…from the abyss that is my twitter timeline, a filled void of never-again-to-be-seen-after-they-may-have-initially-been-seen, opinions-and-musings-and-references-and-pleasantries-shared-with-similarly-minded-patriotic-countrymen, what follows is a lunar cycle’s compendium of constitutionally-connected commentary :]

Court to King Obama: “There is no, ‘Trust us, changes are coming’ clause in the Constitution.” #obamacare #antiReligion ~tweet
ref: 
Court Rebukes Obama Administration’s “Trust Us” Revision of the HHS Mandate

art.I,§6,c1: “… Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law…” Who makes “law”, again? the king, silly ~tweet
ref: Obama Orders Pay Raise for Biden, Members of Congress, Federal Workers

The year’s Perfect, let’s Riot~> Constitution 101: Changing Definitions ~tweet

Interesting: Webster’s 1828: “Liberty of the press… subject to PUNISHMENT for abusing the PRIVILEGE” ~tweet

Press “publishing what is mischievous to the public or injurious to individuals” was Punishable in 1828!? ?what law? ~tweet

Notice how FreePress thinks it’s better than FreeReligion & RightToBearArms? What a snob, that FreePress. Like it’s not on the same page. ~tweet

Respectfully, why would govt adhere to a Balanced Budget Amendment when govt ignores the Constitution as it is? @SenRandPaul #bba ~tweet

Ask Heritage: What Are The 10 Worst Regulations of 2012? …& Guess how many by Constitutional authority of Congress? ~tweet

Unreal: Mark Green on Hannity said “230 years, there was never an individual right to own a handgun. Scalia found it a few years ago” #LYHBT ~tweet

If liberals really think that there’s no right to own guns, then why don’t they just take them ALL from us? Where’s the issue? ~tweet

Why we’re here…~> “We already gave up on the Constitution” by Jim Antle, Daily Caller, 01.01.13, re: Seidman solution… ~tweet

Art. VI, cl.3: Congress et al “…shall be bound by #Oath or Affirmation, to support this #Constitution” ~DEMAND they reconcile their acts. ~tweet

#LowInformationVoterThoughts The U.S. Constitution (225) is outdated, yet the Communist Manifesto (164) is… not. ~tweet

Publius Huldah briefly on Fed #GunControl (shouldn’t be any), the #BBA (how to REALLY balance), and the con of the #ConCon ~tweet

The Constitutional Convention: The truth, and the danger.~> “No, no Con-Con” by Henry Lamb ~tweet

Wonder if the people with such zeal to discard the Constitution ever considered where they’d be now if it were never created or ratified? ~tweet

Yes! These takers of property, of security, and thereby liberty, are “Imposters”, and illegitimate! #MolonLabe #guns ~tweet

Executive Orders have the force of law, ONLY as they implement (constitutionally pursuant) current law. They are NOT law, on their own.
Any order issued by the Executive that intends to legislate, or otherwise subvert the Constitution, is simply INVALID.
Obama has no more authority to ‘make’ gun laws than he has to, say, single-handedly outlaw Christianity. #MolonLabe #2ndAmd
~01.09.13 tweets: @ @ @
art.I,§.1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Guns… mental health… Equally outside the scope of the federal govt. They’ve NO business in our holsters, OR in our heads. ~tweet

It’s not about guns, it’s a validation of rightful Liberty. A great, great article.
Our 2nd Amendment Right: The Militia is the Key by Alan Keyes, 01.10.13

This 2nd Amendment fight, though CRITICAL to liberty, leaves me the sense that we’re being HERDED… away from something else. #justsayin ~tweet

Madison, Federalist No.49, par.10: (paraphrased) Public REASON alone ought control govt, as govt ought temper public PASSION. ~But govt incites passion, controls reason. ~tweet

Geraldo just said bad guys can get guns because of STATES RIGHTS!!! That must be NEXT on the list, huh? #amd2 #amd10… no matter ~tweet

Would YOU attend such an assembly in defense of our Gun Rights~> “Wishing For The 1%” ~jonolan #FirstForSecond ~tweet
~Gives new meaning to the phrase “Gun Show”…Amendments merge. ~tweet

MARK LEVIN: “I’m not into imperial presidents who act imperial and speak imperial and Obama forgets there’s a Constitution. Yes, he keeps telling us he won reelection. Congratulations, but guess what? The Constitution wasn’t up for election, it’s not up for a referendum. He has to comply with it, too.”

“The Constitution of the United States is a political contract between the States; a national compact.” ~from Webster’s 1828 definition of “compact” ~tweet

The federal government is not a party to the constitutional compact, but a function of it.  ~tweet

~Note: Except as quoted, the preceding thoughts are mine ~tdv (subconch)

A Translation of the List of President Obama’s 23 Executive Actions to Address Gun Violence
White House line items in black. ~Translations in red.

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Grow the gun-forbidden list, I say.(see end)

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Circumvent, rewrite current federal HIPAA law, ‘cause I want to, so States can add more people to the mental portion of the gun-forbidden list.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Bribe the States with DOJ money Congress didn’t give me, to add even more people to the gun-forbidden list, when they can’t use the HIPAA excuse.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list.Tell the A.G. to figure out what other kinds of people, what other kinds of reasons, we can add people to the gun-forbidden list.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.
~ Make sure that when the police take a gun for any reason, they don’t have any reason to give it back.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.
~ Tell people that have to check the list for themselves, that now they should check the list for others.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
~ Posture, spend, propagandize. Slogan: “Gun Abstinence is Better than the Other Kind”

8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).
~ Interject. Spend. Prepare to harass gun and safe makers, make guns and safes more expensive, punish, prod, nudge. Protect the consumer masses from evil capitalistic greedy negligent dangerous manufacturers of gun-related stuff. Prepare to enrich lawyers.

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.
~ Grow the where-the-guns-have-been list.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.
~ Grow the where-the-guns-have-been list. The DOJ knows about losing guns pretty well.

11. Nominate an ATF director.
~ Nobody has been confirmed in 6 years? How about Rosie O’Donnell (“I don’t care if you want to hunt, I don’t care if you think it’s your right. I say ‘Sorry.’ it’s 1999. We have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison.”)… perfect.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.
~ Proper, our way, consistent, everybody’s the same, training. So I can say I did it, so I can say I spent it, so you know who saved you. You hicks can’t figure out how to defend yourselves, can’t figure out how to hire your own experts, you know.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.
~ Posture. Tell the police to ignore, minimize, for now, stabbings, hit-and-runs, bludgeonings, poisonings, crucifixions, beheadings, malicious electrocutions, and arson-related killings, because I say so, because I say gun.

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Misdirect, Posture. Spend money that Congress didn’t say I could spend, tell the CDC to figure out why people kill people, classify guns as a disease, gun violence as a public health crisis, and then classify gun control as a miraculous vaccine that makes it so people don’t kill people.

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.
~ Tell the A.G. to harass gun makers to make guns that don’t kill people. Control the market, be the market, dictate, for the little people.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Encourage doctors to harass their patients about stuff that’s none of their business, and then of course, rat their patients out.

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list, I say. Encourage doctors to rat out their patients for any off-hand remarks they make, thereby painting targets on their patients’ backs, and forever branding them as psychopathic.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
~ Posture. Spend money that Congress didn’t say I could spend, stick my nose more into school business, so I can take credit for their hiring of SROs (cops tailored for school environments), something, as I said, those hicks just cannot do, without ME.

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.
~ Posture. Again, figure it all out for the knuckle-draggers, so I can say that I did, but for now, just schools and churches, because the kids are always worth the exploit, and the Christians are mad at me, so…

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Tell the States what they already know. Invent something they don’t know. Make sure they spend money.

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Campaign for PPACA, or MeCare. Make sure it’s equally as cheap for listees to get on the mental health services list as it is to get abortifacients.

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
~ Grow the gun-forbidden list. Same as item #21, but I really mean it. And have more people committed, I think.

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius(HHS) and Duncan(Education) on mental health.
~ Posture, misdirect, distract, propagandize, demonize. Tell my people to get inside the heads you people… for the people… at least while I get that other stuff done that you’re not looking at.

??What else might be done with this list??
??What checks are in place to prevent fraudulent and corrupt manipulation of the list??
!!None of this, none of what Obama proposes to Congress, has anything to do with the Constitutional purview of the federal government!! Check out this paper by Publius Huldah.
