“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

- Ayn Rand

The is now what the Powers that Be says it is. When they were allowed to steal the election, the Law was rendered null and void. When they stole the Election, they violated all Election Laws they swore to uphold.

Wear the white square. Obey.
You won’t go to jail, but you’ll be fined out of existence if you don’t wear the square.

You must not have received the message we tossed out the Constitution nearly two weeks ago.

No, rather there is LIMITED authority to enact laws in Congress, and these are granted by the enumerated Powers with all other potential powers being reserved to others besides the several States.

There is no delegated power given the federal to right employment laws enforceable among the several States. There is no delegated power given to the federal to right civil rights statutes that private persons or private entities among the several States are obligated to obey them. Therefore the 10th Amendment is the controlling law that forbids the federal to enact such statutes and try to apply them to those in the States.

A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

There's the problem. How many of today's "free people" depend on the fed govt for their sustenance?

And what if the same percentage of people in the 1770's were mortgaged to the eyeballs, as there are today?

The clause exist to allow the federal to restrain State governments from using their own powers to make commerce irregular, to prevent citizens of other States from engaging in commerce within them on an equal footing.

It does not exist to allow the federal to tell those private persons or privately held entities engaged in commerce what they may not do or must do.

Moreover, even discounting that what merely affects commerce but is not actually interstate commerce, including intrastate commerce, is not covered by the clause despite the high handed lawlessness of the Court in the 20th century. At issue is the scope of the power being asserted for despite what you might thing as a matter of regulatory and police powers the regulation of commerce within any State or of employment practices within the States is far more profound and far reaching than merely making commerce among the States regular ... and you do not justify executing a greater power not delegated in the name of a lesser power that is.

The federal has no delegated power for these statutes.

Many folks don’t know sign language and depend on lip-reading in order to understand what’s being said.

I’m in that category.

My solution: clear face shield on glasses frame.

To: Houmatt; All
My sewing skills are going to make me a MINT by the time all of this foolishness is over - if EVER!

I'm working on a design right now for sew-on patches that these 'agencies' can force us to wear should we not comply with their current UNLAWFUL edict.

Since the 'Star of David' in yellow has already been done to DEATH, as has 'The Scarlet Letter' in red, I'll opt for a muddy-brown circle that says, 'UNCLEAN' in the center for the mask-less masses to wear.

Did I mention how much I HATE the world we're living in these days? Thanks again, Socialists! *SPIT*

I’ve long opined that those with IRAs will see Congress someday claim it was improper to have ever given them a tax break and the result will be that they’ll seize the principal. Having said this I further advised that Roth IRAs would at least allow you to protect your principal (discounting inflation of course) even though they’ll take your interest.

People forget that the Courts have said that We the People once had a long standing right to prosecute a private prosecution of a public right, IOW challenge acts of the government, and that we didn’t need to demonstrate a harm particular to us to be able to do so. Frothingham v Mellon corruptly cast that away violating the 9th Amendment in the process by requiring a particular harm, rather than a general harm, to even have Standing to appear before them.

Which is to say they told us to shut up and go away.

Thus the black robes wicked judges rid themselves of all those proverbial persistent widows seeking their petition be heard and allowed themselves room to do as they pleases with the Law and not be challenged about it.

Considering all the damage these FDR-Arbitrary-Government spawned politicians do when they actually “work” I love me some gridlock. Shutdowns would be fantastic! Them working is expensive!

Be cheaper and less damaging to send them all to Tahiti most of the year and pick up their likely outrageous tab ... provided they promise not actually do anything while there.

if this gets traction, just wait for the public health issue:guns to come under their purview.
