She got the job when she called Barack and asked "How's my favorite Kenyan Law student"?

It already does, ex: Roe vs Wade. The GOP wanted to please its base so nominated judges that would do what the mob wanted, take control of women's bodies. Next on the mob chopping block? Gay marriage.

Kagan is a Marxist with utter contempt for our Constitution.

This is unbelievable.
The Supreme Court exists to determine the constitutionality of laws, not win popularity contests with "the public"?
Only 2 types of things exist in this country:
Things Liberals have fucked up.
Things Liberals want to fuck up.

So she should resign because she is not doing her sworn oath.

Except they didnt do that. Your repeating a falsehood. Judges didnt take control of anyones body. They simply ruled that its up for the people to decide what they want through legislation. In other words, pass laws through the representatives you elect to represent you.
The people have control... not 9 judges.

Good!

Tell her that about 80% of Americans favor term limits for Congress, as the current Congress has an approval rating of under 20% So SCOTUS should force Congress to impose term limits and get rid of all the Congressmen, that is, if SCOTUS wants to have any legitimacy with the public.

No. The issue was returned to the states, where it belongs. Now, you have the power to vote for representatives who will legislate the way you want them to. Now, go be an American, stop being a fascist.

Not to mention Federal Income tax…most people do not want that.

 

[Resnic]

So basically she thinks there should be no supreme court and that her jobs is meaningless.

According to her everytime there is an issue we should just poll Americans and then change law based on what the public thinks.

That is wrong. Supreme court just turned the decision back over to individual states because they ruled abortion isn't a constitutional right and thus can't be mandated by the government.

For the millionth time, they did not rule you cant have an abortion.

That appears to be what she's saying, yes. Mob rule has always been the left's go-to form of "government".

They'll never get it. The programming is too strong.

 

[struth]

She’s a radical obama bot…beholden to the demafasict agenda.

She never once served as a judge before getting this job based on her loyalty.

It shows, what a radical belief and she should be impeached for believing this

What a dumb bitch. We do not vote for every issue. That would be a fucking nightmare.

We are not a democracy, we are a Constitutonal Republic. It doesnt surprise me that the dumb leftist on the court doesnt know civics.

That's funny....

I thought that the U.S. Constitution started with the words:

"We the people...do ordain"

Apparently the founding Father's did think that the People of the United States should have some authority over the government.

Do you think that Judges who commit perjury at their nomination hearings should go?

Good point but that doesn't mean just because a few are louder and more obnoxious that something is within 'the will of the people' because i said so. Many do not get involved until problem and issues are obviously affecting them personally in a negative way. it also does not mean a few elitist get to have all the say so in matters over and above the will of the individual person who lives in a lawfully abiding manner.
