That's some pretty hot stuff there.
To save the Constitution we must destroy the Constitution.
There is no expediency justification when deliberately choosing a president.
That is a good line. Like it. But to be more precise, destroy what it has been misconstrued to be.
He means like Roe vs Wade....or the courts’ take on gay marriage.....or Obamacare
Jefferson was, as usual, right in that magnificent quote.
By analogy, SCOTUS invented out of whole cloth a "right" of any mother of an infant in utero (in conjunction with her "doctor") to murder her unborn child at any time for any reason during the first two trimesters of pregnancy. Not a word in the constitution or its amendments supports this barbarism.
Finally, when the usual gang of political suspects rolled over and played dead for years claiming to oppose abortion but, golleeeee, what could they do since SCOTUS in their warped imaginations can amend the constitution at will and especially when the alternative is $$$$$$ minded Congresscritters having to risk alienating some voters by enforcing Amendment XIV, some small number of mostly Christian patriots took matters into their own hands and ran a series of "hit and run" raids on abortion mills (Operation Rescue, Pro-Life Action Network and some independent groups), preventing scheduled murders of babies, de-sterilizing everything in sight (in the more militant direct actions), breaking raw eggs in into the killing suction machines so that they would have to be rebuilt. Sometimes, the targeted abortion mills were closed for weeks afterwards.
Legal defenses to Rescue prosecutions included the common law and sometimes statutory defense of "necessity" which Jefferson references. Also, vicarious self defense (defense of another). Also that abortion had been deemed a "crime against humanity" by the post WWII Nuremberg trials in which the USA prosecuted and also provided some judges including SCOTUS Justice Robert Jackson. The Nazis infamously defended that they were only obeying Germany's laws or Hitler's orders to no avail as it should have been. What was then a crime against humanity can hardly be regarded as a constitutional right.
When do we stop allowing the enemies of our civilization to bring machine guns to a fistfight when we are unarmed. I cannot imagine this faux "constitutional" prissiness in which generally conservative people are arguing for unilateral political disarmament at a time of such constitutional emergency as we are living through.
I would very reluctantly vote for Trump IF he is actually nominated but I will be holding my nose since he is nothing vaguely resembling an actual conservative. Once Scott Walker left the race, there was only Ted Cruz as a totally reliable constitutional conservative. Rubio has disqualified himself politically over the immigration fiasco but he has a 96% conservative voting record.
If Trump keeps up these asinine attacks on Cruz's eligibility, you can look forward to POTUS Hillary or Bernie. This crap pisses off people he will NEED as voters if he should be so fortunate as to be nominated. The mere facts that he is infinitely superior to the moral monster Romney, that he talks dirty, that he has no manners, that he thinks THE WALL and RTKBA and a few other stands are a sufficient substitute for the wide range of conservative issues.
Thanks for the great Jefferson quote that reminds us of the mindset of our Revolutionary forebears.
God bless you and yours!
