Posted on April 16, 2012 at 9:54pmJudicial activism by defintion is bias. That is why Kagan should have recused herself. She was instrumental in the writting of the bill that they passed. She will be biased. Watch, you will see.

Posted on April 6, 2012 at 12:49amSo many courts are being bogged down with so many issues and the Obamaites are causing even more to break the back of the Judicial systems in this country as well as the financial systems. They have a great plan going, but these 9 will come together and swift the Truth out shown in the Constitution. They sort of check and balance each other. No agendas allowed. The interpretation of the Law whatever its end is what they do.

Posted on April 6, 2012 at 12:42amThere was a big thing going on over if there was a Bill of Rights then it would imply that there would be government would be able to imply what rights people did not have. There were those who wanted to make sure the rights of people were upheld, but a list of the Bill of Rights may cause the government to say this or that right was not covered in the bill of rights. So there was the above statement at the beginning of the Bill of Rights: ““The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”” — Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The others meaning rights the people already had. They freaking meant it too.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 1:50pmI’d like to see Real News tackle Journalist Activism. And isn’t all Journalism activist in nature? It’s a matter of having the correct balance.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 4:36pmNo, real journalism is most assuredly not activism. The reason you are asking the question is that this nation has not seen real journalism since the Progressives took over.
Real, hoest journalism is simple: who, what, when, where, why, and how. It gives you just the verifiable facts and allows you to base your opinion on the facts. The job of the editor was to ensure that there was no bias in how the facts were presented.
Everything else that today’s “journalists” throw in was known at one time as “yellow journalism.” What today’s editors do by intentionally biasing the presentation is called propaganda.
There is huge difference between opinions presented as opinions and biased reporting and editing presented as “journalism”, be it in print, radio, or video.
The way you recognize propaganda from journalism is by the embellishment added between the facts, e.g. “White racist Zimmerman shoots Martins, a black child, for no reason“ and then showing an old photo of the 17 year old black ”child“ when he was 12 years old vs ”Zimmerman shoots Martins”.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 11:06amThe Supreme Court is not above the law. As with all courts, the justis’s/judges shall serve as long as they can perform their constituttional duties as sworn to when elected or appointed. They can be removed by appropriate action as stated by OUR Constitution. These are NOT there until they die.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 1:04pmExactly The SCOTUS is made up of 9 people . People with ideologies and non omnipotent. They can make mistakes or flats out pass ruling that are Unconstitutional. Fact is every single agency that works outside of Congressional approval is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Only Congress was given the right to levy taxes on the U.S. CITIZENRY. Every fine or fee placed on our people and business that isn’t first approved by Congress is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The supreme court hasn’t done a thing to stop these injustices in the last 40 years. The system has failed us and our public servents are fast becoming tyrants.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 1:40pm@JohnJamison. Exactly right. Not one agency, FDA, EPA, FCC, DOE, are constitutional. Not one fine or tax or regulation that any of these agencies create are constitutional. Anything that emanates from them should be struck down, repealed and dismantled.
And I’ll agree that the 9th Amendment protects privacy rights.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 4:30pmThey will be there until they resign or a rule of law changes for them to serve limited terms. This limited term may not be such a good idea, as it seem it would. Those old dudes and dudettes know the laws and to interpret the intent of the laws. The more I have though about it, the more it makes sense for these people to serve for life because politics cannot touch them. They are above politics. Politics can have no power over their decisions. The forefathers saw this coming, and they were much more learned and far seeing than I am. We need to really know our original history and the real Constitution and study that in these times where many lawyers will twist the Truth and abuse this country for their agandas by our own laws if we are ignorant of them and the intents in spirit these laws were meant to be used.

Posted on April 6, 2012 at 12:53amThey are there until the other Justices would have to decide one or the other is not fit, able or sane enough to perform their duties. They would have to initiate an action and have other Justices agree. Then if the Justice did not resign, they would have to move forward through the proper channels to be sure. The President cannot fire them, they do not have to answer politically to anyone.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 11:31amI think I pretty much have to agree with this. As long as a condition or right hinges upon interfering with no one else’s rights or conditions, then it passes muster. Many of the founders wanted this in the Constitution just for this fact. They didn’t want the enumerated rights to be the only ones because they might inadvertently miss one. So, I think I have to disagree with the guy in the video saying there are no other rights. Of course, there is no “right” to health care because that infringes upon someone else’s rights.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 3:00amThe SCOTUS primary job is to interpret case law strictly under the constitution. Each justice take an oath to uphold the law under the constitution. Clearly the liberal justices ignore their oath and rule by ideology, the conservative justices tend to abide by the constitution. Activism is when the 4 liberal hags on the Supreme Court will find a way to save ObamaCare regardless of the constitution..

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 1:41amLeaking SCOTUS, Sinking Obamacare
(Late Tuesday, Judge Jerry Smith of the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals demanded that the Department of Justice immediately produce a letter of explanation regarding the president’s recent criticism of the United State Supreme Court “stating specifically, and in detailed reference to those statements, what the authority is in the federal courts in this regard in terms of judicial review.” He added, “The letter needs to be at least three pages, single-spaced and it needs to be specific.” The demand was reported by Fox News and on ABC’s blog but nowhere else in the mainstream media.)
There’s only one rationale for President Barack Hussein Obama using the occasion of a visit by heads of state to try to intimidate the Supreme Court into deciding that Obamacare is constitutional: He got a tip that the Court will trash the Individual Mandate, if not the entire 2700 page mess that is the “Affordable Care Act.”
Canada’s Stephan Harper and Mexico’s Felipe Calderon attended a presser at the White House on Monday to discuss NAFTA, trade, security, etc. and were treated to an exhibition of Chicago-style bullying against the highest court in the land by their “constitutional scholar” host. It must have made them think Obama had gone off the deep end when he launched into a pre-emptive attack on SCOTUS’ authority and integrity.
The president’s salvo was replete with distortions and outright lies compar

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 1:04amThe core tenet of community organizing is activism and the manipulation of centralized power from the majority to the minority. We are witnessing how fragile the separation of powers and constitution are when viewed as mere hurdles not road blocks. The Machiavellian ego has little use for honorable leadership over authoritarian rule.
The SCOTUS can be ideologically loaded to remove balance on the scales of blind justice. Quite obvious with statements like “Court is where policy is made” verses applying the law without prejudice. We might as well remove the blindfold from the Statue of Liberty and tilt the scale with the political winds as a reminder to all who enter.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 2:59amSorry Luke but the three branches were created equal to give balance to government. If what you said was true then congress could pass a law disbanding the Supreme Court and the Executive Branch for that matter. Obama thought that by having both the House and Senate it allowed him the ability to pass what ever law he wanted with no checks. The Judicial Branch is getting ready to fulfill the duties it was created to do; weigh the Constitutionality of a bill that was passed into law.
