It’s time to rein in the judiciary with a real spitfire.


The current United States Supreme Court is without question an utter disgrace. The illustrious high judges, apparently tired of the old and boring American Constitution, have resorted to rigorous consultation of world opinion, their feelings, and sometimes even the dark verse of NOW and the NAACP to draft their opinions. It is one of many marks of shame upon the United States of America.

It is true that Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are reasoning and moral men, who have been known to write both insightful and logically consistent opinions. Yet, despite their partial understanding of the Supreme Court’s role as spelled out by the Constitution, they refuse to sufficiently act upon it. We must seriously question the fitness of any justice that fails to publicly condemn Chief Justice Rehnquist’s smarmy, arrogant and downright terrifying belief in extreme judicial independence and superiority to the other branches. If we are ever to reverse the tide of infanticide, federal tyranny and rampant immorality that has taken this nation since the War Between the States we must have judges who are willing to take chances to restore our republic.

Of course, an easier way is to have a president that has actually read the Constitution. Then again, the last time that happened Davy Crockett was a congressman. Nonetheless, such a person would know that it is his duty to ensure a republican form of government in each state. Any government bound to follow unconstitutional and viciously immoral edicts from an unquestionable federal high court is not a republican one. Undoubtedly, the most egregious example of tyranny by judicial fiat was Roe v. Wade. An unchecked Supreme Court told the states that they were not legally allowed to prevent the wholesale slaughter of millions upon millions of their own citizens. Luckily, the president has absolutely no need to enforce such an obviously unconstitutional ruling. Rather it is his supreme duty to oppose it and refuse to appoint judges who would force similar unconstitutional opinions upon the states. A good president could deal with abortion in a single day. But alas, the elections have come and gone.

However, we are soon to be faced with several vacancies on the Supreme Court itself. Who is capable of so entering the ranks of the enemy without being consumed or turned to evil?

Former Alabama State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has proven himself willing to act for, and upon, principal. In November 2003 he was removed from office for refusing to obey a federal district court order to remove a statue depicting the Ten Commandments from the Alabama state judicial building. During and after this obscene travesty of justice, Moore consistently explained his position and fought for appeal. He refused to cave in to an illegal order, as so many other justices did. As Moore has frequently stated, a public official in the United States government must above all serve and respect God in the fulfillment of their office. This just happens to be completely consistent with his duty as a Christian and as the foremost defender of law in Alabama. When asked to choose between God and the dangerous edicts of a humanist court, he chose as any fit judge must.

As a result of these events Moore has become a celebrity figure, and not only in the South. His previous campaign for Alabama Chief Justice and some of his outspoken self-promotion suggests that he is a man endeared to this celebrity. Unfortunately, perhaps this is exactly the quality required of a revolutionary on the ever-secretive U.S. Supreme Court.

It would be foolish to think that Roy Moore has a significant chance of ever being approved by Congress. However, he is not only an excellent candidate, but also understands martyrdom at the hands of the modern media. And what better way to kick-start the necessary congressional and executive action to rein in the wild judiciary, than a media firestorm around a man of God and principle?

Let us not forget what our current president thinks of Roy Moore. Who did he nominate to a judgeship on a Federal Appeals court? None other than witch-hunt accomplice Alabama Attorney General William Pryor – a man who talks of limited government, and then ignores God and Constitution to bow before a tyrannical federal judiciary and arrogant Republicans in Washington. Despite his failings as president, perhaps this time George W. Bush will be enlightened and help restore legality and morality to at least one branch of the United States government by nominating Roy Moore for the Supreme Court.Cornell American

Huzzah!
By: Cornell American enthusiast on 01/28/2005 at 12:32 AM

Oh, I'm a good ole Rebel, now that's just what I am;

For this "Fair Land of Freedom" I do not give a damn!

I'm glad I fit against it, I only wish we'd won,

And I don't want no pardon for anything I done.



I hates the Constitution, this "Great Republic," too!

I hates the Freedman's Bureau and uniforms of blue!

I hates the nasty eagle with all its brags and fuss,

And the lying, thieving Yankees, I hates 'em wuss and wuss!



I hates the Yankee nation and everything they do,

I hates the Declaration of Independence, too!

I hates the "Glorious Union" -- 'tis dripping with our blood,

And I hates their striped banner, I fit it all I could.



I followed old Marse Robert for four years, near about,

Got wounded in three places, and starved at Point Lookout.

I cotched the "roomatism" a'campin' in the snow,

But I killed a chance o' Yankees, and I'd like to kill some mo'!



Three hundred thousand Yankees is stiff in Southern dust!

We got three hundred thousand before they conquered us.

They died of Southern fever and Southern steel and shot,

But I wish we'd got three million instead of what we got.



I can't take up my musket and fight 'em now no more,

But I ain't a'gonna love 'em, now that's for sartain sure!

I do not want no pardon for what I was and am,

And I won't be reconstructed, and I do not care a damn!

I'll bet Dr. Suess above went to a government school. Otherwise he wouldn't be so critical of the republican form of government advocated by Judge Moore. In fact, Judge Moore does know his place. It's hacktivist judges like Myron Thompson who don't.

We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!


Hurrah!
Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.


As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.


First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen are
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

And here's to brave Virginia the Old Dominion state
With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate
Impelled by her example now other states prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star.

Then here's to our Confederacy strong we are and brave
Like patriots of old we'll fight our heritage to save
And rather than submit to shame to die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star.

Then cheer boys cheer raise the joyous shout
For Kansas and North Carolina now have both gone out
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given
The single star on the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.
