It is the thesis of this monumentally argued book that the United States Supreme Court - largely through abuses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, has embarked on "a continuing revision of the Constitution, under the guise of interpretation." Consequently, the Court has subverted America's democratic institutions and wreaked havoc upon Americans' social and political lives. One of the first constitutional scholars to question the rise of judicial activism in modern times, Raoul Berger points out that "the Supreme Court is not empowered to rewrite the Constitution, that in its transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment it has demonstrably done...

This provision Democrats specifically wrote into the American Rescue Plan pushes a blurred vision of ‘social equity’ by providing relief for farmers based on the color of their skin. Last week, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act into law. The bill, comprised of $1.9 trillion in the name of “COVID relief,” received no support from Republicans in the House or Senate, and it’s not hard to see why. The legislation includes carveouts for dozens of leftist priorities, including a bridge in Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s New York and a tunnel in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Silicon...

McConnell and the GOP elites (GOPe) worked against President Trump for years preventing him from passing his wildly popular agenda to protect America, its workers, and its citizens. McConnell did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the election.” He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” And then Mitch McConnell suggested that President Trump can still be charged in...

With the result of the second impeachment charade a forgone conclusion in Washington, let us now turn to the final partisan tool remaining in Democrats’ torture closet: The 14th Amendment. This amendment allows Congress to banish from future federal office any current or former politician deemed by congress to have “engaged in insurrection.” Its adoption after the Civil War was designed to prevent officers or political leaders of the Confederate regime from being elected to Congress or the presidency.

Below is my column in the Hill on the new push to bar former President Donald Trump under the 14th Amendment in a censure resolution. Various commentators and groups have called for dozens of Republican politicians to be barred from office in the same way, including a “how to guide” for “disqualifying insurrectionists and rebels” under the 14th Amendment. Some have even added a call to put the entire Republican Party on a Domestic Terror list. Rage again has overwhelmed reason. The suggested use of the 14th Amendment raises serious constitutional concerns and could present a compelling basis for a...

A censure effort led by U.S. Sen. Susan Collins would bar former President Donald Trump from holding the office again while avoiding an impeachment trial, a Democrat drafting it with her said on Wednesday. The proposal from Collins and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, was criticized by some as toothless after it was first reported by Axios on Tuesday. But it was fleshed out in interviews over the course of Wednesday in which Democrats pitched the effort as a bid to disqualify the president from running again — perhaps without a trial. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, told reporters in Washington that...

Democrats in the U.S. Senate are publicly speculating on whether or not they can utilize the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to bar former President Trump from ever holding public office again. The 14th Amendment, passed in the wake of the Civil War, in part directs that no individual may hold any public office in the country if he or she “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the U.S. after taking an oath of office in support of the Constitution. Democrats in Congress have claimed that President Trump’s fiery rhetoric at a Jan. 6 rally in Washington...

President-elect Joe Biden says his priorities to grow businesses will only be for some Americans, not all Americans. “Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American owned small businesses, women-owned businesses, and finally having equal access to resources needed to reopen and rebuild,” the vice president said. What about white men who own small businesses? Will they be left to fend for themselves? Why is the president-elect judging small business owners by the color of their skin? Watch the full video below.

Path to election Nullification: "Dominion" SoftwarePlus the 14th Amendment For U.S. Citizens, there is no clearer or more sacred expression of the "Equal Protection Under Law" clause of our Constitution's 14th Amendment than the individual Citizen's vote -- commonly expressed as, "One Person; One Vote". Use of "Dominion" Software for tallying or "tabulating" votes will be shown to be a de facto violation of "One Person; One vote." Each individual's single vote is indivisible-- an integer, a whole number equal to one. Nor can any voter divide their vote between two choices; the entire unit vote must be devoted to...

The State of Oregon continues to defend a state program that distributes federal coronavirus relief funds to black people only — after two separate lawsuits challenged the program as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. The Oregon state legislature created the Oregon Cares Fund this summer — with nightly Black Lives Matter riots raging in Portland — to allocate $62 million in funds from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to black residents (out of $200 million in total funds). The Oregon Cares Fund website states: "The Fund is a targeted investment in the Black community...

Facebook has updated its hate speech algorithm, reversing years of neutrality to prioritize anti-black comments while making anti-white slurs the lowest priority. The tech giant’s new system for detecting hate speech, known internally as the WoW Project, will automatically delete hateful language directed at the LGBTQ community, Jews, Muslims and African Americans — which has been dubbed by Facebook engineers as the “worst of the worst,” the Washington Post reported. The company will now begin scoring hate speech and offensive posts, and remarks about “men,” “whites” and “Americans” will be marked “low sensitivity,” the report said.

Facebook is embarking on a major overhaul of its algorithms that detect hate speech, according to internal documents, reversing years of so-called “race-blind” practices. Those practices resulted in the company being more vigilant about removing slurs lobbed against White users while flagging and deleting innocuous posts by people of color on the platform. The overhaul, which is known as the WoW Project and is in its early stages, involves re-engineering Facebook’s automated moderation systems to get better at detecting and automatically deleting hateful language that is considered “the worst of the worst,” according to internal documents describing the project obtained...

The panel affirmed in part and reversed in part the district court’s summary judgment in an action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging, in part, that law enforcement officials violated plaintiff’s Fourteenth Amendment due process rights when they seized and destroyed a portion of his firearms collection. Officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (“LAPD”) executed a search warrant and seized plaintiff’s collection of over 400 firearms. Plaintiff spent the next decade trying to recover the collection, asserting he owned the firearms lawfully. The LAPD voluntarily returned approximately eighty firearms, but kept the rest because, in its determination,...

Bail is now set at $2 million for Kyle Rittenhouse who is accused of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during Jacob Blake riots in Kenosha. A Wisconsin court commissioner on Monday afternoon set the bail at the first hearing since Lake County sheriff’s deputies handed off the Antioch teen to Kenosha County officers Friday afternoon, Chicago Tribune reported. Rittenhouse's transfer came immediately after a Lake County judge rejected his defense team's efforts to block his extradition from Illinois to Wisconsin. His lawyers voiced concerns for the 17-year-old's safety in an adult lockup, but the Kenosha County Sheriff’s...

(Sep. 19, 2020) — On Friday night the Twitter account @kamalakancel posted images of what it said were four documents appearing to show the immigration history of Shayamala Gopalan Harris, the mother of Democratic vice-presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris. To date, Kamala Harris has not responded to questions about her parents’ citizenship status when she was born in Oakland, CA on October 20, 1964 and, more broadly, whether or not she qualifies to serve as a “natural born Citizen.” Some interpret the Article II, Section 1, clause 5 requirement for the president and commander-in-chief to signify a...

From the Video: BTW. FAST forward to 1:00 There was a trap placed in the 14th Amendment which reanimates during times of rebellion in order to prevent another Civil War. Sec 2 strips voting rights and the ability to be counted towards the Census for those involved in the rebellion. Hence, if a rebellion large enough, a State could stand to lose Congressional Seats.

Video from Portland Sunday night shows a man being set upon by a mob of Antifa and Black Lives Matter terrorists who accused him of trying to run over protesters blocking a city street. The man’s pickup truck is seen crashed on the curb while the mob attacks him and forces him to sit in the street while they search his belongings. Punches are thrown at the man as he sits. At one point a terrorist walks up and kicks the man in the head, knocking him out cold. No police are seen but a terrorist wearing a shirt with...
