I'd say it's past being imperiled.. did you read what Sandra Day O'Connor has recently said?
Yeah I saw what the old hag said about "Republicans" attacking the judiciary.

Well I see it this way.. you have to consider sources.. and take that very much into account.. but there are times when even the worst of them truth.. read between the lines..
1) get rid of the friggin l--o--n--gggggggg titles [Shit! I thought that todd had been allowed access here]. 2) YOUR title, given all its friggin length IS NOT AT THE SOURCE LINK. Sheesh......this is beginning internet 101!
Having a poor day, Dee? Cheers up there.
Yes it is. Read the whole thing.

Yeah..........waking up to a Todder is toooooooo much. :(
Look, asshole...........I clicked on the link you provided......and there is NOT A TITLE, NOR EVEN PARAGRAPH HEADING WITH THIS TITLE. Go blow your ass out so YOU CAN SEE better............and have a nice day.
Hang in there - it has suddenly become summer here - temps approaching 90 for two days now and chemtrails everywhere.
Oh, I shall be OK....I reckon. Our weather has moderated,too, though not nearly that high a temperature (thank God for that), though we do still get some flurries. I sort of figure that is the I AM's way of telling us not to get overly excited about getting out in the yards and flower beds just yet! But spring is just around the corner. And because of that, I reckon I should get back off here and go back to Bible study. I've really been having a wonderful time with that. God is so good, though were people to just pick up the Bible and start reading in Jeremiah, they might not feel that way. But I really like that fella--he and Job. Both were really patient. And poor Jeremiah. To keep up the same old waltz routine nonstop for 40+ years knowing full well everyone else wanted to cha-cha! But he was some patriot. His heart grieved like a lot of ours for what was happening to his land of birth. Well.......Jim, take care for now.
The words are in the article. I'm sorry your reading ability isn't up to the task. Try the find on this page function in firefox. I take it you disagree with the substance.

Hey Rowdee, I just thought that statement hit it on the nail. So I posted it OK. That statement is in the text of the article that is linked at the top. Have a good day.

Thanks for the hint - I need to get back to the "studying thyself approved" sort of stuff myself. Rest well, Dee.
This is in error as is shown by the following quote. "Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature." James Garfield Quite simply, if the people are corrupt, so will those who they elect to represent them. This can only be changed when the people reclaim their fidelity and allow a return to morality. What I believe is being advocated here is civil disobedience. That is a far greater tool to bring government in line with the will of the people. I saw the actual title of the article this came from, and in the very first paragraph, it says the people are the fourth branch of government. This is also in error. The three branches of government and each should be a check on the other or two on one to keep them within their bounds. The fourth branch which is mistakenly referred to here is actually the jury. The jury is the fourth and final check against tyranny in government, by the power of jury nullification.
“If a nation or an individual values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that too.” W. Somerset Maugham
