Seven corrupt judges

Surprise, surprise. Seven Democratic judges, appointed by Democrats find in favor of Gore. What these politically corrupt judges have done is help Gore rape the Constitution by sanctioning his attempted coup. They have told the people of Florida and the United States that rules are meant to favor Democrats. That the Republican Party is not a legitimate force and that the rule of law does not apply to it.
Several hours before these black robed hypocrites gave their decision I told friends that the corruption of the American judiciary had gone so far that I considered it inconceivable that these Democratic apparatchiks would rise above their ideology and rule according to the law. My argument was plain and simple: they are utterly corrupt and only have contempt for the Constitution and the American people.
The so-called judgment of these political assassins confirmed my worst fears and fuelled my contempt even further. How can Americans feel that their rights are inviolable when state supreme court judges are prepared to act like Stalinist thugs in a political cause? These phony judges had already determined their decision before the court hearing took place. The hearing was nothing but window-dressing, a travesty designed to hide the judges’ political bigotry.
According to these defenders of the Constitution “The Court has consistently held that the right of people to cast their vote is the paramount concern.” This is sheer humbug. People did cast their votes and those votes were counted twice. No one, no one at all was denied the right to vote, except some of those in the military. There were no fraud, at least by Republicans. What these Democratic judges are really saying is that Gore should be given as much time as can appear decent to dredge for as many votes as he needs to beat the evil Bush. That their prejudiced decision violated the “equal protection” provision guaranteed by the Constitution's 14th Amendment was blithely ignored.
Just think for a moment, there was not one dissenting opinion. They acted and thought as one. Which is just how ideologues behave. That Bush had won this election twice and that he won cleanly and according to the rules had no influence on them at all. Their sole aim was not to uphold the law but to bend it to secure a Gore victory and to hell with the law. No wonder the whole thing smacked of a show trial, a cunning charade designed to give Gore’s attempted coup d’etat the legal stamp of approval.
The sheer brazenness of their disgusting behavior is another vile indicator of just how far respect for the rule of law has slipped in America. The law is perfectly clear, as the bitterly maligned Katherine Harris has stated more than once. There are absolutely no grounds for a recount. Moreover, her actions had the endorsement of Judge Lewis, himself a Democrat. But these Democratic groupthinking judges decided anything that hindered a Gore victory was unreasonable. They didn’t put it that way but that’s what it amounts to.
They made their political bigotry clear when they issued an unsolicited injunction last Friday stopping Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris from certifying George W. Bush as the winner — despite the fact that they had no legal authority to do so and had not even heard a single argument concerning the recount. Now let me spell this out: These unelected judges, acting in unison, took the unprecedented step of directly interfering in an election in order to stack the deck in favor of their candidate. (I don’t use the word conspiracy lightly, but in this case it sure fits). In doing so they dictatorially overruled all three branches of Florida government in direct violation of the principle of the separation of the powers. This bunch of legal assassins make King George III look like a Founding Father.
But why should anyone be surprised by their abominable behavior? The record of these black robed commissars speaks for itself as does their contempt for the people of Florida. Remember that these are the same hypocrites that twisted the law to demolish the people’s right to ballot initiatives. Now they have twisted it to help Gore stage a coup
