A BILL
To impeach judges who have, by overturning ballot referendum-based
laws, violated the democratic principles at the heart of the U.S.
Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and tyrannically
infringed upon the religious liberty of the American people and the
consent of those governed.
1 Whereas, in the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Virginia
2 Statute for Religious Freedom, “That to suffer the civil
3 magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of opinion and
4 to restrain the profession or propagation of principles on
5 supposition of their ill tendency is a dangerous fallacy which
6 at once destroys all religious liberty because he being of
7 course judge of that tendency will make his opinions the rule
8 of judgment and approve or condemn the sentiments of others
9 only as they shall square with or differ from his own;”
10 Whereas courts should thus not be allowed to intrude into
11 “the field of opinion” since this will ultimately destroy the
12 First Amendment religious liberties of others, by ensuring that
13 judges tyrannically enforce their own views through bias in the
14 same way 18th century British monarchs once did;
15 Whereas according to Article 3, Section 2 of the U.S.
16 Constitution the courts, including the Supreme Court, are to
17 have jurisdiction only “with such Exceptions, and under such
18 Regulations as the Congress shall make” and, furthermore,
19 “the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress
20 may by Law have directed;”
21 Whereas the courts are thus Constitutionally intended to be
22 subordinate to the elected representatives of the people, with
23 court jurisdiction, ruling, and trial location dictated by
24 legislatures to courts, not the other way around;
25 Whereas according to the U.S. Constitution’s Article 1, Section
26 1, “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a
27 Congress of the United States”;
2
1 Whereas according to the U.S. Constitution’s Article 1, Section
2 8, “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes,
3 Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for
4 the common Defence and general Welfare of the United
5 States;”
6 Whereas legislative, i.e. law-making authority, is vested in the
7 legislature, and another branch, whether the Judiciary or the
8 Executive, which seeks to usurp such power is in violation of
9 the clear intent of the U.S. Constitution;
10 Whereas governments, according to the Declaration of
11 Independence, derive their just powers only from the
12 consent of the governed;
13 Whereas our founding fathers thus, in creating the United
14 States, sought to represent the will of the people;
15 Whereas James Madison, primary author of the U.S.
16 Constitution, in the Memorial and Remonstrance Against
17 Religious Assessments stated “Because a measure of such
18 singular magnitude and delicacy ought not to be imposed,
19 without the clearest evidence that it is called for by a majority
20 of citizens;”
21 Whereas prominent legislation should represent the will of
22 the people and the best way to ensure this is by determining
23 such legislation via popular vote;
24 Whereas legislation passed by popular vote cannot defensibly
25 be overturned or declared un-Constitutional, making it
26 arguably more valid than that passed by any other form, more
27 more likely to stand the test of time, and making a judge or
28 any other official which seeks to remove it a tyrannical, un-
29 democratic dictator deserving of infamy;
30 Whereas advances in voting technology eliminate any previous
31 concerns about mob rule as pertaining to democracy, since
32 democracy can now be calmly performed through vote on a
33 vast scale without necessity of mobs so that votes can be
34 held without peer pressure or emotionally-charged
35 environments;
36 Whereas the lawful and Constitutional process to acknowledge a
3
1 God-given inalienable right is through amendment per the Bill
2 of Rights, not through judicial declaration;
3 Whereas James Madison in Memorial and Remonstrance
4 Against Religious Assessments states “The preservation of a
5 free Government requires not merely, that the metes and
6 bounds which separate each department of power be
7 invariably maintained; but more especially that neither of
8 them be suffered to overleap the great Barrier which defends
9 the rights of the people. The Rulers who are guilty of such an
10 encroachment, exceed the commission from which they derive
11 their authority, and are Tyrants. The People who submit to it
12 are governed by laws made neither by themselves nor by an
13 authority derived from them, and are slaves”;
14 Whereas a Judiciary which oversteps its bounds in asserting
15 legislative power, contrary both to the will of the people and
16 the legislature which forms their elected representatives, acts
17 as tyrants seeking to enslave others;
18
19 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in
Congress Assembled,
4
1 That the following judges shall be forthwith impeached and
2 immediately removed from office for removing ballot
3 referendum-based laws, thereby acting as dictators that violate
