At Gun Control Hearing, Sen. Blurts Out, “Let’s not get involved in Constitutional Arguments”
Freedom Outpost ^ | 1/22/2016 | Tim Brown

Following the unconstitutional executive orders of Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Soebarkah, Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) openly stated that she did not want to get into constitutional arguments regarding the matter.

"I look forward to...listening to the attorney general and listening to this wonderful panel that you've invited to participate today," she said.

"So let's solve the problem," Mikuski added. "Let's not get involved in constitutional arguments, and let's help our American people be safe and secure in their home, their neighborhood, their school and their house of worship."

See the problem? She is switching out liberty for security and the American people will end up with neither because the alleged threat against us will shift from common ordinary criminals to the criminal element in our government, like Ms. Mikuski, who doesn't care for the oath of office to uphold the Constitution.

The Constitution does not provide for Mikuski or her colleagues to provide any gun restriction or regulation. It does not give her or any other servant of the people the authority to "help our American people be safe and secure in their home, their neighborhood, their school and their house of worship."

The things it does give power to Congress for, they ignore! They usurp this authority and the sadly, the American people allow them to not only talk about it, but to eventually implement it.

Mikuski's statements came ahead of a Senate Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee hearing, which heard testimony from Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who is not elected by the people and has no legislative authority to make up law nor enforce "law" that is not authorized in the Constitution.

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) told Lynch, "The department is on notice. This subcommittee will have no part in undermining the Constitution and the rights that it protects."

However, Lynch basically ignored that statement and claimed that she has "complete confidence that the common sense steps announced by the president are lawful."

Lynch said that Obama's actions were "well-reasoned measures" and are "well within existing legal authorities, built on work that's already underway."

The problem with that statement? None of it is authorized by Congress to legislate in the Constitution. Therefore, none of it is authorized in the Constitution for the Executive Branch to execute. So, I have no idea where the criminal Attorney General Loretta Lynch is getting her information that this is within existing legal authorities, but it is not the legal and lawful authority of the Constitution.

Both Obama and Lynch should be immediately removed from office and indicted for their crimes against the people. Second, members of Congress who have cowardly stood by and allowed all of this to go on this long, should also face aiding and abetting these criminals. Enough is enough!

“She swore to God on a Bible to protect and defend the Constitution.

The illogical nature of that alone, of thinking one can do that and pretend God doesn’t take that seriously, is sick.”

She does not acknowledge God, she just had to jump through that hoop to step into her power seat. These people have no moral compass, which is the result of believing we are only re-arranged pond scum, not as being created in God’s image. Just like a muslim, lying is all part of doing what is “right” to them.

This crap is not about citizen safety. This is wanting citizen disarmament so jerks like Mikulski and her freak pals in government can travel about without having to worry about pesky high-velocity projectiles coming through their car and office windows and spoiling their whole day.

It’s not ok. Why do they not say ‘I’m not going to swear to God...’ ?

They think it’s silly not worth the fight. But whom do they think they represent?

Anyway, regardless of what they think, ygey must answer to God in the end. He wants this country in place, the way it was intended

“It’s not ok. Why do they not say “I’m not going to swear to God...” ?”

Of course it’s not OK. Lying is possibly the most important method of advancing all Satanic agendas. Islam, atheism, faux Christianity, etc. RE: The father of all lies.

She is clearly violating her oath of office and should be removed immediately.

Most of the people who would have to remove her live in glass houses and long ago learned not to throw that kind of stone.

‘”Let’s not get involved in constitutional arguments, and let’s help our American people be safe and secure in their home, their neighborhood, their school and their house of worship.”’

My my...how reassuring that sounds to the lazy and apathetic. It implies a benevolent govt will protect and guard you. However, courts have already ruled the police have no requirment to protect you. That and even if they come when 911 is called it likely wont be in time. They know all this too but will lie to your face without shame. The people of MD seem to want to be lied to.

Let's solve the problem of the liberal press... Let's not get involved in constitutional arguments, let's help the American people get unbiased reporting from this point on... to hell with the First Amendment...

Wonder how Mikuski would feel if we were rock-bottom control freak totalitarians like she is...

If you can’t say “the science is settled, the debate is over,” then say you don’t want to get involved in Constitutional arguments.
