"Call me crazy, but it might help if you actually read the article."

Call me crazy but I actually DID read the article. And Amazingly it doesn't even begin to prove the premise in the title. It is about Judicial Review and it is about whether the Governors mentioned would follow the law/Constitution.

Here is something you might consider. There is no prerequisite that requires a Presidential Candidate to qualify for the office in which following the law while he is a Governor is mandatory.

See the Constitution is pretty self explanatory on who is Qualified to be President. Its why the title AND the Article is a laugher. Just because the article comes from a supposedly Conservative publication does not make it canon of the Conservative movement AND bad writing is bad writing. If you want to be taken seriously then don't title an article with a premise that you don't being to prove with the following article.

Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Qualified as in character; courage; conviction; virtue.

Often sought. Seldom found.

None of these are specified in the Constitution, but certainly presumed....as are most of our common law and natural rights and duties the Founders knew were a prerequisite for a functioning republic.

The author points out several things, such as sanctuary cities, Colorado dope laws, etc., where the socialists and decadents ignore rule of law to advance their perversity in a manner I had not considered.

Author’s point being that any current governor who on bended knee conforms to the clawing evil of the DC Imperium, lacks these qualifications of “leadership”.

Now as to his closing,

“Nonetheless, most conservatives are waiting for the next election or the next court ruling or the next president to right the ship, but they and their republic will die waiting when remedial action can be taken now. Nullification — when properly exercised, it’s a fancy way of saying “standing up for the law of the land.” Were I a governor, I’d tell the feds to pound sand and that if they didn’t like it, to send in the troops. I might ultimately end up in federal prison, but I’d light a fire and spark a movement — and become a hero and martyr to millions.

It’s waiting there for you, governors, glory and God’s work. We just need a leader, someone with greater passions for principle than “for party, for power.” It’s waiting.

Rise, American hero, rise.”

Now who on this site would argue with that?

Though I note that Selwyn Duke has posted a self-promoting linked post to another site!

A heinous violation of Freep tribal law.

I stand heartbroken again by a fallen idol.
