Crisis in Government

I’m on another rant!

The constitution protectes us from nothing nor did it grant our rights.

It was drafted as a restraint on government but enforceable only by the people. Alexander Hamilton stated today’s view thusly, “In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.” No government on earth has ever controlled itself. It progresses from small encroachments upon the rights of the people to ever greater abuses until the people revolt or are rendered powerless to resist.

The constitution, scrupulously, laid out the duties of the Executive and Legislative branches but left the Judiciary to its own imagination and didn’t even address the most important branches of all, the States and the People. Our founders forgot that Lawyers would do all in their power to find loopholes and, gleefully, do so at every turn. It was never intended that the Federal government, and most certainly not its courts, were to be the determining body of what was or was not constitutional.

The Militia is a constitutional body and congress is bound to supply it. Congress now, blatantly, demonizes it and acts if it is a terrorist organization. In hearings on the Militia, Senator Dianne Feinswein, of Loopyland, was grilling Mr. J.J. Johnson of the Ohio Militia. She, pointedly, asked him if he believed the citizens have the right to take the law into their own hands.

Instead of a resounding yes, Mr. Johnson reverted to sheepism and said no! The truth of the matter is, the law has never left our hands. We have the individual power to arrest but we are more restrained than the police. We must see the crime committed whereas the government jackboots can entrap and do other despicable things and swear to it.

The Federal and the State courts do not have the delegated authority to decide what laws are or are not constitutional. That determination is up to the citizen juries by convictions or acquittals.

In a restored Confederacy, the citizens duties will be spelled out just as the elected and appointed offices are spelled out.

Enough rant for the morning.

“No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people; that men, acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid. It is not to be supposed that the Constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents. A Constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by judges as fundamental law. If there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the two, the Constitution is to be preferred to the statute.” -- Alexander Hamilton
