Welcome to the glorious international court of global warming, court with most power in all the land. Global warming Czar welcomes you and says that you are not to worry about silly things like "sovereignty" and "democracy." Glorious leader has taken this burden from you for betterment of world. You act upset at having modern life taken from you, but be happy. Your sacrifice is for all. Hail all powerful court of global warming and thank supreme leader, Mary Christina Wood. Bow to her and thank her that world is safe. Don't look her in the eye, though. You are worm to her.
"The main problem with climate is that no government is taking responsibility for it and our government is sitting idle while this catastrophe is unfolding," Wood said. "There's no other body of law that requires the government to act. But a trustee has to act to protect the body of the trust."In another interview, Wood went further:
I characterize the atmosphere as an asset that the people own in common. The government is a trustee of that asset. This approach has a basis in our environmental law. You can even think of it as an attribute of sovereignty ... that is, the duty of government to protect our natural resources. The atmosphere is one of those natural resources. In fact, it's the most crucial resource in our trust, because it holds everything else together.And the fearmonger begins to open her bag of tricks to scare the people into casting away the Constitution, turning away from sovereignty, giving up property rights, and forgetting about freedom because of the "dire emergency" we face. After all, regardless of her claims, these rights will have to be cast aside so that her laws and rules will have the power of coercion. There is no room for anything less than the total supplication to Mary Wood and her legal stranglehold lest her efforts lack the teeth to "work." This harlot of the bar imagines the court to rule over all saying, "a judge can order an accounting against any level of government." It doesn't matter what the Constitution says, what the people vote on. The judges shall control it all. ALL power in the hands of an unelected elite, all guided by the Czarina of global warming herself. As a warning I give you words often attributed to Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." That environmental pied piper, Mary Wood, is bound and determined to make us all undeserving of that liberty. Naturally, instead of being in the hands of either science or the hands of our duly, democratically elected representatives, power-mongers like Mary Wood would hand all powers to regulate our daily lives to lawyers. Remember, it's for our own good. And the lawyers are lining up to fill their pockets with Mary Wood's gospel.
Greg Costello is one of the public interest attorneys evaluating Wood’s proposal as the basis for potential lawsuits. He thinks it could be a successful legal strategy because it’s grounded in a widely accepted principle of common law.Yes, to hell with all that "of the people, by the people, and for the people" junk. Let us remove the power from the hands of the unenlightened rabble we call "the people." Give us a yoke on our necks placed there by lawyers. We cattle are not intelligent enough to live our lives without the strong, more sensible hand of Czarina Mary Wood guiding us. Pity the poor "people" who are but sheep before the intellectual might of the few, the proud, the lawyers. This is one of the most self-righteous, dangerous, power-mad, unAmerican cretins in the country today. Every American should be made aware of this threat to our way of life. She is far more dangerous than her mythical global warming could ever be for she is willing to destroy all we have, all we are, and all we could be to satisfy her hunger for control over our lives. I'll leave you with the words of Thomas Jefferson, words he took from history and appeared in the last letter he is known to have written.
"All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind have not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately by the grace of God." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Roger C. Weightman, June 24, 1826Let us not now turn to scientists and lawyers and hand them the whip and spurs as tools to ride us now. We have come too far to allow pretender messiahs to enslave us all.
