Constitutional Restoration Act...

This bill seeks to make a few, but important alterations to the federal judiciary of the United States.

Judge Moore explains the proposal much more eloquently than can I.

I am seeing quite a few websites and blogs popping up whose stated agenda extends beyond partisan politics and seeks the truth wherever it hides its oft ugly head, including this one. That blog claims that the CRA:

• Threatens with “impeachment and conviction” any judge who dares to uphold church-state separation

• This bill had 39 co-sponsors including D-Zell Miller and they represent the hard core fundamentalists that want to tear down the wall of separation between church and state.

• The polarization is not between religious and secular groups but is more accurately between people for a separation of church and state and those that want to write God into the Constitution. Many religious leaders are for a separation so to say it is just between secular and religious groups. That is overly simplistic.

Now, as I see it, the federalist principles held by the men who founded this nation have been violated since the Civil War began. Aside from that debate, the strength and greatness of this nation began with a clear recognition of INDIVIDUAL, unalienable rights. Perhaps the men who wrote the Constitution were Christians, perhaps not, but in either case the underlying principle cannot be denied.

Without the People, government would not exist. Without government, all People in America would retain their rights to self defense, private property, etc.

One must ask then, what is the source of these rights? If they are not handed down to People by government, from whence do they arise?

Some believe they come from God, some believe they are inherent to human beings. I am confused by the latter, for I cannot answer one simple question. How does man retain the right to live and private property but not whales or dogs? What is the difference?

Ultimately, the paranoid atheists on the left are flailing in the wrong direction, against a cause they ought support. An out of control judiciary which seeks to make its business every facet of human life threatens the atheist just as it threatens the religous fundamentalist.

Perhaps the risk to the atheist is greater than to the fundamentalist, as he believes that another life awaits unto which he shall pass at the conclusion of this one; whereas the atheist presumably conducts himself as though life on Earth is his one and only existence, and as such must maximize his enjoyment in the present because his life is finite and one day will forever end.

The bottom line is simple, the 2nd, 4th, 9th and 10th amendments are basically dead, and the federal courts seem unwilling to stem the tide of the destruction of the others. Until the judges who make law from the bench, while accountable to noone, are reigned in or impeached, our republic shall continue down the path paved by the once great Roman empire many centuries ago.
