Layoffs Coming at Federal Courts

excerpt:

Between 2,000 and 4,800 judicial employees may be laid off in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, said Carolyn Dineen King, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and chair of the executive committee of the Judicial Conference, the policy-making body of the judiciary.

1. Who can afford that whole rule of law thing anyway?

Now we'll have a lean, mean, shrunken justice machine

2. Falls under "Dismantling of government" then drown in bathtub.

This is the neocon plan and was from the start. When the courts are so crowded that it takes years to come before the bench, only the wealthy will be able to wait for it.

4. Prohibition of Failing to Establish Courts of Justice

It is a critical error to think that laws are oppressive and exist only to punish people. The Seven Laws are an intrinsic part of G-d's blueprint for creation; they serve as the foundation of moral behavior that promote the well- being of all. THIS FACT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IN A 1991 CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTION stating that "...ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws; ...without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos..." It goes on to state that Americans must not "lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future...." THE SEVEN LAWS MUST BE THE BASIS OF OUR LEGAL SYSTEM AND WE NEED COURTS TO ENFORCE THESE LAWS.

Judaism has always been a conquering religion, not for the purpose of converting gentiles to become Jews, but rather with the mission of returning the world to the universal covenant between G-d and Noah. For halachic reasons too numerous and detailed to list here, gentiles today who follow Christianity, Islam, or other religions are not, for the most part, "righteous gentiles" who inherit the World to Come. That status belongs only to those gentiles who carefully observe the Seven Laws of Noah, including following the halachic authority of the oral Torah and the rabbis.
<snip>
And as the Lubavitcher Rebbe has explained, by transforming the gentiles we can quickly create a vast army of supporters who will help us reveal Moshiach and bring all Jews back to the Torah. Specifically, the Rebbe has emphasized that the "peace process" in Israel will be defeated only through our influence on the gentiles—especially through the campaign to teach the Noachide Laws (see Sichos in English, vol. 16, <19 Kislev 5743>).

Our most pressing task, to put it simply, is to launch an international Noachide revolution without delay. The process has already begun, with dozens of tiny Noachide communities having appeared throughout the United States, generally composed of former Christians who have abandoned that religion. The task of organizing the revolution can be divided into two broad stages:

I) We must first create a new Noachide society as an international network of communities and organizations functioning inside, but separately from, the surrounding society (based on halachic requirements and directives, Noachide institutions function quite differently from their Christian and secular counterparts).
<snip>
2) In the second stage, the growing Noachide movement will seize political power—using only peaceful, lawful means—in the capitals of the Western nations. This, of course, will not take place until the Noachide society has grown to some threshold size. We do not know how large this needs to be nor which nations will join the revolution first, although the United States, as a fairly religious, conservative nation, certainly tops the list of prospects.

Upon seizing the reins of government, the new Noachide leaders will move quickly to implement a full agenda of reform. All economic and technological aid to the Communist Bloc, including the PLO, will be terminated immediately. Full support will be given to Israeli forces to reinvade PLO-controlled areas, with military assistance offered where necessary. Jewish courts (the batei dini of the rabbis) will be granted full legal sovereignty over Jewish citizens within each country, who will no longer be subject to the authority of gentile courts. The pre-existing Noachide judges and courts will replace the existing court system of each country, and the legal code will be drastically rewritten to conform to halacha; in the United States, the emphasis will be on restoring the authority of the Constitution and abolishing all unconstitutional government programs and agencies. The national debt will be foreclosed, probably by paying off creditors with government land holdings, thus averting economic disaster. And law and order will be fully restored through the establishment of internal security measures, again in accordance with Torah law.

5. Dulce, I'd rather trust civilization to the hammerabic laws ......

....than to any religeous fanaticism, whether it be muslim, christian, or judaic. I want laws based on the common interplay of peoples, not based on some fanitics interpretation on some off the wall cult. And, lets face it, they are all cults, no matter their label.

3. Yep, and the pukies are trying to steer cases to federal courts.

That was one of their brilliant ideas, since state courts are less realiable for big corporations. IIRC, they passed a law stating all suits against HMOs and insurance companies have to go through federal court, which will now likely mean you will die before ever seeing a penny.
