The oath of office and the solemn pledge taken by guv officials to the Constitution has become totally abused. Great minds created a handbook for a free and successful nation. They swear the oath and proceed to disregard. "So help me God." Not Allah, not Venus, but their Creator. The consequences of disregarding our Constitution and Bill of Rights has caught up with us and realistically we are still a young nation. The henhouse is overran with foxes. The burden We are placing on the shoulders our children and future generations is not only politically reprehensible, it is morally despicable. Do these corrupt politicians think they are going to spend their bribe money in he!!? Congress, Presidents, federal judges and other office holders YOU swore to stand firmly behind the entirety of the documents you are obligated to uphold.
Little known Preamble to the Bill of Rights makes it clear:
"The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers,that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should not be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution."
And "the 10th":
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to States respectively, or to the people."
Hello. Seems We are not following the rule book. Egregiously ignoring I might add. How do our officials explain the widespread circumventing of their solemn oaths? They don't bother to since all they have to do is count on the people's lack of familiarity with the Constitution's provisions and treat it as a relic of the past while We engage in battles of blue and red picking our candidates as we would our genre of music. I may have had a life long infatuation with Kris Kristofferson but that does mean I would want him to be my President. America, We had better wise up, grow up, and stand up. If not, we are going to morph into a third world country while the elites sit back and laugh about the wealth they created from our gullibility and lack of knowledge.
Ok, so back to the 10th. Is anyone besides most assuredly Carriage familiar with the legacy of John Marshall?
