Pat Buchanan on "Judicial Dictatorship"

[DriftingSand]

I'd vote for Buchanan for President in a heartbeat. He's one of about two-and-a-half true Statesmen still in existence in the land of politics. He's level-headed, knowledgeable, courageous (in the face of a completely corrupt system); and highly intelligent. He's also vehemently opposed to Judicial Activism which is destroying the American form of Government (government for the People, by the People) and States' Rights.

Do the states have the right to outlaw same-sex marriage?

Not long ago the question would have been seen as absurd. For every state regarded homosexual acts as crimes.

Moreover, the laws prohibiting same-sex marriage had all been enacted democratically, by statewide referenda, like Proposition 8 in California, or by Congress or elected state legislatures.

But today rogue judges and justices, appointed for life, answerable to no one, instruct a once-democratic republic on what laws we may and may not enact.

Each branch of government, wrote Jefferson, is "independent of the others and has an equal right to decide for itself what is the meaning of the Constitution in the cases submitted to its action."

"No branch has the absolute or final power to control the others, especially an unelected judiciary,"...

"American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. ... Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious, for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom."

Say it like it is, Pat. You're likely too late. The cancer is deep and the host is very weak.
