August 14, 2005, hereafter to be known as Justice Sunday II (honoring the preference for roman numerals) brought together American values notables such as Robert Bork, Tom DeLay, Chuck Colson and Jim Dobson to incite the rabble into further assaults upon the U.S. Constitution.
"The consitution is clear on the point the power to make laws is vested on [sic] Congress" said DeLay. The constitution as every real American knows of course is equally clear that the power to interpret the laws is vested in the courts. But since Congressman DeLay is a practiced liar, he knows how to lie by implication and need not resort to bald faced lies that he might have to explain.
"The president of the Catholic League, Bill Donahue, suggested a constitutional amendment to say that 'unless a judicial vote is unanimous, you cannot overturn a law created by Congress." If you lop of one of the three branches of government, that only leaves two. If you then chop off that one, then the United States could be governed on the Catholic model.
[Focus on the Family founder James] Dobson said: "The framers of our great nation did not intend for the courts to have absolute and final power over us." This is a man who has a firm grasp of what is blindingly obvious -- see three branches and process of amendment, above but is utterly blind to what is only ordinarily obvious, i.e. that the framers did intend the courts to have the absolute and final power over interpretation of the law.
