Social Engineers in Black Robes - the Intellectual Dishonesty of Ginsburg, Breyer, Kennedy, Sotomayor, and Kagan


To gain an understanding of just how openly defiant the five liberal Supreme Court Justices are of their oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution” consider this:

In 2013, the federal Defense of Marriage Act was struck down by a 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court. The five votes came from Ruth Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. The primary reason given in their opinion for striking down the law was because MARRIAGE IS A STATE ISSUE, not an issue to be influenced by the federal government.
“DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment. Pp. 13–26. (a) By history and tradition the definition and regulation of marriage has been treated as being within the authority and realm of the separate States.
Subject to certain constitutional guarantees, see, e.g., Loving v. Virginia, 388 U. S. 1, “regulation of domestic relations” is “an area that has long been regarded as a virtually exclusive province of the States,” Sosna v. Iowa, 419 U. S. 393, 404. The significance of state responsibilities for the definition and regulation of marriage dates to the Nation’s beginning; for “when the Constitution was adopted the common understanding was that the domestic relations of husband and wife and parent and child were matters reserved to the States,” Ohio ex rel. Popovici v. Agler, 280 U. S. 379, 383–384. Marriage laws may vary from State to State, but they are consistent within each State.”
Last week, THESE SAME FIVE justices voted for the nationwide recognition of gay marriage by the federal government!

These five justices are no different than any ideological political hack with the one exception: they are not subject to periodic reelection campaigns. They should be impeached for violating their oath of office. 

P.S.  Both Ginsburg and Kagan have, in the past, officiated gay wedding ceremonies. If they were honest brokers of their responsibilities as Supreme Court Justices, they would have recused themselves from hearing and ruling on this case.  

P.P.S. During her 2009 Senate confirmation hearings on her nomination to be Solicitor General, Kagan said, "there is no federal constitutional right to same sex marriage."

Obama's Core Principles

“One of my core principles is that I will never engage in a politics in which I’m trying to divide people . . . That’s a core principle — that’s not something I’d violate.” ~ Obama
He left out a few areas where he has repeatedly divided Americans:

If you:
  • Are a Christian or 
  • A Republican or
  • Believe the Constitution should be adhered to (especially the Second Amendment) or
  • Oppose gay marriage or 
  • Are a member of a Tea Party group or 
  • Are Pro-life or
  • Are in the military or 
  • Oppose his economic policy or  
  • Are a police officer or 
  • Live in the South or 
  • Oppose his use of executive orders or
  • Are wealthy or 
  • Work on Wall Street or 
  • Own a business or 
  • Watch Fox News or 
  • Oppose his foreign policy or
  • Want real investigations into Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS scandal or 
  • Want the borders enforced.
Besides that, his core principle, the one that he would not violate, is never to engage in politics "in which I'm trying to divide people."
