Dear Fellow American, Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, wrote:"You seem to think that the Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of constitutional
interpretation, a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one that would place us under
the tyranny of an oligarchy." How wise Jefferson was. Yet even Jefferson could
not have foreseen what the Supreme Court has done to the Constitution of the United
States since 1962. Just think what five unelected judges have done to our nation's
moral framework. In 1962, they ruled prayer out of the public schools. In 1963,
they ruled the Bible out of public schools. In 1973, they applied a "right of
privacy" not found in the Constitution as the basis for opening the door to the
slaughter of more than 43,000,000 innocent unborn children. Subsequent federal
courts have ruled the Ten Commandments were illegal in schools, that statues of
Jesus were illegal in public parks, that prayers on a map in North Carolina were
illegal, and that it was illegal for little elementary school children to give
thanks over their milk and cookies at snack time. Now, the Supreme Court has declared
a constitutional right to consensual sodomy and, by the language in its decision,
has opened the door to homosexual marriages, bigamy, legalized prostitution, and
even incest. The framers of our Constitution never intended anything like this
to take place in our land. Yet we seem to be helpless to do anything about it.
Why? Because we are under the tyranny of a nonelected oligarchy. Just think, five
unelected men and women who serve for life can change the moral fabric of our
nation and take away the protections which our elected legislators have wisely
put in place. But there is a higher tribunal than the United States Supreme Court.
There is the Judge of all the earth. We must earnestly come before Him now and
cry out for redress of our grievances. He loves America as much as we do, and
He does not wish to destroy it. But no culture has ever endured which has turned
openly to homosexuality. And no society has ever been spared the wrath of God
which has been guilty of slaughtering tens of millions of the innocent. In short,
by its distorted reading of the religion clause of the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution and its "discovery" of emanations from the 14th Amendment
called "penumbras," the Supreme Court is bringing upon this nation the wrath of
God when the precious liberties that we love so much may be taken away from all
of us. Would you join with me and many others in crying out to our Lord to change
the Court? If we fast and pray and earnestly seek God's face, then He will hear
our prayer and give us relief. One justice is 83 years old, another has cancer,
and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it
in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire? With their
retirement and the appointment of conservative judges, a massive change in federal
jurisprudence can take place. We can have a court that no longer legislates from
the bench the wishes of The New York Times and The Washington Post, but which
will earnestly seek to interpret the Constitution as it is written and to give
meaning to the centuries of moral standards which have undergirded this wonderful
country called the United States of America. Please join us in prayer to support
a massive prayer offensive we are calling Operation Supreme Court Freedom. "With
man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).
God bless you. Yours in Christ, Pat Robertson
