"When the Constitution is called "irrelevant" during a televised hearing with 'gavel-to-gavel' coverage on C-SPAN, and the proceedings are also being recorded by the committee itself, yet neither the live broadcast nor the separate video record contain this statement due to "technical difficulties" - you can see why reasonable people believe in conspiracies."
The Constitution Is No Longer Relevant
From Nancy Carlson
12-10-2
Hello Jeff Below is a portion of a newsletter received from Ron Paul, House Representative from Texas. (This man is a pearl who is wallowing around in the slop with the swine.) It's an amazing story and is so indicative of the state of this nation at this time in history!
Mr. Paul: "When the Constitution is called "irrelevant" during a televised hearing with 'gavel-to-gavel' coverage on C-SPAN, and the proceedings are also being recorded by the committee itself, yet neither the live broadcast nor the separate video record contain this statement due to "technical difficulties" - you can see why reasonable people believe in conspiracies.
Just remember, it is the system that is so diabolical; good men and women too easily get caught up in it. That is why the Founders, in their inspired wisdom, put constitutional restraints no only on the central government, but also on our elected leaders - who can become intoxicated with their own power, as history is teaching us again. We present a greater danger than ever to those who put politics above principle. I feel the brunt of this resentment first hand in the Halls of Congress. They are clever and increasingly nasty in expanding their unconstitutional - and therefore illegal - powers. But that is the way puffed-up establishment types typically respond when they see themselves being replaced by upstarts they can't control. And while the "upstarts" may not yet be storming the castle, a few are already in the House of Representatives. Most alarming to those who manipulate the system for the benefit of the special interest, are the "upstarts" who are coming to Washington like a breath of fresh air with the Freshman Class of 108th Congress. If my count is right, we will welcome five - and maybe more - new Members into the Liberty Caucus in 2003. That should be reason enough for you to cheer! Because in politics, numbers count. And ours are growing. As numbers go up, so does political courage. I'm going to tell you the full story behind the"no-longer-relevant-Constitution: statement that is so offensive. The proof of what happened is in the official transcript of the hearing where certain statements could not get "lost" due to "technical difficulties." The offensive comment is one of an increasing number of open assaults on the rule of law by those with the kind of ambition and agenda the Constitution was written to restrain. In one way, I'm glad it is out in the open. The televised hearings began on October 2nd. The subject was the resolution on the use of military force in Iraq. After a ten-day campaign to bring public opinion to bear the chairman of the International Relations Committee (IR) relented and agreed to have a hearing on the controversial resolution the White House wanted Congress to approve. In committee, I was determined to call a spade a spade. This "resolution to use military force" is a decision on whether or not to go to war. Of course everyone already knew that, but they just didn't want to be on record voting for an unpopular war. Ducking the responsibility with a resolution allowing the president to use force was politically appealing. There is always support for a popular war. But Members lack political
