We stand on no high moral plateau in our time.

We must reject dictatorship in whatever form it takes - and especially when it rears its head in our own midst on the bench.
Alan Keyes
Image
It is the absence of bars that makes a beast free - but only the truth can make a man free.

There is a difference between constitutional government and judicial dictatorship, and I think it's time we remembered that our Constitution was not put together in order to establish the sovereignty of the judges, it was framed in order to guarantee the sovereignty of the people.

Rights come from God and only from God.

The right response when, in the army, you are given an unlawful order, is to refuse that order. The right response of a chief executive in this state and in this nation, when faced with an order by a court that he conscientiously believes violates the constitution he is sworn to respect, is to refuse their order!
