The Cheatin , election fraud Dem party is at war with America , at war with the Constitution, so should this school board domestic terrorist crappola surprise you?

VOTE THESE BA$TARDS OUT in November

With all due respect to FR parents, if parents were making sure that their children were being taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) had intended for those powers to be understood, then their children would be able to explain to NSBA the following major constitutional problem as a consequence of colluding with lawless (imo), alleged election-stealing Biden Administration.

The closest term to Biden Administration politically correct "domestic terrorism" term in the Constitution is "domestic violence" found in Article IV, Section 4 imo. And that section is a big problem for Biden Administration's so-called domestic terrorism imo.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphases added]."

More specifically, the delegates to the Con-Con didn't want the untrusted federal government dreaming up just any excuse to stick its big, unwanted nose in the affairs of the sovereign states. So the delegates made Section 4 to require federal government to stand down to actual INTRAstate domestic violence, unless elected state government leaders formally request assistance from the feds to deal with such violence.

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had explained Section 4 this way.

”§ 1819. It may not be amiss further to observe, (in the language of another commentator,) that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence, is taken away by that part of the provision, which renders an application from the legislature, or executive authority of the state endangered necessary to be made to the general government, before its interference can be at all proper [emphasis added]. On the other hand, this article becomes an immense acquisition of strength, and additional force to the aid of any state government, in case of an internal rebellion, or insurrection against its authority. The southern states, being more peculiarly open to danger from this quarter, ought (he adds) to be particularly tenacious of a constitution, from which they may derive such assistance in the most critical periods.” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, Article 4, Section 4.

In other words, if Trump Administration had likewise unfairly demonized parents by claiming possible violence from parents as excuse to stick its big nose into state affairs, then desperate Democratic-controlled Congress would actually have a good case to impeach Trump under Section 4 imo. (This is not saying that the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate, divided by corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties would find necessary 2/3 majority votes to remove him from office as was the case with his mock impeachments by Democrats.)

Corrections, insights welcome.

The letter was arranged by Chip Slaven, the interim CEO of the NSBA at the time. However, the White House, in the form of White House Senior Adviser Mary Wall, was heavily consulted about the letter during its drafting.

My cynicism leads me to believe White House Senior Adviser Mary Wall
wrote the whole thing and Chip Slaven is getting the credit for writing it.

JMO, YMMV
