When not one member of the US Congress cares about the
Constitution, then it functionally does not even exist.
Yep - "suspending" the Constitution would be suspending all that has happened in government to date, (Constitutional or not) and would result in a Monarchal Dictatorship with zero constraints, thereby fulfilling the "Zero" label many of us have put on the POS in the WH.
I think its time to start suspending congressmen who are willing to cede their authority to Obama. If the people of their districts don’t like it, tough.
Nearly all members of Congress on the left see the Constitution — correctly — as a check on their power. Unfortunately, a growing majority of representatives and senators on the right see the Constitution as worth defending — but only when it’s convenient to do so.
I was under the impression all these years, the constitution was the law of the land.
If so, how can members of congress breach the law with impunity and skirt prosecution?
Exactly. I signed up to Free Republic some time ago and at the height of the Tea Party activity I had hopes of actually having results.
However it has become crystal clear we have lost. I prayed the first election of Obama was a “perfect storm” combination of race, media, economic conditions and magical thinking. His re-election has hammered home the truth the takers have control.
My family and I have the intelligence and ability to prosper. I tried to help create a country where someone was judged and rewarded according to their character. “They” are saying I was wrong. Doing so is racist. Fine..”They” win.
I will join them in supporting a ruling elite that will keep them slaves. I’ll throw them an occasional phone or other bright trinket for them to wallow in the swill with. Let them kill their babies. Let them allow their sons and daughters that manage to get through P.P. kill one another over drugs or tennis shoes. I don’t care anymore.
This system will crash, and then my children, and grand children will bury the trash and rebuild. We will survive.
Elites always need a productive society to skim off of. Does anyone think that when the rulling elites are overburdened by the demands of the grabbers, they wont hesitate to eliminate them? And when that starts, do you think I will cry for them. I say the sooner the better. Want to burn down your community because the brigh light is so pretty. Here’s your matches. Elites always need a productive society to skim off of.
America’s strength was always based on the strength of the Individual and an adherence to the principles of Cristianity. I am willing to fight and die for those that share that view.
I can give a rat’s @$$ for the heathen scum that now has control. I know how to get rid of feral hogs.
