They can do anything they damn well please.Who or what is going to stop them? It damn sure is not the Constitution.
The Constitution is just a piece of paper, an idealist form of government written down on some parchment.
What gives the Constitution value, meaning, and power?
The first three words tell one who in the Nation holds the power. And until We the People realize that again we deserve the tyranny we get.
Many of us love to call to our hearts the Constitution, but until our mind resolves who holds the power and responsibility for our liberty it is all huff, puff, and empty passion.
I like to remind people that while the Constitution provides the shape, form, and limits of our government it is the Declaration of Independence that provides us with our very first Right. It is the trump card and while many view it as a beautifully crafted document, they miss those words that are indeed the breath of life for our Constitution:
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
When the Guards have failed it is ultimately We the People's responsibility. We have suffered the sufferable evils, but now we see the long train of abuses & usurpations pursuing the destruction of our designed government. Notice the bolded words. It is the Right of the People, those words are not written as right of the people. Right & People are capitalized.
It is our Right and it is our Duty to stop the destruction. This is not given to the politicians...it is given to us, We the People.
The destruction of our country will continue at the hands of evil until such time as we will decide to take back the power that is the Right of We the People. If one is looking around for someone else to take this responsibility, to lead, to find the way then one is only seeking their next despot.
No FRiend the security of our Liberty rests with the Will of We the People and the talents we each have available to securing those first Rights.
