The Constitution
states
These Twelve Words ",with such exceptions and under
such regulations as the Congress shall make."
Article
III, Section
2 (2) of the
United States Constitution says, "In
all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and
those in which a State shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original
jurisdiction. In
all the other cases before mentioned the supreme Court shall have appellate
jurisdiction, both
as to law and fact, with
such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make."
I am not an English language expert, but those twelve words are pretty plain.
the United States Constitution
gives
the United States Congress
the Authority
to Overrule the Supreme Court
Our Congressmen would like us to think that they are powerless to do any thing about many of our problems, because the Supreme Court has or may rule our laws Unconstitutional. Bull! That is their convenient way of putting off tough decisions. Blame it on the Court.
Congress has the authority to tell the Court when to step aside; legislation is to stand as legislated, with out court interference.
The Supreme Court is not Infallible
The Supreme Court has over ruled its self (earlier decisions) 147 times, therefore, we know that on at least 147 occasions it ruled wrongly. Either the original decision was unconstitutional or the over rule was unconstitutional; they can't both be right.
is
Creating Legislation
from the Bench
The court has shown its ability to take plain language and "interpret" it so as to achieve the opposite of our Founding Father's intended result and in effect to do precisely what it wants to do.
We, are not paying attention
Is
it because "we the people"
are not too overly bright
that
our government is allowed to do just about any thing it wishes
or
is it that we just don't pay attention?
The Republicans and Democrats
in Congress
would sooner sit back
and point fingers
at the Court
and the President
than make the hard decisions,
truly Representing Us
It's safer for them at re-election time if they aren't blamed for unpopular legislation.
Congress prefers to leave the president and the court with a free hand, reserving the right at all times to blame them if such a tactic fits the mood of the electorate.
We the people
buy into that
and don't demand
that they do their jobs
How many more
Roe Versus Wade
type Decisions
will it take?
When will we Say
"Enough is Enough"
The
United States Congress is not capable of reaching a consensus of most problems
because
most problems are local in nature and require
local solutions,
That's
why our Founding Fathers chose to limit the
duties of the federal government when writing
the constitution.
When
will we switch our loyalty
to
a Constitutionally Focussed Party?
If we continue to support the two major parties
who have taken us to where we are,
I fear for our future.
I call on good Citizens
the rich and the poor,
the strong and the weak,
from our smallest towns,
to our largest cities,
all of us living in Pennsylvania
and out of Pennsylvania
to change your party affiliation;
become a member of a Constitutionally focussed third Party;
become a principled candidate
for Local office,
for County office,
for State office,
for National office;
You don't want to become a candidate?
You can still help!
work to help elect
principled Constitutionally focussed third party candidates;
help pass out literature
help man polling places on election day
help by making phone calls
vote for
Principled candidates.
Constitutional
Statement of Principles
We recognize and affirm the God-given dignity of the individual and believe that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Pennsylvania Declaration of Rights most clearly articulate this basic principle. To restore and preserve that fundamental human dignity, we proclaim:
That every individual has a paramount right to life from conception until natural death and the government shall not infringe upon that right.
That the right of citizens to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and others shall not be questioned.
That the freedom to own, use, exchange, control, protect, and freely dispose of property and other assets is an inseparable extension of the individual's inalienable rights.
That the primary unit of society is the family (persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption) and it must be accorded all rights and responsibilities to direct care of its members, particularly in the areas of education, health care, discipline, and the upbringing of children without government interference.
That the United States of America is a sovereign nation and therefore must maintain control over its own affairs.
That guided by Divine Providence, our Founding Fathers established this nation on Isrealite-Christian principles and therefore the right to the free exercise of religious beliefs is inviolate.
That our government is one of limited, delegated powers operating as a republic within the confines of the Constitution of the United States of America. The federal government derives its authority from its sovereign citizens and it is to be their servant, not their master.
...Preserve, Protect, and Defend
Our Constitution
