The photo appeared in 1932 Fortune
magazine. The Supreme Court at the time was made up of four
conservatives (McReynolds, Butler, van Devanter, Sutherland), three
liberals (Brandeis, Stone, Cardozo) and two moderates (Hughes,
Roberts). [Source]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has taken a lot of
flack for saying, in an off-the-cuff comment, that he believed Texas
could secede from the union if it didn’t like what Washington was
doing. Do you believe secession is a legitimate option for states?
On this issue, Gov. Perry is correct.
The taboo on secession is a trick played by the Big Government types.
We became a country, for Heaven’s sake, by seceding from Great Britain.
And the “sheet anchor of our liberties,” the Declaration of
Independence, is a legal and moral justification for secession, and it
is codified in federal law.

is a great interview.
I of course scurried to find a photograph of the
SCOTUS sitting en banc, but there is evidently a prohibition against
such pictures. So as far as I know The Supremes exist only in the
minds
of the New York Times which use it to ... I've run amok, haven't
I?
Anyway, I wanted a photochop of Chief Justice Napolitano telling the
Obama Justices they were fired. Do your own thought bubble on
that. My
point of course is that Napolitano would be an ideal Justice. I'm
not
making that up. Here's one more exchange for the lazy, or
otherwise
disinterested. |
Has our freedom really been curtailed so
considerably? Certainly, there hasn’t been as significant an
infringement on personal liberty as there was during World War I and
World War II, right? Aren’t we are still one of the freest countries in
the world?
 Being among the freest countries in the world is a
meek standard. Our freedoms are far less than they were during the two
world wars.
We have a president who has been judge, jury, and
executioner on an American; who has started a war without congressional
authorization; and who thinks the Constitution is just a -

When you said Chief Justice Napolitano, I naturally thought ... I mean, what else could I ... Hey, couldn't you just include his first name?
ReplyDelete+1 had me confused too.

My first take on Judge Napolitano was "Who would step down from the bench to get on TV?", but over a time, watching him on FNC, I have come to admire his positions on Constitutional Law. He would wrap Barry in knots in a debate on that topic. Actually, he'd wrap the whole of Congress in a knot.
ReplyDelete"The Constitution? We can do what we want...." -- poor misquote of a CongressCritter when s/he was asked about the constitutionality of proposed legislation.
My opinion is that legislation now slithers through Congress rather than progressing. It is that low.

tomw - we share the same thought
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one disturbed by the "Being among the freest countries in the world" part of the Napolitano quote.
ReplyDeleteWTF???
How bad is it when the United States of America is not simply the "freest" country in the world? The Left has won, boys. The only question left is do we get to enjoy a Soviet-style totalitarian society or do we go straight to the Hitler model?
Assholes, every last one of them.
My one hope is that enough of "flyover country" figures this sh*t out and secedes before the Obamunists and their Stupid Party (h/t Kim du Toit) enablers like Boehner and Mitchell introduce us to the glories of the Lubyanka.

I believe that's the exact point Judge Nap was making, wot?
