The Anti-Constitution Republicans
The religious conservative Republicans want to destroy this Democracy by undermining the Judicial Branch.

Note to all Democrats running in the next election. Use this idea against the most extreme Republican Law-Makers or Activist Congressmen.

3. I think it's funny that the most anti-constitutional conservatives
call themselves the Constitution Party. Go figure.

4. It's amazing how little respect these fools have for the Constitution
It's nice that they are giving our side books full of reasons why they can't handle being in power!

6. The Constitution is already gone
Edited on Tue Mar-29-05 01:13 AM by teryang
In fact, it only continues to exist in the minds of a significant number of judges, mostly state judges. The attack on judges is the final attack on the Constitution.

Ironically, the fact that state judges once elected or appointed are rarely affected by subsequent elections has worked in their favor. They are in effect, the Constitutions last stand, fighting rear guard actions all over the country on a daily basis.

Cutting their budgets, and overwhelming them with numbers is one way that the executive and legislatures render the Constitution irrelevant and turn courtrooms into little more than administrative mills, where productivity and the requirement to "move cases along" render the Constitution and the law irrelevant inconveniences. The Judiciary and the Constitution is being drowned in the bathtub.

The Schiavo episode was meant to further discredit the Constitutional form of our government. That is a dangerous PR method, but the value and integretity of our legal system is dropping on a daily basis because it is under fiscal attack by the Republican party all the time.
