The Nuclear Option: Misplaced Conservative Outrage

The filibuster has not prevented tyranny. Few understand this better than crime victims, who know that the filibuster never stopped the appointment of judicial tyrants whose notion of “justice” is to torture victims for the benefit of violent criminals. The war against victims is but one example of pervasive tyranny. Others include quotas, and the assault s on religion, property and health care. Republicans have failed tragically to meaningfully oppose tyranny, and often have enabled it. If RINOs are not replaced by a genuine opposition party, nothing can save the Constitution – or the representative democracy and freedoms that are the heritage of this country.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS, OBAMACARE AND THE SUPREME COURT EMPERORS’ CLOTHES

The ObamaCare decision exposed the Supreme Court as an emperor without clothes. Hoping for deliverance from ObamaCare, many usual critics defended the Court. But with a new term fast approaching, a month before a critical election, Chief Justice Roberts’ handiwork should be remembered as a final wake-up call to consider, once and for all, whether the Court and judicial review merit respect, acceptance and legitimacy.
Upon Paul Ryan’s vice presidential selection, supporters noted his objection that Chief Justice Roberts had “contort[ed] logic and reason to come up with [the ObamaCare] ruling.” Such contortion is nothing unusual except for one thing. The Supreme Court, which normally operates in obscurity, could not escape a glaring spotlight this time, affording a rare opportunity to inform the public about the dark side of what many justices do. This raises questions concerning the utility of elections, what remains of our actual Constitution, the rule of law, and public acceptance of judicial review.

What Hath Roberts Wrought?

In protecting deceit of the people, the Chief justice has committed a frontal assault on the democratic process, smashing to smithereens his grandiloquent bromide disavowing Court vigilance regarding their alleged political choices.
Collateral damage has resulted from Chief Justice Roberts’ validation of ObamaCare’s assault on individual freedom, the economy, and the country. The comity and unity of the law’s opponents have been shattered, as they have been bitterly divided between his critics and defenders.
