Supreme Court refuses to review unconstitutional spying

The Buck Stops Somewhere Else

"Conservative" Supreme Court Justices run for the hills

rather than address unconstitutional 1984 spying.

Why Conservatism????  -  One has to ask why Conservatives exist. 

The "Conservative" Republican Chief Justice John Roberts rubber stamped Socialist-Fascist Obamacare.  And now the Conservative majority Supreme Court has refused to even review the unconstitutional wholesale spying on and recording of billions of American emails, text messages and phone calls.

The GOP says "vote for us so we can appoint Federal Judges."  OK.  Fair enough.  But then lovers of Liberty get screwed over on vital issues by GOP appointed judges.

The Supreme Court announced Monday morning that it would not be considering at this time a complaint filed months earlier that challenged the legality of the National Security Agency’s dragnet telephone surveillance program.


The high court issued a notice early Monday without comment acknowledging that it would not be weighing in on a matter.  The issue was introduced this past June by a privacy watchdog group after NSA leaker Edward Snowden revealed evidence showing that the United States intelligence agency was collecting metadata pertaining to the phone calls of millions of American customers of the telecommunications company Verizon on a regular basis reports RT News.

That disclosure — the first of many NSA documents leaked by Mr. Snowden — prompted the Washington, DC-based Electronic Privacy Information Center, or EPIC, to ask the Supreme Court to consider taking action that would end the collection of phone records on a major scale.

When EPIC filed their petition in June, they wrote, “We believe that the NSA’s collection of domestic communications contravenes the First and Fourth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and violates several federal privacy laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 as amended.”

“We ask the NSA to immediately suspend collection of solely domestic communications pending the competition of a public rulemaking as required by law. We intend to renew our request each week until we receive your response,” EPIC said.

Five months later, though, the Supreme Court said this week that it would not be hearing EPIC’s plea. A document began circulating early Monday in which the high court listed the petition filed by the privacy advocates as denied.

30,000 Thugs released from prison by Supreme Court

Why Does the GOP Even Exist?

Two Republicans join with four Leftists on the Supreme Court to release 30,000 thugs from prison to prey on honest Americans.

It is a world gone mad.  We have Democrat California Governor Jerry Brown effectively defending the 10th Amendment for the right to run his own state prisons. 

Meanwhile two so-called small government "Conservative" Republicans on the Supreme Court voted with the four Liberals to take control of State prisons and release 30,000 thugs, thieves and rapists from prison.

Republicans keep claiming they support the Constitution while more often than not in Congress or on the courts they eagerly support the growth of the Big Brother Centralized State.

 

In a 6 to 3 ruling the U.S. Supreme Court refused Friday to let California delay the release of thousands of inmates from state prisons to relieve crowding.

In an act of total insanity the Court ignored the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights and ordered the release into the public of tens of thousands of violent criminals.

In June, a lower court ordered California to release about 10,000 inmates — nearly 8 percent of all state prisoners — by the end of the year to improve to improve medical and mental health treatment. Gov. Jerry Brown last month asked the Supreme Court to delay the order, arguing that it would jeopardize public safety.

Brown also blasted the decision Friday, saying, "California must now release upon the public nearly 10,000 inmates convicted of serious crimes, about 1,000 for every city larger than Santa Ana," reports US News NBC.

The legal issue was Brown's request for a stay of a ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for Northern California ordering the state to release about 9,600 inmates in the short term as part of larger proceedings requiring it to reduce its prison population by about 30,000.

The panel's demands, Brown has argued repeatedly, create a serious public safety threat. The state had asked the high court to put the panel's order on hold while an appeal goes forward.

But the Supreme Court was not persuaded. The majority denied Brown's request for a stay without comment.

Justice Antonin Scalia wrote a sharply worded dissent, which Justice Clarence Thomas joined. Justice Samuel Alito also dissented, but he did not join Scalia.

Scalia wrote that he does not believe the federal courts have the authority to order California to remove thousands of inmates from its prison system.

"California must now release upon the public nearly 10,000 inmates convicted of serious crimes — about 1,000 for every city larger than Santa Ana," he wrote. The order, he wrote, goes "beyond the power of the courts."

Your new neighbors thanks to the Court.
The U.S. District Court for Northern California ordered California to release about 9,600
inmates in the short term to end overcrowding as part of larger proceedings requiring it to
reduce its prison population by about 30,000.

We are a Nation of Pussies.
In World War II our brave soldiers (above) had to live in crowded barracks in order to protect the nation from our savage enemies. 
.
But in the "modern" and "enlightened" United Pussy States of America our moronic rulers shiver in fear that rapists, murderers and child molesters might be living in an over crowded prison.  Oh the horror!  How can it be?

It looks like I have awakened in some fucking alternate dimension where only the retarded are allowed to hold office.  

DOMA and Voting Rights - Constitutional Federalism in Action

The Supreme Court Supports the 10th Amendment

The Court upholds the right of the states to control their own

affairs in the areas of election and marriage laws.

By Gary;

The Supreme Court must be doing a good job.  In one week they have managed to both piss off and bring praise from Liberals and Conservatives.

The Court is the last properly operating fragment created by the Federalists at the Constitutional Convention.  So naturally both Big Government Liberals and Conservatives will be angry at the Court at different times for daring to be the third branch of government and operate the way Alexander Hamilton and Federalist Chief Justice John Marshall wanted them to.

Gay Marriage  -  Yes and No

The pro and anti Gay marriage sides along with the media missed what I consider to be the main points of the DOMA ruling.  The ruling represents a victory for the cause of state's rights and the 10th Amendment.

 

The Supreme Court for the first time said the Federal government couldn't discriminate against same-sex couples if their marriage is recognized by a state.

Conservatives argued Gay Marriage
from a religious not Constitutional
point of view.  America is not a
Theocracy where the courts exist
to support Holy doctrine. 

In the case before the court, New York resident Edith Windsor would have been exempt from a Federal estate tax of $363,000 had her late spouse been male.  The Court was simply upholding the marriage laws of the state of New York and equal treatment under the law for all groups.

Ms. Windsor will now get a refund from the IRS of $363,000 plus interest.

Conservatives attack the ruling from a religious, not a legal, point of view. 

The United States is not a theocracy like Saudi Arabia, Iran or Vatican State.  The courts to not exist to support Sharia, Biblical or Buddhist religious teachings.  The U.S. is a secular society with many different points of view from atheist to dozens of very different religions.

Voting Rights

Here is was the Liberals turn to scream at the "evil" Supreme Court for overturning the key elements of the oppressive Voting Rights Act.

Liberals (including most Republicans in Congress) were more than happy to keep fifty year old voting law restrictions in place against selected states.  That way both parties could parade themselves before the voters at election time and boast how "progressive" they are.

Under the Constitution and the Civil Rights Acts passed in the 1860s and 1870s the Congress has the right to protect the rights of the people from oppression by dictatorial state governments.

The Supreme Court rightly decided that using 50 year old data to control selected states for political purposes was unconstitutional.  Again, this was a victory for the 10th Amendment right of states to control their own affairs.  If that power is used to oppress a group then the Federal Courts are there to seek justice.

The 10th Amendment
So-called "Conservatives" are beating the anti-gay marriage drum.  So bet it.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion . . . on a state by state basis that is.  The Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA effectively upholds the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights. 
.
The Court is saying that an All-Powerful Federal Government cannot discriminate against or unfairly tax people legally married under state laws.  This is yet another case where so-called "small government" Conservatives want the Federal Government to dictate policy to the states.  The ruling is actually a victory for Constitutional Federalism.

The Federalist Papers #78
"The interpretation of the laws is the proper and peculiar province of the courts. A constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by the judges, as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning, as well as the meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body."
Alexander Hamilton

The Suicide of the United States - American Elites Turn over the Nation to Hispanic Foreigners

RIP USA 1776 - 2013

Both the Liberal and Conservative political Elites hate their own culture

and do everything in their power to import millions of new people into

the US, re-distribute the wealth to them and grant them political power

over American citizens of Hispanic, African, Asian and European heritage.

Insanity  -  The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot on their own require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make signing up easier.

Liberal and Conservative justices locked arms and voted 7-2 to throw out Arizona's voter-approved requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the Federal "Motor Voter" voter registration law.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the court's ruling.

Self Loathing  -  The over educated political elite snobs in Washington hate their own nation and culture.

You see this hate with Congressional act after act to undermine American workers and push jobs and businesses to relocate to Mexico or Asia.  You also see it in the endless bipartisan pandering to a mostly Hispanic wave of immigration.

All of American society must bow down to one ethnic group in the form of employment, welfare, bilingual education, serving on juries, bilingual food labels, bilingual restaurant menus, driver's licenses for illegals and now even voting in elections.

Somehow immigrants from Russia, Japan, India or Nigeria can manage on their own.  The Washington Elites have chosen Hispanics as the "official" favored race of the United States.

And the moronic, mouth-breathing American voters just roll over and reelect the same bastards of both parties who are screwing them over.

"Black Americans need not apply."
.
Democrats and Republicans pander to Hispanic foreigners while African Americans citizens experience massive unemployment. Looks to me like pro-Hispanic and anti-Black racism.
.
Democrats and many Republicans are falling all over each other to both import and legalize millions of new workers when technology and outsourcing are abolishing jobs faster than they can be created.  Democrats are looking for welfare state voters while many Republicans are lackeys of the Chamber of Commerce that is looking for endless new immigrants in low wage and high tech jobs in order to drive down wages.
