The Merit of a Return to the Constitution

Rate this Entry
[QUOTE=Pericles;4368056]The core issue is that the intended series of checks on federal power has been abandoned.

The system was designed so that either the SCOTUS or a majority of the states could declare a federal law unconstitutional. This prevents a monopoly of power, which is the road to tyranny.

The other check is the militia system. By having the capability of a universal militia, the founders put in Machiavelli's dictum in THE PRINCE "Good arms and good laws go together. Where the people have recourse to good arms, no Prince dare make a bad law."

The hierarchy of laws is simple
(A) US Constitution
(B) Treaties ratified by the Senate
(C) Constitutional federal laws
(D) State Constitutions
(E) State laws made in accordance with US and State Constitutions
(F) Local laws made in accordance with US and State Constitutions

What is broken is the enforcement mechanism, which depends on an informed and active citizenry. Which depends on a system of education......... that teaches the responsibilities of citizenship. Socialists realize that controlling the education system of a country ultimately leads to control of the country.[/QUOTE]

    in our practice we see a lot of wives of military men.. sometimes the men themselves. I always thank them for their service and their promise to protect the county and the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. most of the time i can tell they know what it is I am asking of them and most of the time I get the eye to eye contact that lets me know they understand.. I sure hope
