Certainly you were around when Nixon, Reagan, Papa Bush, Clinton, and Dubyah were doing their best to undermine, invalidate and/or destroy the Constitution and negate the Bill of Rights. Obama is certainly picking up the tempo, but his actions are hardly unprecendented.Lee McGeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-85416258044316552902009-06-30T18:28:25.627-05:002009-06-30T18:28:25.627-05:00Some believe that the Constitution permits treatie...Some believe that the Constitution permits treaties to supersede the Constitution. That belief is not supported by the Constitution however. <br />Here is the relevant Constitutional text:<br />Article VI <br />Sec. 2:<br /><br />This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.<br /><br /><br />Breaking this down we can read that the supreme law of the land is:<br /><br />The Constitution<br />All laws in pursuance of (in accordance with) the Constitution<br /> and<br />All treaties made under the Authority of the United States<br /><br />Since the authority of the United States is clearly defined and limited by the Constitution all treaties made MUST be in accordance with the Constitution.<br /><br />Limitations include but are not limited to the scope of government as presented by the preamble:<br /><br />“Preamble <br />We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”<br /><br />And by the 10th Amendment to the Bill of Rights:<br /><br />“Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. <br />The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”<br /><br />Note that there is no authority whatsoever to subject American citizens to foreign governments or treaties.<br /><br />Further, some are confused by the phrase:<br /><br />… Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.<br /><br />Mistakenly believing that this confers absolute supremacy to treaties is an inaccurate understanding of the text. What is written is that individual state laws or state constitutions may not be used to overrule the Constitution, laws, or treaties made in pursuance of the Constitution. The phrase DOES NOT confer supremacy on treaties.<br /><br /><br />Treaties by nature are agreements between nations. As such they are always external acting and define how each nation shall treat the other nation(s). Treaties cannot be used to circumvent internal laws or constitutions. For example, few would argue that nation A may legitimately enter into a treaty with nation B, whereby nation A agrees to enslave 75% of its citizens if nation B will murder 50% of its citizens. Unfortunately a larger group is somehow convinced that a treaty may permit all types of lesser mayhem upon a populace, that if passed a treaty enables anything. The Constitution simply does not contain this flaw, nor does it permit foreign influence to control US citizens.<br /><br /><br />Please note that the above in no way glosses over the impact of treaties, I only wish to point out that a treaty which would be un-Constitional as a law is as valid as any un-Constitutional law, which is to say that it only has the validity we permit. A treaty has no validity in shaping our laws, and cannot legitimately supercede the Constitution.<br /><br />Impeach the Kenyan bastard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-15448283540841616022009-06-30T11:35:59.093-05:002009-06-30T11:35:59.093-05:00I thought it was a great Op-Ed.

It is often a natural progression, IMHO, from an initial involvement with the NRA to looking more closely at the second amendment issue and then finding themselves drawn more and more to the three per cent circle.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850395662800864408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-3728488428351769012009-06-30T08:44:10.811-05:002009-06-30T08:44:10.811-05:00And when they come here to learn about being a &qu...And when they come here to learn about being a "Threeper", they might want to go to the ordering page at www.ravenswoodenterprises.com and send for a few!<br /><br />Be sure to specify whether you want Woodland or 3 color Desert.<br /><br />$4 each, post paid; USPS Money Order, Cashier's or Certified Checks ship when received; all others wait until the instrument clears; NO credit card or Paypal!<br /><br />Send orders to:<br /><br />Raven's Wood Enterprises, LLC.<br />PO Box 962<br />Birmingham, MI 48012RWE-IIIhttp://www.ravenswoodenterprises.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-32788131270150485462009-06-30T05:59:21.187-05:002009-06-30T05:59:21.187-05:00I agree with much in the article but he lost credi...I agree with much in the article but he lost credibility when he says that joining the nra is one of the solutions.
