Impeachment The Answer To Judicial Tyranny— In NJ, In U.S.

If Gov.

Jon Corzine wished to make himself a hero to Middle
America, the opportunity is at hand. All he need do is
inform the New Jersey Supreme Court he will neither
submit nor sign the law it has ordered enacted—to put
homosexual unions on a par with marriage.

At root, what that 4-3 decision, ordering the
legislature to enact a new law sanctioning civil unions
or gay marriage, is about is: Who governs New Jersey? It
is about who decides what law shall be—elected
legislators or judges appointed for life.

In our War of Independence, in which New Jersey was
overrun repeatedly by British troops, at issue was
whether

George III and a Parliament sitting in

London, in which Americans had no voice, would
govern us, or whether we would rule ourselves. From
April 1775 to Yorktown in 1781, Americans fought and
died to end that rule of kings—only to have their meek
and timid heirs submit to a rule of judges.

Let us go back to the

era of Earl Warren that

began in 1954, and consider what, in the span of a
half-century, U.S. judges and Supreme Court justices,
abetted by state jurists, have done to America.

God, Bible study,

prayer and the

Ten Commandments have been ordered out of all public
schools and the public square of a nation that once
proudly boasted of itself as God`s country.

Pornography has been declared protected by the First
Amendment. Cities have been ripped apart, as judges have
ordered students, based on color alone,

bussed across crime-ridden cities to achieve an
artificial racial balance.

Abortion, homosexual sodomy and

naked dancing in public bars have been declared to
be

new constitutional rights.

Of all these outrages and idiocies, one thing may be
said: No legislature, no executive at the state or
federal level would have survived imposing such measures
upon us. They would have been hurled from office at the
next election. When

homosexual marriage was put on the ballot in 13
states in 2004, it was routed in every one by landslides
as great as six to one. America rejects it.

Upon what ground, then, does the New Jersey Supreme
Court stand to order an elected legislature to enact a
law the people do not want? Answer: The court said that
to deny homosexuals the same rights as married couples
is to treat them unequally, and this violates the
Constitution of New Jersey: "Although we cannot find
that a fundamental right to same-sex marriage exists in
this state, the unequal dispensation of rights and
benefits to committed same-sex partners can no longer be
tolerated under our state constitution." [
N.J.
court opens door to gay marriage, by Geoff
Mulvihill, Associated Press, October 25, 2006]

The operative words here are "no longer be
tolerated." What the court is saying is that, though
there is no right to same-sex marriage in New Jersey,
and the state has never voted the rights and benefits to
homosexuals it has for married couples, we, the judges
in our wisdom, declare this to be intolerable.

Therefore, you, the legislators of New Jersey, and
you, Gov. Corzine, are ordered to change the laws of New
Jersey to conform to our idea of equality. A tiny
minority of judges in America now dictates to the Great
Silent Majority.

This is exactly what happened in Massachusetts in
2003. And had Gov. Romney told the Massachusetts Supreme
Court that its 4-3 decision had no constitutional basis,
and that he and the legislature had no intention of
obeying its order, Mitt Romney would be the front-runner
for the Republican nomination in 2008.

When Shay`s Rebellion of farmers broke out in
Massachusetts in 1786,

Thomas Jefferson wrote to

James Madison,

"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a
good thing, and as necessary in the political world as
storms in the physical." It is time for a little
rebellion in New Jersey, and America. For what is taking
place, what has taken place, is a bloodless coup by
judges who have arrogated to themselves the powers of
legislatures to make laws and remake society in their
own image—without recourse to referenda or free
elections.

When judges in New Jersey can order legislators to
write new laws that conform to their ideology, laws the
people have not only not demanded, but viscerally and
violently oppose, we have ceased to be a free country or
a democratic republic.

"Who rules?" That is what is at issue
in New Jersey.

For 50 years, this nation permitted the Warren Court,
and its successors and imitators in the state courts, to
create a body of judge-made law that has altered the
character of our country, very much for the worse.

Again and again, the people have voted for candidates
for president, Congress and governor who promised to
ring down the curtain on this half-century of judicial
tyranny. But still the judges persist in issuing orders
that have no basis either in precedent or in the written
constitutions they have sworn to defend.

Such judges need to be defied and they need to be
impeached. Not obeyed.
