We now officially live in a country wherein homosexuality is the moral equivalent to traditional Christian marriage.
We officially live in a country where the power to force you to spend money on products or services you may find morally repugnant is Constitutionally sound.
We officially live in a country where the best tools of personal defense are denied with Constitutional validity.
Have any of you who once challenged my argument that Judicial Review is unconstitutional changed your minds yet?
Are you ready to listen when I say the current interpretation of Article III Section I & II, based on Marbury v. Madison, is firmly entrenched in Article III Section III?
Are you ready to listen to Mister Jefferson on the topic?
He wrote this to Mrs. Adams: You seem to think it devolved on the judges to decide on the validity of the Sedition law.
But nothing in the Constitution has given them a right to decide for the Executive, more than the Executive to decide for them. Both magistrates are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them.
The judges, believing the law constitutional, had a right to pass a sentence of fine and imprisonment; because the power was placed in their hands by the Constitution. But the Executive, believing the law to be unconstitutional, were bound to remit the execution of it; because that power has been confided to them by the Constitution.
That instrument meant that its coordinate branches should be checks on each other.
But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also, in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch.
Until you and I are ready to live up to our responsibilities as We the People and do our duty as outlined in the 9th and 10th Amendments, our lot will only worsen.
So long as you and I permit 9 people to tell us right from wrong, what we may or may not do enforced at the point of a muzzle, we do not deserve the Liberty our Founders secured.
Until you and I decide to stop obeying unconstitutional laws - and make no mistake, we follow by choice - we will be treated and forced to live exactly as we deserve.
We the People have the responsibility of keeping our politicians and bureaucrats inside the lines regarding what is, and is not, Constitutional. Not the Supreme Court. If we delegate that responsibility, we deserve to be the slaves that we are now.
Do not f'n lie to me or yourself - we are slaves - the most comfortable ever on Earth, but slaves nonetheless.
When we decide to take back control of our republic from our Masters, we'd better go all-in, all of us. At the same time. With the same ferocity. With the same goal - Liberty.
...hang together, or separately...
As I have said before, we've been here before as a nation. Our Founders won Liberty. In the 1860's it was stolen, and today it stands on the brink of extinction.
Now History is asking you and me - what'cha gonna do about it?
Here's a link to a previous post on the topic.
