OT: Some Constitutional trivia

[scaredyclassic]

you guys are kinda jumpy on the trigger finger.

the above-referenced law bit is about jurisdiction–that is what types of cases can courts hear. There’s more rules. Lots more. You could spend a few years reading all the damned rules.

I’m not sure, but i think a little old district court decision doesn’t bind the whole u.s of a., at least that’s the way things generally work, the districts are divided up and what some wacko judge (not that this judge was a wacko, or indeed that any federal judges are necessarily wackos) in some far-flung distrcit doesn’t necessarily bind us way over here (where our judges aren’t necessarily any better, just different)..

and I think but am not sure that there are probably procedures for getting a stay pending review by higher courts on any kind of order. the calls for impeachment are a little goofy. im not pro obama or obamacare or anything, I’m just saying, this is not the government takeover or TEOTWAWKI or anything like that….we’re not anywhere near close to mussolini time. but bong hits and maybe some rat killing might be fun yor y’all while waiting for higher court review…also, im going to go get my cholesterol checked…im too old and tired for any non-rx drugs

I hope you are right scaredy, “this is not the government takeover or TEOTWAWKI”, but I do think it is later than you think.

[quote=pri_dk]Cartman,

Can you point out the part of the Constitution that says a district judge has the power to overrule the President and the Congress?

I’ve been studying all night between bong hits and I just can’t seem to find it.

This is in the Constitution, right? Or are you saying that there are rules that are not in the Constitution?

Anyway, just gimme the Article and Section.

And the part where Obama says he’ll ignore any Supreme Court ruling….when exactly did he say that?

Or are you jus’ messing with me dude?

Jus’ makin’ stuff up?[/quote]

Come on, you’re kidding me now right? I find it hard to take you seriously at this point since I never said Obama said he would ignore a Supreme Court ruling so you’re coming across as either duplicitous or truly baked.

Reuters has reported:
“A White House official told reporters the administration planned to continue with implementation of the law.

‘We’ll continue to operate as we have previously and suspect that the states will do the same,” said the senior administration official’.”

It was clear in my thread that I was not calling for Obama’s impeachment, rather, I was highlighting that surely the left would have called for Bush’s had he dared do the same thing.

As for the judicial authority of district courts it is clear to me you are either poorly educated, or think you’re well educated but are not as well as you think you are, or are a dishonest person playing games. It strikes me as the typical gamesmanship of the left. You’ve misstated my statements, tried to play “gotcha” and set it up so I have to go through all the work of a massive civics lesson going back to Marbury v. Madison. You sir, are a joker.

The Constitution did not create district courts. District courts were created by congress. The authority to rule on cases of constitutionality can be found in US Code Title 28 Part IV Chapter 85 section 1331.

Now put down the bong and find where it says congress may ignore a ruling by a district judge that a law is unconstitutional. Go on, do it.

When you’re done you may understand why Bush would be excoriated if instead of stopping the violation where jurisdictionally appropriate and appealing the case, a senior member of his staff said the plan was to appeal but to continue the violation in the meantime despite the lack of any higher court ordering something to the contrary.

Get to work slacker — there are a host of conservative issues and Constitutional principles which have been run over roughshod by district judges all over the country since the 1960s. I am eager to inform the Republican majority in congress that some genius from Piggington’s forum has found a loophole where these judges can just be ignored rather than worrying about appealing to lefty appellate courts like the 9th circuit.

I’m slamming you hard on your tomfoolery because you were trying to be a rude smart-arse in your first post and you, IMO, deserve it. You misread — or misstated — my post and tried to make me look foolish anyway. Moreover, I’m fed up with lefties who always want it both ways. If a district judge makes up law but it goes in the left’s favour conservative politicians are expected to get in line and go along unless they can get a higher court to disagree. But when it goes to the right we’ve got some clown intimating that congress and the president can just ignore the decision. You’re either clueless or of questionable character. Take some solace, however, in the fact you’re far from alone.
