'JUDICIAL OLIGARCHY' CITED AS BIG THREAT TO 2016 ELECTION
Daniel Horowitz warns voting 'will not matter' if system of governance remains upside down
The entire country is brimming with anticipation over whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will become the next president. However, it might make no difference who moves into the White House next January, according to Conservative Review senior editor Daniel Horowitz.
“It will not matter if we do not address some of the issues that are discussed in the book that speak to our society, our system of governance that is so flipped on its head, that has made it that elections don’t even matter if we don’t address them – particularly the judicial oligarchy,” Horowitz told host Susan Knowles on a recent episode of “Stand For Truth Radio.”
The book to which Horowitz referred is his newly released “Stolen Sovereignty: How to Stop Unelected Judges From Transforming America.”
In the book he argues the courts have overstepped their constitutional boundaries by deciding fundamental societal questions that are better left to the legislative branch.
“The courts have become the council of revision, a super-legislature over every single important political and social issue,” Horowitz told Knowles. “They are the No. 1 guardians of what is constitutional and what is not.
“But then No. 2, the people who work in that profession by and large subscribe to a thought process that the Constitution is unconstitutional. Literally, what’s in it they read out and what’s out they read in, and they have the final force of law, at least [they have] the perceived legitimacy of society.”
Horowitz said the courts were never intended to have the final say over societal questions. In fact, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton laughed at a colleague’s concern that the judicial branch could become the final arbiter of major societal questions. But time has proven that colleague, Robert Yates, to be prescient.
Now America is post-constitutional where judges routinely invent new “rights” and write them into the Constitution, according to Horowitz.
“What they do is they retroactively enshrine whatever’s in vogue during that given period within the legal profession into the Constitution,” the author explained. “So they make it law; they take it out of the province of the legislative process.”
One would think if progressive causes were so popular, the segment of America would be comfortable imposing its agenda through the legislative process or through constitutional amendments, Horowitz noted. But popular avenues of change are not enough for them.
“These people are cowards,” he charged.
“It is not enough for them that they control academia and media and the nonprofits and entertainment and now the business world, and they’re able to easily change the culture and implement their agenda, win elections through the legislative process. No, they want to codify it into our laws.”
Horowitz said immigration is the single biggest issue he worries about when it comes to judicial overreach because the people who reside in a country determine what type of society it will be.
Nothing is more fundamental than this issue, so it frightens Horowitz to see unelected judges granting amnesty to illegal aliens. Judicial amnesty makes it useless to elect politicians tough on immigration.
“Let’s say you get Donald Trump, and let’s say he does indeed follow through with his campaign promises,” Horowitz posited.
“I guarantee you the courts will encumber every last thing and say people have a Fourteenth Amendment right to stay here, and that’s already happening.”
Again, Horowitz accused progressives of being too cowardly to fight out the immigration issue in the legislatures.
“They don’t want to implement their agenda through the legislative process,” Horowitz said.
“They say, ‘Hey, we’re gonna take the ball away from the people, enshrine it retroactively into the Constitution, even though its 180 degrees against the Constitution, have the courts do it for us, and then there’s not a darn thing you can do about it.'”
Horowitz understands many Americans are frustrated with Congress, but he pointed out people at least have recourse if they don’t like what their congressmen do – they can vote them out at the next election. But judges cannot be voted out of office.
Horowitz’s solution, as he outlines in “Stolen Sovereignty,” is to strip the courts of their jurisdiction over major societal issues such as immigration, marriage and voting rights. He believes now is the time for bold action because America has reached a “nightmare scenario” of judicial activism.
“I am pulling the fire alarm to say that whatever reluctance people had to exercise Article III, Section 2 [of the Constitution] and have Congress limit [the federal courts’] jurisdiction over particularly broad social and political issues, such as abortion, the definition of marriage, religious liberty, certainly immigration enforcement… the notion we wouldn’t do that now is suicide.”
Horowitz urged listeners to imagine every state legislature, every governorship, every U.S. House and Senate seat and even the presidency were held by conservatives. Furthermore, he said, imagine these conservative politicians passed every conservative initiative voters desire.
“I can promise you every one of them will be tossed out by the courts, rendering the election meaningless if we don’t take action and fight back against the courts, bring that power back to the legislature,” Horowitz cautioned.
It will not be good enough for a Republican president to appoint more conservative judges, Horowitz advised. Congress and state legislatures need to reclaim their rightful power over major societal issues from an unaccountable judiciary.
“If we don’t get immigration under control, nothing will matter, no other issue you care about,” Horowitz warned.
“But if we don’t strip the courts of their veto power over all societal issues, most prominently immigration enforcement and the legality of the right to entry, the right to deport, the right to define citizenship laws, we won’t even be able to strive to change hearts and minds and win elections and reform that, because the courts will render it meaningless.”
