Obama & Holder Destroy the Constitution
I have studied Constitutional Law intensely and I can say with conviction that history will indeed remember Eric Holder and his mentor Obama for much more than merely the top 9 controversial issues everyone writes about. Mr. Holder’s more than five years as the nation’s chief legal officer has been absolutely devastating to the future of the nation and the Rule of Law. This goes far beyond merely the NSA, IRS scandal and the State Department scandals.
Barack Obama ‘s White House has done serious long-term damage to the world economy and the civil rights of every American. Obama and Holder pushed the authority of the executive branch of the federal government far beyond any democratic process. The administrative agencies under the Executive branch have gone well beyond the edge of the Constitution and law in a systemic manner that is truly breath-taking. Unlike previous presidencies where there was just one controversial instance, the Obama-Holder team have embarked on virtually a dictatorship under the pretense of democracy. I do not say this lightly nor as a political partisan.
Everyone who has ever studied law had basic rules that government simply could not go beyond – they just can’t do that! Everyone in the legal community if they spoke freely has now learned that what they took for granted as clear meaning of existing law just no longer applies. Once you undermine the Rule of Law, everything else collapses for in the end game, you cannot even prove you own anything when it is subject to interpretation and discretion.
In 2011, the Obama-Holder tag-team just did what they wanted anyway ignoring the Judiciary regarding off-shore oil drilling. Believe it or not, Federal Judge Martin Feldman found the government in contempt holding: “Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance.” Of course nobody goes to jail for how can you order the Justice Department to put itself in jail for contempt? This is why we need an independently elected Roman Tribune who can prosecute anyone in government and is outside the Executive Branch. We call that a Special Prosecutor to investigate a president – well we need a real elected office of Tribune to secure the Constitution and be able to criminal charge Obama, Holder, or John Boehner .
The Obama-Holder tag-team has effectively made federal legal authority boundless eliminating any restraint upon government as Obama justified the actions of the NSA saying you have to give up liberty to be safe. “I think the American people understand that there are some trade-offs involved,” Obama said when questioned by reporters at a health care event in San Jose, Calif. He also famously said: “It’s important to recognize that you can’t have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience,” he said. “We’re going to have to make some choices as a society. And what I can say is that in evaluating these programs, they make a difference in our capacity to anticipate and prevent possible terrorist activity.”
The question is – safe from whom? Obama stands in history directly in opposition to those who founded this nation. In Belgium Obama clearly stated the struggle between the state and the people. His address in Belgium to the European Youth who are suffering unemployment levels almost three times that of the Great Depression on March 26, 2014obviously demonstrates he knows what he is doing to tear down democracy.
“The belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose. The belief that power is derived from the consent of the governed, and that laws and institutions should be established to protect that understanding. And those ideas eventually inspired a band of colonialists across an ocean, and they wrote them into the founding documents that still guide America today, including the simple truth that all men — and women — are created equal.
“But those ideals have also been tested — here in Europe and around the world. Those ideals have often been threatened by an older, more traditional view of power. This alternative vision argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. …
“And just as we meet our responsibilities as individuals, we must be prepared to meet them as nations. Because we live in a world in which our ideals are going to be challenged again and again by forces that would drag us back into conflict or corruption. We can’t count on others to rise to meet those tests. The policies of your government, the principles of your European Union, will make a critical difference in whether or not the international order that so many generations before you have strived to create continues to move forward, or whether it retreats.”
Obama has stated clearly that he has come full circle. He believes that right must be surrendered to the sovereign government for only it can defend freedom by taking it from the people. This is very strange logic.
The Obama-Holder theory of law has been mind-blowing. Essentially, they stand for the proposition that the needs of justice supersede the law’s boundaries. Obama has effectively stated he will take your rights and money but for a good purpose – government power to protect your right to have rights and money? This is precisely what Thrasymachus warned about and every law professor when confronted with this question would have responded – that is not law. Nevertheless, Obama has stood for the proposition that justice is merely the self-interest of the stronger – government.
Anyone who thinks I am exaggerating this in any possible way should look at what Obama said himself. In July 2011 over the debt ceiling, Obama said publicly that he would like to“bypass Congress and change the laws on my own.” He said this again in June 2014 with respect to immigration reform. This is what one expects from a dictator – not an elected official who pretends to be a Constitutional lawyer. The very next year, Obama then made his unconstitutional recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. Effectively, he bypassed Congress to stuff his own people in positions without the approval of the people. UNHEARD OF! Yet Obama also said back in 2011: ”Sometimes when I talk to immigration advocates, they wish I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself, but that’s not how a democracy works.”
The antics of the Obama-Holder tag-team have displayed the audacity to argue in federal courts what difference does it make? The real curious phase is not only used by Obama-Holder in court, when Hilary testified before Congress regarding the attack if it was a protest of just some guys out for a walk and decided to kill some Americans she too simply replied – what difference does it make? This is not a legal argument in any court under any system of law that I am aware of. It makes a huge difference for even as Hillary tried to dismiss the attack, one is an organized terrorist attack and the other is just a random act of violence.
I am not the only one with a problem here regarding the abuse of power of Obama-Holder. In 2013, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote that the Obama administration’s legal claims raised “significant questions about the scope of the Executive’s authority to disregard federal statutes.”
Obama’s praise of Holder one would think he offhandedly saved the nation. Certainly not from the abuse of government. The legal precedents are shocking and very alarming. These people never get it. Obama expands the reach of the Presidency and the next one comes in and always expands it further. Nobody ever reforms. So unfortunately, we are headed down the creek in a boat that is leaking without a paddle. Our children will never know the world in which we grew up when once upon a time there use to be a friendly face behind every badge.
Ebola Plague? Stupidity is a real epidemic inside government
Stupidity is a real epidemic inside government. Now the man who was on a plane from Liberia with Ebola has finally sparked a thought inside government. A rare event! Someone in the State Department suddenly said: Oh shit! We have to track everyone who was on that plane! Dah! Honestly, what moron cannot figure out that when such a dangerous epidemic appears, the country should be quarantined.
They traced aids to a flight attendant on Air Canada, Gaëtan Dugas, who flew from Africa. If the disease made it to the west by plane, don’t you think these people would shut down all flights? These people cannot protect the world and now the U.S. State Department has ordered 160,000 Hazmat suits. These people who want to seize every phone call could not figure out that you have to shut down all flights since that is the way AIDS spread to the West? Honestly – buy your own Hazmat suit for Christmas/Hanukkah.
Swiss Pension Crisis – It’s Everywhere
This whole idea of socialism has created a system that is way beyond what anyone in their right mind would have created. The Swiss pension system is at risk no different from anyone else. Swiss life insurance companies guarantee one part of the pensions of Swiss workers. Now the Swiss unions have figured this mess out and warn that the system is unsustainable because it is threatened by the low interest environment. For you see, Swiss life insurers have invested about 80% of assets in government bonds. What they do not tell the public is that in the process of the governments directing central banks to keep interests artificially low to stimulate the economy, they are setting the stage for our financial doom. Yes low interest rates reduce the interest expenditures of government so they can spend more elsewhere. However, the dirty little secret is that the Swiss government obligates the Swiss life insurance companies to invest the “majority” of assets into so-called “risk free” government bonds. The duration is now for over 100 years rendering the future insolvency a complete disaster.
The Swiss contrivance of pension funds is not much different from what the US Congress did to the Federal Reserve for World War I. The Fed “stimulated” the economy by buying corporate paper. When WWI started, government directed the Fed to buy its bonds not corporate. Once government alters something, they never put it back. To this day, central banks “stimulate” buy government paper instead of corporate that would directly expand the economy.
Forget it. No matter what evidence I present, we just have to crash and burn before anyone will say – maybe you were right.
