“How can AMERICANS be fined, imprisoned, regulated by the EPA? No one elected them, they are not answerable to the people, they have no authority we can appeal to, they are unidentified by name and address, they are ubiquitous, they have demonstrated malice toward free enterprise — who the hell ARE these dictators?”
Not to be nitpicking but technically we can appall to the federal government’s own court systems. But that’s asking them to reconsider their edict.
Of course the EPA is no where authorized by our constitution it doesn’t take long to figure that out. But the Federal courts and the legal profession specialize in getting around the limits of the law.
It is not in their interest to follow the law nor is it in the interest of Federal politicians to appoint “justices” that regular enforce the limits of the constitution upon them.
As Elena Kagan promised in her confirmation hearings, she will support the power of the government.
So our Constitution really is dead, so long as states cannot nully the edicts of the Federal Government, and the Federal Governments is the sole decider of what is and what is not within the limits of its own power.
Under Constitutional theory the proper course of action for us is to declare the Constitution as being dead and as such our bonds to the Union no longer in effect. But of course The power hungry monsters will object to such a declaration as they did in 1861. If they behave as the tyrant Lincoln behaved they will attempt uses the sword to force their unconditional and unlimited power down our throats.
As a result I can only suggest that we raise awareness about how our Constitution is really dead. the General public must be made aware of this fact so that the uprising is broad spectrum and we can abolish the lawless government.
Actually I know all that and essentially agree with you, except I do not think that the Constitution is dead. Marxists in high positions have attempted to render it powerless, but there are citizens, many more than we know, who will defend it and confront those who would destroy it.
