\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

RUSH: The Supreme Court\u2019s gone. Even at eight members in a case like this, you count on Justice Kennedy to join \u2019em, the four libs. So you essentially have a 5-3 leftist court now.  But it\u2019s not a court.  It is a partisan echo chamber of the Democrat Party or leftist agenda.  We have a Democrat nominee, Hillary, who\u2019s wiped away — just erased — all objections to corruption as a disqualifying factor for Democrats. <\/p>\n

Democrats are making it clear they don\u2019t care how corrupt their leaders are.  In fact, the more corrupt their leaders are — if it enables them to defeat us — the better.  So here\u2019s to corruption.  If it takes corruption — if it takes all kinds of Clintons funny money, Clinton foundations — if it takes selling the White House and selling the presidency to foreign entities, fine, as long as that helps beat conservatives.  This wasn\u2019t the case that long ago.  Budgets don\u2019t mean anything anymore.  The debt doesn\u2019t mean anything. <\/p>\n

The deficit, the national debt? None of it has any relevance!  None of it has any limiting meaning.  There is no responsibility whatsoever coming out of Washington when it comes to budgeting, when it comes to economics, when it comes to legislation. There isn\u2019t any responsibility or even adult behavior coming out of that town.  Social Security and Medicare are racing to insolvency.  Public school bathrooms and how they are used became a presidential concern.  Voter ID, a way to ensure legitimacy at the polls, is considered unfair. <\/line><\/p>\n

Yeah, we can\u2019t embark on any major step to ensure legality and fairness at the polls because it\u2019s called racism and sexism and bigotry and everything else! The president enforces laws of his choosing in defiance of federal court and federal appellate court rulings, and if I understand the Supreme Court decision today on abortion, I guess back-alley abortions weren\u2019t really a problem because all Texas did was try to enhance safety procedures for women who wanted to get abortions.  “No, no, no, no!” the left said.<\/p>\n

“You are not gonna put any limit whatsoever, even if it means popularizing the equivalent of back-alley abortions.”  And I\u2019m gonna tell you, folks, when it comes to abortion, yes, the substance of the issue matters. But beating us is just as motivating and just as important.  If you doubt me, listen to audio sound bite number one. It\u2019s Jeffrey Toobin, legal beagle at CNN, who was asked by Jake Tapper today, “The Supreme Court could have divided 4-4. They could have kicked this back to the lower court.  That would have upheld the Texas law. But they staked out a stance on this, Jeffrey.”<\/p>\n

TOOBIN:  As we have said so often, this decision was in the hands of Anthony Kennedy, who was the swing vote.  What makes this decision so significant is that after 2010 — after the Republican landslides and all the state legislatures — many states, not just Texas, passed restrictions that are very similar to these Texas rules. Louisiana, Mississippi. And so if the Supreme Court has now struck down these restrictions, it is very likely that other courts will strike down a variety of restrictions that Republican-dominated legislatures have passed since are left.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Don\u2019t doubt me.  You hear that? Of all the things this guy could have said about this ruling, the substance, he didn\u2019t even talk about it.  What did he talk about?  The crucial importance of this victory is how it thwarts the results of the 2010 Republican landslide midterm election victory.  That\u2019s what\u2019s important about it.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Here\u2019s what the Texas law basically did that\u2019s been struck down on abortion. But I\u2019m telling you, as far as the left is concerned, the big deal here is that the meaning… One of the things that happened as the result of the 2010 Republican landslide has been beat-back.  Beating us is as big a deal to them.  This did not threaten abortion, but they believe any law — any law — that stands in the way of any abortion any time has got to be stopped because it\u2019s a trend toward banning abortion. <\/p>\n

What would have happened here, Texas argued before the court, is that in its 2013 law and subsequent regulations were needed to protect women\u2019s health.  The rules that Texas implemented required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.  And the law forced clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surge.  And the pro-aborts looked at this as efforts to limit abortion.  What they were, were efforts to make it safer.  To the extent that it might have limited abortion by eliminating certain clinics, yeah, you could see that, and that\u2019s what the pro-aborts saw.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“No, no, no! We\u2019re not gonna limit our clinics.  You\u2019re not gonna shut us down no matter what goes on in there.  It doesn\u2019t matter.  You are not gonna win! You\u2019re not gonna have one win when it comes to abortion.  Abortion is constitutional, and we\u2019re not gonna allow you one maneuver even if it is legitimately made to have qualified doctors and qualified outpatients.”  They don\u2019t care.  Making sure the abortion happens is the nut of the political agenda.  And defeating us in the process is not just icing on the cake; it\u2019s practically as important as the substance of the case. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  No, I\u2019m not exaggerating the Supreme Court decision here. That\u2019s why I said, “Apparently back-alley abortions weren\u2019t really a problem.”  Apparently abortuaries that are no better than veterinary clinics like Kermit Gosnell\u2019s are apparently not a problem.  “You\u2019re not gonna put any limits. You\u2019re not gonna put safety standards. You\u2019re not gonna do anything to our abortion clinics even under the guys of making it safe that might make it tougher to get an abortion. We\u2019re not gonna allow it!” And that\u2019s exactly what the court said. <\/p>\n

So the next to you hear \u2019em talking about… They\u2019re not.  There just… This is filthy, is what it is.  You know what the grating thing is? These are the people who somehow get the credit for having all the compassion for their fellow human beings.  These are the people that get the credit for having so much love and tolerance, compassion, understanding.  They are brutal, these people on the left.  Now, get this, folks. We\u2019re under assault. We\u2019re under siege everywhere.  Richard Posner.  He may pronounce it “Pozz-ner;” there are two different pronunciations. <\/p>\n

Vladimir Posner, Soviet Union spokesman, friend of Phil Donahue, pronounced it “Pose-ner.”  This judge, he\u2019s a Seventh Circuit judge, Richard Posner — appointed by Reagan; important to keep in mind here — “and has been alternately praised and condemned by judicial analysts.” This guy, Seventh Circuit judge Richard Posner, posted today a little article at Slate.com, saying that it\u2019s time now that US judges stop studying the Constitution. <\/p>\n

The Constitution, as a reference point for the law, is outdated, past its time, unhelpful, and irrelevant.  He said in his post at Slate. “I see absolutely no value to a judge spending decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, or seconds studying the Constitution, the history of its enactment, its amendments, and it\u2019s implementation.”  It\u2019s only the official law of the land, and here\u2019s a Seventh Circuit judge saying it\u2019s worthless! <\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the law of the land. The amendments? Its implementation? It\u2019s a waste of time even if you spend seconds studying it.  “‘Eighteenth-century guys, however smart, could not foresee the culture, technology, etc., of the 21st century,\u2019 he continued. ‘Which means that the original Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the post-Civil War amendments (including the 14th), do not speak to today.'” The story\u2019s at Mediaite<\/a>.  They conclude this with this paragraph: <\/p>\n

“Posner, an influential jurist who has served as a federal judge for thirty-five years, has previously voiced his disregard for the Constitution. “‘I\u2019m not particularly interested in the 18th Century, nor am I particularly interested in the text of the Constitution. I don\u2019t believe that any document drafted in the 18th century can guide our behavior today,\u2019 he said during a 2015 colloquium.” He\u2019s not a dumb guy by any stretch, but this presents a total misunderstanding of what the Constitution is.  It\u2019s a profound distortion of what the Constitution is. <\/p>\n

This is stunning. <\/p>\n

The Constitution planted the roots of American exceptionalism — again, defined by the fact that America was the “exception” to the way and the rule of life for humanity centuries before.  The Constitution… Well, Magna Carta. Magna Carta. I guess we\u2019d have to say Magna Carta was first, but the US Constitution was the first document to ever limit the government.  And that is why the opponents want to get rid of it, because it limits the government.  It does not empower government.  It empowers citizens.  It empowers individuals. <\/p>\n

The Constitution spends all of its time, the Bill of Rights, defining what the government cannot do.  And that just irritates people who think the government ought to be able to do anything and everything, because other people — average people — are not competent or qualified to make their own decisions. Or, it\u2019s worse than that. It\u2019s just people that are totally power mad and power hungry who doesn\u2019t believe in representative government, do not believe in republics. <\/p>\n

But to say that the Constitution cannot guide our behavior today? It has successfully.  That\u2019s one of the brilliant aspects of the document is it\u2019s timelessness.  Really, the whole thing is a miracle.  The entire United States is a miracle, from the Pilgrims arrival to the drafting of the Declaration to the Revolutionary War, the whole thing\u2019s a miracle.  And the drafting of the Constitution has never been done before and hasn\u2019t been done since except in a copycat kind of way. <\/p>\n

\"large\"But there\u2019s no value in studying its enactment, its amendments, its implications because what\u2019s in it isn\u2019t relevant to today? It\u2019s the law of the land.  Anyway, this guy\u2019s appointed by Reagan, and he\u2019s been around for 35 years on the court, which just illustrates how people can lose their grounding.  It\u2019s amazing.  This is the kind of thing, by the way, that\u2019s gonna be latched onto.  There\u2019s a whole movement on the left that agrees with this and that thinks the Constitution…<\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve told you before, they call it “a charter of negative liberties.”  You know, when I first heard that, I said, “How can liberty be negative? What the hell does that mean?”  And it was insider lingo for leftists who think that the Constitution has negative liberties because it tells government what it can\u2019t do, and that\u2019s not good.  “We need something that spells out what the government can do, what the government will do, not what the government can\u2019t do.” <\/p>\n

And it\u2019s forever going to come under assault and attack in a variety of ways, and this is just most recent one.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Adam in Charleston, South Carolina.  Great to have you with us today, sir.  Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (garbled) Hello, Rush.  First-time caller and longtime listener.  Could you explain to me without using the term “double standard” how our elected officials — our state legislators — trying to impose regulations to keep women safer get denied, yet nongovernment employees like the EPA impose sanctions and regulations on businesses, and they get put out of business all the time?<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Well, honestly, I had very much trouble understanding what you said.  Not your fault.  It\u2019s my cochlear implants and (impression of muffled audio).  That\u2019s what you sound like.  I had to read what you said, so I\u2019m a little behind.  I think what you\u2019re asking me is, how is it that some Texas state officials will pass a legitimate law guaranteed or designed to make abortion safer and Supreme Court comes along and says, “No way, no how! You can\u2019t do that. It\u2019s unconstitutional. Screw you!” <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, over here, the EPA can write whatever regulations it wants outside of any congressional action and it becomes law and can never be challenged, right?  If that\u2019s the question, it\u2019s a great question; it\u2019s a great illustration of exactly what kind of things we\u2019re up against.  The EPA is not the only bureaucracy doing these kinds of things, issuing… The number of regulations that come out of the Obama administration, folks, are in the tens of thousands. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s gotten to the point where it may be impossible for an average citizen to go through the day without violating some federal law or regulation.  There are that many of them.  Now, I\u2019m gonna give you a generic answer to how come the EPA can do this.  It\u2019s not complicated to explain.  But apparently it\u2019s very, very hard to do.  The Constitution has this thing in it called separation of powers.  You see, the Founders distrusted all power in the hands of a single person or entity, so they divided the government up into three branches. <\/line><\/p>\n

You had the courts over here called the judiciary.  Then you had the executive branch, which is the president and his cabinet, which includes a Department of Justice and the national security apparatus and the military.  And it now includes things like Homeland Security and whatever presidents have created in the process.  OSHA was created by Richard Nixon, for example, and EPA was created by Richard Nixon.  It was not part of the founding.  They were political constructs. <\/p>\n

In Nixon\u2019s case he was trying, I think, show liberals he wasn\u2019t a bad guy by giving them things that they liked.  Didn\u2019t work.  They hated him.  They were never gonna stop hating him.  And then they had the legislative branch, which is House and the Senate.  Now, the founders knew that there was gonna be a never-ending fight for federal power.  It\u2019s why they divided it up three ways.  But they were smart. They were students of history, and they knew that all presidents would try to eventually become kings. <\/p>\n

They knew that every member of Congress would want to become president.  They were very wary of what judges would do.  So they put limits.  The simple answer to your question is: If you want to stop the EPA from writing regulations that become law, Congress has to stand up and protect its turf.  Congress has to call the EPA in and tell the administrator that the last 10,000 regulations are defunct and unconstitutional because they didn\u2019t go through Congress — and if you don\u2019t like it, eat it! <\/p>\n

If Congress isn\u2019t willing to protect its turf, Adam, then the president will be able to walk all over them, and the judiciary will be able to walk all over \u2019em. The president and his cabinet will be able to walk all over \u2019em.  It\u2019s no more complicated than that.  I mean, that\u2019s the cure for it.  The Constitution was brilliant in this way.  It set up all kinds of obstacles.  It built gridlock into the system, for crying out loud.  Gridlock is heralded as one of these horrible things because it stops government from making laws. <\/p>\n

No. <\/p>\n

Gridlock is a godsend.  Gridlock is the thing that stands in the way of government growing inexorably and unstoppably.  They built the Senate and designed the Senate to act slowly.  The Senate is there to practically shut down every piece of legislation that comes out of the House.  Every spending bill. By virtue of the Constitution, every penny that is spent in this country must first be authorized by the House of Representatives, and the committee that does that is Ways and Means — and if Congress doesn\u2019t authorizes the spending, it can\u2019t happen. <\/line><\/p>\n

So if a renegade agency of the executive branch starts spending money… It\u2019s got a budget. If it starts spending money or doing this or that that has not been authorized, it\u2019s up to Congress to stand up and say, “You can\u2019t do it.”  It\u2019s like anything else.  If the cops aren\u2019t gonna chase criminals, they\u2019re gonna get away with it.  If when we catch criminals, we don\u2019t put \u2019em in jail for whatever reason, they\u2019re gonna keep getting away with it, they\u2019re gonna get away with it.<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re not allowed to catch criminals because of stupid things like “profiling,” they\u2019re never gonna get caught in the first place.  So if Congress wants to rein in all these out-of-control bureaucracies, they could do it.  I\u2019m sure if I had a member here they\u2019d tell me, “Yeah, yeah. Theoretically you\u2019re right, Mr. Limbaugh. But in practice it would be very, very difficult.  There would be all kinds of retribution.”  I\u2019m sure there would be.  None of this is supposed to be easy. <\/p>\n

But all of this, Adam, is about power. Every single shred of this is about power and the quest for it.  That\u2019s another aspect of brilliance in the Constitution.  It is to limit that power residing in the federal government.  And the federal government as constituted today is led by people who want to rip the Constitution to shreds and either just dispose of it or rewrite it, granting them the power they don\u2019t have now. And in lieu of that, they\u2019re acting as though they do.<\/p>\n

And when you have the House of Representatives telling the president, “Sir, we\u2019re not going to stop you on the budget.  If you want a budget, we\u2019ll give you what you want because we don\u2019t want to harm our candidate in this year\u2019s campaign for the presidency. And, Mr. President, because of your race we\u2019re not gonna ever bring impeachment charges.”  Well, if you\u2019re a president subsumed with quest for power, you have just been given blue skies and green lights the likes of which a Congress has never before granted an executive. <\/p>\n

Why would Obama stop? <\/p>\n

“Well, because, Rush, he\u2019s a great American. He\u2019s a patriot. He\u2019ll realize here what\u2019s going on.  He ought not take advantage of it and have a respect for the rule of law.”  Respect for the rule of law? Who are we talking about here?  We\u2019re talking about statist, socialist, Big Government, liberal Democrats who have just been given blue skies and green lights for the rest of his term, and he got it two years ago! Why would he stop?  Same thing with the IRS.  The IRS should not be able to penalize any Tea Party group simply because of politics.<\/p>\n

But they will if nobody stops \u2019em.  And the rule of law, if it ceases to exist, is not gonna stop \u2019em.  The piece of paper the Constitution\u2019s written on is not gonna stop \u2019em.  It takes somebody blocking \u2019em and tackling \u2019em.  And if you don\u2019t have the appetite for it, then it\u2019s gonna continue to happen.  Meanwhile, the people see all this and they\u2019re livid.  They want it stopped.  Because all these EPA regulations and all this other caca coming out of Congress is doing nothing but making it harder and harder and harder to simply earn a living, much less achieve the American dream. <\/line><\/p>\n

They want it stopped.  They want this stuff all taken out of their way.  Some do.  Hopefully still most.  But if the Congress — and this is not an attack on this current one per se.  Theoretically, if Congress is not going to stop the executive branch from trying to take its power away, the executive branch is gonna keep taking its power away.  It\u2019s human nature. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re the kind of person who wants power over other people.  I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re the kind of person who wants to amass power at your job or in your family, but rest assured people who do are everywhere, and many of them are in government, and it\u2019s the sole reason they\u2019re there.  The Constitution be damned.  With the amount of money this government collects because of the vast economy of this nation, you are talking about trillions and trillions of dollars, and where does it all end up?  In Washington, DC at something called the Department of the Treasury and at the Federal Reserve in their banks. <\/p>\n

But theoretically it\u2019s all in Washington.  That\u2019s where the collection agency is. That\u2019s where the people who authorize its taxation and spending are, and so that\u2019s where you want to be if you want your share of it.  And that is a microcosm of exactly what\u2019s happening now.  Go to the Washington, you\u2019ll find the unemployment\u2019s rate\u2019s 3%. You\u2019ll find the per capita income in Washington and the surrounding area dwarfs anywhere else in the country outside of the Hamptons and Beverly Hills and San Francisco and other sufficient places, but it\u2019s right up there. <\/p>\n

They are experiencing no immigration problems in Washington or surrounding environs.  They are certainly not experiencing any unemployment.  They\u2019re not seeing their wages decline.  They\u2019re seeing, in fact, record amounts of money being collected to be fought over and distributed and used for whatever purposes necessary to acquire and gain even more power.  And if those who are constitutionally mandated, as the House of Representatives and the Senate are, with a certain amount of constitutional power, if they\u2019re not gonna stand up and protect it, then you\u2019re gonna have an out-of-control agency like the EPA with impunity pretending that it writes laws. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, everybody else obeying the law, following the legislative route, here comes the Supreme Court, they also have become totally politicized now.  The Supreme Court\u2019s not a judicial body anymore; it\u2019s a rubber stamp for the Democrat Party.  There are four liberal judges, now five with Kennedy, for all intents and purposes, and they are there for one reason:  not to study the cases and make the ruling based on law.  They are there to rubber stamp whatever — and they all know — the left-wing agenda demands case by case by case. <\/line><\/p>\n

In the abortion case, the word has gone out even though it doesn\u2019t need to go out, they all instinctively know this, there will not be one law, there will not be one regulation, there will not be one rule permitted that is seen to make abortion more difficult to have or be performed.  Ergo, Texas comes along and says, you know what, we\u2019re gonna not allow abortion clinics that are no better than veterinary clinics — no offense, veterinarians — we\u2019re not gonna allow these unhygienic, filthy, dirty clinics to exist. <\/p>\n

There are gonna have to be some standards. There are gonna have to be some post-op standards. People that work in there are gonna have to have admission eligibility for hospitals. The Supreme Court came along, no, you are not gonna do that, Texas, because that might make it harder for our constituents to get an abortion, which is all that matters.  Plus we love sticking it to you, so (raspberry) you.  And that\u2019s how it all happens. <\/p>\n

If the people madly in the quest for power are not stopped in that quest or if they are not competed against for it, what do you think is going to happen?  Look, you all instinctively know it.  That is why you\u2019re so angry at the Republican Party, pure and simple.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
