A Devastating Death

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, dead at 79
The new leaked out late Saturday afternoon.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away early Saturday morning while on a hunting trip in Texas apparently from natural causes.

Scalia was 79.

“This is a devastating loss for people who love this country. It’s a devastating loss for those of us who love the Constitution,” said radio talk show host and Constitutional scholar Mark Levin.

Devastating indeed.

Scalia, appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, was perhaps one of the greatest supreme court justices has seen in a century.

An individual with extreme intellect, Scalia's writings, often in dissent, were often laced with wit and sharply directed commentary at liberal ideologies which were a pleasure to dissect.

Unlike some of his colleagues, and what seems to be a position gaining support across the nation, Scalia appropriately advocating the interpreting the Constitution by its original intent and wording, not viewing the cornerstone document of our founding as something to be tinkered with by intellectual elites who think they know best.

“It’s an absolute disaster. Let me put it this way, Scalia is kind of the Churchill, the Thatcher, and the Reagan of the Supreme Court. He wasn’t even Chief Justice and yet his impact has been massive as an originalist,” Levin went on. “The point is, he moved the Court in ways that the Court would never have moved before, even though we have these disastrous opinions coming from the Court, the brilliance of his decisions … he was able to cobble together often four justices, sometimes five justices. He was energetic, he was intellectually bracing. He was by far the leader of that Court, and there are great Justices on that Court,” added Levin.

Judge Scalia will leave a huge void, one that could have negative ramifications on this nation for eternity. In fact, it occurred to me upon learning of Scalia's passing we may have just lost the country.

Scalia was a faithful defender of the Constitution.  To Scalia, the Constitution was not a living and breathing document; it was dead, dead, dead.

America will suffer without his protection on the court, and if republicans in the senate do not step up fiercely within the fire, our country as we have known her may have perished on this Saturday along with beloved Justice Scalia.

“God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools ... and he has not been disappointed,” Scalia said. “If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity,” he added. “Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.” --Justice Antonin Scalia

Curtailing Prosperity

Unable to get his proposals passed through Congress and against the will of the American people, who view climate change among the least important issues, President Obama on Tuesday announced a series of executive actions to combat Global Climate Change.

As reported by Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit, Obama ordered all federal agencies to begin factoring “climate resilience” into all of their international development programs and investments. The action is expected to complement efforts by the federal government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to the White House.

Global Climate Change (GCC), formerly Global Warming but with a new name due to cooling temps across the globe, may well be the biggest hoax of all time, inclusive of tulip value in Holland in the 1600's.

GCC serves as a vehicle to reduce sovereignty, and transfer wealth on a global scale.  The sanctions placed on US corporations, which are not followed by other countries such as China, restrict commerce, limit production and increase costs of generating product.

If you think America stole her wealth on the backs of other less wealthy counties, utilizing a mechanism such as GCC to serve as a governor on America while collecting and transferring wealth to less productive countries, is a dream come true.

And it is coming true, as with the media along for the ride, the ill informed American citizen has no idea of the macroecomic issues plaguing the generation of prosperity for Uncle Sam.

America is indeed being transformed.

Obama finds our Constitution a flawed document; "a charter of negative liberties, which says what the states can’t do to you, what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”

Limited by the Constitution and faced with defeat from Congress and SCOTUS, he will go it alone. 

President Obama, curtailing prosperity.

Unlawfully to be sure.
