- J L,I will find some statements that support the usurping of the courts by Judges and Lawyers sworn to uphold the Constitution?I don't think the Constitution is studied almost anywhere, including law schools. In law schools, what they study is what the court said about the Constitution. They study the opinions. They don't study the Constitution itself.
Robert Bork
In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge.
Robert Bork
The notion that Congress can change the meaning given a constitutional provision by the Court is subversive of the function of judicial review; and it is not the less so because the Court promises to allow it only when the Constitution is moved to the left.
Robert Bork
The purpose that brought the fourteenth amendment into being was equality before the law, and equality, not separation, was written into the law.
Robert Bork
Those who made and endorsed our Constitution knew man's nature, and it is to their ideas, rather than to the temptations of utopia, that we must ask that our judges adhere.
Robert Bork
When a judge assumes the power to decide which distinctions made in a statute are legitimate and which are not, he assumes the power to disapprove of any and all legislation, because all legislation makes distinctions.
Robert Bork

- The reason I like Google Books is the content search capability. Rather than just read you can look quickly look things up. Check this link out for instance search for Law of Nature

- This was just send to me by a friend -"SCOTUS likes it and even the guys in the 9th CIRCUS agree with Arizona. Immigration STATUS
or grounds for deportation have NO bearing on a states right to enforce employment laws within
their birders. A very common sense and well written opinion. Notice though that the three Looney
Left judges (Kagen recused herself) couldn't see it that way. This is proof positive that ideology
rules the left wing of the court. The old saw that reasonable men can agree to disagree is made
ludicrous here in light of a well written opinion both from the 9th circuit and the Supreme Court.
We are SLOWLY taking back this country and demanding through laws, that our borders be respected."

- What we are discussing is not a new quandary Aristotle was dead in 322 BC?Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

- IMO the SCOTUS will not make findings that SS and Medicare are Unconstitutional for that would highlight their usurping past actions. My statement is an opinion of how they might split the baby as in Solomons example with the two women. They will attempt to save face and the "CONTRACT" has been used by the Courts to permit Federal usurpations as the States accepted the money and formed an implied Contract?I will agree that in a perfect world the words of many Founders stating that any law based upon usurped power is void, null as if it never existed at all. The size and the scope of the SS/Medicare will not permit the Justices to issue proper finding making the State legislatures take over the total system and operate for their citizens.So, like when Pandora opened the box out pops many more problems than thought therein to be contained. . . . IMO

- I agree that the implied contract findings by the courts are false but I do not remember the cases but States have lost claims because they took the federal money and used it for the expressed purposes thereby creating a implied contract. The SCOTUS IMO has continued to usurp for more than 150 years without reprimand from the Congress.This is one of the reasons I beat the article V State convention to put the courts back into the box of approve or disapprove. No power to modify, alter, order performance, or apply any power other than a decision to the public. They powers being used by the Courts today are the direct responsibilities of the Congress and the Executive branches of State and Federal governments.I believe that the people are awaking to the importance of the Supreme Court Justices and was one of the resaons that teerm limits were placed on the President - FDR in 12 years appointed 8 of the Justices so he got a packed court and usurpation was increased under the NEW DEAL.The public is starting to pay attention to the issues as they are now profoundly effecting their families and their standard of living. No jobs, lower pay and higher taxes led to inflation and raises the price of gas to food and shelter. Now is the time and with the wen more people are becoming educated about how we are being screwed. the fight is on the way better sooner than latter IMO.
