Black Robed Tyrants (Strike Again) - By T. L. Farlow

johnny2k.com — The Supreme Court of California once again proved that the people having the freedom of choice is a thing of the past. How much more judicial tyranny will you bear before the strain is too great? Is it time to take a stand? Given the chance, our Founding Fathers went out on a limb to fight for Liberty. How will history describe you? As "Sheeple"?

  • johnny2k, on 05/16/2008, -2/+12The following is from a great article I found this morning called "Judicial Tyranny in California:
    ( http://digg.com/politics/Judicial_Tyranny_in_Calif ... - http://blog.infinitemonkeysblog.com/archive/003029 ... )

    ~ QUOTE ~
    Free people govern themselves through the legislative process. A judge in a free society is charged with putting his personal feelings about such laws aside and -- with rare exceptions -- acceding to the consent of the governed. Unfortunately, only the minority opinion in this case by Justice Marvin R. Baxter cared about such principles:

    "Nothing in our Constitution, express or implicit, compels the majority’s startling conclusion that the age-old understanding of marriage — an understanding recently confirmed by an initiative law — is no longer valid. California statutes already recognize same-sex unions and grant them all the substantive legal rights this state can bestow. If there is to be a further sea change in the social and legal understanding of marriage itself, that evolution should occur by similar democratic means. The majority forecloses this ordinary democratic process, and, in doing so, oversteps its authority."

    And when a court so oversteps its authority, it is engaging in judicial tyranny.

  • GodzGurl59, on 05/16/2008, -3/+8Well, guys, unless the people rise up and take control of their state this will stand. And unless we pray for a revival and for God to intervene like we will die if He doesn't then this is the way it will go. And we muxt stop believing the lie that this is what the Bible says...that things will get worse and worse, for the fact is everywhere the Gospel has had influence........THINGS GET BETTER if we do our part by BELIEVING in the power of God. That power resides in His people! Faith is what we need....faith in the power and promises of God, not the power of the enemy!

      AND (I must add) Holy living so that He will hear our prayers.

      from the Word, "If my people WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear their prayer and heal their land."

    "If impeachment is not soon restored to its original role as a tool to reign in the judiciary, then Thomas Jefferson's portentous warning will become established reality:

    'The Constitution...is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary which they may twist and shape into any form they please'."

  • animalwheeler, on 05/16/2008, -1/+8I wonder, if the same thing that happened in Oregan, will happen in California.
    Signature collected, then state tells them "oh, lots of these aren't usable, so you are still short, even though you turned well more signatures than needed.".

    The sample in Oregan fell five votes short, with officials releasing it was 116 votes (of the 55,179 needed) short overall.
    Many of these voters, when showing up in person were not allowed to have their signature counted, even after it was determined their signatures should have counted *in the first place*.


    http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTI ...
    fta:" "When the (new) referendum was submitted to the Oregon Secretary of State on Sept. 26, signatures exceeded the required number by more than 6,000. However, the Secretary of State announced there were not enough signatures to sustain the referendum. The evaluated 'sample' was said to be only five signatures short. If you wonder how this could happen, you aren't alone. As it turns out, there is a very clear explanation – many of the signatures were wrongfully rejected," Sears said.

    "Signatures were invalidated for allegedly not matching their voter registration cards, being illegible, or coming from unregistered voters. But according to ADF attorneys who examined the signatures, several of those kicked out *did* match, *were* legible, and the affected voters actually were registered. In other words, many valid signers were ignored," he continued.

    Clerks have "adamantly"' resisted efforts by signers to authenticate their signatures. "One county clerk even told a rejected signer, in person, and to their face, 'tough nuggets,'" Sears said.

    ADF Senior Legal Counsel Austin R. Nimocks, who is working on the challenge to the legislation, said county clerks need to fulfill their duty, "which is to make sure that every citizen's voice counts."

    "Our country is founded on the basic principle of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is un-American that Oregon voters are being denied the right to have their voice count in an important referendum," he said. "

    Repeat in California???????
  • Christinewjc, on 05/16/2008, -2/+1The night before the decision came out, I wrote this:

    "Speaking of pastors having the free speech right to state Bible verses - which state unequivocally that homosexual behavior is sinful - tomorrow the CA Supreme Court will hand down it’s decision on whether or not to overturn Proposition 22 (which was voted on by the people in 2000 to recognize that marriage is defined as the union of one man and one woman in CA) and allow homosexual “marriage.”

    Knowing how liberal the members of the court are, I would not be a bit surprised if they decide to ignore and trump the votes of 60% of the people in order to push their own ideological agreement with those proponents of same-sex “marriage” on the public in this state.

    I pray that Prop. 22 ISN’T overturned, but I fear that this liberal leftist court will not be able to resist the opportunity to do so.

    If they do such a thing, it may be “legal” in CA to “marry” a person of the same sex; but it will NEVER BE MORALLY RIGHT IN THE EYES OF GOD. God’s laws DO NOT CHANGE!

    *******

    I just knew that these four radicals in black robes would not be able to resist overturning the will of millions of people in CA who voted in favor of Proposition 22.

    I would not call it a “ban on gay marriage” as many are doing. The Prop. 22 vote was to KEEP THE THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE INTACT! Marriage is DEFINED as the union of one man and one woman. The proposition stated: Marriage will be recognized as the union of one man and one woman in the state of California. Yet, four judges can overturn it eight years later? That’s insane!

    How ironic is it that this Extreme Court has done exactly what John McCain warned about in his speech yesterday morning regarding radical judges “legislating from the bench.” This court has overturned the will of the people in California. It is evil and shameful!!

    I have been sounding the alarm bells about this awful development happening in CA ever since Massachusetts’ loonie judges did the same thing.

    I have also been sharing how biblical prophecy fits in with this issue. Jesus did say that the signs of the times would be “as in the days of Noah” and the “Days of Lot.” http://www.talkwisdom.com/forums/showthread.php?t= ...

    Jesus likened the days of his return unto the days of Lot. What do we know about the days of Lot other than the rampant homosexuality that marked it? Isn’t it odd that we do not know much more about it? I do not think so. In fact, I believe that it is exactly what Jesus was referring to.
