The Supreme Court is killing America

The power of the Supreme Court is frightening in many respects. These nine appointed Justices are empowered to interpret, protect and defend our basic legal foundation. The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and the Bill of Rights all require honest interpretation and enforcement of the rules. From it's beginning as a co-equal branch of our government (with the Executive Office and the Congress), the Supreme Court has moved to increase it's authority. It has become part of a political tug-of -war between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch. This is not good for America. The judicial branch has become dominant and government checks and balances are no longer function as they should. Why is there no movement to apply term limits to the Supreme Court? I would think a justice could learn the job and be effective if his or her term was limited to 15 years or 75 years of age.

GREED (Another subject)

Now, in 2007, we are fast approaching a disaster. American society has always been directed by greed. There are more gentle ways to put it - but the fact is that the ambition to gather money or power is the basis of capitalism, free markets and profits. So, in a perverse way, greed has resulted in the energy for America to be successful.


Someone once predicted that when a democratic representative government reached the point that it's political leaders paid their own salaries - it would fail.


America has reached the point.

• Deficit spending. Two words indicating politicians stealing your children's tax money.
• Earmarks. An innocent sounding word representing politicians stealing tax money.
• A Taxation system that is unfair.
• Court ordered obscene financial judgments.
• Citizen paid taxes directed by politicians to welfare programs benefiting non-citizens.
• A Social Security system paid for by deficit spending.
• Paper money whose value is based upon potential earnings.

Is America about to fail?
