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!
