Impeach Judge Richard Posner?
BY Herschel Smith
10 years, 4 months ago
… Posner is a demonstrable oath-breaker. He is unfit to pass judgment on any American, and certainly unfit to weigh in on what rights we have and how they are to be exercised.
A Congress with integrity and guts would impeach him.
Yes, perhaps so. I would in fact be okay with a firing squad, or hanging. No, I’m being serious. This is as much treason as giving military secrets to the enemy. When a man or woman who is in a position to adjudicate serious matters of freedom and punishment and rights for other men breaks the covenant s/he has made with the people, the people suffer.
Don’t be so surprised at the judge’s position. He is following Stanley Fish, or the philosophy of deconstruction. It’s being taught at Harvard, Yale, Emory, and virtually every law school. The fact that so many judges break their covenant with the people doesn’t make it any less treasonous.
See also NRO. And you can lump this hag in with Posner when you ready the firing squad as far as I’m concerned.

Well said Herschel. If we had a Congress with integrity and guts, a lot of things could be different.
If…
If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.
Can this be the game guy who gave this decision:

Interesting! Good find. I wonder on what basis he came to the decision he did? In the end, I still wouldn’t want him to make decisions for me, because he is divorced from the foundational basis for correct decisions if he doesn’t believe the constitution.
IIRC, aren’t we one of the few — if not the only — country where the Oath of Office/Service is to the Constitution, not the govt?
Along those lines, I’d have to go with MG Butler — http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/smedleybut169561.html
A big part of our problems these days stems from the fact that people who do wrong (Clinton, Holder, Lerner, etc) are not held accountable for their actions and nobody gives a crap.
I was listening to Dan Carlin’s most recent podcast and he had this to say which stood out:
“If you live in a society where you have the right to vote, and you ignore the needs of the people for too long, they will kill you”
And then there is this quote from Sipsey Street Irregulars that I think about a lot:
“All politics in this country today is just a prelude to civil war.”
BTW, I love the nom de guerre. And I loved his character in those movies (esp. “For a Few Dollars More”)
A fantastic film. I’m a huge LVC fan. As much as I love the epic scope of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, I think the actual story and pace of FAFDM is much better. It is like one of the greatest heist stories set in the old west.

“Will no one rid me of this troublesome judge?”
Spot on Herschel!!!
