As we are sure you have noted from media reports, an all-out war has been launched against the family, marriage, and Christianity (singled out among all the religions existing in the US for special persecution).

Some of the courts (whose justices are not elected, often serve for life, and who deem themselves therefore unaccountable to the public) have gone over the edge, ruling in matters that are out of their subject jurisdiction and handing down rulings contrary to the provisions of the US Constitution and the original intent of the founding fathers.

Something must be done, and it must be done pronto before more serious damage is done. A quick study of history will show that the very survival of the nation could be at stake. What we are seeing in the United States today parallels the trends in the ancient civilizations as they slid their way down the tubes in disgrace.

There are things the US Congress can do immediately, if they will:
1. Impeachment and disbarment is a possibility for some judges, based upon their conduct on the bench and off
2. Congressional action to remove subject jurisdiction is a possibility
3. Shutting off the funding tap to renegade courts is a possibility, effectively shutting down those courts
4. Establishing new courts and reducing the geographical jurisdiction of the renegade courts to near-zip is a possibility

5. The Congress can align itself solidly behind actions in the courts against the perversity of the few that stand to harm the whole

6. The Congress can force an up-or-down vote on all court nominees

There is provision in the Constitution and laws of our nation for some of these actions; for some there is even established precedent. The true issue here is whether our elected leaders have the WILL to act in accordance with the desire of the very people who elected them.

Takeaways
  • The judicial system is running amok, often legislating from the bench.
  • The Congress is stonewalling, preventing up or down votes on viable judicial nominees
  • Action must be taken to correct the situation pronto, for the sake of our countrymen and children.

I can understand your stance here. I have to fight the impulse to throw my hands up and give up. However, as arduous as the task may seem, the will of the people can be stirred up to action. And public officials can be influenced to do even what they themselves do not wish to. For example, contacts in the Congress have stated that when a Congressman receives more than seven letters or emails on a single subject, that is enough for them to consider it a significant issue. Imagine the impact of thousands of emails/letters and numerous letters to the editors/news directors of major news outlets? I have personally seen it happen. So don't give up hope, but by all means keep on praying -- that is the strongest weapon anyone has.

Unfortunately, you assume Congress has any intention of doing any of this. Or even that Congress has any concern about the will of the people. They have not shown any inclination to do anything that is the "will of the people" in recent years. Congress has more of an interest to 1) keep the status quo, 2) bow to special interest groups (which represent so small a number of Americans as to be abhorrent) and 3) line their own pockets. And it is also apparent that the people are content to allow this. Sad to say that there may be nothing more to do than pray. And luckily to say the only thing left to do is pray. Maybe we, and all the world, will see His will established over that of immoral politicians and apathetic people.
