Surrender

Or fight

Die

I’d rather go meekly to the delousing showers than ask tyrants for permission to sue the tyrant.

Stop.🛑

🤣

The Supreme Court addressed slavery and we got a civil war

The Supreme Court addressed Jim Crow 🐦‍⬛ and we got 100 years of jim crow

The Supreme Court changed its Holy Minds and we got affirmative action

And abortions

Gay marriage

STOP 🛑 🤣

in my defense I’m really only trying to call attention to the absurdity of it/belabor the importance of Constitutional Gnosis.

You’re very correct in a Republic every citizen has responsibility.

"Reasonably forseeable" is doing a hell of a lot of work in this justification for the military to assassinate Americans.

As if there was not already enough evidence that bureacrats should not have the ability to make laws.

Well, FDR is long dead but his ilk have proliferated and metastisized.

This violates the posse comitatus act, which IS current law, and an exception to that act, the insurrection act.

That seems obvious to us, but if COVID taught me anything its that the power of motivated reasoning and confirmation bias is not to be underestimated.

Yes, and the entirety of the legal justification for all such proclamations of the addministrative state is the thin line about the president being the commander in chief. Written by idealistic fools who could never imagine the new country having a standing army or a national police force.

🤣How long before SCOTUS addresses this issue?🤣

SIR STOP SIR 🤣🤣

Listen: we’re just a regular country now.

I’d rather die than ask a lawyer to help on this, really.

Courts don't, won't, and never have stopped tyranny -- anywhere. The courts are one of the last things to go before the big push to complete the tyrannical control loop.

I know you know that. But others might still be holding out hope.

There's nobody coming to save us. People have to stop playing this game, and refuse to budge. Otherwise, this doesn't end well for anybody.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about taking up arms. I'm talking about NOT playing along with the crazy-ass power structure. COVID was the best example. The level of nonsense that went on in the name of public health can never again be allowed. That starts with people not going along in the first place. Once enough people stop buying the nonsense, the control system begins to collapse.

If you can run a stop sign, you can say no to nonsense government encroachment as well. That's my new saying... 😉👉

But reality encroaches.

As far as arms

Well

The disclaimer unnecessary

The world does

Not 'From paragraph 3.3.a(1)(c)' but 'From paragraph 3.3.a(2)(c)'

Wrong sub-sub-para typo.

It is ON.

There is no coming back from this.

Funny how they always have to telegraph their punches, always have to let people in on what they are doing.

They have a plan. This permission slip is part of their plan. In short, they WILL install Harris. They will go ahead with their efforts to destroy the remnants of the old Constitutional Republic and finish the enslavement of America.

Expect hijinks.

Know that what you say online can now get you killed.

Take appropriate steps.

The only proper response to this is to shoot first and take their weapons and ammunition.

That’s what I was thinking too. But if air reinforcements is called in, guess it won’t matter

Framing the MSM as a "democratic institution" is a stretch, but the law is whatever the rulers say it is at the moment.

This is normal history

Also normal laws

If the rulers say 2+2=5 does that make it so? I’d say that it doesn’t.

Unlike math, which can be independently determined, there is no such thing as law. There is only context.

I see a rejection of natural law as more compatible with your rejection of Constructivism, but I understand where you’re coming from. I think math exists to the same extent that natural law exists (either both are constructs or they have qualities that can be objectively defined). I believe the latter so that is the perspective you’re getting when I reference law.

Neither the Constitution nor law as a practical matter have anything to do with natural law, unless you are claiming that natural law dictates that a person be counted as 3/5 of a person - but only some people and only sometimes.

I see the Constitution as broadly compatible with natural law. Regarding 3/5 rule I think Lysander Spooner had the right of it in The Unconstitutionality of Slavery.

Expand full comment

"I see the Constitution as broadly compatible with natural law." Well, that settles it, I guess. The 3/5 rule is simply one example of the absurdities that come from trying to pretend that the law that is is the law that should be.

Even if the Constitution or any other law were to have dropped from the heavens (it didn't and they didn't) - none of them are self executing.

Quote Bible verses at an armed robber and see what happens. He already knows that Thou Shalt Not Steal Hold a .357 Magnum to that robber's head and he will be the one to quote Scripture, and he will not care whether you have the legal right to pull the trigger or not.

We're at that point in time that the 2 amendment was written for. When the government won't uphold the Constitution, it becomes our duty to do it.
