there should be a line to the right of him going back to Lincoln

[Looney]

0bama needs “reel gewd” gunk-control ;-)

The never-ending trampling of the Constitution can be put to rest by a simple Constitutional Amendment:

 “Any elected or government official whose action, or a vote to enact a law, is found un-constitutional by the Courts, shall be charged with treason in accordance with the Laws of the United States of America.”

[TeamDepends]

Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.

[Took Red Pill]

Speaking of the POTUS, looks like  

Libertarian Gary Johnson launched a presidential bid as a third party candidate

[Looney]

... Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.
-Marbury vs. Madison

Right, but the Looney Amendment is for punishing those who do something un-constitutional, be it a low-level bureaucrat, a high-level elected official, or anybody in-between.

[KesselRunin12Parsecs]

 "... Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.
-Marbury vs. Madison"

Any law that was enacted AFTER 1871 is null and void because the United States of America is a corporation and you are chattel.

There, fixed it...

[zuuma]

So is Odumbles -- lover of background checks -- ready for HIS background check?

I bet he couldn't buy a gun in real peopleland. prolly be on the no-fly list, too.

Also on lotsa down-fly lists, no doubt.

[wagthetails]

I only wish he made immigrants go through the same background checks he makes Americans. At least be consistent.

[xythras]

Once in office, Trump WILL hold Obomber accountable of all this and more, starting with his fake birth papers. 

Hopefully that will ruin the libtards ponzi scheme and clean some of the political scene.

[N2OJoe]

While I would love to see him hung for Treason too, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for someone to hold BHO accountable for anything.

[MethodMan]

I'm sure the congresscritters will line up to ready an amendment to put themselves to the gallows the very day it ratifies.

Ultimately the only peaceful means to maintain the Republic by limiting federal power will be to for the states to hold a convention under Article 5. Most so-called constititionalists fear the convention will pass amendments that forces them into gay marriage or such stupidity, or go beyond a carefully crafted mandate like "balanced budget only." To that I say bullshit-- the states have to ratify each and every amendment with 3/4 majority. That's 38 states, most of which are "flyover country."

To get there, most of these states have to be completely fed up with federal power to the point where it crosses party lines. Given the current teat-suckling nature of our representatives, a whole lot of things have to go very bad first, or there has to be an incredibly stupid case of ovverreach.

[Zero-Hegemon]

I wouldn't hold much hope for an article 5 convention most people these days even the elite have little to no critical thinking skills to fix all that was broken in the last 100+ years. Easier just to roll back to the Articles of Confederation, if not for the criminal elite

[Cloud9.5]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Constitution.  It was contrived by a group of men who were much smarter than the average citizen.  They understood the danger of mob rule and the consequences of a dictatorship by the majority.  What they did not foresee was the rise of tag team political parties, bureaucratic over reach and the legal contrivance that corporations which are immortal are somehow people.

Open a constitutional convention and the insiders will replace it with something horrific.

[crossroaddemon]

Th constitution established a system of governance. Automatic evil.

Besides, read your history. Those who drafted the constituation envisioned and created a society in which the only enpowered people were wealthy white male landowners.... most others were no better off and often worse than under british rule. The US was an oligarchy right from the word go. Don't believe the propaganda.

[AGuy]

"To get there, most of these states have to be completely fed up with federal power to the point where it crosses party lines. Given the current teat-suckling nature of our representatives"

Unfortunately about 80% of the US population is dependant on the federal gov't (Retirement (present or future), Jobs (gov't, contractor) or weath fare). The Independant american people has gone extinct, wiped out by FSA, gov't regulation and taxation. It will go to 100% dependancy once Single Payer healthcare is enacted. No matter which candidate wins (Hitlary, Colonel Sanders, or Trumped), we get a single payer system since all three of them support it. So no chance the Fed Gov't is going away until it completely collapses.

Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.

[LowerSlowerDela...]

"Libertarian Gary Johnson launches presidential bid"

Cool.  0.01% of the vote for him. What morons contribute to this guy for a 0.01% vote return?

( Never mind... they're stoned.  Duuuuuuuuuude.... )

[azusgm]

Has Gary Johnson ever cleared up his debt from his last campaign? Didn't his campaign take BK?

Probably just looking for another paycheck along with free food and lodging.

[Dixie Rect]

Gary Johson owns pot dispensarys, so he's probably paid off his debt, and looking for more exposure for his 

mary jane agenda.

[krispkritter]

Any President that flouts the Constitution is null and void.

- Smith & Wesson

[Cynicles]

Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.

Yup.

...just tell that to the gov goons next time you deal with them.

[OldTrooper]

True, but I wouldn't cite the case where the SCOTUS invented their power of judicial review.  A bad day for all of us when that decision came down.

[LowerSlowerDela...]

If the courts did their jobs we wouldn't have most of the federal gubmint.  These current courts will put people in jail for wanting the gubmint to abide by the Constitution.  Courts are now mostly political (leftist) bodies.

[crossroaddemon]

Leftist? Do you really believe that bullshit? They are controlled by the international banking mafia same as the executive and representative branches are. In no sense are they anything we associate with leftism.

[LowerSlowerDela...]

Blah, blah, blah...  Your "bullshit" statement is very cute, sweetie.

Yes, the system is run by leftists (republican/democrat/other) who are hell bent on keeping and increasing their government power.  The Fed is central to their methods.

[crossroaddemon]

Government an't got power over shit. Government is OWNED.

[AGuy]

"Leftist? Do you really believe that bullshit? They are controlled by the international banking mafia same as the executive and representative branches are. In no sense are they anything we associate with leftism."

Lefts are collectivists. Bankers are also collectivists, as they want to collect all your money and assets and enslave you with debt!

[crossroaddemon]

I do not consent to be governed. Fuck the constitution.

[Cynicles]

The never-ending trampling of the Constitution can be put to rest by a simple Constitutional Amendment:

You propose an admendment to the Constitution to stop the Gov from ignoring the Constitution??

You have proposed adding onto what is ignored already to get those that ignore it already to stop ignoring it,,,huh??

Sounds quite ignorant if not moronic.

[detached.amusement]

I just took it as an exercise in rhetorical irony

[Repet]

If this were to pass, no courts would ever find any law unconstitutional. The courts are owned, like Congress and the executive. No judge would dare send a President or Senator to prison; everything would get passed. Not sure this is ideal reform.

[The Saint]

Also, a statment added that, "Any lawful citizen shall be considered by all United States courts to have standing when challenging in a court of law any law, ammendment, order or other matter concerning an elected official or action taken by that official."

[Pooper Popper]

FUCK OFF barry!

I will NOT comply,,you muslim anti American fuck!

[crossroaddemon]

You need to redirecty your anger. Why isn't the same vitriol being aimed at his puppetmasters? You're playing into their hands... they WANT you to blame the politicians while they laugh all the way to the fucking bank.

[Xibalba]

And Reagan...pathetic actor. 

[drendebe10]

At least he was a U.S. born citizen and didn't intentionally try to destroy the Constitution, the country, our freedoms, the middle class and America's national standing....

[detached.amusement]

but he sure "straightened up" after they put a bullet in him

[GhostOfDiogenes]

What bullshit.

Another reagan worshipper.

Another RINO nutjob.

[Xibalba]

Ok.  So he was a convincing actor (in your case).  Look objectively rather than through your boomer glasses. 

[o r c k]

He just remembered that flame-throwers were legal.

[MrNosey]

Put it this way, the mafia have nothing on our governments, it's just a question of perceived legality!

More under-reported real news your governments (Mafiosi) would rather you did not see......

So why you post news already old by a day, net.kook? Spammed site should call stalenews.com or something.

The ONE mistake in the Constitution: prohibiting FOREVER private central banks and the printing of "money" as debt at interest by ANYONE but the federal government

[gcjohns1971]

Article 1 section 8:

"To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the
Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin
of the United States;"

Article 1 section 10:

"Section 10
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters
of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but
gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder,
ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any
Title of Nobility."

It wasn't a mistake.   You just have to know how the Constitution was written.  

It was written with EXPLICITLY GRANTED POWERS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT with all not-explicitly granted powers forbidden.   It was written with only EXPLICIT PROHIBITIONS TO THE STATES, with all actions not explicitly forbidden being acceptable.

All powers not explicitly granted were understood to be reserved to the states.

The State Ratification Conventions, however, did not think that the explicit grant of powers was sufficient to communicate the idea that no other powers were given to the US Government.   So they REFUSED RATIFICATION until additional protections were added, including the 10th Amendments which says:

"Amendment 10
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."

So...no one gave the authority to form a private Central bank.  It is explicitly forbidden because it was not explicitly granted.

No one gave the authority to delegate the coining of money (or bills of credit) to that private bank.  The power of delegating Constitutional powers was not given to the new government, and hence was understood as forbidden.

The problem is that progressives have spent the last 100 years establishing government owned-and-directed mandatory schooling whose primary purpose is to teach you not to read it for yourself, or understand the plain language in it...but to believe whatever BS they tell you about it...as though it were a Latin Bible.

[BullyBearish]

During Lincoln's time without a central bank:

 The pragmatic mood in Washington was that a constitution is nice to have in times of peace, but an unaffordable luxury in war. Salmon P. Chase, for example, as Secretary of the Treasury, strongly endorsed the greenbacks which were issued under his direction. They were, in his words, an "indispensable necessity." Eight years later, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he declared that they were unconstitutional. Had he changed his mind? Not at all. When he endorsed them, the nation was at war. When he declared them unconstitutional, it was at peace. It was merely another example of the universal trait of all governments in time of war. That trait was presented in a previous section as the premise of the Rothschild Formula: "The sanctity of its laws, the prosperity of its citizens, and the solvency of its treasury will be quickly sacrificed by any government in its primal act of self-survival."

Finally, the answer to the question, "why are we always at war".  The fed and their politician employees can ignore the constitution in times of war...i.e. the current WAR on Terror!!

[boattrash]

Lincoln would have sent him back. Read Lincoln's writings.

[Temporalist]

It only makes sense that oligarchs have armed security and the little people don't.  Ask Jamie Dimon how much money he has that makes him better than you anyway. 

[Pew Pew Pew]

Seems legit........

https://mises.org/blog/gun-control-obama-looks-reagan-and-bush

"Politicians like Obama, Bush, and Reagan have all decried the problem of gun violence one minute while advocating for more guns in the hands of government and its friends, whether it's selling military surplus to local police, or shipping guns to Central American, Syrian, or Iraqi death squads."

[hxc]

Mises.org is damn legit. Austrian economists and libertarians in general usually are.

[Lumberjack]

Arrogance is the 8th and final sin.  Do not attempt this at home as only idiots who are raised in spoiled wealth do and can do no wrong.
