That phrase, "It's alive!" brings to mind the crazed Dr. Frankenstein announcing that his experiment was a success. As we know, though, that creation went on to terrorize and torture those in the surrounding areas. That monster was ultimately the undoing of the good doctor.
Our Supreme Court, seated with activist judges, has made that same proclamation in regards to our Constitution. What they have created is no less a monster than the one Dr. Frankenstein created. It, too, is destined to be the undoing of us all.
For the last fifty years, activist judges from Boston to San Francisco have changed and added to our founding document that not even the Founding Fathers themselves would recognize it. They have twisted and contorted it's intentions. In doing so, they have weakened it and our great nation.
Just as Dr. Frankenstein used various parts from various sources, some of which must have come from bad places, our courts have brought in such things to our Constitution as imagined rights to law from other nations and cultures. This piecing together of opinions has led to a weakened and dangerous document. It no longer has the strength to protect us, but rather to ravage the very fabric of our society.
The only thing we have left to ask, at this point, is, "Can the damage be undone?" Obviously, we cannot wait for Congress to pass laws. The courts would simply rule them unconstitutional! The only recourse we have is to either change the Constitution through the amendment procedures or elect officials who will demand strict interpretation from future judges, who would then undo the damage done with future rulings. Both are not very tasteful.
Unfortunately, by overstepping its bounds, the Court has put us, as a nation, in a very hard place. Yet, if the damage is not undone, or at the very least stopped, we may get to a very undesirable place; judicial tyranny. No one wants to go there.
