Free Republic

I seriously propose an amendment to the Constitution based on the following concerns. The Founding Fathers intended for the powers of the federal government to be limited to those expressly delegated to it by the federal Constitution. This is clearly evidenced by the following constitutional statutes. Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United...

Sadly, most of the country failed Constitution 101 tonight, IMHO. I don't know what Obama actually knows about the Constitution, but the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to limit the powers of the federal government. And the truth of the matter is that many of Obama's campaign promises are based on non-existent federal government powers. In fact, Obama's ideas are in contempt of the following constitutional statutes, in my opinion. (Republicans are guilty of this too.) Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and...

I saw the list of likely retiring justices last year but didn't think to bookmark the page. Does anybody know who they are? Likely Stephens, Ginsburg. I understand that the tradition for justices is to not retire during an election year to spare the country the additional burden of nominee hearings. In this round of retirements, outgoing Constitution-ignoring justices are of course hoping to be replaced by other Constitution-ignoring justices nominated by either Obama or Clinton.

The following link is to a Mozart DVD. Amazon Mozart DVD starring Hillary Clinton (above stars rating) Why is the DVD starring Hillary Clinton? Is Amazon mixed up or is this some kind of propaganda?

Regarding the selection of Republican candidates that every is so unhappy with, I'm going to have to admit that don't have majors problems with the situation. This is because months ago I recognized that the choice would ultimately boil down to having pick the least "evil" candidate. In other words, this election year has essentially turned into a recovery operation, in my opinion, as opposed to being a rescue operation, many disgruntled voters evidently still in rescue mode. In fact, my main test for who I'm going to vote for is are they qualified to be Commander in Chief of...

FDR essentially got the Supreme Court to ignore the 10th A. so that the Court would give the green light to his constitutionally unauthorized federal spending programs. Then, as a consequence of having the political license to ignore the 10th A., renegade, anti-religious expression justices then unconsitutionally limited our religious freedoms. More specifically... Justice Owen Roberts rewrote constitutional history in the Cantwell v. Connecticut opinion by writing the following. "The First Amendment declares that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The Fourteenth Amendment has rendered the legislatures of the states...

Although Senator Clinton evidently wants to impress everybody with her undisciplined creativity concerning how to spend our tax dollars, she is actually ignoring her oath to defend the Constitution. This is because she is ignoring that the federal government doesn't have the constitutional power to decide new ways to spend taxpayer's money in the first place. She is irresponsibly carrying on the unconstitutional federal spending policies of FDR. More specifically, FDR essentially talked the Supreme Court into ignoring the 10th A. protected power of the states and broadening the interpretation of the vaguely worded general welfare clause. He did do...

This post is a follow up to the previous post, the lowdown about church & state separation. The following essay goes into more detail about the Supreme Court's scandalous interpretation of the religious aspects of the 14th Amendment. I will start this discussion of the folly of politically correct interpretations of the 14th A. by reluctantly agreeing with the main reason that I believe that atheists and secularists cheerlead the Supreme Court's perverted, 10th A.-ignoring interpretations of the establishment clause and the religious aspects of the 14th Amendment. The problem is that it's hard to find judges that interpret religion-related...

Thomas Jefferson expressed his Orwellian-like concerns about judges who legislate from the bench as follows. "One single object... [will merit] the endless gratitude of society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Livingston, 1825. ME 16:113 http://tinyurl.com/zebwr Given Jefferson's understandable disdain for crooked judges, if the Founders had taken the time to consult with Jefferson on how to write the 1st Amendment, perhaps the amendment would have been worded as follows. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of...

Ground zero for today's social unrest concerning c&s separation issues, in my opinion, is Justice Black. Justice Black made a career, it seems, out of rewriting history in order to misrepresent the intentions of constitutional lawmakers, both the ratifiers of the Bill of Rights and the post Civil War 14th Amendment lawmakers. He misrepresented their intentions concerning religious related statutes, particularly ignoring the 10th A. power of the states to address religious issues. More specifically, he misrepresented their intentions in order to sell his treasonous interpretations of both the establishment clause and the religious aspects of the 14th Amendment. The...

"Because of the prohibition of the First Amendment against the enactment of any law "respecting an establishment of religion," which is made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment, state officials may not compose an official state prayer and require that it be recited in the public schools of the State at the beginning of each school day - even if the prayer is denominationally neutral and pupils who wish to do so may remain silent or be excused from the room while the prayer is being recited." --Justice Black(?), Engel v. Vitale, 1962 Contrast the 10th A. ignoring...

"3. Resolved that it is true as a general principle and is also expressly declared by one of the amendments to the constitution that ‘the powers not delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people’: and that no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press being delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain, & were reserved, to the states or...
