Courting Disaster: How the Supreme Court is Usurping the Power of Congress and the People by Pat Robertson

After reading Roy Moore’s book, “So Help Me God”, I found this to be an excellent book to broaden the areas of law that Supreme Court rulings are negatively impacting. Very eye opening!   ~George~

From the Inside Flap:

 For the past century, America's federal judges have steadily expanded their authority, reaching far beyond the rights given by the Constitution. And in the past fifty years, this perversion of justice and the radicalization of the courts have only escalated. Liberal courts have charged ahead of Congress, waging war on morality, values and time-honored custom. Their unrestricted power goes largely unchecked today and threatens the very foundations of Liberty.

In "Courting Disaster", Pat Robertson examines the evidence for this assault on American democracy and provides a compelling portrait of what's really at stake. This landmark work reveals how judicial activism has eroded the rights of individuals, states and local communities, and how it is dramatically altering our form of government -- defying the will of the people.

"Courting Disaster" calls for an objective look at the consequences of this crisis -- hostility to religion, radical individualism, destruction of moral standards and the devaluing of human life -- showing how a just and civil society is being destroyed from within.

"Courting Disaster" is a thoroughly documented, and powerful challenge to all Americans to take action. And it offers a fresh, penetrating list of tactical strategies that citizens can employ before time runs out.

So Help Me God: The Ten Commandments, Judicial Tyranny, and the Battle for Religious Freedom by Roy Moore

If you are looking for a new hero with integrity and unshakable principles, meet Roy Moore through this book. This, my first book to read regarding the Supreme Court, was an eye opener to see what outside influences are doing to our country.  ~George~

From the publisher:

Chief Justice Roy Moore believes the state must acknowledge the moral principles on which America was founded and that it is not illegal to do so. While the separation of church and state may be a credible and legitimate tenet, it has been largely misconstrued and abused during the last forty years.

Moore was sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. His critics, both within conservative circles and without, have maintained that he violated the law by disobeying the order of a federal judge to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments. But Moore argues that those who have ordered him to violate his oath have, in fact, broken the law.

So Help Me God explains why he believes elected and appointed government officials have the right and the obligation to acknowledge God as the foundation of American government and jurisprudence.

Heritage.Org

Heritage.org is a research and educational institution that promotes the principles of free
enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a
strong national defense.

What I really like about this site is their initiatives for reclaiming America's first
principles. The documents they produce are valuable to understanding our founding
documents. Two such documents are:

How to read the Constitution

How to read the Federalist Papers

This website houses a wealth of information and deserves to be "bookmarked'.

Black Belt Patriotism - How to Reawaken America by Chuck Norris

   This book was my wake-up call. When I first read it last Fall, it challenged me to learn more about my faith and traditional values. The core message of the Declaration of Independence is that everyone has a God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The more I read, the more I understood that these rights are under constant attack from Judges who ignore the Constitution and legislates from the bench. They are also under attack by the media and liberal/progressive legislators, among others.
   In just ten chapters, Mr. Norris not only examines many of the problems plaguing America today, but also provides insight on how to reclaim the America our founding fathers gave us through the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
   I like this well documented book; it's a good first read. Walker,I mean Mr. Norris, pulled no punches!

Constitutional Sources Project

From the Constitutional Sources Project website:

Founded in May of 2005 and launched on the Constitution's 220th birthday, ConSource, also known as The Constitutional Sources Project, is a non-profit, public organization aimed at creating the first, free, comprehensive, online library of Constitution-related source materials including over 20,000 authoritative transcripts and high quality digital images of the original documents. ConSource engenders no political creed or doctrine.

What I really like about this digital library is the ease of use and the curriculums that cover from grades 4 through college. Go figure, a civics course using source documents!

Constituting America

Constituting America is a great website to learn about our Constitution. Founded by Janine Turner, the stated mission is to reach, educate and inform America's youth and her citizens about the importance of the U.S. Constitution and the foundation it sets forth regarding our freedoms and rights. Her program is called 90 plus 90 = 180. This represents 90 days of reading, the Constitution in 5 days and the Federalist Papers in 85 days resulting in a 180 degree about turn back to the history that yields our future.

The reading schedule is archived on her blog and can be started at any time. I'm currently on day 9. I especially like the guest blogger comments.
