Fight on to stop government grab of money needed for legal defense

It’s no secret that President Obama and his Democratic Party want to restrict the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

In addition, First Amendment religious-freedoms protections have been challenged by Obamacare.

And freedom of speech? That’s just fine as long as it lines up with the “same-sex marriage” social agenda.

Now, a case is posing a challenge to the Fifth Amendment’s property rights and due process protections along with the Sixth Amendment’s assurance of counsel for those accused of crimes.

The U.S. Supreme Court now is posed with the question: Does the government have the right to charge you with a crime and then seize your bank accounts, checkbook, savings and other assets so that you cannot afford to hire a lawyer to defend yourself?

Governments don't have rights. Governments have powers.

People have rights and powers.

Lots of people start that off on the wrong foot.

Big difference between rights and powers.

Does the government have the right to charge you with a crime ...

It’s unclear to me what the crime is in this example.

But the first thing that patriots need to do when charged with breaking a federal law is to determine if the law that they broke is reasonably based on one of the clauses in the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I. If none of the clauses reasonably apply then the law may be unconstitutional imo, a law that the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate should have killed while it was still a bill.

This part of the article is complete BS.

The government routinely confiscates the proceeds of proven illegal activity, such as drug money.

No, what happens is, the property is charged with a crime and the owner must prove his property innocent in order to reclaim it. The FAIR Act would attempt once again to rein in this practice.
