One of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon Americans at the time of its telling and which is still trumpeted to this very day is the notion that the U.S. Constitution contains within its framework mechanisms which limit its power. The “separation of powers,” where power is distributed among the three branches – legislative, executive, judicial – is supposedly the primary check on the federal government’s aggrandizement.
This sacred held tenet of American political history has once again been disproved.
Last Friday (October 23), the Attorney General’s office announced that it was “closing our investigation and will not seek any criminal charges” against former Internal Revenue Service’s director of Exempt Organizations, Lois Lerner, or, for that matter, anyone else from the agency over whether they improperly targeted Tea Party members, populists, or any other groups, which voiced anti-government sentiments or views.

Well said.
The Constitution is merely ink on paper. By itself it is nothing, it is powerless, it is a waste of words. What the Constitution actually is would be a framework used to create and run a government. By following that framework government is restrained
ReplyDeleteand limited in power. But unless people with guns stand up to those who comprise the government and KILL THEM when they exceed the scope of their authority under that document it is worthless. America has not followed the Constitution since Lincoln
butchered it. For this country to return to the form intended and described by that piece of paper tens of thousands if not more are going to have to die.....including virtually EVERYONE who is part of the federal government.
