“Overthrow the Men Who Pervert the Constitution”
Posted by Common Constitutionalist in 10th Amendment, Constitution | 2 Comments
It's funny that the left can consistently find things that
are clearly not in the Constitution and discount or completely ignore those
things that clearly are in the document.
Decade after decade we've heard the constant drumbeat of the
left exclaiming the separation of church and state that it's the law and we
must take care not to co-mingle religion and the state.
I've read the Constitution many times and can state unequivocally that the separation of church and state is not written nor even implied in the Constitution.
What is clear, to anyone who cares to take a peek, is the separation of powers. That is as plain as the nose on my brother's face.
Yet there doesn't seem to be a separation any longer. There appear to be no branches of government that are separate but equal. Somewhere along the American timeline our constitutional republic has been replaced with some kind of three-class system.
But what about “we the people”? There is no “we the people.” We are merely indentured servants of the State, lower than the low.
Our federal legislative branch, the House and Senate, have become the lower or serf class. They have to answer to the parliamentarian class, the executive branch, who in turn must ultimately bow to the will of the rulers, the judicial branch.
How did we morph into such a society? Easy; from a single Supreme Court decision. It's called judicial review and was set up long ago.

The 1803
decision of the Marshall Court in Marbury v Madison set this country on a path to
judicial tyranny.
The eventuality of that one Supreme
Court decision has effectively nullified the Tenth Amendment — states’ rights — and rendered individual
state constitutions virtually meaningless.
Yet in the Constitution, the supreme
law of the land, a review of Article
III, section 2 nowhere states or implies judicial review of the
Constitution.
Folks (I sound like Bill O'Reilly), the Constitution is
quite simple to understand. It's made to appear complex so that the common man
feels reliant upon “scholars” to explain to us idiots what the founders
“really” meant.
In fact, it was written and enacted for and by the states thus granting states most of the power. It would not have been ratified otherwise.
That is why, unlike today's legislation, it is not at all a lengthy document. It didn't have to be. Any power not specifically enumerated in the Constitution to the federal government reverts back to the states and thus the people. It's really that simple.
Yet we have allowed the Supreme Court to usurp their mandated authority.
Thomas Jefferson wrote of the danger of the court in 1823:

Thomas Jefferson wrote of the danger of the court in 1823:
“At the
establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be
the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however,
soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the
insufficiency of the means provided for the removal gave them a freehold and
irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual
suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these
decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and
little, the foundations of the Constitution, and working its change by
construction, before anyone has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm
has been busily employing in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made
to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.”
Ditto Abraham Lincoln: “We, the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution.”
But with the recent Supreme Court decision nullifying a legally binding California state constitutional amendment on marriage, I've concluded that ship has sailed.
The fix is now in and that decision marks the end of states’ rights and the Tenth Amendment. We will soon be known as the “United Community of America,” a centuries-old progressive dream come true.

You lost me at the first "left".
Answer me this John, are we a Republic or a democracy? Our founders chose a republican form of government in concern for the fallout from issues just like this one. They recognized the tyranny of the majority in squashing the rights of minorities. Choosing who is your mate is an unalienable right endowed by our Creator within the pursuit of happiness. The Supreme Court has been making a hash of our founding documents lately; here, they got it right.
