A Coup By The Courts

by Christopher G. Adamo

It is altogether inconceivable that the budding monstrosity known as the European Union resulted from a groundswell of support spontaneously erupting from the sentiments of average Belgian, Italian, or English citizens. Rather, a group of powerful elitists arrived at the conclusion that they could vastly increase their own wealth, stature, and influence, were such a conglomeration of aimless nationalities formed into a single economic and political power. The only major obstacle facing them was that annoying tendency among ordinary citizens towards national pride and patriotism. But among the “member states,” whose sovereignty has now been nearly obliterated, this roadblock has essentially been overcome.

Furthermore, while normal people don't willingly consign themselves to servitude, they have proven to be highly susceptible to the practice of selling their liberties and independence for promises of security and safety. Thus it has been that those European nations were, over the years, primed for eventual absorption into the bureaucratic nightmare of the European Union by gradual ensnarement, resulting from blind acceptance of the perennially unfulfilled promises of socialistic utopia.

However, despite the specific means by which this transnational system of government finally gained widespread acceptance across the European Continent, it is obvious that the entire program occurred as a “top down” process. Governmental leaders and their cohorts among the elite first conceived of the idea within their own circles, subsequently disseminating it through such institutions as the public education system and the media, until it eventually became familiar and palatable to the common citizenry.

Americans, who might be tempted to look upon those nations sinking into the mire of the European Union with an air of smug disdain, had better recognize the degree to which the same movement is afoot within their own shores.

Above and beyond the monotonously persistent endeavor of some in recent decades to expand the status and influence of the United Nations on American soil, a new and concerted effort by this country's unaccountable oligarchy, the court system, is operating from within to achieve the same end. Its goal can be nothing else but to dissipate this nation's soul and dissolve its Constitutional framework. Though it might seem easy to discount such speculation as hyperbole and hysteria, consider the significance of some recent court rulings and, more importantly, the rationale given for them.

By refusing to hear an appeal by Judge Moore of Alabama, the U.S. Supreme Court effectively consented to a lower court ruling barring his display of the Ten Commandments in Alabama's State Supreme Court building. In this manner, the Biblical teachings, which served as the bedrock of this nation's founding and contributed greatly to its prosperity and success, are being expunged from public consideration.

In the United States Supreme Court's landmark decision of “Lawrence v. Texas,” in which anti-sodomy laws were summarily nullified across the entire nation, Justice Anthony Kennedy invoked not the Constitution, but the opinion of Mary Robinson, a former “High Commissioner for Human Rights” in the United Nations. Even more transparently, Justice Steven Breyer, has asserted on national television that the U.S. Constitution is somehow insufficient, owing to its incompatibility with the “governing documents of other nations.” By repeatedly ruling on such flawed grounds, these members of the nation's high court are not only trampling on the ability of states to self-govern; they are incrementally revoking the rights of citizenship of every American.

None of this is intended to suggest the possibility of Breyer and Kennedy attending some super-secret meeting at The Hague or in Brussels, wherein they might be made party to official plans for America's downfall. But warped by their own extreme arrogance, these judicial activists (among many others) clearly abdicated their role as guardians of the Constitution, and have instead opted to become agents of radical social change, willingly abusing the power vested in them to whatever degree they deem necessary to ensure success.

The concerted attack on America's faith and morality, so evident in the Moore and Lawrence decisions, renders great damage to the philosophical and sociological barriers that have long immunized this country from much of the chaos and upheaval regularly suffered by the rest of the world. More significantly though, their justification for these abominable decisions portends long-range intentions of something far worse. Jurists who so blatantly violate their oaths of office, both in letter and in spirit, prove themselves wholly unfit to continue to serve. The Constitutional mechanism exists to remove them from the bench. It must be pursued.

Growing up during the turbulent decades of the ‘60's and ‘70's, Christopher  Adamo saw, to his dismay, the nation's moral foundations being destroyed  before his very eyes. But even then he was a staunch Conservative at heart,  and rejected outright the tenets of America's counterculture revolution.

 After a hitch in the Air Force, where he specialized in airborne  electro- optical systems, he pursued a career in the field of aerospace,  working for major defense contractors in California, Florida, and Colorado. But his career plans abruptly changed during the industry-wide downsizing that followed the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

Presently he is working in the field of industrial instrumentation in the state of Wyoming. Concurrently, he has become involved in that state's political process, attending state GOP conventions as a delegate, and serving as a member of the Wyoming Republican Central Committee. He has also aided in the candidacies of local legislators and state senators, as well as a U.S. Senator and Congresswoman.

From 1993 to 1996, he edited and wrote for “The Wyoming Christian”, the state newsletter for Christian Coalition of Wyoming. During that period, he developed an acute awareness of the harm being done to Conservatism by liberal activists within the Republican Party as well as the Democrats. This remains a favorite theme of his articles, which now appear as a regular feature on GOPUSA.
