The Patriot Post® · A Response to Ryan T. Anderson

I find one major error in Mr. Anderson’s article. He states that the Supreme Court has redefined marriage. However, as the Supreme Court is NOT part of the Congress, it is not authorized to modify and make laws. It must only find the law constitutional or unconstitutional, and it may do this only where it has authority to do so. Article six of the Constitution establishes that all amendments are part of the Constitution.

The First Amendment quite clearly states that the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. This is in full accordance with the Constitution itself that prohibits any department of the government except the Congress from legislating. “Legislating” is either making a law or modifying a law. Therefore the Constitution itself states that the Supreme Court may not do what the Supreme Court claims to have done. In this particular case, the Supreme Court is claiming that the Constitution is unconstitutional, and is modifying the Constitution by declaration even though the Constitution itself clearly states what must be done to modify the Constitution.

Therefore, the Supreme Court decision is null and void and the Constitution remains as it always has been in this matter. However, the Senate and the House have justified their complete removal from government, cancellation of all retirement benefits and any other perquisites because they have not impeached the Supreme Court as required by their oath of office to support and protect the Constitution. The false idea that the justices of the Supreme Court are appointed for life is clearly false. It is only necessary to read Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution to find the correct term of all federal judges and Justices. It states: “The judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts shall hold their offices during good Behaviour.” There is no such thing as a lifetime appointment.

For their illegal attempt to rewrite the First Amendment, the entire membership of the Court that has voted to make this change must be removed. For their failure to do so, every member of the Congress who has not done this must be removed with all benefits and perquisites eliminated. When the persons appointed to defend the Constitution of the United States take it upon themselves to change it because they do not like it, then they must resign and carry their objection to the people in any attempt to have it changed.

It must also be understood that it is only because the education system in this country has become so poor under government regulation that this situation could come into existence.
