Since all the hoopla has died down a bit after the
Supreme Court decision, Boumediene v. Bush,
let us take another look at the way in which people
reacted after hearing the 5-4 decision. When I first
heard of the decision, I was returning home after
a long exasperating week in Washington, D.C.
This was one of those times when traveling in
my SUV was more appealing than catching a
flight with one of the government controlled
airliners.
While returning home, I listened to numerous
talk radio hosts in different areas. What was
much more interesting than the hosts were the
callers that were calling to make comments on
the different talk radio shows. After years of
asking where were the American people when
judges have made outlandish decisions and
elected officials have totally gone against their
constituencies, the American people finally
found their voices. Caller after caller would
expound on how concerned and incensed they
were over the Supreme Court ruling.
For those of you that may have missed the decision,
the Supreme Court ruled that alien enemy prisoners,
waging a jihad against the American people and
captured by our military in a war authorized by
Congress, have a right—under our Constitution—to
petition our courts for their release. So doing,
the Court invalidated laws it had only recently
implored Congress to enact, laws that provided
these prisoners with generous protections never
previously extended to enemy operatives in
American history.
Yes, the Supreme Court of the United States gave
the enemy of the United States the same Constitutional
Rights as that of an American Citizen. Without a
doubt, the opinion of the Justices was shocking.
The overwhelming response of the American people
on the decision was something that has needed to
take place for years. How refreshing to hear the voices
of the American people speaking out against such a
precarious ambiguous decision.
This ruling not only stepped over the Constitutional lines
but set a 232-year historical precedent. These so-called
Constitutional scholars gave enemies of this nation, an
enemy that harms, maim, and kills our military, the same
Constitutional Rights of the American people, the
very people the enemy combatants despise. These
five justices ruled in favor of the very enemy who
supports Islamic-Fascism. Please remember the
Islamic Fascist were the Jihadist that attacked
America on 911. These Jihadists intentionally
murdered over 3,000 innocent people. Never
forget that once a Jihad is declared, the Jihad
continues until all infidels are dead or the ones
declaring the Jihad are dead.
The main question that comes to mind is where
did five (5) justices who went to law school and
are suppose to be Constitutional Scholars come
up with such a callow extraneous decision? Many
believe the decision was politically motivated and
and aimed at President Bush, but in doing so,
such a precedent has placed the American people in
harms way once again.
Without a doubt, there was an immense amount of
satisfaction listening to Americans voicing their opinions
that day. Even though, the satisfaction was immense,
there is a down side to this whole sad sordid scenario.
Let us be painfully honest, the American people have
allowed this to take place. The American people sat
back and allowed Liberal Justices to be placed on the
Supreme Court. The very men and women who made
such an absurd decision believe they have the right to
legislate from the bench and override the desires of
the American people.
If you are tired of the rulings such as Boumediene
v. Bush, then get busy, because there will be many
more rulings where those came from if Barak Hussein
Obama is elected. Barak Hussein Obama will only
place more Liberal Judges on the Court who will
legislate from the bench and tell the American people
their Constitutional Rights do not matter.Never forget,
the power to legislate was given to the people. The
people elect their representative and the representative
are to pass laws that protect the people and secure the
United States. This may seem simple, but that is how this
American republic was setup to work - For the People
and By the People. Okay American people, are you
now outraged enough to stop this road that is being
paved to Socialism?
Conservatives wake-up, get out and take back your
local and state governments. Young people, if you
do not understand what is taking place, ask someone
who has served this country admirably for advice.
There is not any doubt the Supreme Court Ruling was
truly a sad day in American history, but this can be
stopped. Call your representative and demand that
your elected official protect the citizens of this great
country. Afterwards, make sure your representatives
truly represent your views.
If they do not represent your views, vote them out of
office and put someone in office that represents your
views. Most of all, stop letting the minorities rule.
Know that your vote counts, your ideas count, you
as an American Citizen counts. Now the only thing
left to do is to, "Just Do It”!
