Trump Foments Fear

Do you really think so or could that just be an emotional response to hearing something you do not want to hear? Let’s start with this, no one in the world has the Intel on that “Caravan” than the President of the United States, nice name for a phalanx of people marching el norte and planning to breech our border, OUR BORDER. Disabuse yourself of any other notion. The press doesn’t know squat.
Let’s take a look at what he has been saying about an Executive Order [EO] to force the courts to rule on the 14th Amendment. Take a look at the education he has been giving the masses on the 14th Amendment. If you understand what he has been saying and have been viewing my posts on the 14 A, you might consider it information the American public needs to discern just what this is all about. It is about a Constitution of a Sovereign Nation, the very basis of this Republic and it is the one single factor that distinguishes US from all others. Think for a moment about the blood spilled in the name of that Constitution, rather than some emotional response to our perceived “values”. That Constitution IS our values.
I am quite familiar with our Constitution, including the 14 A. I am familiar with how real Supreme Court Justices are supposed to rule on such, including but not limited to determining “Congressional Intent” of each piece, part and parcel, of the Constitution, word for word. That Congressional Intent is readily available to each justice. We now have 5 who actually do what they are supposed to do, rather than wetting their finger and testing the winds of feelings ruminating in the air. That just ain’t how it’s done, although it has been done for 150 years of spurious case law. That is over and you might as well forget about it.
The American public, of all ages, need to understand the Constitution, why we have it and why we must adhere to it. It will be very clear to you when you do that we are not a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic, comprised of 50 Republics, guaranteed in said Constitution. The only piece of our Republic designed to be Democratic is the election of Members of Congress. It was not until the term of President Wilson that we even elected the US Senate, when the 17th Amendment was ratified, April 8, 1913. Big mistake and my hope is that it is Repealed, the sooner the better. Previous to that, US Senators were appointed by their respective State Legislatures, beholden to the State, not democratically elected by popular vote. We elect Presidents by the Electoral Process. The President appoints Supreme Court Justices, with the Advice and Consent of the Senate. THAT is your government, Articles I-III.
The only functions provided to Congress are spelled out, one my one, in Article I, Section 8. Period! All else is left to the States and to the People, as defined in Amendments IX and X. That is the extent and power relegated to the Federal Government. The Constitution set this system up so that the States and the Federal Government are Co-equal, neither having dominion over the other. There is no such thing as “Federal Supremacy”, other than with what is specifically stated in Article I, Section 8. Checkmate. It is the function of the Supreme Court of the US [SCOTUS] to make certain that this balance is maintained and further, to make certain the functions of government are maintained as the Framers intended—they are to determine the meaning and intent in any case, with precedent taking a very minimal role and only when that precedent follows that meaning and intent, expressed by the Framers.
Madison’s Notes have all they need to determine Congressional Intent. They are to look to that for guidance. In case you are wondering, I did not have to refer to the Constitution, my notes or Madison’s Notes to reduce this to writing. It is in my head because I took the time to learn what my forbears fought to maintain, what was so important to them and their predecessors. That is what made it important to me.
It is not fear we are selling, it is a sorely needed education. If you would really like to understand Amendment XIV and Congressional Intent:
If you would truly like to understand the intent of the proposed Executive Order:
Otherwise, just stick with the ever emotional response of “Fear”, after all that takes zero energy, zero knowledge and zero understanding.
