Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court's Dumbest Decision
Imagine for a moment that you were ticketed for speeding by the state police.
Suppose that you lied to the cop about why you were driving so fast. Then imagine that a group
of special-interest lawyers contacted you and told you they wanted to appeal your ticket to the
Supreme Court, and they gave you a legal pseudonym to hide your identity. Now imagine that the
Court ruled that the ancient Romans had no speed limit on the Appian Way, that the Germans have
no speed limits on the autobahn, and that speed limits are a violation of the Constitution and must be struck down.
Sound crazy? Well, the hypothetical scenario above pretty much describes the logic used by the
Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. Actually, "logic" is much too strong a word. The Court's opinion
in Roe is pure sophistry -- and very bad sophistry at that.

NEXT ON THE CITIZENS' DOCKET! THIS IS A "MUST DO"! TERM LIMITS FOR FEDERAL JUDGES
The majority on the Supreme Court was reaching the “desirable” result in the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education,
his clerk said to Justice Stanley Reed. This observation was irrelevant and dangerous, Justice Reed replied, because if judges voted for results merely because they privately struck the judges
as desirable, the Court would overstep its jurisdiction and set the country on a path to krytocracy. Krytocracy is government by unelected judges who substitute their policy preferences for those of elected officials and citizens. Two recent decisions
suggest we may nearly be there.

Bad Precedent and Wayward Judges
In our court system, judges must base their decisions on sound legal principles. High regard for following prior judicial decisions, known as precedent, has always been an important concept in our law, but such precedents are only valid if based on the United States Constitution, which all judges are sworn to uphold. Lately, there has been a great deal of criticism of the new "conservative majority" on the United States Supreme Court for disregarding "long-standing precedents" and "running roughshod over the Constitution." I submit that such criticism is wrong
Court Adjourned
How far have we slipped from the intent of our founders? A legal system that was based on Biblical teachings and who's bedrock was the Ten Commandments is now being guided by the believe that God has no place in public life and morality is best defined by the individual. While there are certainly some who would argue the point, our judicial system at it's very core is scriptually based from both the old and new testament.
In an attempt to secure "religious freedom" our courts have been engaged in an effort to take those freedoms from Americans. The very principles that have made our Government the most successful and our country the envy of all freedom loving people have been systematicly critized, demonized & marginalized because of their Christian enfluence. It would appear that tolerance is only required when you're talking Gay Rights or accepting Muslim ideology.
Our founding fathers, while being comprised of both Clergy and secular members, made it quite clear that the teachings of Christ were to be the cornerstone of the American judicial system. At the same time, they were determined that our country would not be plauged by the religious tyranny of England and much of Europe. The emphasis was "freedom of religion" not "freedom from religion" as groups such as the ACLU and Americans United for Seperation Of Church of State would like us all to believe.
In the 1931 case of U.S. v. Macintosh, the U.S. Supreme Court majority opinion stated,
"We are a Christian people . . . according to one another the equal right of religious freedom, and acknowledging with reverence the duty of obedience
to the will of God." The dissenting opinion also recognized God, noting, "One cannot speak of religious liberty . . . without assuming the existence of a belief in
supreme allegiance to the will of God." "
Be it their incorrect interpretaion of Jefferson's "wall of separation", creating rights in the Constituition they've decided should be there, or ignoring ones they think should not, our courts and judges have made decisions that have dangerously changed the course of our nation. Much of the decline of our Country is the direct result of these people who we've entrusted to protect our rights and ensure our freedoms. The increase of crime, our failing educational system, the decline of the family and the eroding of our national morality can all be laid at the feet of the courts.
But the high courts are not filled with leftist judges all by themselves. We place them there directly by our votes or indirectly by the person we put into the White House. While Ronald Reagan & George Bush were able to appoint Constructionist judges, the election of Barack Obama has the real potential of reversing the convservative direction these appointments promise. Americas future faces some very dark days because of ill informed people buying into a mantra of change and the speeches of a man who's philosophy is contrary to the American Way.
