The key to bringing America back: Educate and/or remind the public of Bill of Rights Preamble

[dude58677]

The Preamble to the Bill of Rights says that “In order to prevent the misconstruction or abuse of powers, further restrictive and declaratory clauses shall be added”.

So it says outright in the Constitution that government powers of all three branches cannot be abused. The Congress cannot misconstrue powers under article 1 section 8 and the bill of rights limits the Congress from doing so. The executive branch also cannot abuse powers such the bill of rights limits executive orders. The judicial branch cannot rubber stamp laws that the bill of rights limits. So they can’t make rulings that have a “compelling governmental interest”.

How does this apply in real life? It can be used for widespread civil.
Finally, anyone denying the Bill of Rights Preamble has to make you wonder about that person. No one in their right mind can say that the government has the power to abuse powers.

When you get arrested at a Federal checkpoint and they find an illegal handgun in your car,

be sure to keep a copy of the Bill of Rights on you,

so you can explain to them that its unconstitutional

Um, yet, here we are.

The problems with your approach are as follows:

1 - Most Americunts could not give a frog's ass about the Bill of Rights. One half thinks it's something criminals and the ACLU hide behind, the other half think it's something Nazis and racists hide behind. Freedom is now universally abhorred and hated.

2 - You say all these cannot be done, yet, here we are. Our first, fourth and fifth amendment rights are shattered. The courts rule it is justified. Angry mobs, the last resort of a crushed people are called insurrectionists and are hunted down for punishment.

It’s a long shot but we have to start somewhere.

The time for educating has come and passed.

It is time to separate, or die.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights have had their chance.

The only things they're good for now are lip service and pious nostalgia.

It's time to move on.

"I hope conservatives are starting to see that the 1st Amendment (which also includes the right to peaceful assembly, like at a holiday dinner) and the 2nd Amendment are red herrings of little use. Technology and gun proliferation are the answer, not the Constitution." -- Michael Malice

Sadly , that won't work until you abolish government schools

Every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later. . . . Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey.

A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state.

Thats the other problem. We are trying to start. They are at ENDGAME.

OP, it seems the WhiteHouse 1776 commission agrees with you. Here's their report, released yesterday.

If we at least try to start somewhere there is at least some hope but if we don’t try try at all then there is no hope.

I just had a thought. If anyone dies tomorrow during the Inauguration, will it be blamed on COVID? Oh and didnt those people who died on Jan 6th, didnt they die of COVID too? If there is Martial Law, anyone the Military or Cops shoot, isnt that gonna be COVID too? Tanks? COVID? Lockdown starvation, COVID?
