The Constitution In Crisis: Since the end of World War II the Supreme Court has actively engaged in rewriting the liberties enumerated in the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence as well as The Federalist Papers documents the Founding Fathers’ plan for limited government originally set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights and demonstrates that the Founding Fathers were all men of strong and, needless to say, Christian faith and that we are now and forever “One Nation Under God”

The aim of the body politic, in their struggle to govern, must be a continuing effort to make those in power more responsive and responsible to the Democratic wishes of the people of this great Republic. Instead we have seen the Executive and Legislative branches of government willing to relinquish and abandon the system of checks and balances afforded them to a Judicial branch who wish to govern by fiat from the bench. These are unelected officials, and since they are not elected but appointed and therefore are not representatives of the people as such, they have given to themselves a power that the Constitution gives only to Congress as the Legislative branch and to the states. The Judicial branch and the Supreme Court in particular, seek to establish their existence as a power elite who by distant vision and their capacity to see things whole, come to play a superior role.

Thomas Jefferson once said that, "The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric.They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone."

 As this “One nation Under God” finds itself becoming enslaved by those in the federal judiciary and the Supreme Court who make such laws from the bench and then seek to enforce them. The question then becomes is the public bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation? Shameless Judicial activism is forcing Christians to take a stand. It is a stand that is long overdue.

 Those who claim to have a “Live and Let Live” philosophy are either fooling themselves or are fooled by the Radical Left and the media hype spewed almost daily by the Liberal Press. How do you remain tolerant when those whom you are allowing to live thusly are busily building organizations that have political agendas that are by design aimed at denying you your right to “Live” as you would “Let Them Live”? There can no longer be a body of people who refuse to take a stand in the face of moral decay. Those who would allow secular corruption of our children by not allowing prayer in school, by not allowing the Ten Commandments to be displayed, by proclaiming that any display of the birth of Christ in the form of a manger scene on the Court House lawn or public school grounds or any public property is an establishment of religion are not only wrong but dangerous and deliberate. We can no longer be tolerant of judges and politicians who wish to destroy our Constitution and our reliance on old identities. They must be revitalized and reaffirmed, not blurred and compromised. We as Christians, in order to survive, need to rediscover theological firmness and doctrinal clarity.

 Alexander Hamilton, in the Federalist No. 81 wrote,

"[T]here is not a syllable in the plan under consideration which directly empowers the national courts to construe the laws according to the spirit of the Constitution.”

Previously, Hamilton had written, ... [T]hough individual oppression may now and then proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter...." --Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 78

The Virtue of Intolerance, by now should outway our blindness to the facts. We as a Republican Nation, ruled by law, laws given to us by elected representatives and guided by principles that do not change are not bound by laws coming from Supremacist Judges who have exceeded their Constitutional authority. In this democratic nation all power is ultimately vested in “the people.”

Such knowledge does not help much in defining how power is exercised. Who holds the power and who has the ability to act and carry out the functions of government is the key to the separation of powers. We can no longer afford to be tolerant.

We have seen the Supreme Court Justices, since F.D.R. populated the court with judicial activists who with their belief that the Constitution is a “Living Document” subject to all manner of judicial interpretation and who legislate from the bench by issuing rulings based on their personal interpretaton of theConstitution or that of the liberal left.

Prior to the ascent of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency, the courts were still populated with originalists, who properly rendered legal interpretation based on construction of the Constitution’s “original intent.”

The institutions examined here all seem to have the same failing. They are inclined to see government and the art of governing as requiring the existence of a power elite. Senator Kennedy and others of the Democratic Left who feel that the Judicial Branch of government is the only branch sensitive to Social Justice Agendas are inclined to see themselves as the only ones with distant vision and capacity to see things whole and that they must come to play a superior role. It is Socialism (Communism) in disguise. It has disguised itself as progressivism, liberalism, secular humanism, and eventually environmentalism, feminism, and a vast assortment of other social justice causes.

Christianity teaches individualism and as such can only be sustained through knowledge and faith. We the people cannot ignore reality for long and dismiss the interests of the nation as a whole as alien to our own interests. We are one nation and one people and we must live, work, govern and be governed in the same manner. Only through knowledge, high purpose and the use of self restraint in the exercise of power can this nation determine whether a government of separated powers will continue to endure. Surely our Governors, State Legislators and the United States Congress and Senators can see that they have the power, as our elected representatives, to change the direction and destruction of our Constitution or face the consequence of the People changing them.

We hear them, the Conservative media talk show hosts day in and day out talking about the ACLU and the liberal left, the disinformation of the Mainstream Media and they keep us informed of the real issues that we face. We can easily find agreement with them but we must act in order to change the current direction. Our nation is experiencing a power struggle.

 Secular Humanism and Moral Relativism is attempting to gain power through the reversal of human norms, natural law, and the social institutions that are so necessary for the continuance of mankind.

 In his book the, “The Everlasting Man,” G.K. Chesterton described this reversal process as the “theology of demons” and said that it was sadistically anti-human and anti-childhood. It is intrinsically evil. It is a malignancy-filled system of philosophy posturing as something seemingly inocuous in order to infect Christendom and Christianity in the United States.
