From World Net Daily earlier this afternoon:
Kagan, Ginsburg acted ‘unethically and unlawfully’
Constitutional experts call for review of Supremes’ marriage ruling
“The participation by Justices Ginsburg and Kagan in the Obergefell decision violated federal judicial ethics, and a federal statute. These justices were under a duty to recuse and not participate in that decision. Without their two votes in favor of same sex marriage, the traditional marriage laws in your states would have been upheld on a vote of four to three, with two justices not participating. Until the decision was issued, the American people had no way to know if these two justices were going to recuse. Now that the decision is issued, we know that they did participate – unethically and unlawfully.”
We “know” genie out of bottle, train left station, Pandora’s box opened, ship sailed . . . but exposing the mendacity of liberals will always reign supreme with us.
It customarily takes four justices to agree to hear a case. Granting a rehearing might be outside “custom” and internal politics might ensue. Read more about the grant of a hearing here.
The petitioners are not legal lightweights or grand-standers. This attempt could gain traction as far as getting the identified state Attorney’s General to file the petition with a big push from pro-traditional marriage churches in those states. They could do so from the pulpit and with every element under their influence.
The attempt would serve the interest of pursuing a Constitutional Amendment and or other corrective actions to the power of the SCOTUS to subvert the Constitution and the rule of law.
The article includes contact information for the four state Attorney’s General that were part of the case the SCOTUS heard.
They ask people to contact Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuete at (517) 373-1110, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine at (800) 282-0515, Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III at (615) 741-3491 or Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway at (502) 696-5300.
