Title: Rand Paul to Supreme Court: Drop dead

TheU.S. Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to uphold all but one part of the 2010 healthcare law produced some strong reactions. Supporters declared victory and opponents vowed to keep fighting. That much was to be expected.

But Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s rant against the high court’s ruling was a surprise of sorts. The physician-turned-elected-official appeared to suggest that the court needs a legal lesson or two.

“Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional,” Paul said in a statement. “While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our healthcare right.”

The senator is right, of course, about "a couple people" deciding. But in this case, five people, who happen to be justices on the Supreme Court, declared the law constitutional. Those five individuals constitute a majority on the high court and thus are empowered to decide whether something is constitutional or not.

Perhaps Paul’s beef, though, isn’t with this court but with the 209-year-old landmark decision in Marbury vs. Madison that established the basis for judicial review under Article III of the Constitution and cleared the way for federal courts to declare laws unconstitutional.

Either way, Paul's comments were the latest in a week of decisions that sparked spirited public debate. First, Justice Antonin Scalia read his feisty dissent from the majority's opinion that struck down most of Arizona's harsh immigration law, and then a freshman senator declared that just because some people on the Supreme Court weigh in on a legal matter, that doesn’t mean they know what they are doing.

So much for a system that depends on a MORAL people to obey the LAWS as they are written and intended.

John Roberts is a TRAITOR.

He just said that the feral gooberment has NO LIMITATIONS on it's POWER OVER AMERICAN individuals.

How do you know a man is a TRAITOR until he acts like a TRAITOR?

Actual WAR is coming to America.

I will NOT comply.

FTW

Thank you El Jorgo Busho!

So much for the theory about the USSC appointments. This is just another example of how Busho screwed us!

The idea that it was one man or another, (other than Roberts), that screwed America here is absurd.

The USSC is a result of many men's follies.

BUT it is the system that is fault, because it ASSUMES that the people in it are moral honest people AND that these same people love and respect the US CONSTITUTION, and the concept of federalism and limited government.

Say thanks to the so called "progressive" movement that has been working against the CONSTITUTION since before the turn of the 20th. century.

Bush didn't help, but it certainly isn't ALL his individual fault.

The SYSTEM allowed him to screw the pooch.

We need to change the SYSTEM.

Which will never happen peacefully.

Real WAR is coming to America.

They hate US that much.

" The idea that it was one man or another, (other than Roberts), that screwed America here is absurd." That was not my intent, nor did I mean to imply that. Roberts actions is just proof of the lie that Bush was a conservative, and that his SC appointments were conservative.

" The USSC is a result of many men's follies. " Yes it is. The USSC and the lower courts have been stacked with liberals, and closet liberals for a long time.

" We need to change the SYSTEM. Which will never happen peacefully. Real WAR is coming to America. " Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean ?

With pleasure;

"IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

archives.gov/exhibits/cha...cl aration_transcript.html

--Such has been the patient sufferance of these United STATES; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present "King" of Washington D.C. is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

...

Am I safe to assume that this is crystal clear to all FREE Americans whose feral gooberment is busy as we are speaking TRYING to make us ALL "subjects" instead of CITIZENS?

You do understand what Mao said about power coming from the barrel of a gun don't you?

IF Americans cannot count on being treated as CITIZENS instead of subjects by our own government, do you really think we're just going to swallow the USSC's statist shit without a murmur of protest?

Really?

The STATES will now be forced to fight the feral gooberment. First in the courts, then in the field when the feds TRY to force the states into submission to their tyrannical will.

WAR is not hyperbole, the leftists plan on KILLING MILLIONS of Americans in "re-education".

WE plan on FIGHTING them with the same sword that they would use on us.

I pray to almighty GOD that I am 100% WRONG about this, but I fear that I am not.

Those who would be our masters know NO LAW, they HATE AMERICA and AMERICANS so much that they would be happy to destroy us ALL.

WE AMERICANS aren't going ANYWHERE.

THIS IS OUR COUNTRY.

These would be tyrants will find what all such have learned, and they will learn it the same way.

We are a LONG way away from not being able to muster the active third.

Each outrage gives AMERICANS more to fight for.

When you are KILLING my kin folks you better expect some response in kind, because you ARE going to get it; and 450 MILLION rounds of .40 cal isn't going to be nearly enough.

In my heart I am convinced that no gooberment can MAKE Americans do anything they really don't want to do.

If these insane asshats in D.C. are so stupid to think that they can by "winning" or even controlling a CIVIL WAR.

There will be WAR.

They will LOSE.
