11 decide for a whole state

It is interesting how much our judges and non-representing representatives talk about and do all they can to enforce separation of church and state, but do nothing to enforce the separation of powers set down the constitution. We now have 11 judges in Iowa who have decided for the entire state that gay marriage will be legal. Since when did judges get the power to write laws? Oh I know they've found a loophole, they don't call it writing new laws, just interpreting them into existence through wild interpretation of the constitution.

These judges seem unable to correctly interpret the most straightforward and simple statements of the constitution, but somewhere in there they found the right to gay marriage. No need to risk the citizens voting on it, and certainly no reason to leave it up to incompetent legislators to write a law (who sadly do show themselves to be incompetent voting for laws they don't even read); these judges will simply decide what they think is best and declare it to be so.

The very fact that they are usurping constitutional powers not granted to them ought to be cause enough to impeach them, but there is little doubt that nothing will be done. No high ranking government official will ever vote out one of their own. Yes, you would think the legislators would be outraged to have their jobs usurped, but then the our non-representing representatives either don't know the constitution or just don't care about it any more.

I cannot help but wonder how much longer the American people will stand for this sort of behavior from our leaders? Our freedoms are being thrown to the winds along with our constitution in the name of political correctness. Our leaders feel little or no responsibility to those they are supposed to be serving. It seems more that they feel the people are there to further their ends.

Notice how many of the following Constitutional articles have been set aside. The people are not outraged because all too many people have never taken the 20-30 minutes it takes to read this simple document. The media feign ignorance as though it's not their responsibility. The following violations I found with hardly a glance.

LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR CONSTITUTION!!!!

I flatly find it amazing how the Constitution is being shredded by our leaders with hardly a word from the "watchdogs" of society, the press.

Following are just a few examples of how the constitution is being completely ignored. It doesn't take a supreme court justice to understand these things as they are written. Both their intent and their actual words are quite clearly understood by anyone with common sense. Why then is there little more than passing mention by the media instead of searing spotlight exposing what they're doing till something happens.

Article 1, Section 9

The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless

when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

(Doesn't this apply to war criminals and enemy combatants?)

No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence

of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account

of the Receipts and Expenditures of ALL public Money shall be

published from time to time.

Article 1, Section 10

Section 10. No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or

Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money;

emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender

in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law,

or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

(So why all the paper money? Why are they trying to impair obligations of contracts?) To your credit there was some small reporting on the constitutional basis for this though not much.

Article 1, Section 6

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected,

be appointed to any civil Office under the authority of the United States,

which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been

increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the

United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance

in Office.

(this applies to Hillary Clinton being put in position of Secretary of State, but hey it's only the constitution!)

Article 2, Section 1

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States,

at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to

the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that

Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years,

and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

(how shall we know the president meets this demand of the constitution unless he proves it which Obama is still stonewalling every demand for prove. If he's already proved it then why not release his school records and give access to all his birth records? Yet this does not cause even enough concern to mention it on the news)

We are getting the government we deserve, though I don't think we're going to like it a bit once we have it and we won't get rid of it. When power is consolidated in one place and had too much time for that consolidation it is rare that anything happens to turn things back.

I hope you will take the small amount of time it takes to look at the constitution and see just what powers judges were given and consider what powers they are now taking.
