 Antonin Scalia, at the moment a Supreme Court Justice - is
neither sentient, nor supreme in his latest attempt to justify his
obscenely close relationship with the Vice-President of the United States.
All of this Scalia chose to 'explain' to the public in a 21-page document
meant to excuse his personal failure to faithfully exercise the duties of
his office, in an action now before the court on which he sits. But this
rant of Scalia's only re-opens a much greater transgression committed by
him and four others on December 12, 2000.
When confronted on his 21-page justification Scalia said: "If
it is reasonable to think that a Supreme Court justice can be bought so
cheap, the nation is in deeper trouble than I had imagined."
Indeed! Or as a friend put it: "I truly
wonder how a supposedly intelligent person of justice, can state the
above, and truly believe that the outcome of this hearing will not affect
the personal fortune or personal freedom of Cheney. If Scalia's I.Q. and
ethics are no higher than this, he should resign immediately for the good
of this nation. He should immediately recuse himself or be forcibly
removed by any and all provisions for doing so."
When the Supreme-Gang-of-Five voted to appoint George W.
Bush and Dick Cheney to the offices of president and vice-president
respectively on 12-12-2000, they opened a door to the vestibule of Hell
itself.
The reason that the framers of the constitution created
a separations of powers act was to insure that the three branches of power
remained separate – each was to act as a check upon the other two. In no
instance was the Supreme Court ever to have been allowed to interfere with
an election for the Presidency of the United States. This was by law, to
be decided by the Congress, and specifically should not have been decided
by the Supreme Court.
The reason for this is obvious, especially now. Because
when and if any case is brought before the same court, against those whom
they have essentially appointed to their offices, then the Supreme Court
cannot be expected to act without bias in hearing any case against this
administration; the court itself is directly responsible for the rise of
Bush & Cheney to their offices in the first place.
The above is in direct violation of the US Constitution and
is a violation of the oaths, sworn by the justices, to protect this nation
from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. When the Bush campaign
brought their case to the court in 2000, the court should have
constitutionally declined to hear it.
By not doing so they have broken the covenant between
the government and the consent of the governed.
Their actions on that day permanently shattered all
possibility of any semblance of impartiality, wherever and whenever this
administration's officers are challenged before this Supreme Court of the
United States.
By inference, their transgression on that day (which
should live in infamy) also makes a mockery of all the lower courts of
this land. When the US Supreme Court is on-the-record as being biased -
because the Bush-Cheney administration was installed by them - then all
the lower courts are by association tarnished and are equally without
merit. If the general public were to understand this fact, there would be
a public outcry that would not stop until the Gang-of-Five were removed
from this court. If the Supreme Court does not have to obey the law,
neither does anyone else. Citizens have the right to expect a fair and
unbiased hearing before all our courts, and that expectation has now been
publicly and shamelessly stolen from each and every one of us. This is not
only illegal it is unconscionable.
Given the above circumstances, it is hardly surprising
that Scalia is shocked that the public might think that just because he
chooses to go hunting with Dick Cheney - and happens to fly there on Air
Force Two - that some favoritism might actually creep into his judicial
decisions. http://www.nytimes.com/
As the AP said today, "His decision cannot be
appealed to the full court, because on March 1 the justices issued an
order saying that Scalia alone would rule on the Sierra Club's
motion."
Much has been made about all the lies and the devious
doings of this administration. Part of the reason for the foreboding of
the public has to do with this very unethical and illegal course by which
Cheney & Bush came to be in those offices at all.
Many want to take back this nation, to again be able to
live in an open and free society, with ALL our constitutional freedoms
restored, and our international reputation in the world community on the
mend, instead of being dragged along by the Pirates who now control the
Congress, the White House, and the Courts. Perhaps if the public were to
address this obvious stain upon the credibility of our nation - we might
all begin to find our way back to something like a legal and respectable
government.
Now, who among the members of congress or the legal
profession will begin this dangerous but necessary and cathartic process?
