A government branch which does not operate according to USConstitutional Law, should be disbanded at best. Acting upon supposed _legal_ traditions instead of law as defined by USConstition is just brazen lawlessness; at worst this is treason.
I ask you to carefully consider the words of Oliver Cromwell, Dissolution of the Long Parliament, given to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653:
“It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
|
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
|
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lords temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
|
In the name of God, go!”
Love the Cromwell quote. Would that he we had some Cromwells of our own.
