SCOTUS v States

Share
I am very grateful today that I was not awarded a position with DHS five years ago. If I were a law enforcement officer today, I would be extremely frustrated. What would I actually do for a living? I can't ask for papers, and DHS will no longer send them to check if local officers detain an illegal alien.

John Roberts has been a huge disappointment, and if this is a preview of coming attractions, then the calamities foretold by prophets ancient and modern are about to come upon this people. James Madison said that the Constitution was written for a moral and religious people; there is nothing moral about protecting aliens over the citizenry. POTUS and SCOTUS are immoral, and now we know it.

SCOTUS decisions are paradoxical and contradictory. They cannot compel us to have an ID, but they can compel us to have health care. They refuse to enforce laws, but they can strike down laws passed by states that are in support of federal law. Precedence is a funny thing, because they choose to ignore what doesn't support their notions and pick out minutea that are sometimes absolutely unrelated. For example, they refuse to profile certain individuals from known terror client nations, but in 1890, SCOTUS ruled that it was legal to seize the property of Mormons because polygamy threatened the country's Christian character. Now they say it's not a Christian nation. Which one is it? Or does it just change with the whims of those nine justices garbed in the black robes of a false priesthood?

According to Justice Kennedy (a title that doesn't apparently have anything to do with Justice), only the federal government can pass immigration laws. However, they say absolutely nothing about sanctuary cities and states, about tuition subsidies for illegal aliens, about health care and other benefits for illegal aliens. It's a foist on a somnambulent public where they have things both ways and seem to treat the law more like the pirate's code. What are the states supposed to do now? Apparently they have to follow unconstitutional laws from the federal government or face military suppression. In effect, the Supreme Court of the United States abolished the 10th Amendment today and abolished states. They are now client kings of Rome.

The United States stands on the edge of a knife. States are no longer allowed to protect their own citizens, and the federal government is disinclined to. A barbarian has risen to the position of Consul, and he is only interested in his own power and the power of his friends, the citizens of the republic be damned. Arizona got slapped down today for daring to challenge the authority of Rome, and if they try anything else, they might have to face down her legions as well.

The Constitution hangs by a thread. The Minutemen must muster. I'll be flying that flag every bloody day from now on until they come and force me to strike it.

Update 3:46 PM Romney, despite his claims to be the warrior to protect the Constitution, is confederate with the court. Rather than come out strongly, his spokesmen dodge the question. Rather than step up for and defend the Constitution, he's watching his own back. Yes, he's an albatross, and he smacks of cowardice. I'll gladly be proven wrong, but that's up to him to evince. The data suggests he does not belong to Phylum Chordata.
