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

4 religious liberties and oppose the democratic will of the
