2nd amendment, con-con, executive orders, federalist papers, gun rights, language, liberty, loyalty, Property, random, reason vs passion, security, separation of powers, states, U.S. Constitution

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#LowInformationVoterThoughts The U.S. Constitution (225) is outdated, yet the Communist Manifesto (164) is… not.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

Randoms: The Consequence of Bliss, A Sock, and Recycled Genius

activism, fear, fraud, ignorance, incrementalism, obamacare, power, self-sufficiency, sovereignty, states, truth, utopia

Can’t say what I’m REALLY thinking, except parchment, a sock, flies, sweat o’sloth, glass, laurel, a book, a son, and an empty box. @ 11.21.12

Paraphrasing Krauthammer on O’Reilly: It’s over, till it’s over, that’s when it can be fixed. @ 11.20.12

Chipping away at the problem is contingent on a measure of time, but a progressive century has unfortunately proven the method. @ 11.20.12

I’m not prepared to give up, but it’s best I prepare for the damage done by those who did. ~what a waste @ 11.20.12

I think obama’s re-coronation drills down to two things, ultimately: fear and fraud. Apply either, or both, to whatever. @ 11.19.12

Interesting, little states can buck the omnipotent fed. govt when it comes to smokin’ dope, but obamacare… that’s a done deal? #nullify @ 11.19.12

What better way to destroy “the genius of republican liberty”(fed.no.37) than to destroy the genius of the people whose liberty makes it up? @ 11.18.12

There is a difference between Barack Hussein Obama and the President of the United States. @ 11.18.12

I hate the word “activist”, as it conjures the radical & destructive stereotype. But this doesn’t mean I am prohibited from being “active”. @ 11.18.12

If the simple truth doesn’t work, then the simple truth cannot work, and the problem lies not with your powers of persuasion. #politics @ 11.17.12

WHO is it that Calculates whether vote fraud is WORTH prosecution? I mean, election outcome notwithstanding, Punish these bastards! #justice @ 11.17.12

If we’re going to need two Part-Time jobs to survive, due to obamacare, isn’t that gonna double commuter vehicle emissions? progressives? algore? @ 11.17.12

Rather than raise prices, biz’s to add an obamacare surcharge to the bill/receipt! Let people SEE the COST! Excellent! @ 11.17.12

“Government is only another word for POLITICAL POWER AND SUPREMACY” (emphasis Hamilton’s). Why would you CEDE more than agreed? ~No.33,p.07 @ 11.17.12
SUPREMACY only means ‘highest in authority’; there is no highest in humanity or virtue, and only One Supreme Judge. @ 11.17.12

Even IF the Left COULD create ‘paradise’ on earth, I’d rather not live in it. @ 11.17.12

The last thing I remember didn’t happen… yet? @ 11.16.12

Jase:”Ya want somethin done, ya do it yourself” Si:”That’s what started this company” Jase:”That’s what started this COUNTRY”#duckdynasty @ 11.16.12

I’ve not seen or heard or read ANY news today. Ignorance truly IS bliss… I don’t think I like bliss… gonna check on @seanhannity @ 11.15.12

Once we were States. Once we would say “NO”

10th amendment, natural rights, NO, nullification, nullify, states, tyranny, U.S. Constitution

Update 12.02.12 (add rel. links)
11.23.12 (rev. draft letter)

What if the U.S. government, like you know, the President or Congress, were to suddenly say ”It’s now against the law to be a Christian, and America will no longer tolerate that faith, and you people who practice Christianity will be punished going forward and backward, and the new American religion is officially going to be Islam.”?

You would, of course, rightly say “That’s ridiculous!” and “This is a FREE country!” or “Doesn’t the Constitution protect our freedom of religion?”

What, if then, the U.S. government, like you know, the President or Congress, or five of the nine persons on the Supreme Court, were to suddenly declare “It’s now illegal for television and radio and newspapers and magazines and the internet to say or write or show anything that is not approved first by the U.S. government.”?

Obviously, you would say “No way! This is America!” or “I can say what I want!” and “Who the hell do they think they are!!” or “Doesn’t the Bill of Rights protect Free Speech and the Freedom of the Press?!”

What if the majority in the U.S. government was united and unwavering in these blatant acts of tyranny, and what if the minority in the U.S. government who oppose this cruelty, were unwilling or afraid to stop it?  What then?  Who, then, will safeguard your liberty?

What would you DO about it?  What would we DO about it?  Sure, we’d say “NO”, “We’re not going to comply!”, and “That’s not a REAL law!”  But what about when the U.S. government starts using force, arresting people, or seizing bank accounts or other property for noncompliance?  Can we, as individuals, repel the massive power of the federal government?

…What if half of our neighbors didn’t care one bit about the this lawlessness and arbitrary rule, and by their ignorance, willfully submit to and empower it?

~Excerpts from Federalist No.31 pars.11-12 ~Alexander Hamilton
States, by their orig. constitutions, are invested with complete sovereignty. […] strength is always on the side of the people; @
Every thing beyond (the federal powers delineated in the constitution), must be left to the prudence and firmness of the people; @
…the people; who, as they will hold the scales in their own hands, it is to be hoped, @
…hoped, (the people) will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium btwn the general and the state govts. @
~~Once universal understanding of American government and faith in the America people… forgotten. ~series tweeted 08.08.12

“This doctrine supposes the perfections of God to be the representatives to us of whatever we perceive in the creatures.” ~Locke ? @ 08.07.12
