There are many State and local judges and politicians who continue to ignore the Constitution and Supreme court rulings, imposing their views on the American people. While the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the right of the Kentucky man who makes T-shirts, to refuse to print shirts for the local Gay pride festival, officials in the State of Kentucky continue to harass and threaten him. If the governor appointed those involved, he should fire them. If he does not, he is guilty of dereliction of duty and the people should not reelect him or if he isn’t up for reelection, they should circulate petitions to remove him. If the people elect the judges as they do in some States, the voters should vote him out. The people need to elect judges that will obey the law and monitor them to see that they do. If they don’t, replace them with judges who will. We are a republic based on the rule of law, not a dictatorship of the judiciary. Our officials need to be held accountable for their actions and the actions of those they appoint or we will continue to suffer such injustice and it will spread. Many public officials currently ignore or overturn votes of the people and if the people don’t exercise their right to vote now, the officials will abolish elections and then the people will no longer have a voice. People tell me that will never happen but a few years ago when the Supreme Court held a liberal majority, the Justices in a footnote to their majority opinion on State marriage laws stated that votes of the people are merely advisory and not binding on public officials, an opinion clearly violating the Constitution, but which many politicians subscribe to. Therefore it is all the more important that you to vote in officials that will respect the laws for city, county, and State, as well as federal offices, and vote out those that don’t.
