I don't have a problem leaving. Let me explain it this way. On one side of my family, I have a lieutenant who was shot in the leg while delivering dispatches to General Washington; on the other, immigrants fleeing a hostile environment. In both cases, the branch with the lieutenant and the branch with the immigrants believed in the guiding principles of the US Constitution. It was unique. It was wonderful.

But it is not currenty believed nor upheld by members of Congress or the Supreme Court. The games we play to pretend otherwise are quite sad. I knew my country was lost with the Kelo vs New London decision of the Supremes and worse, when you consider that 7/9 of the justices at the time of that decision were appointed by Republicans.

I can add to the list, as I am sure you can too. So, my quandary, if the Supreme Court refuses to uphold the Constituion, why bother staying?

You have an ancestor who delivered despatches to General Washington, and you don't know the answer to that question?

Your ancestor took a bullet because of his belief in the principles which gave birth to this nation. He didn't flee when confronted with evil in government. He fought back. If he and thousands of other good patriots had all fled when tyranny raised its head, we'd still be a British colony today.

Freedom and liberty are not guaranteed. The black robed servants of the ruling class will never defend your God-given rights. Only you can do that, by asserting them. Demanding them. Fighting for them, if need be.

It was an earthquake beginning to the end. The first symptom of America’s ensuing death spiral.
