The Supreme Court, unfortunately, by a 5 to 4 vote, upheld Roosevelt's ex cathedra devaluation of the dollar and repudiation of the gold convertibility of bonds in 1934. The four hard nosed Conservatives of that era, McReynolds, Sutherland, Butler & Vandeventer voted to uphold the obligation of contracts, intended to secure honest money, but in vain.

bump on the failure of the Supreme Court to protect the obligation of contracts against the fiat dollar advocates.

At some point it will be necessary to review a number of these types of SCOTUS decisions and find a way to codify the solutions into the Constitution.

I am not an attorney nor am I an accomplished Constitutional scholar. All I know about the Constitution is what is actually written in it, and it seems to me that it takes professional politicians (something the founders never intended) along with a bunch of lawyers who seem to think that there is a suicide pact hidden in there someplace, and that is what brings us to where we are today.

We are due for either a Constitutional Convention (subsequent to dismissing the Congress entirely) or a proper second Civil War in order to sort things out once and for all. At this point all a real Patriot can do is make sure when the militias start forming up, that you show up with something besides your Johnston in your hand...
