Some clauses of the Constitution are observed, while most, like the contracts clause, are not. Those in force are those that established the three branches, elections, Washington DC as the seat of government, presidential vetoes, etc. I regard these as ‘hard’ clauses, those that are observed and unabused.
On the other hand, most clauses in our Constitution are ‘soft’ in nature, and comprise what James Madison referred to as mere parchment barriers. For instance, soft clauses are among the myriad that deal with regulation of commerce, taxation, free speech rights and the placement of all legislative powers in congress. These, the soft clauses, are disregarded, if not inverted, to serve purposes opposite of their clear intent.
On closer inspection, we’ll find that hard Constitutional clauses have an institution or an interest group to defend them. Otherwise, and without defense, they are sure to fall into the soft category and be soon disregarded as Ms. Huldah relates.
Every unconstitutional change to the Constitution (only a valid constitutional amendment can legally change the constitution) including Leftist “soft” and “hard” clauses and “living document” nonsense, is designed for ONE thing and ALWAYS results in ONE thing: the INCREASE of the power of the federal government with the requisite DECREASE in individual liberty.
Our goal is to RESTORE our Free Constitutional Republic. That means reinstating the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended as the supreme Law of the Land against the feds. THAT means, among other things, dismantling the 80% constitutional portion for the federal government which, in turn, means sending hundreds of thousands of federal officials, bureaucratic heads, and government workers home packing without a job, but a day of rejoicing for restored freedom and prosperity for America and Americans.
It is too big a job and cannot be done without God. But there is evidence that God is doing this very thing and Trump’s miraculous election is the first step.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 is a perfect example.
