If Biden signs us up for this then “Pandemic X” and WHO-controlled quarantines will surely follow.
It should be 50.
Patrick Henry warned us about the treaty power during the Virginia Ratifying Convention. Hamilton lied about it in his response in Federalist 75. See Patrick Henry "Ratified": The Treaty Power, Its Perils and Portents
As “public health” could literally mean anything, I cannot believe that a simple agreement by the President is enough to allow a global organization like the WHO, to essentially do whatever they want. Where are the checks and balances? How are grievances filed? Where is the oversight?
Any politician who votes for this is a straight up traitor. They’re voting for the US to give up sovereignty to the WHO. That’s crazy.
"Coalition of 22 State AGs Call on Biden to Reject Treaty Drastically Expanding WHO Authority"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
I surmise that there are 22 (50?) institutionally indoctrinated state AGs who haven't really studied the Constitution that they swore to protect and defend.
Otherwise, they would be able to argue the following MAJOR constitutional problems with expanding WHO authority over the sovereignty states.
Not only have the states never expressly constitutionally given the big, bad, corrupt feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes, not even to stop the spread of diseases, Obamacare unconstitutional imo, but respected constitutional experts have also noted that the federal government cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a backdoor to expand its powers.
First, Thomas Jefferson and Justice Joseph Story as examples, had noted that healthcare is a state power issue, not the business of the feds. In other words, Obamacare for example, is just another corrupt federal government front-end for unconstitutional, unaccountable federal government taxing and spending imo.
"Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphases added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
"Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country." —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Regarding the federal government unconstitutionally expanding its powers through WHO, Thomas Jefferson, undoubtedly based on his experience as President of the Senate, also the Supreme Court, had both clarified that the feds cannot use treaties to expand the federal government's powers.
“Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.
(Again) "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Since the post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot be trusted to respect the Constitution, it is up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his 2nd term, Congress also supporting him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
