“I’m confused.”

I know. So many are. Part of the Left’s long-term plan.

The federal government started its unconstitutional exodus around 1900. FDR gave the feds a serous push towards becoming totalitarian and unconstitutional and since then, the Supreme Court has helped the basic overthrow of our Free Constitutional Republic.

Trump inherited a mess - a $4 trillion government, $3+ trillion of which is absolutely unconstitutional.

Trump is trying to reverse this mess. Don’t call the current state of the federal government, the “Trump government”.>

Look, We the People need to GET SMART. Below is a way how. If we care about our country, our freedom, our lives, we should pay attention.

To recover their political and economic freedom from an increasingly despotic and totalitarian federal government, the American People MUST recover their only legal bulwark of freedom against federal tyranny: the U.S. Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. The people must once again establish the Rule of Law, the key to political freedom, by reinstating the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land and the Ruler over the federal government.

To do this, the average American must familiarize himself with the Constitution and understand how it mainly limits the federal government. Below is a rough outline of the possible order of things in approaching the Constitution in a way the average American could understand.

1st. Get a good grasp of the PRESUMPTIONS of the Constitution by reading the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, the Declaration of Independence and certain selected Federalist Papers. The major presumptions are

1) rights, freedoms, and powers are inherent in individuals, not government, and are given by God - among them are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. They are the God-given birth right of every individual and are NOT given nor taken away by government,

2) the Constitution does NOT grant rights and powers to individuals but the Constitution protects those rights which are God-given,

3) the powers of the federal government are CREATED and DELEGATED by individuals through the states via the Constitution. The Constitution is the CREATOR and LIMITER of the Federal Government,

4) if it is not a specific, enumerated power, it is not a power of the federal government whereas the opposite is true with the states and individuals. The states and the people are presumed SOVEREIGN outside of Constitutional mandates and limitations.

2nd. Understand the basic STRUCTURAL doctrines in the Constitution by reading resources with solid Constitutional-based reasoning like Robert Bork’s works. The Constitution creates the federal government and is its ONLY source of legitimate power and authority. The major structure of the feds is the three branches and the separation of powers between the branches with its checks & balances of power among the branches.

Article I creates the legislative branch, Article II creates the executive branch, Article III the judicial branch, Article IV puts certain limitations on the states, Article V outlines how to amend the Constitution, and Article VI declares the Constitution and ONLY those U.S. laws PURSUANT to the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.

3rd. Once you’ve got a hold of the presumptions and structure, you can READ THE TEXT of the Constitution with a basic understanding.

4th. Understanding modern PERVERSIONS that depart from the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. Such perversions are generally those Congressional acts and SCOTUS decisions over the last 100 years or so that have given the feds sweeping, authoritative, and actually totalitarian powers with little to no constitutional reasoning or basis for doing so. The big three perversions plus a forth that I have added, are

1) “The Incorporation Doctrine” - judicial misapplication of the 14th Amendment giving the feds sweeping powers not contemplated by the ratifiers of the amendment who intended the 14th Amendment to be a post-Civil War Reconstruction Amendment establishing ex-slaves as full citizens, nothing more.

2) The [Interstate] “Commerce Clause” (Art I, Sec 8, Cl 3) astonishingly expanded by Congress and ratified by SCOTUS to give the feds almost unlimited power over intrastate and local economic activities again, not contemplated by the ratifiers of the Constitution.

3) The “Necessary and Proper Clause” (Art I, Sec 8, Cl 18), originally intended to allow executive enforcement and regulation pursuant to legislation within the scope of the Constitution, the N&P Clause has been expanded beyond constitutional grounds and limits to such an extent that a quasi-fourth branch of government has been created: the Administrative State with behemoth unconstitutional bureaucracies.

4) The power and effect of SCOTUS decisions. Society and the legal community have granted SCOTUS much greater power than what the ratifiers of the Constitution contemplated. Nowhere does the Constitution give SCOTUS power to create national law. SCOTUS is the judicial, not legislative branch, given power to decide INDIVIDUAL CASES and CONTROVERSIES (Art III, Sec 2). Thus SCOTUS decisions, if soundly based on the Constitution, are valid but limited to precedent for like cases. A SCOTUS decision that is deemed unconstitutional should be ignored and nullified by the states and the other federal branches, but not without sound Constitution-based explanation and reasons for such nullification.

Post-1900 SCOTUS decisions are generally problematic while the pre-1900 decisions are better and more helpful in accurately interpreting constitutional phrases. There are very few good resources that critically analyze SCOTUS decisions based on sound constitutional understanding, and Bork’s books are one of those rare resources. https://www.amazon.com/Tempting-America-Robert-H-Bork/dp/0684843374

This is an action plan to begin the recovery of political freedom in America. The first step is the American People becoming familiar with and owning THEIR Constitution as written and originally understood and intended as outline above, which is the key to THEIR political freedom. The next step is the citizenry moving intelligently and boldly to choose, elect, and hold accountable representatives at the state level to enforce constitutional state sovereignty and nullify unconstitutional federal acts, which by definition are acts of tyranny, and at the federal level to cut government to its constitutional size. Armed with this knowledge and resulting boldness, the American People could begin to recover their freedoms and their Constitution that protects them.
