Out of Control

A DRAMA

With this hypothetical I hope to demonstrate what I think is a perilous constitutional perch we are sitting on.

That the Kyoto Treaty has not been ratified is exactly the point Where was the legalized abortion legislation? Democrats have consistently used the courts to implement programs they have no hope of passing legislatively. This is where we're headed.
The Hypothetical
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote orders the The Kyoto Treaty  implemented, with foreign observers to verify compliance.  (Gore v. Bush)

The response:
In a stunning rebuke of President Bush, The Supreme Court today ...
“The Court has erred on a monumental level ... powers it does not constitutionally possess.
In questioning the Court's` decision the President has alarmed members of congress,and rightly so.  Talk of Impeachment may be premature ...
The traitor is on the ropes ... we need 1,000,000 marchers on Saturday for the big Impeach Bush initiative ....
... full fledged constitutional crisis if Congressional Democrats decide to play to the radical left that has so much influence with the party.  The Court had absolutely no standing to rule the way they did ...
Even though President Bush chose to ignore the scientific community that unanimously agreed that Global Warming was caused by man,  I remained hopeful that this  President would recognize the sanctity of our highest court.  I am deeply saddened therefore...
It will be important to gain psychological control of the demonstration as early as possible.  Reactionaries must be swarmed and beaten into silence.  A roll of quarters will achieve good results when gripped in the fist ...
I have invited UN observers to monitor the situation while we start meeting our obligations under International Law.  If the President does anything to disrupt the process, he will be impeached, make no mistake.
RIOTS!  DEATH TOLL MOUNTS
This scenario would have been unbelievable fiction in 1960.  It's not today.

Um, I was going to say something, but the "System error" lasted so long that I forgot what it was that I wanted to say. The internets are tubing me tonight. Or is that "hosing me?" I can't keep all of this newfandangled crap straight.

There's a problem w/ your hypo. The Senate hasn't yet ratified the treaty and, therefore, it is not a law or treaty obligation binding the U.S. government.

But if the Senate does ratify the treaty, then, under both U.S. and international law, it is a law and treaty obligation binding the U.S. government.

Your hypothetical problem isn't really with the courts. Your hypothetical problem is with the U.S. Senate.

No Chuck, that the Kyoto Treaty has not been ratified is exactly my point Where was the legalized abortion legislation? Democrats have consistently used the courts to implement programs they have no hope of passing legislatively.

I agree with Jack H., this is why we have the 2nd ammendment, so that when the time comes we can deal with the defectives appropriately. Defectives, I think that dehumanizes them nicely and we know why that's necessary, right? I think quite a few of our Founding Fathers would already be running in circles screaming at us to do something before it's too late. The day they start going door to door confiscating guns it will be too late, oh they already did that in New Orleans
didn't they?

"Where was the legalized abortion legislation?"

You are comparing apples to coconuts. The SCOTUS' reasoning regarding abortion had to do with the right of privacy implied by the U.S. Const. In dealing Kyoto, the SCOTUS would have to deal w/ something totally different -- treaty interpretation and its applicabilty to U.S. domestic law under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Const.

Apples. Coconuts.

But something that might really screw us all up is if the "next" POTUS (Hilldog) decides to sign Kyoto as an executive agreement. Sure, it's not a treaty but, under established international law and SCOTUS precedent, it could still bind the country.

It's called natural progression Chuck ... slippery slope, and all that. Don't be hidebound. This is not a comparison to anything, it's a freaking hypothesis of where we're headed.

They don't need Kyoto. Just have EPA crank out more regs. Now that comes under the Executive, but that won't stop Dems and their moles in the courts. Look at the latest CO2 fiasco from the Supremes.
