SAVE THE U.S. Supreme Court | KEEPNINE.org Published Monday, September 25, 2023 AT THE HISTORY CENTER THIS WEDNESDAY SAVE THE COURT SAVE THE NATION LEADER OF THE NATIONAL KEEP NINE MOVEMENT Oklahoma welcomes the national move to keep the U.S. Supreme Court at nine. Roman Buhler is the Director of the Madison Coalition, working to restore a balance of state and federal power. He served 14 years as the senior lawyer on election integrity issues for Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was originally hired by Newt Gingrich and was Gingrich's first House Committee Counsel. His major project is the proposed KeepNine Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, now backed by more than 200 Members of Congress and a total of more than 1,000 elected officials nationwide. The KEEP NINE Amendment: The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine Justices The pro-Court packing left is very close to achieving their goal of winning absolute tyrannical power in America. If they succeed in packing the Court the checks and balances that preserve our Constitutional Republic and the constitutional rights of every American are in mortal danger. The left is just one vote away in the U.S. Senate from being able to gut the Senate filibuster, add new states, and then, with control of the House and the White House, pack the Supreme Court. Sooner or later the left is likely to win temporary control of Washington to carry out their scheme. Winning elections will delay them, but not stop them. Only a Constitutional Amendment to ban Court packing can permanently end the Court packing threat. _________ Mr. Buhler lives in McLean, Va. and graduated from Stanford University, the University of Southern California (USC), and the Harvard Program for Senior Managers in Government. www.KeepNine.org Come and be a part of building an informed Oklahoma!

TABLE of CONTENTS BOB LINN Tyranny, Freedom, and Divine Rule  LAST WEEK Charles McCall | Ryan Walters  MARK YOUR CALENDER State Board of Education September 28, 2023 Meeting FAREWELL TO JIM GRIGSBY State Board of Education BOB LINN Tyranny, Freedom, and Divine Rule Fifty years ago, American theologian, Rousas John Rushdoony, said that the U.S. Supreme Court had become the supreme ruler of America. Today, America continues to grant to the Court supreme authority over the U.S. Congress, over the Executive Office, and over the meaning of the Constitution’s words and phrases. 236 YEARS AGO, LAST WEEK On Monday, September 17, 1787, Benjamin Franklin and 38 other men signed the U.S. Constitution. The Founders who signed the U.S. Constitution produced a nation ruled not by the passing whims of men tethered to autonomous thought determined with no reference to the transcendent origin of mankind. Our 18th century forefathers gave us a government designed for Christian men serving under the authority of God. Men committed to govern under the authority of fixed law, the only law which is able to guarantee freedom and justice for all. Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention, James McHenry, noted in his diary that on Tuesday, September 18, 1787, the day after the Constitution was signed, Philadelphia resident Elizabeth Powel asked Benjamin Franklin, “What have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” Dr. Franklin replied, “A republic if you can keep it.” The codicil cast a foreboding shadow over the event which had taken place the day before. Indeed, we have not been able to keep the republic our bold and courageous forefathers bequeathed us. We now suffer, as do our progeny, under the supreme rulership not of fixed law, but of a politicized and ideologically migratory court which functions on the uncertain principles of a declining culture and an untethered epistemological foundation. Rushdoony’s 20th century insight into the drift of American jurisprudence was never more affirmed than during the period of Donald Trump’s Presidency. Federal Courts at all levels let Americans know that it was the courts, not the Congress or the President, who ruled America. The consensus that the courts, not the U.S. Constitution, is the supreme authority in America has become fixed in the American psyche. This was never more obvious than last year’s protests in Washington D.C. Immediately after the court overturned Roe v Wade (June 24, 2022), organized protests advocated for, among other things, taking control of the country's political course by packing the U.S. Supreme Court. Court packing is the political left’s way of overcoming a court with whom they disagree. They seek to add additional political radicals to the court in order to move forward with their plans to continue to dismantle our once Christian nation. Today, it is the common understanding that the courts rule America. State and Federal Legislators, ordained by the Constitution to make law, shudder at the possibility that the courts, ordained by the Constitution to interpret law, will instead strike down their laws. It is understood by all that the U.S. Supreme court has become not an institution enforcing the fixed original intent of the U.S. Constitution each is sworn to uphold, but is, rather, a force to enforce a political ideology. That is why, once the Oval Office was occupied by a radical leftist, far-left members of the U.S. Congress held a press conference advocating the packing of the court. Benjamin Franklin’s comment about the tenuous nature of a republic was a shot across the bow. Franklin articulated a warning which is unappreciated by the general public today. Today, we are ruled by those who have removed the foundation of Biblical law and who pursue a government untethered to divine absolutes. Men disconnected from their divine origins follow policies which benefit the ruling class. Supreme power today rests in the U.S. Supreme Court, a court grounded in the shifting sands of cultural collapse. The enemies of the American republic are now calling for the expansion of the court in order to establish their leftist domination. The bold leadership of the Founders produced a land of Christian freedom based on the fixed assets of constitutional law represents a call for that same bold leadership from each of us today. I hope to see you all this Wednesday at the Oklahoma History Center. __________ Social systems which have no Christian basis (the only one capable of transforming man) inevitably become systems of violence and slavery. ~Dostoevsky We are in desperate need of returning our nation and our state to Biblical foundations.
