How to Dethrone the Imperial Judiciary (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

The most important constitutional issues of this generation concern the meaning of the rule of law. For decades, the federal courts have been simply making up "law." What is worse, liberal and conservative lawmakers have been reinforcing such behavior by treating such rulings as if they are legitimate.

In the year 2003, this movement by the federal courts to redefine law reached its nadir. In the Supreme Court’s decision in Lawrence v. Texas, Justices Breyer, Ginsberg, Kenedy, Souter and Stevens pushed "judicial supremacy" to the outermost bounds of irresponsibility and arrogance---construing the Constitution according to foreign law, striking down traditional morality as a rational basis for legislation, and thereby repudiating the fundamental principles of liberty enshrined in our nation’s Declaration of Independence.

The federal judiciary has simply gone out of control. Today, one in every three Americans have been killed by abortion simply because a handful of unelected officials sanctioned it. But issues like abortion and homosexual marriages can be resolved immediately, without special Constitutional Amendments, if we will simply avail ourselves of the measures given to us by our Founding Fathers to hold renegade and lawless judges accountable for their behavior.

In this brilliant, accessible, and documented work, Dr. Edwin Vieira offers us the best-researched and clearest overview to date of the power of the people to control a runaway judiciary.
