Anarchist Perez
I was the first pundit in America that told you Barack Obama would be President. I predicted Trump wouldn't fire Carrie Prejean. And I told you Adam Lambert would not be the American Idol...
This one I'm not nearly as sure about...
I did tell you that I felt the California Supreme Court would likely take up the measure of the "constitutionality" of a Constitutional Amendment. (Something they have no authority to do.) I also have said repeatedly that if they did, expect them to rule against the people of California. (Especially when their own representation in Jerry Brown sides against them as well...)
Everyone remembers the feces throwing monkeys that were hitting little old ladies going to church last fall, simply because the radical activists wanted to change the definition of marriage that has stood since the beginning of time. Even when the people of California overwhelmingly TWICE voted for the definition of marriage to remain what it had always been, the tree-dwelling bottom feeders couldn't resist in heaving poo at people who didn't agree with them.
Lovely people you've got representing your side Perez.
As the news spread today that the Supreme Court will announce its decision on the "constitutionality" of a piece of the Constitution, large groups of the poo-flingers are gathering critical mass to, as one hyperventilating, gender confused, blogger who despises his own Hispanic heritage put it, the radicals will "rally all over the country, regardless of the outcome!"
Meaning, if they lose look for mob action and lots of flying poo.
These are the least rational, most hyperbolic, overly emotional, drama queens in history.
But the people of America need to understand what the court will be saying in ruling on such a matter. For in fact it doesn't matter nearly as much which way the ruling turns out on Tuesday, as it does that the court decided it had a say in the matter to begin with.
The Constitution of a nation, company, or church is a sacred document. In our nation nothing is allowed to infringe upon the words--particularly direct words--that state specific ideas, concepts, or legal principles.
The Constitution trumps the courts, the legislature, and the executive.
But not now, at least not in California...
The California Supreme Court has now placed itself, not under the direction of the state constitution, but in sovereignty above it. The California Supreme Court in doing so is willing to literally shred the only authority that the people of California ultimately are sworn to obey.
So today the Court believes it has the right to override one part of the Constitution, next week they could believe they have the right to override all of it. And the precedent would already be in place to give themselves permission too.
The Constitutional process for the people of California to adjust their own Constitution is arduous. There are specific thresholds that have to be met, every step of the way, in order for an amendment to be ratified and for it to be "constitutional" in its authority over the people. For that very reason the designers of California's constitutional republic specifically prevented the courts from being allowed to change it randomly, especially once the people had spoken.
By reaching in their desk drawer, taking out a pair of scissors and deciding to snip out the amendment that defines marriage--yet had been arrived at in a just and appropriate manner, as so defined by that same constitution--the justices are making themselves the most powerful authorities in the state.
In addition, and most importantly, they have now completely invalidated ALL constitutional authority in the area of the State of California's jurisdiction.
In fact a sound argument could be made that for the court to invalidate the constitutional text, that had been arrived at in a constitutional means, that essentially there is no more governing authority for the state.
It is the constitution after all that establishes the rules for the government, the process of taxation, the enforcement of the laws, and protection of the people.
In tearing that document up... which they did the moment they undertook the hearing of the case, they have initiated anarchy. The tyrants in black robes will now be using their bully powers to manipulate the residents of California en masse.
It is a Constitutional crisis, and one that effects the entire nation.
Even if their ruling on Tuesday reinforces the will of the people (and on that point I'm exceedingly skeptical) the justices of the California Supreme Court should be replaced. They are exceeding their governing authority, and thereby jeopardizing the rule of law for all Californians.
Of course that's what The Perez Doughboy wanted from the beginning...
