The United States Supreme Court again demonstrated why an overhaul is needed of the highest court in the land, and all other federal and state courts.
The courts do not listen to the people anymore, they rule them. A judge is a nobleman and a justice is a duke, lord, or a black knight in somewhat rusted armor.
The time has come with the refusal of the United States Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of the United States, to overhaul that organ of government.
Most all the several states had laws and state constitutional protections against being compelled to accept same sex "marriages." These laws were voted in by the majority of the people, to protect the sanctity of marriage and its extension, the family.
But judges now seek to invalidate not just fair and just laws of the land, but have the gall to lecture us and tell us we are not tolerant of those who shop for the right judges and justices to hear cases and make arbitrary and capricious rulings with no basis in US legal, traditional, state, or community standards.
They hold on to their lifetime jobs and bark "royal" decrees at the uneducated "masses." The country is a mess. We have an imperial President who invokes decrees bypassing the Congress. The Congress is impotent, but it own choice to let the Executive and Judicial branches run amok with no consequences to these oligarchists for their actions.
The people on the other hand are hitting the tipping point and things will soon become not urgent, but an emergency to throw every bum in all three branches out, maybe at the same time. I hope it does not come to this. You cannot legislate the heart, mind, might and soul of a nation.
We who hold on to traditional values that are time tested and have worked for thousands of years are just supposed to yield the floor to the various left wing and amoral police lobbies. If not we will be put in "our place."
We who are holding on to principles of majority rule "tempered" not steamrolled by majority rights will be vilified whether in the majority or not.
Its time for our "diaper wearing" Supreme Court to answer to the people and to God. I propose the following.
1. Every supreme court judge appointed will serve 10 years and then must step down regardless of his or her age.
2. All federal judges will serve 5 year terms and will be subject to reappointment through a retention election in their jurisdiction after one term. If the circuit court and district court judges cannot retain a confidence vote of the electorate they will step down after their term is ended and cannot be reappointed and confirmed in that jurisdiction. The President and the Senate will then appoint and confirm new judges to fill vacancies. All federal judge vacancies that need immediate filling will be filled by the Governor and Legislature of the federal district of the state or Council of Governors for circuit court justices in which the vacancy or vacancies arise until the President and Senate can nominate and confirm replacements.
No federal judge shall serve more than three terms or 15 years. A federal judge cannot be re nominated for the same bench in which he or she held office after retiring or removal. They can be nominated for another jurisdiction or higher bench upon nomination of the President and consent of the Senate.
3. All federal judges at the district level will account annually to the governor and legislature of the state in which they reside to give an accounting of their rulings and justifications. If they be circuit court judges then each justice will account the same annually to the governors and legislatures of the states in their appellate jurisdictions.
4. All Supreme Court Justices, including the Chief Justice, will account to the President of the United States and both houses of Congress annually to justify their opinions, rulings, and actions. Upon hearing of the accountings the President will recommend to Congress a resolution of confidence in that justice's service and the Senate and House of Representatives may concur, be silent, or take lawful action up and to impeachment.
5. A Supreme Court Justice may be given a recommendation of no confidence by the President of the United States and the Congress then will consider lawful sanctions of that justice for failure to be a steward of his or her office and may extend to impeachement by the House of Representatives and Conviction and removal from office by the Senate according to the laws and Constitution of the United States.
The following changes will make the judges more politically accountable to the people, the several states, and to the Executive and Legislative bodies of the nation.
Corruption will be able to be dealt with as quickly as time allows and the people can redress the judges and justices of the lower federal courts through retention election.
Our Founding Fathers sought out wise men to carry on the task of defending the laws and the Constitution and the protection of all people, not just minorities who have redress issues nor arbitrarily throw out laws of the people with which they disagree.
The states should consider a similar model for the appointment and retention of judges. But state courts are the jursidiction of the states in which they are created and are free and independent organs of the federal system except as defined by the laws of appellate jurisprudence defined in the Constitution.
If we do not do something to hold the judges and yes all political officers of our federal and state governments accountable they will eventually become the nightmare so many hundred years ago feared by the Founders of the United States.
For the territories of the United States Congress shall make all necessary redress of federal judges in those areas until statehood or the affected territories independence from the United States is achieved. Territories are the jurisdiction of Congress and the national legislature owes it to these people in our territories that are not states to remedy their causes for judicial accountability and stewardship.
Failure to act will further insulate the judges at all levels of government to become oppressors rather than champions of the people and the laws that govern our nation.
