ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: Red States must nullify Biden's nullification of the constitution
The Blaze ^ | 2/1/21 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 02/01/2021 5:00:42 PM PST by chiller

Given Joe Biden’s affinity for firing off executive orders as fast as they’re shoved in front of him — along with accompanying index cards that he’s supposed to read aloud so both he and the rest of us can know what he’s signing — the question of “constitutional” — or the lack thereof — is increasingly under debate, and with good reason.

“{The Constitution? Is there such a thing in America today{”?

There seems to be great doubt as to the fidelity to that document. Once again, we have allowed a person who is NOT an Article II eligible natural born citizen, born with 2, count them TWO citizenships at birth, in addition to her 14th amendment US citizenship, to take the oath of office to the executive branch with nary a peep of protest or request for an adjudication into the matter of her Article II eligibility from ANY leadership in the GOP.

No doubt about the very real likelihood of a post-constitutional US.

The executive fiat festival will become crushed under its own foolishness. I consider what he is doing as being a favor. Funding that shite will bottleneck the legislative calender like tar in January.

Could they add more than two states? Where besides Puerto Rico and DC? The Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam? Could Midway Island be its own state?

"Could they add more than two states? Where besides Puerto Rico and DC? The Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam? Could Midway Island be its own state?"

Yes, they could.

And all it would take is congress to pass it and xiden to sign it. Done. It's a near certainty they will make D.C. a state and probably better than 80% they will make P.R. another.

For those saying [quote]"D.C."[unquote] could not become a state as well as other questions, it's all documented in that section of that post.
Also explains why and how they could also make U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam the 53rd and 54th states and why they would leave The Northern Mariana Islands & American Samoa out.

The only people who can stop any of that...is the (D)'s themselves.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), hereby declare that the national emergency declared by Proclamation 9844, and continued on February 13, 2020 (85 Fed. Reg. 8715), and January 15, 2021, is terminated and that the authorities invoked in that proclamation will no longer be used to construct a wall at the southern border. I hereby further direct as follows:

Proclamation on the Termination Of Emergency With Respect To The Southern Border Of The United States And Redirection Of Funds Diverted To Border Wall Construction 
JANUARY 20, 2021 • PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS

Section 1. Pause in Construction and Obligation of Funds. (a) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, shall direct the appropriate officials within their respective departments to:

(i) pause work on each construction project on the southern border wall, to the extent permitted by law, as soon as possible but in no case later than seven days from the date of this proclamation, to permit:

(A) assessment of the legality of the funding and contracting methods used to construct the wall;

(B) assessment of the administrative and contractual consequences of ceasing each wall construction project; and

(C) completion and implementation of the plan developed in accordance with section 2 of this proclamation;

(ii) pause immediately the obligation of funds related to construction of the southern border wall, to the extent permitted by law; and

(iii) compile detailed information on all southern border wall construction contracts, the completion status of each wall construction project, and the funds used for wall construction since February 15, 2019, including directly appropriated funds and funds drawn from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund (31 U.S.C. 9705(g)(4)(B)), the Department of Defense Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities account (10 U.S.C. 284), and the Department of Defense Military Construction account (pursuant to the emergency authorities in 10 U.S.C. 2808(a) and 33 U.S.C. 2293(a)).

(b) The pause directed in subsection (a)(i) of this section shall apply to wall projects funded by redirected funds as well as wall projects funded by direct appropriations. The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security may make an exception to the pause, however, for urgent measures needed to avert immediate physical dangers or where an exception is required to ensure that funds appropriated by the Congress fulfill their intended purpose.

Sec. 2. Plan for Redirecting Funding and Repurposing Contracts. The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies, and in consultation with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, shall develop a plan for the redirection of funds concerning the southern border wall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law. The process of developing the plan shall include consideration of terminating or repurposing contracts with private contractors engaged in wall construction, while providing for the expenditure of any funds that the Congress expressly appropriated for wall construction, consistent with their appropriated purpose. The plan shall be developed within 60 days from the date of this proclamation. After the plan is developed, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all appropriate steps to resume, modify, or terminate projects and to otherwise implement the plan.

Sec. 3. Definition. Consistent with Executive Order 13767 of January 25, 2017 (Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements), for the purposes of this proclamation, “wall” means a contiguous, physical wall or other similarly secure, contiguous, and impassable physical barrier.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This proclamation shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Good piece.

The CDC has no authority to do this, and it can and should be ignored. In their decree, they cite a federal statute (actually two). Well I read the statute, and it says they can do certain stuff for travel BETWEEN states, but nowhere nin it says “within” states, as that would be unconstitutional.

And is.

They just Usurped power they don’t have. And it can’t be enforced. Although they will try, and courts will declare invalid.

I know everybody disagrees with polls that don’t way what they want to hear, but according to a yahoo/you.gov poll, a majority of Americans agree with much of what Biden has doe so far. Even if that is remotely true, this is not the same USA that once was. As Rush said, there was widespread cheating in the election, but that doesn’t alter the fact that millions of people voted for Biden. That should scare all of us.

The Kenyan-Indonesian puppetmaster has UNCONSTUTIONALLY and IILLEGALLY taken control of the puppet strings.
The JoeBama REGIME needs to be ousted and loaded on a tramp steamer to Gitmo.

Our 31 R run states are the answer to the Obama/Biden/Harris coup. Ds challenged every Trump order. It's time for payback. This is how we survive until mid-terms, by which time election laws must be cleaned up to allow a legitimate election.

We need 34 legislatures to call for a constitutional convention to propose constitutional amendments and 38 to ratify them. If we have that, they can all go to hell.

Democrat states outright ignored federal immigration laws, so Republican run states can ignore biden’s executive orders.
