Name Calling and “Tenther Nullification Nonsense” in Arizona
AzBlueMeanie claims in the article Neoconfederate insurrectionists in Arizona Legislature revive discredited ‘nullification’ theory that: All elected officials in Arizona take the following oath of office: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona, that I will bear true [...]
SCOTUS and the EPA vs Private Property
On March 21, TAC reported that the Supreme Court had ruled in favor of an Idaho couple who had been petitioning the court system to be allowed to make their case concerning EPA administrative heavy handedness. The post, U.S. Supreme Court: Idaho Couple can take EPA to Court, reported that the couple had been directed [...]
Supreme Court gets the Constitution right, for once
In an overwhelming 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the odious Westboro Baptist Church and the First Amendment. That is, the amendment which protects ALL speech, not just politically-correct, state-approved speech. Bravo. The nine highest-paid federal judges in the land have proved themselves capable of comprehending the plain language of the Constitution. Why then, we [...]
VA Intrastate Commerce Act up for key vote tomorrow
If we choose to exercise it, the Tenth Amendment explicitly gives us the power to enforce the Constitution’s letter and spirit through political action, regardless of the opinions and preferences of the ruling class.
It’s Time to Nullify Federal Court Decisions
As a supporter of laws like SB1070 and other state and local efforts to curb illegal immigration I am disturbed by the trend that federal courts are now weeding through state laws and deciding if they are constitutional or not. Whether or not you support state efforts to curb illegal immigration you have to agree [...]
The Supreme Court as Ultimate Arbiters?
“To consider the Judges of the Superior Court as the ultimate Arbiters of Constitutional questions would be a dangerous doctrine which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. They have with others, the same passion for party, for power, and for the privileges of their corps – and their power is the more [...]
Is Obama Care Illegal?
Well, of course it is…but Dom Armentano makes an interesting case that under status quo, it’s not – but yet – still horribly immoral and wrong. Here’s an excerpt: To find the mandates in Obama Care illegal and, indeed, to roll back the bulk of economic regulation on business, would require a radical rethinking of [...]
Supreme Court of the United States or The World?
The United States Supreme Court leftists have once again decided to crush the Constitution and the 10th Amendment by striking down a juvenile sentencing law simply because they don’t like it personally and–the most outrageous reason–because they cited the fact that other countries have long since abandoned this practice. And this despite the fact that [...]
The Case Against Case Law
Today when you hear the term Constitutional Scholar or Constitutional Expert you get the image of someone who has studied the Constitution and perhaps the Ratification Debates as well as the federalist papers. Someone who has studied the philosophers whose opinions were crucial to how our nation was to be governed like Blackstone, Cicero and [...]
We need to reclaim the Constitution from the Supreme Court
Dr. Robert Lowry Clinton has a fantastic article in the National Review this week. (h/t Mike Rogers) Here’s an excerpt: Many Americans are puzzled and angry about the judicial assault on religion, morality, and common sense that has been going on for the past few decades. People wonder, for example, how the First Amendment (which [...]
Lawsuits are a Distraction
Jon Roland of Constitution.org had this to say about the lawsuits that AGs are filing on the health care bill There are a few minor things that might be won through litigation, if it were properly pleaded, but the suit filed is incompetent, little more than political posturing. The courts are not going to oppose [...]
The Futility of a Court Fight
Andrew Napolitano hits the nail on the head – as usual.
The Latest Edict from our “Supreme” Rulers
Writes Lew Rockwell: The Anti-Federalists predicted that a “Supreme” Court would help pave the way towards tyranny. Now the Nine Creeps have agreed with the Dictator that if he or any of his army of highly paid dependents declares a person to be a suspected enemy combatant (i.e., an enemy of the people), anything can [...]
The Spineless Supreme Court
Tenthers are constantly reminded by worshipers of the Judicial Supremacists on the highest Court that we’re re-arguing areas that were settled long ago by those black-robed deities. Yet Tenthers reject the notion that the federal Court can rewrite the Constitution for the entire nation if 5 politically connected lawyers agree. Besides the fact that this [...]
The Tenth Amendment and the Supreme Court
As the Tenth Amendment becomes the platform to stop an over reaching federal government, do we trust the Supreme Court to be a fair arbiter? The Supreme Court, according to many constitutionalists, has been delinquent in its responsibility to protect the intention of the U.S. Constitution. Many past Supreme Court decisions have become bad precedent, [...]
The Constitution of the Founders, not the Courts
Famed legal theorist Randy Barnett has been writing a flurry of blog posts lately over at The Volokh Conspiracy regarding what is “constitutional” – and, of course, what is not, too. The focus of late has been a debate at Politico.com regarding the Constitution and national health care. Barnett first takes the position that when viewing the Constitution [...]
Constitutional Wisdom from Randy Barnett
I haven’t been too friendly to some of the solutions that Randy Barnett has offered for the problems we face, but – in regards to an original understanding of the purpose and intention of the Constitution, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone better. His recent blog post over at Volokh, regarding his rebuttal at Politico.com [...]
Nullifying ObamaCare: An Alternative To The Supreme Court Ruling
Recently, the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare was constitutional. The Administration takes this as a green light to implement ObamaCare to its fullest extent possible. Because the election went in President Obama’s favor, the Senate and House have lost any desire to overturn the law. Without the overturn, it looks like the law making Obamacare [...]
