What Rights Do We Have?

Congress enacts these bad laws that violate the Ninth Amendment, but the Judiciary is supposed to overrule laws that violate our Constitution. When they don’t do so then they have failed in their duties and should step down. It will never happen since Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life.

The basic cause of this failure is the packing of the Courts by Right Wing Conservative appointments. Never forget that Conservatives want to be your parent, telling you what to do and what not to do. A contributing factor is the ignorance of most U.S. citizens to understand not only how our system of government works, but what and how our rights were protected by our Founding Fathers.

There is no excuse for this, we each of us must participate in a Civic movement that begins with our young people, and expands to include all citizens, to educate them about our systems and rights.

Without such education the rule of men over the rule of law will continue and it will have a snowball effect, rolling along gaining momentum until we are all living in a Dictatorship.

We can’t pick and chose what we want to use in the Constitution, we must abide by those laws now explicitly expressed in that document, and make intelligent additions where and when necessary to protect our rights.

I will make a bargain with the Republicans. If they will stop telling lies about Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them. - (more...)
