The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to determine whether Oklahoma’s personhood initiative can proceed. The Oklahoma Supreme Court decided against putting it on the ballot, suggesting the issue of personhood would conflict with Supreme Court rulings favoring abortion.
Personhood USA believes the court’s ruling denies the right of citizens to petition their government. Steve Crampton, general counsel of Liberty Counsel, tells OneNewsNow that is a huge issue that must be settled.
“It’s about the fundamental right of the people of a state, in this case the state of Oklahoma, to decide for themselves what the law in their own state should be, and to simply propose for debate and discussion — and ultimately for a vote — certain issues of great importance,” he says.
Crampton says the question is equal access to the political process. He adds that the citizens of Oklahoma had met all the procedural requirements of letting voters decide the personhood issue.

The members of the OKlahoma Supreme Court missed the whole point — the idea is that the Legislature can set law that overrules Supreme Court decisions! Of course they are not legal scholars by any means… keeping in mind that the Supreme Court Justices of OKlahoma are political appointees…
Here’s another thought that should be looked into.
RICO act. Well, it looks to me like congress in its entirety and every person that works in it, the white house and every single person that works in it and draws federal paychecks, the justice department and every single person that works directly or indirectly and every single department there-in, and every single employee of the federal government of the United States of America regardless of job description is and has been involved in criminal activity as an organization and every member of congress, including pages, secretaries, mail runners and every single employee therein, and everybody that works in the white house and the justice department, every single worker for the federal government at every level should be arrested and charged under the RICO act as an ongoing criminal organization. That would include every judge, bailiff, secretary, toilet cleaner and every single worker in the justice department nationwide is and has been committing crimes against the Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America and should be arrested, jailed without bond until convicted of the crimes they have committed. Upon conviction they should be sent to prison, general population, to serve not less than life without the possibility of parole. Just like the drug dealers and anybody else that has been charged under that act. There Crimes will start with Treason. They have been lying, stealing and cheating the Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America. I can’t see any difference between them and the Mafia, if there ever was such a thing, or Motorcycle “Gangs”, or Gun Smugglers, Drug Smugglers or any RICO defined organization. When convicted ‘All’ their assets and I mean everything they own should be confiscated and put in the general fund to help the needy Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America. Everything they have was derived from their criminal activity while working in the Criminal Organization we know as the Federal Government. That includes all of their kids’ stuff and of course the wives and mistresses property. Seize, confiscate all property of any description. Freeze all bank accounts. Their sentences after a quick trial and conviction will be Life in, General Population, Prison without the possibility of Parole. Creation of construction jobs for a lot of new prisons for these poor folks. Give the sons and daughters the choice of Prison for life or Front Line Combat Positions. Well, they get a choice. Then we can go after the middlemen that were involved in defense procurement that were instrumental in ripping off the taxpayers for the last 75 years and we can prosecute the dead criminals posthumously.
