Supreme Court Mullahs (5 lawyers) Order National Fatwa on Global Warming

[maxparrish]

As expected by those of us attuned to the five Supreme liberal politician-lawyers that run the Supreme Ruling Council of America, a new Fatwa has been issued to the people's policy makers madating a war on Global Warming.


And as would be expected, the Fatwa five needed a new theological epiphany of the meaning in the people's laws to impose their latest higher wisdom over democracy and a free government - still, we should note four of them voted for the people, and two legally faithful mullahs authored two dissents on behalf of the people:

...Petitioners’ difficulty in demonstrating causation and redressability is not surprising given the evident mismatch between the source of their alleged injury—catastrophic global warming—and the narrow subject matter of the Clean Air Act provision at issue in this suit. The mismatch suggests that petitioners’ true goal for this litigation may be more symbolic than anything else. The constitutional role of the courts, however, is to decide concrete cases—not to serve as a convenient forum for policy debates. See Valley Forge Christian College v. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Inc., 454 U. S. 464, 472 (1982) (“[Standing] tends to assure that the legal questions presented to the court will be resolved, not in the rarified atmosphere of a debating society, but in a concrete factual context conducive to a realistic appreciation of the consequences of judicial action”).

This is a straightforward administrative-law case, in which Congress has passed a malleable statute giving broad discretion, not to us but to an executive agency. No matter how important the underlying policy issues at stake, this Court has no business substituting its own desired outcome for the reasoned judgment of the responsible agency. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I, for one, hope the government of, by, and for the people do not resist the mullahs - they have declared and we must obey. Fall to your knees oh ignorant ones, bow and grovel in admiration of their wisdom over our elected policy makers and their laws. All hail the legal mullahs altruistic guidence...

As one commentator put it "It proves that no one is above (the court's invention of) the law, not even the President (or Congress or the people)".

You know, one day I'd like to live in a free country.

When are We the People going to overthrow those monkeys passing gas in the Supreme Court? They are making a laughing-stock of this nation. I smell a Sore-ass contribution.

I'm not sure I'd refer to the Supreme Court as five mullahs issuing fatwas; however, I do find it notable that no matter how many "evil right-wingers" Bush, Reagan and other Republicans have appointed to the court, the liberals still seem to be in the majority a lot of the time.

the court needs to be hamstrung

it is insane how so many people believe the court should be the final authority on government policy

You're right. These assholes are nothing but public servants who think they have been chosen to lord it over America. I think they desperately need a boot up their ass.

Thomas Jefferson was distrustful of the power the Supreme Court. He felt that as long as the Constitution was considered "set in concrete", we the people would rule, as was the founding father's intentions, but if the Constitution came to be considered a "living document" the courts would rule the country. The courts are now usurping the power of the people through their socialistic intepretations of the Constitution and we just sit back and discuss it.

Well let's do a test:

Who is the Supreme Power in Iran? The Supreme Ruling Council of Imans
Who is the Supreme Power in US? The Supreme Court

Are the members appointed for life? Yes
Do they wear robes? Yes
Do most of them think of themselves as wiser than their people ? Yes
Do they decide issues of law, morality, and government process? Yes
Do they claim to consult a sacred text for truth? Yes
Do most of them pull their opinon out of their 'arse'. Yes
Do their Councils permit 'pretend' democracy on less important issues? Yes
Do they jerk the people's chain when they get too democratic? Yes

And finally, do most of them use mystical insight and readings to justify their personal political goals? Yes.

Now, to be fair: A single copy of our sacred Constitution has more of God's spirit in it that a stack of Quran's from Mecca to the Moon. And our ruling Court has 4 judges who actually read and practice the Constitutional law and have a desire to return democracy to the people.

Still, the High Court is run by 5 Mullahs who burn intellectual incense, chant leftist bromides, and conjure unwritten liberal penenumberas ....i.e. knowledge through mysticism.

I don't think that the differences are as great as some may think.
