OPEN LETTER TO
SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN
THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
By: Sergei Hoff
Senator Feinstein:
My open letter is in response to your indignant comments to
Colin Powell, concerning the United Nations and Mr. Ashcroft's
Second Amendment interpretation. Specifically, the right of
individuals to keep and bear arms.
Why is it, that within the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and
Tenth Amendments of our Bill of Rights, the rights of the
"people" are correctly interpreted as referring to the rights
of "individuals", and yet, only within the Second Amendment, is
the word "people", allegedly intended by our Founding Fathers
to denote a collective or state right? If it is your position
that the Second Amendment is addressing only a collective or
state right, then, for the purposes of clarification and
uniformity, we should immediate replace the words "people" and
"persons" with the word "state", in all aforementioned
Amendments.
Upon performing this minor alteration, we can all feel certain
that our 50 states will be comforted in knowing that they now
have a right to freely express their religion beliefs. And,
perhaps, our state governments can now be secure in the
knowledge that they are free to speak and peaceably assemble.
Freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures will certainly
bring a sense of well-being to our states. Each state can
rejoice in the understanding that they cannot be arrested
without a warrant, to be issued only upon probable cause. That
the life, limb and property of each state cannot be placed in
jeopardy twice for the same offense. And, the state shall no
longer be compelled in a criminal case to give evidence against
itself. Each state can now eagerly anticipate the utterance of
a police "Miranda" warning, prior to its arrest and
prosecution. Frankly, I think that it would be far easier to
abolish the Ninth Amendment altogether, rather than explain
why
we believed it necessary to change its meaning from "Reserved
rights to the people" to "Reserved rights to the state". A few
awakened individuals might feel compelled to question this one.
Lastly, we must now proceed to erode the Tenth Amendment.
The
distortion of this Amendment is also quite simple. Henceforth,
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved
to the states, respectively, and back to the states again,
where such powers shall remain". Not to worry, Senator
Feinstein, as the Tenth Amendment will become quite confusing
as a result of this proposed change, and most citizens haven't
a clue as to what our Bill of Rights represent, I do not
believe that many challenges will arise to cause you
consternation.
In this light, I should imagine that anyone exhibiting even a
trace of commonsense could not help but see the
preposterousness of such semantic manipulations. But, in
reality, this is precisely what politicians, equal in cunning
to yourself, and disingenuous judiciaries have contrived for
the Second Amendment, our principal defender of the Bill of
Rights.
In a most illustrative example of governmental corruption and
hypocrisy, which, to my knowledge, has never been challenged
in
a court of law, let us now examine the following scenario that
everyone can easily comprehend. If a state or local government
were to violate the civil rights of any individual (clearly
defined and enumerated within the Bill of Rights), the federal
government and courts would immediately admonish that
offending
state or city. Excluding, of course, the civil and unalienable
individual rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment. The
Second Amendment is the only Constitutional protection to be
singled out for, state and local recognition or lack thereof,
state interpretation, and unconstitutional state infringements.
Whereas, the states are seldom permitted to infringe upon the
civil rights contained within the remaining nine Amendments,
they are encouraged by the federal government and courts to
assault the principles of the Second Amendment. These
legislative and judicial abuses are an outrage, yet, willfully
and readily employed in every state within this nation.
Whether or not the majority of citizens believe in the right of
the people (individuals) to keep and bear arms is irrelevant to
the application of constitutional law. Intentionally
disregarding degrees of social and political popularity, the
Constitution equally protects the rights of every individual.
Like it or not, this is a nation of laws and not men. We do not
consider the political correctness of Socialism, or polls of
public opinion in order to determine which unalienable,
constitutional rights government shall permit the people to
exercise. We are dependent upon "Constitutional Law" for such
judgments. Not any individual (yourself included) or faction
has ever been blessed with the luxury of picking and choosing
which "Article or Amendment" is more convenient and adaptable
to their self-serving needs. The Constitution must be accepted
logically, with honesty and in its entirety.
The essence and intent of the United States Constitution, Bill
of Rights, and Second Amendment, have most definitely
ricocheted off your intellect. In presenting a conclusion of
such vital principles, the void of honest scrutiny and practice
should be of some concern to many. On the other hand, your
accomplishments as an illusionist have not all been in vain or
gone unnoticed. And, I must admit, that your skills as a
puppeteer are masterful and unsurpassed. Your successful
career
of swaying the unwitting masses, can further be attributed to
an artful projection of mindless mob hysteria (i.e. Million Mom
March). However, and sadly, I can only assume that you
perceive
man's eternal search for truth, as a challenge to be avoided at
all costs. I suspect, that at this stage of your political
career, many of your more enlightened constituents must be
quite dispirited by their lack of ethical and effective
representation. With talents such as yours, comes a few small
sacrifices. Unfortunately, for your constituents.
For the continuance of U. S. Sovereignty and welfare of the
citizenry, I shall suggest that women of your temperament
should remain in the home, where damages resulting from a
lack
of conscience and integrity, can easily be confined to a single
family dwelling. As it now stands, nationally, your ambitious
and misguided political efforts are placing our individual
liberties and lives in peril, rendering you unfit for any
position of authority. Your several terms in office have
revealed unimpeachable evidence that you are an emotionally
immature and shallow person, an icon of senatorial arrogance.
Your craftiness has promoted nothing less harmful than anger,
chaos and a divided nation. The ambivalence that you have
displayed towards our individual liberties, including the right
of self-defense, is unforgivable. No, it is intolerable!
I am not so foolishly optimistic to believe that any individual
will ever dissuade you from your follies. Although, the
majority of voters have been overcome by a sense of
hopelessness, I can at least be content by collaborating with
those several thousands who are committed to exposing your
subversive activities, through open letters such as this.
Madam, you deserve no more comfort provided by the people. A
vote of confidence must now be encouraged and organized by
your
California constituents, with the intent of dislodging your
disloyal derriere from the coveted senatorial chair.
As a matter of form I bid you good day,
Sergei Borglum Hoff
