Constitutional lawyers
from the Chicago
Constitutional Law Institute are condemning Governor Bush. Their condemnation centers on Governor Bush’s
unforgivable ignorance of the nature of constitutional powers both on the
federal and state level. The essential
point is this:
That branch of government
that most directly represents the will of the people has the greatest
authority. The executive branch
directly represents more people than either the legislative or the judicial
branch. More people vote for president
and governor than for federal legislators and judges and state legislators and
judges. In addition, many judges are
not directly elected by the people but, instead, are appointed by other members
of government. These judges least
directly represent the will of the people.
Therefore, in cases where there is a conflict between the different
branches of government on either the federal or state level, the executive
branch has final authority. That means
that presidents and governors have more authority than legislators and
judges. Those who argue that this gives
the executive branch unlimited power forget that the same majority that put
these executive officials in office can remove them from office and that this
can be done at anytime. Regarding the
judicial branch, it has been ignorantly asserted that the judicial branch is
not subject to the will of the people.
Those who make this assertion need to reread the Constitution, especially
Article III, Section I. Article III,
Section I, of the Constitution
says:
The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall
hold their Offices during good Behavior.
These words, especially
the words “during good Behavior,” prove that neither the Supreme Court nor any
other court has final authority. The
Justices (Judges) of the Supreme Court and the judges of all other courts WERE NOT
THE ONES WHO DECIDED WHETHER THEY WERE PEOPLE OF GOOD BEHAVIOR. THAT MEANS THAT SOMEONE ELSE’S
JUDGMENT OVERRULED THEIR JUDGMENT. THIS PROVES THAT THE SUPREME COURT AND ALL OTHER COURTS DO NOT
HAVE FINAL AUTHORITY.
Governor Bush, you are a
member of the executive branch. YOU
HAVE MORE AUTHORITY THAN THE JUDICIAL BRANCH.
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE TERRI SCHIAVO!
