I realize that the foregoing treatise I have posted here is rather lengthy, but I am concerned enough by the trends the events listed show that I was compelled to write it. I find it gratifying that my opinions are shared by many others. For example:

"...[T]he unelected, unaccountable judiciary, who are appointed for life, have become so powerful that no one can rein them in or challenge their determination to recast this country, except the Congress. In July, they declared sodomy to be a right protected by the Constitution, ruling out morality as a basis for law, and making it likely that the definition of marriage is about to include same-sex 'marriage' and then, by natural progression, marriage for any number of participants and both genders. ...[T]he federal judiciary is out of control. It is not subject to checks and balances, intended by the Framers. The Congress has the Constitutional right to limit the power of the court, and it must do so. Senators must be urged to confirm conservative nominees to the bench who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not create these 'court-made laws.' Specifically, in this instance, Congress should pass legislation immediately to protect the Ten Commandments from any and all assaults by the Court, and to guarantee the right of children to say the Pledge of Allegiance, among other protections of faith. If we fail at this moment of destiny, we will become a secularized nation like Canada or the continent of Europe, whose laws are based on secular humanism, or worse, on post-modernism, which holds that there is no truth, no basic right or wrong, nothing good or bad, nothing evil or noble, nothing moral or immoral. Law then will be a whimsical standard that shifts with the sands of time."

--James C. Dobson

"For half a century the fanciful tailors of revisionist jurisprudence have been working to strip the public sector naked of every vestige of God and morality. They have done so based on fake readings and inconsistent applications of the First Amendment. They have said it is all right for the U. S. Supreme Court to publicly place the Ten Commandments on its walls, for Congress to open in prayer and for state capitols to have chaplains -- as long as the words and ideas communicated by such do not really mean what they purport to communicate. They have trotted out before the public using words never mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, like 'separation of church and state,' to advocate, not the legitimate jurisdictional separation between the church and state, but the illegitimate separation of God and state."

--Roy S. Moore, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama

"There are those who think Judge Moore is an extremist and he may be but it should be pointed out that moderates never accomplish anything; it is the extremists on either end of the spectrum who change the world. The American Revolution was won by extremists. ... Extremism, as Barry Goldwater pointed out, is no vice when it is exercised in defense of liberty. Judge Moore apparently agrees with that assertion. He may lose this battle but in the process he may rally enough troops, persons who ordinarily sit on their hands, to win the war. It wouldn't be the first time."

--Lyn Nofziger

And, I haven't yet finished compiling the words of past great political leaders of this nation who have long seen the impending danger - now being visited upon us full force - of an arrogant, aloof judiciary devoid of the very checks and balances our Fore Fathers felt were essential to prevent the very situations we now endure daily. Congress has the power and Constitutional authority to change these trends, but they obviously lack the degree of statesmanship and intestinal fortitude required to rein in an out-of-control and out of contact judiciary. We need to tell the Supreme Court and all the lower courts that Marshall was wrong. The law is what "We The People" say it is via elected representatives less interested in self perpetuation in office and partisan politics who do the people's business they are hired and paid to do. Then we need to hire those kinds of representatives and get rid of the clowns we have there now.

If they continue to fail us, they may just find themselves facing an outraged citizenry willing to take up arms against our modern day 18th century Parliament and latter day King's Courts that were the midwives of the First American Revolution.
