I wonder if the DUmmies or the KOmmies have ever posted the Federalist papers at their sites.
bump for later read.
No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause, because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men are unfit to be both judges and parties at the same time; yet what are many of the most important acts of legislation, but so many judicial determinations, not indeed concerning the rights of single persons, but concerning the rights of large bodies of citizens?
Is this not what we saw last night?
Perhaps. But I would love to see the comments, or the times they were read....or understood.
When corrupt integrity is at the forefront, so is trouble.
They probably wouldn’t know what they were reading and would attempt to fisk them.
Bump for later!
When the states ratified the Constitution, the federal government in its three distinct branches was born. The Constitution is the legal document that gives what we call the federal government (actually three branches of government) its power. The Constitution is the agreement wherein the states delegated some of their power to this government under the terms of the Constitution.
All three branches of the federal government, executive (POTUS), legislative (Congress), and judicial (SCOTUS) have broken that agreement by ignoring and/or overriding the text and original intent of the Constitution. Therefore, the states are no long bound to abide under this rogue government.
The preservation of this union depends on the sworn oath every single officer of each branch takes: To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Without a working, authoritative Constitution, we simply do not have a true union, only the (temporary) appearance of one. We no longer have the adherence to the rule of law and values of liberty the people and states relied on in their original ratification.
I don't want to see this union dissolved but it is the three branches of the federal government, not the states, that is in the process of dissolving the bonds of this union. Behind this is a spiritual malaise wherein the people have allowed this disintegration to take place. What are the states to do? Those states with enough of those having Christian values and a will and purpose to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution may have to band together in some sort of collective rebellion against this rogue government. Maybe a New America with strict adherence to the original Constitution and its Amendments will emerge, but anything lasting must have the rule of law (not the rule of the whims of man) and a belief that God, not government, grants us our rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Somewhere, somehow there will be enough of us who will declare "Give me liberty or give me death" and the battle will be waged with guns if necessary.
When a popular vote took over the Senate, it allowed for the internal invasion of another form of government: a corrupt democracy. By using its growing powers, the pseudo-Senate has been able to form a new judiciary along with its following corrupt law enforcement system. It has also used its mutated powers to thwart the best efforts of a constitution-abiding Executive.
From what I know of liberals (and I know many of them), if an article doesn’t feed their hatred or conceit, they won’t read it.
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
(Thomas Jefferson November 13, 1787, letter to William S. Smith, quoted in Padover's Jefferson On Democracy, ed., 1939)
We may have come to such a time as this.
I was talking with an older-timer today; he said something that I agreed with: we would love to see a coup!

I would give lots to see those commie scumbags swinging from ropes.
There has already BEEN a coup.
obummer and his shadow gov't rules - and overrules the Congress.
Rahm and cohorts wrote most of this health bill - and HE has sat in on the locked doors meetings that republican senators were not allowed to attend.
The coup has taken place - what needs to be done is oust these usurpers and take our country back.
