The power of one

Should one be so disruptive? Wolves, logging, mining, gun rights, all subject to the opinion of one, proclaiming he is not accountable to anyone.

Molloy reveals his severe lack of basic understanding of American government, in an interview with the Chronicle where he references:  “the state of the American Democracy he has sworn to protect.”

America is a Republic, not an “American Democracy”. Remember the Pledge of Allegiance, Sir? (and to the Republic for which it stands).  We are a Constitutional Republic ruled by law.

His claim of not swearing an oath to the Constitution, but to an “American Democracy”, explains his unconstitutional opinions. A judge is supposed to honor his oath to support the Constitution, securing the rights of the people. 

Mr. Molloy must learn about our Constitution and Republic, specifically article 3 section 1, discovering a judge serves a life term, but only during “good behavior.” As he studies, he will see what good behavior is. Unconstitutional opinions based on the Endangered Species Act or imaginative stretches of the “Commerce Clause” is not good behavior. He needs to back-up and swear the oath of office to the Constitution, revoking his allegiance to the undefined “American Democracy.”

Meanwhile since Mr. Molloy does not know the basics of being an American, our Congressman is obligated to start impeachment proceedings according to article 1 sect 2, removing this self-proclaimed sovereign from office.

Molloy speaks, unfazed by his critics. “The Founding Fathers gave judges lifelong appointments so they could make unpopular decisions.” The Constitution was popular enough to become the law of our land, and until it is amended it still is.
