Many patriots are rejoicing over the “Obama Care” victory in the form of a federal District Court ruling in Virginia allowing the case to continue at least on some issues. This only shows how ignorant so many in the Liberty Movement really are and why we have supporting groups and organization that are so financially successful when they are contributing to the erosion of our personal liberties.

The “Obama Care” actions are unconstitutional. Read Article III § 2 clause 2 and tell me if these suits, and the federal suit against Arizona, complies with the Constitution. Read the jurisdictional statements in all these law suits and tell me if the statutes cited, 28 USC §§1331, 1345, comply with the Constitution. They clearly do not. By the states filing these actions in federal District Courts they are not only conceding Constitutional rights but are conceding part of their sovereign status. I would rather have “Obama Care”.

Last year many of you lauded the Supreme Court opinion in which Justice Scalia said the 2nd Amendment (right to firearms) applied to the states by the 14th Amendment. It had been declared the year before to be a personal right not a collective right. Was that a great victory? He also in essence said that our ownership and possession of such could be regulated. What about the phrase “shall not be infringed” did Scalia and you fellow patriots not understand? If you can “regulate” a right it is not really a right but a privilege. The initial case was not even in print before Washington D.C. had declared new regulations on firearms ownership. The NRA declared both of these cases a great victory.

Many people are justly concerned that the federal government is trying to disarm us citizens. Yet they do not understand that the federal government has already disarmed the states.

The Supreme Court has held that the militia clauses of the Constitution were temporary rights that were circumscribed by the war powers of the federal government and not only could be subsumed by the federal government but they have been so subsumed.* While many think the National Guard is the state militia, it is not.

The federal government now has a dual enlistment program such that the state guard is virtually under the constant control of the federal government. The criteria for calling forth and the use for which the state militia are no longer applicable and the federal government can call the militia up at any time and ship them anywhere for training etc., not constitutionally of course but by the edict of Congress and the Supreme Court. ** (This was another unanswered attack on state sovereignty.)

Personally I would give up all the “Constitutional Rights” for the undelegated rights of the States which of course include the Bill of Rights.

Patriots you need to dig into the Constitution and get a firm understanding of it so you know when its time to cheer and when it’s time to boo!
