The State of Florida has a very interesting Constitutional provision, one that should be expanded to include the federal level: Lawyers are not permitted to run for non-judicial offices.
The Separation of Powers Doctrine forms a delicate balance. The Judicial, Executive, and Administrative branches should operate independently of each other, with nothing invisibly orchestrating the three.
To the extent that lawyers have invaded the Administrative and Executive branches, often terrorizing non-lawyers by abusing their law degrees and threatening to sue people they do not like, America has become a legal dictatorship operated by the American Bar Association (which happens to be headquartered on Chicago’s Michigan Boulevard, in Barack Obama’s back yard).
This does not suggest that lawyers are bad people. It reflects the truth that when any trade association can arbitrarily control nations or the world, the outcome will necessarily become evil and perverse, as predicted in Scott Peck’s book “People Of the Lieâ€ÂÂ. [i]
The American Bar Association and the various state Bar Associations have demonstrated vast hegemony controlling all state institutions, often overtly applying outrageous unconstitutional standards of practice and opinions about how America will be run.
Take for example the Violence Against Women Act, which happens to be Joe Biden’s favorite hobby that is sponsored by Barack Obama’s biggest political supporters – feminists.
Many billions have been spent in the name of “ending violence against womenâ€ÂÂ. But domestic violence has not abated. Why? Because VAWA funds feminists to destroy marriage according to the feminist dictates of the 1970’s, and little of the money is used to help women living in violence. Secondly, VAWA does not permit one nickel to be spent where women are the violent partner, which statistically is half of all cases.
The ABA expressly endorses VAWA, despite the fact that the official ABA Standards of Practice document expressly and unconstitutionally predeclares the petitioner as female and the defendant as male. [ii] VAWA is nothing less than “Uncle Tom†with a feminist law license.
In support of radical destruction of marriage by socialist-feminists, at tremendous profit to trial lawyers, A.B.A. President William H. Neukom urges more funding for VAWA legal services! [iii]
The Bar is the only trade association in America permitted to discipline itself exclusively. It controls the majority of activities of both federal and state Legislative, Administrative, and Judicial branches from one office building in Chicago, Illinois.
Barack Obama, a slick Harvard lawyer, has expressly declared his intent to eviscerate the Constitution and courts to become handmaidens for mob rule founded on gross personal irresponsibility:
Speaking in July 2007 at a conference of Planned Parenthood, he [Obama] said: “[W]e need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.”
On this view, plaintiffs should usually win against defendants in civil cases; criminals in cases against the police; consumers, employees and stockholders in suits brought against corporations; and citizens in suits brought against the government. Empathy, not justice, ought to be the mission of the federal courts, and the redistribution of wealth should be their mantra ….
He also noted that the Court “didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it has been interpreted.” That is to say, he noted that the U.S. Constitution as written is only a guarantee of negative liberties from government — and not an entitlement to a right to welfare or economic justice.[iv]
Bob Bertrand, a gentleman who works with http://judicialaccountability.org, attended a McCain book-signing event at a book store in Florida not long ago. Bertrand was handing out bumper stickers saying “Don’t Vote For Lawyersâ€ÂÂ. McCain asked the book store manger to let Bertrand hand them out inside the store, and even invited Bertrand to meet with him privately later. McCain thanked Bertrand for his work.
In addition to being a power-lawyer who openly practices the murder of free speech via scurrilous tort suits and community-organized prosecutorial assaults, Obama runs closely with Marxist-feminists. Marxist-feminists are the primary historical source of all anti-marriage and anti-religious policies, such as abortion, no-fault divorce, illegitimacy entitlements, legalized suicide, sexual liberation, gay rights, and gay marriage.
Let us not elevate a power-hungry male Marxist-feminist to the Presidency on Tuesday.
While McCain is not the ideal candidate we were looking for, he is not a lawyer or a card-carrying feminist. McCain will not send America into Constitutional anarchy driven by ACORN and its radical sister organizations who believe that that Saul Alinksy is God.
American feminist-socialists are presently drooling at the prospect of enacting the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which will permit them to dictate American policy from law offices overseas. We must not turn the Constitution over to A.B.A. globalist legal dictators.
On Tuesday, let us vote for John McCain, the only candidate who will prevent the American Bar Association from turning America over to globalist Star-Chamber lawyers in Geneva and Brussels.
