Chapter 393 Chief Justice
The next afternoon, the Chief Justice came to sea in a speedboat and found John.
After the mayor of Los Angeles conveyed the content of the meeting to the governor of California, the governor also conveyed the content to the federal Supreme Court as soon as possible, and Chief Justice William Renquist immediately convened a meeting to discuss John's closure of the appeal channel with the other eight justices, as the guardian of the U.S. Constitution, they did not allow John to be unconstitutional, but they could not judge John, so the last nine judges unanimously decided to send representatives to persuade John to retract his order, and Chief Justice William Lenquist. Lemqvist is the epitome of this.
"Hello, Mr. JK!" William Renquist greeted John respectfully, although he was angry at John's recent actions, mainly about the orders of blacks and the closure of appeals in California, but the respect he deserved was still necessary.
"Hello, Mr. Renqvist, you may be seated. John pressed his hand, and William Renquist was a neutral and a high-ranking Freemason, so John gave him a certain respect.
"Mr. JK, I am here to hope that you will take back the disciplinary order against the Negro and the order to close the California appeal, which are incompatible with the Constitution and you cannot do so. William Renqvist spoke in a serious tone, and as Chief Justice, it was his duty to protect the Constitution.
"Mr. Lemquist, I have not given any orders concerning the Negroes, have you seen this order in the executive orders of the government?" John's orders to the Negroes were dictated, and this kind of thing could only be understood to be written down in black and white, so there was no explicit rule, and John did not admit that William Lehnquist could not do anything with him.
"You should admit that the appeal channel for drug offenses in California is closed!" William Renquist looked at John angrily, he didn't expect John to be lazy.
"I admit it, I gave this order. John didn't really want to admit it, but the order directly involved the federal court, so he had to give an express notice to the federal court, so he had to admit it.
"Just admit it, Mr. JK, this executive order of yours is in conflict with the Constitution, so please withdraw it immediately, or I will impeach you for being unconstitutional." William Renquist looked at John with a straight face.
"Lemquist, please be mindful of your words, of who you are talking to. Dani frowned as she watched William Renquist warn.
John waved his hand to make Dani feel at ease, then looked at William Renquist and smiled, "Mr. Renqvist, since you like to talk about the Constitution so much, then I will popularize the knowledge of the Constitution for you."
Under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, the LΓ€nder are required to respect certain provisions of the Federal Constitution. Keep in mind that this is a must-respect, not a must-have, and this means that states are exempt from certain constitutional provisions in exceptional circumstances.
What is a special time?
When state bills can have a positive effect on the current people, society, and government, it is a special time, and some constitutional provisions can be violated at this time. The essence of the law is to serve the people, and the purpose of legislation is to better protect the people, and the people of California have been suffering from drug poisoning for a long time, and the current judicial process does not apply to such a bad situation, and in the interests of the people of California, we can completely cancel the appeal channel for drug offenders, deal with all kinds of drug offenders strictly, severely, and quickly, and crack down on and deter all kinds of drug crimes.
So I'm not unconstitutional.
And Mr. Renquist! You must know that on the soil of the United States, it is the United States that has the state capitals and the Declaration of Independence, not the United States, which has the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, so the Constitution must also respect the laws of the states, and without the states there would be no federation, and without the federation, the federal Constitution would be meaningless. β
"You're using strong words. William Renquist felt that it was a pity for John not to become a lawyer: "The Constitution is the embodiment of the spirit of American law above all else, it is a symbol of the spirit of American law, every state must abide by it for any reason, and if there is a conflict between state law and the Constitution, you can unite two-thirds of the states to propose a bill to amend the Constitution, and not such a blatant violation of the Constitution, so JK asks you to withdraw the order." β
"Thank you for the reminder, I will work with the states to revise the constitution, but I will not take the order back. John looked resolutely at William Renqvist, asking him to take back the order, which was impossible.
"Then I will impeach you. "William Renquist was not to be outdone.
"Haha, impeach me? What qualifications do you have? Why?" John finally got angry.
"Just because I am the Chief Justice, the guardian of the Constitution. "William Renquist has always been proud to be the guardian of the Constitution, so he will not allow anyone to violate the Constitution.
"Haha, Renqvist! I tell you, the Constitution that you regard as your life is worthless in my eyes, and the state and the federal government are collaborators rather than subordinates, and you me off, and I will issue an executive order in a moment announcing the abolition of the judicial powers of the federal courts in California. β
"You can't do that. β
"You can't care, the Declaration of Independence said that any government that prevents the people from getting security and happiness, the people can overthrow him, and now the federal judiciary prevents the people of California from getting safety and happiness, acting as an umbrella for drug criminals, so California has the right to overturn the federal courts and deprive the federal courts of all jurisdiction in California.
Moreover, the most important thing is that neither the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence gives you the right to impeach the leaders of the Southern government, so you are not qualified to impeach me, the Constitution you are guarding cannot control me, and if you want to bring me to your court for trial, you have only one way, and that is to defeat me through war, but are you sure that the current Northern government can win this civil war as before?"
The only way for a country or a government to bring the head of another country or government to the bench of judgment is to defeat the other side through war, and any other way is ineffective. So the Constitution of the Federation really doesn't control John.
"JK, what do you want? How can you not be unconstitutional?" William Renquist was defeated, because John was telling the truth, he really had nothing to do with John, and the ultimate responsibility of the federal court and the chief justice was to maintain the unity of the North and the South, and to reconcile the political rights of the two sides, not to divide the Union.
"Federal Court Reform. John made the conditions.
"Okay, if you say change it, change it, how to change it The three parties sit down and discuss it slowly, but when there is no result of the discussion, I hope you can temporarily withdraw the order, and wait until the result comes out and implement it according to the result of the consultation, okay!"
"Well, yes, then the three parties will make an appointment to discuss. John finally gave way at William Renquist's pleading. This relieved William Renquist that the two governments of the United States are in charge of the legislative and executive power of the Union, and the independent judicial power does not belong to either party, but it depends on both parties to exist, which is why it is said that the ultimate responsibility of the Chief Justice is to maintain the unity of the Union, if there is no Federation, then what is the point of the Federal Court?
