The Constitution isn’t being ignored, except by Obama. Its meaning have been perverted to mean that the government has the power to do nearly anything, include to force you to purchase soemthing you neither want nor can afford. The CoS would put plain language back into the Constitution to clarify the limits and impose new, stricter limits on the federal govern.
“The Constitution isn’t being ignored, except by Obama. Its meaning have been perverted to mean that the government has the power to do nearly anything, include to force you to purchase soemthing you neither want nor can afford.”
You’re dreaming...
1. The Supreme court ruled in favor of Obamacare including forcing people to buy a product they may not want.
2. A democratic congress voted for Obamacare and a republican congress voted to not defund it.
3. A republican congress voted to fund the illegal amnesty decree that obama didn’t even officially issue through an executive order. In other words he’s bypassing even the most rudimentary formalism.
4. A judge ruled against obama on his non-deportation decree. Obama is thumbing his nose to the judge and no one is doing anything about it.
5. A republican governor and republican state legislature passed a law protecting the freedom of religious beliefs stated in the 1st amendment (something that shouldn’t even be necessary), yet within 24hours they caved totally to the “mob” reversing their own decision and in the process gutting the 1st amendment.
6. Republican congressional leaders have voluntarily given up their two biggest powers when they came out and said that they will not restrict spending if obama threatens to shut down the government and that they have no intention of impeaching Obama.
7. If you were Obama intent on “fundamentally transforming America” would you give a crap about the constitution, any constitution, when you’re given carte blanche?
Any constitution is just a piece of paper - it only acquires substance and power when the people it’s supposed to protect (the citizens) are prepared to protect its values with their sacrifice of treasure, honor and yes, even lives.
Unfortunately, we’re a long ways from that. Most of us still expect our institutions (the Presidency, Congress, the courts, agencies, military, churches, etc.)to do that hard work for us. But that won’t happen because most institutions have been co-opted by the enemies of the constitution - of our values.
