What is the rule that every government follows, save one, and where can one find the philosophy that governs that lone exception?

All governments follow the rule that government is King, and thus it can say or do what ever it decides to do. The one lone exception is the United States, which is ruled by the people. However, as Benjamin Franklin stated to the little old lady who asked him what government they gave us. He replied to her,

“A republic, madam – if you can keep it.">

As for the article, good read.

Now everyone must understand that our constitution is not a living document, it can and only be relevant to things it does not specifically already mention unless we amend it. The current Judges have their desire to write whatever they desire to be constitutional regardless of the truth.

That being said, now our biggest enemy right now is not the leftists on the court. Our problem is the two who make up the conservative bench. Kennedy, who is a mugwump and gets more liberal as he gets older. The other is John Roberts, who has already subverted the Constitution by legalizing the monstrosity known as Obamacare. How did he did it? By calling it a tax, which the administration itself argued it was not. With that ruling, Roberts ruled that the government is our creator and thus has a right to control our life.

The constitution say God is our creator, but the constitution be dammed.

Mark my words, John Roberts will screw us again, and he will do so at a moment we need him the most as he did with Obamacare.

So do not sit by feeling comfortable with the lie that we now own the court because of Gorsuch. We don't. It is still a 5-4 majority in favor of the anti-constitutional side.

Until we get two more judges, and I pray ine replaces Kennedy, or one of the liberals, that will uphold the constitution as Scalia did, we will be biting our finger nails each and every time a case that matters to us goes before the Supreme Court.

Thank you for the reply (ies).

Yes, the article is a good read.

And, Yes, all governments. save one, believe their role is to rule every behavior of its constituents (except one very special class).

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security - “

Recognize thr above? Of course you do. It is that portion of The Declaration which declares the philosophy governing the original Constitution (including the first ten Amendments). Mr Jefferson was selected to write the whole of The Declaration not because he held special knowledge not held by others (they all knew the particulars in The Declaration)), but because of his eloquence. He did a magnificent job.
