The judge’s job is to interpret the law, not to make the law or make policy. So read the words of the statute as written. Read the text of the Constitution as written, mindful of history and tradition. Don’t make up new constitutional rights that are not in the text of the Constitution. Don’t shy away from enforcing constitutional rights that are in the text of the Constitution. Changing the Constitution is for the amendment process. Changing policy within constitutional bounds is for the legislatures. Remember that the structure of the Constitution — the separation of powers and federalism — are not mere matters of etiquette or architecture, but are at least as essential to protecting individual liberty as the individual rights guaranteed in that text. And remember that courts have a critical role, when a party has standing, in enforcing those separation of powers and federalism limits. Simple but profound.
He respects the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the rule of law, and is a respecter of the branches of government and checks and balances as intended.
The LDAMM — Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots — wish to break and eventually crush the Constitution and Bill of Rights in order to ensure a 180-degree movement is implemented.
Our founding documents as written exist to limit government and expand individual rights and freedoms. They are written in terms of what the government cannot do to the people as positive vs negative rights. Our rights come from God and not government.
Precisely what the LDAMM does not want.
They wish to geometrically expand the powers of government and thusly, by doing so, the rights of the individual must needs diminish. They wish to replace God with government.
This is entirely unacceptable and worth the upcoming fight.
I’m back, ladies and gentlemen, and I am filled and buoyed by bucolic feelings of Lifting Liberty.
Yes, correct, after a full week in Las Vegas at the Paris Resort for the 2017 Freedom Fest’s gala 10th anniversary, BZ is back broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Fornicalia, a mere three miles from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the proverbial Bill Mill itself, Leftist Central, Sacramento.
Featuring right thinking from a left brain and doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, BZ is ensuring that safety pin manufacturers are running out of metal for the diapers of the Leftists nationally and globally.

P.S.
Sack Heads Shaun and ol’ BZ following their interview of Salem Radio’s Sage from South Central, Larry Elder. You can hear all of the SHR Media Network interviews from Freedom Fest right here on Spreaker.
My thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to broadcast in their studio and over their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as appear on the Sack Heads Radio Show™ each Wednesday evening.
The Underground Professor, Dr Michael Jones, graced us with his presence as we heard much about his background and his extensive education. Raconteur, reprobate, Constitutional scholar extraordinaire and frequently mistaken as my personal stand-in (Or am I his stand-in? I can never remember.), Dr Jones will, with crossed phalanges and baited breath (mackerel, at last check) be a recurring guest here at the Saloon every Thursday when we require studious examination of various Constitutional and government issues.
With specialties in history and philosophy, Dr Jones brings some erudition to the show and finally classes up the joint.
I am greatly looking forward to his academic and cerebral input on weighty matters of the day and — trust me — I hope to learn every bit as much as you about our founding documents, their intent and application historically and today, good or bad.
Frankly, I think this will be a great opportunity for all of us to learn what we really need to know about the United States of America.

This is the continuation of a series of posts dealing with issues where some individuals in the United States government are attempting to hold at least a portion of the rest of the federal government accountable and responsible for its actions and inactions. The public displays we find, however, are not unlike the most bizarre of Kabuki Theater or Theater of the Absurd.
Here, the late Justice Antonin Scalia speaks with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday regarding originalism, textualism, purposivism and gun control.
This is just 1/9th of 1/3rd of our government confirming and upholding our basic freedoms. Further, let me state: this is the best of our government in action. Our government at work. What we pay it to do.
Please remember, ladies and gentlemen, these are your federal tax dollars either
I’ll just do it all my own self, Mr Obama says. I shall rule from on high via executive fiat.
Marco Rubio says, “Barack Obama is obsessed with undermining the Second USAmendment.”
Let’s watch Mr Obama’s condescending and tearful lecture to law-abiding Americans, shall we?
Obama wants:
– Licensing requirements for smaller-scale gun sellers. – The hiring of an additional 230 FBI employees to process background checks 24/7 – Provisions enabling states to share mental health information – Dollars for research into “gun safety technology.” I.E., “smart guns”
The truth is that currently 38 states submit less than 80% of their felony convictions into the background check system. DC won’t even repair the current system. Now they want to expand it. Nonsense. All you have to do is ENFORCE the federal gun laws currently on the books.
This isn’t so much about the “gun control” EO as it is about Mr Obama’s continuing disregard for the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Article 1of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress its powers and limits. Congress is the legislative branch of the government, meaning they are the ones to make laws for the United States of America. The article also creates the two sections of Congress, which is called a bicameral legislature.
Meaning: Congress creates laws, not the president.
But here’s the truth: federal firearms convictions under Obama have fallen 15.5% in the past five years, and 34.8% in the past ten years. Yes, that IS under Mr Obama’s rule. Those stats are from the Syracuse University TRAC Project.
Meaning: again Mr Obama is two-faced, duplicitous and a LIAR. He could direct his AGs to go after gun crime tenaciously BUT — here is the further truth — the suspects would be predominantly BLACK and from large urban areas like Detroit, DC, Chicago, Atlanta. Mr Obama certainly cannot have that.
Sure. Violent felons and gang members buy all their guns online and in gun stores and at gun shows. There’s nothing more satisfying to a dealer with an FFL than selling an AK-47 to a tatted-up MS-13 gang member or a frothing nutcase holding a stuffed toy who walks up to their counter.
A further lie: yes, you can purchase a firearm online. But to whom does it go and where? Oh yes. Your local dealer who has an FFL and must then run a background check before physically handing the gun over to you.
Sometimes the FBI and the DOJ actually miss those few felons who attempt to purchase handguns. That’s not a local problem, that’s a federal problem. As in: just enforce what’s on the books with more efficiency.
Plus: now you’re a single mother. You suffer from post-partum depression. You want a firearm for protection because your apartment complex is rife with drug dealers and you want to protect your child. Is your doctor now mandated to contact the FBI? Under this EO your doctor is mandated to go around HIPAA privacy laws to rat you out. But who truly is “fit to own a firearm”? No one in the federal government can answer that question.
Ideology doesn’t just stop at the Spite House. It can surely exist in your doctors office. What will you say? What can you say?
Further you cannot wrap suicide numbers in with the homicide numbers in terms of “gun violence.” But of course Mr Obama does that very same thing. The vast majority of gun deaths stem from suicide.
Background checks will not solve the issue of gun suicide. Those who are intent on suicide will simply transition from guns to rocks to pills to knives to state-sponsored death.
Will you “commit” anyone who mentions depression, anxiety, who has talked about giving up? How will that affect civil liberties?
AGAIN, Republicans miss a golden opportunity to state the OBVIOUS: Mr Obama couldn’t care less about our foundational documents and, instead, issues laws by imperial fiat, completely bypassing an entire THIRD branch of government.
And if you don’t know the three branches of government, then you are a massive part of the problem in America.
