Judges and "Law"
As a career Air Force noncommissioned officer, I took an oath of allegiance not once, but at least four or five times. That oath was always the same: "I... do solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same;"
There's no mention in that oath to any other allegiance other than to the Constitution of the United States. There is no mention even of an allegiance to our government - just to the founding document that created this nation, and the people it represents. While the oath administered to other government officials may be different, I'm sure it contains that same opening clause. There is no room in our government for someone who does not put the Constitution of the United States, and the people it represents, first - period, full stop.
Today, judges at virtually every level seem to believe THEY are the source of all law and order. They make rules that circumvent elected officials at all levels. They arbitrarily impose their will upon federal, state, and local governments, and on the people, not by upholding the laws passed by elected officials, but by imposing their will upon those elected officials and the people they represent.
There is only one word for this behavior, and that is tyranny.
In Colorado, the Colorado Supreme Court imposed redistricting over the expressed will of the elected State government. Now, in the latest nonsense from the bench, the chief justice of the Colorado Supreme Court, Mary Mullarkey, appointed a judge to fill a district court vacancy. This is unconstitutional, and the judge in question should be stripped of her position, forfeit her retirement, and be kicked off the court and out of State government at any level.
There are procedures set up in the State constituion on how judges are appointed: the Governor appoints, the State Senate provides its advise and consent and either concurs with the appointment or doesn't. There is nothing in any legal document providing for the governing of the State of Colorado that provides legal grounds for the Chief Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court to circumvent the advice and consent practices of the Colorado Senate, nor of the Governor's role of appointing such judges.
If this appointment stands, a precedent will be set that totally destroys our Constitutional separation of powers, and places us under a judicial oligarchy. The people of the United States have only two options: force judges to obey the Constitution of both this nation and its individual states, or have another revolution and get rid of the tyrants.
