“Absolutely. That is the point. We will be in such a mammoth fight and engaging the entire country with this, how will you ever get that person through? It does go to this constitutional case that is being considered by the Supreme Court now on the flag salute, ``One Nation under God.'' Here was a continuation of the discovered set of laws that somehow discovered that our kids cannot say our flag salute, ``One Nation Under God.'' Ninety percent plus of the public is for the flag salute. I am confident that percentage is ahead of that. In this body, there is outrage. And the Ninth Circuit, in a consistent opinion with 40 years of discovery law, says: No, you cannot do that. So now you put somebody in a legislative role--circuit court, lifetime appointment, cannot remove them--and the Ninth Circuit, which gets overturned all the time--as a group of legislators they get overturned all the time by the Supreme Court. Now, say you get a Supreme Court position that opens. They are not going to get overturned by anyone. And you get people fearful of the tyranny of the judiciary which the Founding Fathers were fearful of themselves. They wanted the judiciary to be the most limited because they have the lifetime appointments. They have a pretty big set of powers. They feared tyranny could become an issue because it was a lifetime appointment and was not subject to the checks and balances of the people. People check and balance everyone in this body.…”
