Let’s Give Up on the Constitution

Ed said...: He appears to advocate Cafeteria Constitutionalism - follow what you agree with and ignore the rest. Because, wink. wink, nudge, nudge... it has been done before and those that did got away with it.

I agree with it, so long as he agrees that I am the one who will decide what is followed and what is not, not him. I promise to be a benevolent, if at times ignorant, dictator. I can be sure that he approves of this plan. After all, that is what others have done before, and got away with.; December 31, 2012 at 12:50 PM

He's going to be screaming a different tune very, very soon. I chose "screaming" deliberately.; December 31, 2012 at 2:52 PM

1. gun bans;

2. ammo bans;

3. CCW bans;

4. the detention of citizens by the military;

4. Obamacare; and

5. baby killing.

Replace it with the document that was supposed to have been ratified in 1787 before the Washington-led coup which created our federal monster.

Which document? The Articles of Confederation.; December 31, 2012 at 6:44 PM
Gunny G said...: This clown is an OBAMA supporter to the tune of $4800.00 (2008/12). ALWAYS follow the money (Open Secrets) to find the man behind the curtain. NATURALLY, like his massa Obama, he wants the Constitution gone so that he, as a useful idiot, and the Ruling Class can rule us. He should study history and useful idiots.

His email is: seidman@law.georgetown.edu

For anyone who wants to debate this moron.; December 31, 2012 at 7:00 PM
Happy D said...: If you think the Progs get away with stealing your freedom under the Constitution Mr. militialaw. You need to read The Articles of Confederation and ask what they would pull under that system.

Anonymous said...: Three times in my life I swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC!!! By his own words this "sophomore" (literally "wise fool") has revealed himself as an enemy of the constitution. His piece shows him to be not only an enemy of the Constitution but of every document limiting the power of government all the way back to the Magna Charta. This person is an enemy of the very concept of "rule of law" vs "rule of men".

Clearly he fails to understand that trusting in the unfettered (by charter or constitution) rule of men is all well and good - WHEN THE FACTION IN POWER AGREES WITH YOU!!!! I suspect he would sing a far different tune if progressives like him were languishing in the cold out of power. I'd wager nearly anything I have that were his faction out of power he would be one of the loudest voices calling for the people in power to honor the Constitution. I dare say that if Harry Reid decides to exercise the "nuclear option" vis a vis filibusters, he - or a succeeding Senate Dhimmicrat leader - will rue the day Reid did that. Should the pendulum swing and the GOP regain control of the Senate, then it would be the Dhimmicrats who would have no voice. I can hear their howls now.

Payback is a stone bitch.; January 1, 2013 at 5:39 PM
Paul X said...: I don't have much use for the Constitution since it was implemented in a coup d'etat by lowlifes like Hamilton, and because "social contract" theories are nonsense; but I have written an article suggesting that Constitutionalists and Constitution doubters can probably work together:

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
