The USA is patently post-constitutional More proof that the Republic is ancient history. Why have a Constitution if it’s not enforced? Our tyrannical govt has trashed the Constitution once more If both of your Senators names do not appear on this list…
15 good guys out of 100. Here Are the 15 Senators Who Voted to Stop Armed FDA Agents from Conducting Warrantless Raids on America's Farmers (Not One of Them is a Democrat) Our representatives in Washington have trampled the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to death. Amendment IV (Repealed by Congress) The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation*, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. The 4th, IMHO, begins to get murky, even back then. What does “effects” include in the first clause? What is “unreasonable? Do effects cover telegrams, phone & Internet service? What about offices, backyard sheds and warehouses? Are they exempt? And what is “unreasonable”? What happens when the govt violates these rights? See what I mean. Murky wiggle room. Before govt can search, it must show probable cause, be supported by oath or affirmation and describe the place and person(s) to be searched or seized. It's not worth the yellow parchment it's written on. Rich Martin http://reason.com/blog/2012/05/24/here-are-the-15-senators-who-voted-to-st Now look at Article V of the trampled Supreme Law of the Land To be Constitutional, this is how it must be done. Amendments The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this constitution, or on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress: Provided, that no amendment which may be made prior to the year 1808, shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate. I can hear our Founders crying in their graves. “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it?” Declaration of Independence, from 1776 to today.
