It’s Our Duty To Preserve The ‘Blessings Of Liberty’

Liberals love to call the U.S. Constitution a “living document” — in other words, one that changes through time in order to keep up with the times.

And at one level, they are certainly right. Because the Constitution can be amended at any time through a difficult but manageable process, it can reflect the changing needs of our people.

Unfortunately, what liberals mean by “change” is that an activist judge can force the rest of us to do whatever he or she wants by dint of judicial fiat. If a judge (or ultimately the Supreme Court) says the Constitution allows the government to force you to buy health insurance, then it’s a done deal, regardless of whether the Constitution says so or not.

So what do we do when Judges are violating their oath of office, substituting the rule of judges for the rule of law, and our elected officials will not impeach them as was intended?
