JUSTICES FACE OUR FOREFATHERS

6/5/10




              JUSTICES FACE OUR FOREFATHERS



Let us use our imagination for a moment and assume that we dreamed about our Founding Fathers, together with some guests, meet face to face with our Justices of the Supreme Court, and try to reproduce a possible conversation:



‘Our Founders would probably say:

“We are talking to you from a privileged place in heaven. The Creator decided that, since we were able, through blood, sweat and tears matched with our sacrifice and clear thinking, to create a Republic that has grown for 233 years to reach an exceptional level, the envy of the world, the leader of the fairest Republic of humanity (all achieved by upholding our Constitution), that we deserve to live here for ever.



“We have called upon you for us to learn first hand what is happening in our Republic that everything seems to break apart in a very short time. We are reproducing below the most outstanding quotations of our Founders that explain very clearly our most profound basis for our Constitution, the lasting foundation of our Republic that enabled us to achieve the highest and noblest development.



ABRAHAM LINCOLN:

"I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people,-- the United States Constitution; and that, as such,I am responsible to them."



GEORGE WASHINGTON:

"The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon."



JOHN ADAMS:

Each individual of the society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property, according to standing laws.



BENJAMIN FRANKLIN:

A small leak can sink a great ship.





THOMAS JEFFERSON:

The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.



PATRICK HENRY

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."



SAMUEL ADAMS:

“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.”



Here is the oath that you have all taken:

"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.''



The newly elected President of the United States took the following oath of office:

I do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President of the United States “faithfully”(*), and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."



We are also including the most powerful words written by all of you as Justices of the Supreme Court:









JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS SAID:

“This body and legislative bodies in the states are protectors of the people's rights, ... Legislators have the right to protect the rights of the people as much as courts.”



JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA SAID:

“A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges’ assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all.”



JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS SAID:

“…we don't issue mandates to businesses that you've got to do this and you've got to do that.”



JUSTICE JOHN PAUL STEVENS SAID:

‘It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.”



JUSTICE ANTHONY M. STEVENS SAID:

“The case for freedom, the case for our constitutional principles the case for our heritage has to be made anew in each generation. The work of freedom is never done.”



JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG SAID:

“We had to go on and do the work of the court and we did.”



JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO SAID:

“The President has to follow the Constitution and the laws. And, in fact, one of the most solemn responsibilities of the President--and it's set out expressly in the Constitution--is that the President is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed and that means the Constitution.”

JUSTICE STEPHEN BREYER SAID:

“There are loads of countries that have nice written constitutions like ours. But there aren't loads of countries where they're followed.”



JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR SAID:

“All judges have cases that touch our passions deeply, but we all struggle constantly with remaining impartial”

AND PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAID:

“Constitution Inherently Flawed –“



It is obvious that there are gigantic inconsistencies between what was sworn upon andwhat the actual facts are. The President, as well as the Justices of the Supreme Court, swore to uphold the Constitution. The oath has not been kept by any of these parties.



The President said that the Constitution is flawed and has proceeded to violate each of its rules and amendments

as well as the Declaration of Independence. This has not been done secretly but out in the open to the extent that even foreign nations have mocked the process whereas they are surprised that the general public has been accepting this without a whimper.



What is more remarkable is that the Supreme Court who, as per Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, is supposed to be the guardian of the sanctity of the Constitution has looked the other way and allowed all these violations to be imposed against the will of the people.



We must remember Edmund Burke’s famous and relevant words:

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”



Aren’t these good men the Justices of the Supreme Court that are to avoid all these flagrant violations and that sliding of the Republic to oblivion? Do these Justices not realize that the current Administration is committing the Republic under the jurisdiction of the United Nations that is not too friendly with our country and more so with intimately friendly nations?



We are quite dismayed that our efforts of 233 years ago is being crumbled down under the boot of a radical alien ideology.



We dare say that the Supreme Court is not living up to the tradition of the black robe. In fact it may be more suitable to change its color to yellow.



If the United States is collapsed by the current Administration, as proposed by the United Nations, together with all other “industrialized civilizations” it is doubtful that the Creator may allow this Court to enter the privileged place where we are in.’



End of dream.



(*) by error of the Justice this word was misplaced.
