The Roberts Court's rulings appear to be a concerted effort to send us back to the Gilded Age. If they dump the Affordable Care Act, writes David Dow, we should dump them.
Hell and Yes! Down with Tyranny POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
So let me make sure I get this. By using Dow's logic, if I get pulled over by a patrolman and gives me a ticket for speeding, and, after I take him to court and am found guilty all I have to do is invoke my magical liberal powers and impeach the judge because I didn't like his decision? After all, I don't know much about the law but I know what I want!!
I just love how liberals' going in position is almost alway scorched-Earth tempy-tantrums when they don't get their way. "OH MY GOD THE SUMPEME COURT IS DOING IT"S JOB? WE GOTTA GET RID OF THEM!"
I think what Mr. Dow is missing here is that once upon a time this country was a country bound by respect of the law. The highest law of the land being the Constitution. I know, I know it was written by a bunch of men in powdered wigs (sigh - now that's a fashion statement) and short pants buckled at the knee so what in God's name would they know about what we need in today's fast paced society?
I hate to break it to you Mr. Dow but the founders explicitly set up congress (and specifically the Senate) for inaction rather than action (60 vote requirement). They saw what sudden and ill-thought out legislation could do to a country both economically and to its security. So they made it very very difficult to make changes without bi-partisan support.
However, the only way the Senate could pass O-Care in the first place was by playing parliamentary tricks circumventing both tradition and the Constitution. And now that their pet experiment is threatened - gasp - they suddenly find the separation of powers way too cumbersome and demand it be destroyed. These mouth-breathers are just stunned that the Supreme Court might-just might-have a legitimate issue with the constitutionality of the law.
Liberals are so predictable. If you don't agree with them, rather than a reasoned debate, they opt for anarchy. Sad but not unexpected.
Exit Question: where the hell were these pearl-clutchers when Hot-Rod-Harry Reid was trampling the Constitution to get this piece of crap through the Senate?
It's not just the Terrible Twos that are temper-tantrum-throwing machines.
ReplyDeleteThese Libs/Dems/Progs/Statists (both in and out of the White House... or outhouse...) make the most petulant toddler look calm, reasoned and quite erudite in persuasively expressing his desires and opinions.
The Queen of Hearts would observe their rhetorical and legislative prowess and bow down moaning, "We are not worthy, we are not worthy!"
What else should we expect if there are no adults present to moderate the festivities.
Chris - Thanks for dropping by. Very good point. The O is ticked that a few unelected people in a locked room will determine the fate of his signature project but he forgets that that is exactly how this nonsense was created. That is a few unelected people in a locked room.
DeleteA favorite site that I visit is "Dr. Sanity" -- a practicing psychiatrist and former NASA shuttle-era flight surgeon. She's nailed Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac (I'll take the blame of giving him that moniker awhile back in other blog comments) as a malignant narcissist, with a classical Dems-in-denial party (with sycophantic MSM) enabling his megalomaniac imperial rule.
DeleteClearly Obummer thinks there should only be ONE branch of government. HIM!
ReplyDeleteShovelready - Now that makes a lot of sense given every time anyone opposes his point of view he goes bananas. As if 'I'm the king why don't you people see my genuineness?
DeleteIf he gets beat in November look for a sad puppy blaming every one but himself..
Nope, he will NEVER blame himself. Always someone else fault. Probably George W. Bush. We MUST defeat this dictator wannabe.
Deleteyou got that right. Look what he is doing to Ryan over the budget. In the big scheme of things Ryan is a bit player but Obama through his paranoia has elevated him to superstar status in the GOP and boggy man with the Dems. Bush was brilliant at not picking unnecessary fights. This rookie can't help himself.
