congress has that right but Congress for better or worse is a partisan body. This is a non-partisan issue. This is above all other issues right now. Are we a nation of men or of laws? Are we a republic that treats all men equally under the law? If so we can not allow a usurpation of our liberty to a duly elected governing body. The judiciary must be directly accountable to the people of this nation.
Perhaps this seems extreme, but then so are the actions of the few when they exercise disproportionate power over the many.
This is not a new issue, it has dogged our nation from it’s founding and perhaps it will be until the end of our nation. When the loyal citizens of the British Colonies were tired of the oppression and more so perhaps of the arrogance of a distant power they rose to rebellion. Justly. Would an armed rebellion profit our nation now? Did it then? In that generation perhaps not, but most would agree that in the near decades they were allowed to prosper in their liberty.
Rebellion or an armed revolution should never be undertaken lightly, I do not lightly suggest such a notion, but perhaps even the mention of such a dreadful solution would cause those in the ivory tower to take note of the fragility of their position.
Far better, and yet not a desirable proposition is a constitutional amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing for a direct impeachment of Judges who sit on the federal bench. The ones who now sit for as long as they draw breath or until they abdicate their lofty position, barring a congressional impeachment.
Whether or not this Amendment were to be ratified, the debate it would inspire may be just the thing to awaken our celebrity obsessed culture to the very grave danger our liberty now endures.

When Rush Was Relevant
When Rush Limbaugh became a national sensation he was known as a Right Wing Populist, a man who believed that America’s greatness resided in it’s people not it’s Political leaders. Reagan recognized this, most individual’s with an ( R ) after their name realize this, it’s sad to think that somewhere along the line the All Knowing, All Caring, All Everything Maha Rushie has forgotten it.
“On the edge of societal evolution,” is different from just being sharp tongued toward those with whom you disagree. Now he suffers from a deafness induced by the “Rush Echo Syndrome.” Lately it seems only those who either can not articulate an opposing view or absolutely agree with the host are the ones who get air time with Rush. Is it because Rush knows that he is in an untenable stance that is destructive to the Nation? Is he truly deluded or is he just stubborn? We know that the duty of the caller is to “Make the host look good,” (For those of you in Rio Linda, Rush is the Host, you are the caller) perhaps Rush is not well served by this set up. We know that Rush is conservative, more importantly Rush knows he is conservative, he likes to say it and we like to hear him say it, it’s rather entertaining to hear him say it, if you never have listened to him you should give it a try. I advise that you wait until the Primary season is over and the man behind the Golden EIB microphone has returned to some level of sanity.
I submit proof of his rubber room credentials, his recent assertions that the Maverick John McCain and the Huckster are not conservative, “I don’t care what you call them just don’t call them conservative.” His callers do their duty by filling the blanks, they are liberals, John McCain was endorsed by the NY Times, ENDORSED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, that way if Hillary wins or if she loses to McCain they still get what they want, a Liberal in the White House. Perhaps I’m the one losing my mind but I don’t hear of men and women in the U.S. Military sounding a clarion call of overwhelming support for the Clintons. In an uncommonly cogent moment Gov. Romney said, “I don’t think the American People want Bill in the White House with nothing to do.” He of course immediately backed off of what he had said, but it is true that our daughters and grand daughters now know that Oral Sex is not sex and that you would never name your daughter Monica because that is now the name of the afore mentioned non-sex act. I believe that the interns and innocent ears around the world would be safe if the Huckster were elected. Big enough differences to allow me, a poor ignorant soul to be able to vote for either of these men if they were the Republican Nominee.
If Rush succeeds in his mission to demoralize the base, Hillary will sit in the White House in 2009. If he can fracture the base well enough along Religious, Economic, or Defense lines then there will be no party to stand against Hillary. Maybe Rush just wants a chance to speak as often as he did in second Clinton term of cigars in the Oral Office or perhaps another orifice.
Rush, we pray for you to have you hearing restored, figuratively and physically, but please, please don’t be hasty to destroy our conservative house. The big tent of Conservatism is big enough for the entire nation, Reagan knew this and we miss him, there will likely not be a leader of his caliber in our life times. But let’s not forsake the good and the admirable for the Reaganesque ideal of conservative perfection. We miss when you were relevant, when you spoke for us more often than you did against us.
