The hypocrisy of 'US v. Arizona'

**** How do we overturn the years of precedent which handcuff the American people? ****

Our dilema is that we've been down this road to perdition for over 100 years.

Starting with the 'progressive' Teddy Roosevelt and his legal war against the 'Robber Barons' (if it wasn't for those Robber Barons' the USA wouldn't BE the USA.)

Then we had the 'progressive' Woodrow Wilson and his 'vision' of a One World Government (Wilson was really a hateful bigoted SOB). Thanks to 'progressives' like him we LOST our 9th and 10th Amendment rights with the 17th Amendment (adopted on April 8, 1913) and direct election of Senators. They no longer owed their allegiance to their state and protecting its Rights.

Which gets is the FDR. Another 'progressive' and the worst of the bunch. What he pulled before and during WWII should have put him in prison. While Hitler sent people to 'Death Camps', FDR just sent them to 'camps' (not only Japs were rounded up). And anyone who disagreed with FDR would 'disappear' -- like a State Dept Message Decoder employee in London who was going to give a message FDR sent to Churchill to the Republicans in Congress. The guy was 'snatched' when he stepped foot of the boat in New York and 'disappeared' (Ann Coulter - Treason).

Then came the 'progressives' on the Fed Courts and SCOTUS. They let Congress run amok with the Commerce Clause in ways that would make the Founders go ballistic. For seventy years at least Congress has played their game with the 'CC', and STILL DO, like ObamaDeathCare. Not until 'The Rehnquist Court' did SCOTUS start overturning blatantly unconstitutional Commerce Clause Laws. I won't even go into asinine rulings like Roe or Lawrence v Texas.

An aside: As Alexander Hamilton said regarding the Constitution: 'We didn't spend enough time on the Courts'.
(Boy did he ever have that right.)

So 'we've suffered a long train of abuses' [(gee, that sounds familiar ;-)], and an Amendment won't solve any of it. The Constitution and Bill of Rights need to be restored and the way things are going ... well... it won't be easy, or pretty.

Yep. I think the citizens hurt by non-enforcement of our federal laws have a case, too.
