This is an excerpted article from the Aware Group. The article is a long read - and very well worth the time. Personally, I've been curious why it is that the Clintons and others have not been punished for their obvious crimes against the nation. We, as conservative Americans tend to place the Constitution at the top of the Federal Government. After all, that is the cage that was supposedly built for it by the founders. When the Constitution is not followed - often tread upon blatantly - we get angry. How can something we hold so dear be treated like this? Well, after reading this article you will understand far more about this. There is another article at this source that also should be read - about the bankruptcy of The United States back in the 1930s. That is when our Constitution was changed, and we all became virtual slaves. Thanks again go to the Democrats for that little maneuver - FDR in particular. Our nation was sold out by the commies back then, just as the DemonRats are trying to do today.

It's an outstanding resource.

Calling these groups "patriots" is a bit of a stretch. Kooks is more like it.

Excellent analogy. I am going to start using it.

Where did the Constitution Go?

Since the actual document was removed from display on July 5th, 2001, I have become more curious about the abuses to it. There is a short explanation on a gov site that says it has been removed for "display area remodeling purposes". hmm

But then, he found out about the yellow fringe on the flag!.

That explained everything.

Interesting. I am no lawyer, and logic-chopping is not a fun game.

I think somebody who used these 'techniques' might find himself in the Greybar Hotel.

I just read the opinion written by Justice Brandeis and all it said was,

"There is no federal general common law. This “general law” disregarded practically all local and state law. There is no clause in the constitution giving federal courts this power. If a federal court hears a case dealing with purely state issues, it must use applicable state law in making its decision. It cannot arbitrarily apply any law it chooses."

This is a good decision. It affirms the 10th amendment.

It says that "unwritten" common or general law cannot be used by federal courts in making their decisions.

Federal courts "must use applicable state law in making its decision."

I do not know about you but I do not want to deal with "unwritten" common or general law when I am in court.

That would be the equivalent of being struck by a bolt of lightning on a clear day.

If you take the time to read the decision of Erie RR v Tompkins, you will understand how the use of unwritten common or general law was arbitrary, illogical, and ultimately capricious in its application.

This doctrine used by the federal courts for 100 years was a use of power that was never conferred on the federal courts by the Constitution. This decision actually took a lot of power out of the federal judiciary.

I do not understand the leap that some people are making that we are now under the jurisdiction of Merchant, Commercial, or Admirality law when we are in federal court and not under the jurisdicition enumerated in the Constitution in matters of federal jurisdiction.

This article is so full of whole is ain;t funny. It reads as such, "There is a conspiracy...but you'll just have to trus me on that." Having delt with law, and am currently dealing with law, I can openly say that all laws are published for the masses to read. All cases are decided on open law, bnot some backroom discussion that happened 75 years ago. I know a number of judges and lawyers, and none of them have had such conversations.

Total unmitigated BS. The common law is alive and well.

I hope this guy has a Sam's Club membership. That way he can get the tin foil he needs so much of by the case, cheap.
