Our Constitutional Republic
Congress shall obey the supreme Law of the Land
My father was proud to be an American. He instilled that same pride in me, backed by a very simple philosophy. Honest people don’t lie, not because others will know, not even because God will know, but because you will know. And for me, the honor of being an honest man, being an American, begins and ends with that simple statement.
Why don’t Americans insist on the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth from our politicians like we do from each other? The truth is that an American election is typically a choice between candidates that don’t tell the whole truth. Choosing between liars is like playing pin the tail on the donkey, and one third of Americans choose not to play. So there is never really a choice of the people.
Wealthy politicians want you to believe America is a democracy. The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic. This is clear from the two defining facts about America. First, the Constitution is the supreme Law of the Land. And second, every member of the government pledges an oath to support the Constitution. Read it for yourself, the second and third paragraphs of Article VI of the Constitution state both these facts very clearly.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump placed his hand on the Bible and pledged to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.” The Electoral College had chosen Trump to be President, even though he did not win the election. Four years later, on January 6, 2021, President Trump violated his oath, pledged before God, to defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
There are only four Constitutional requirements for a person to be the President of the United States.
The person must be a natural-born citizen.
The person must be 35 years of age.
The person must have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.
The person must not have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States after having taken an oath to support it.
The first three requirements come from Article II of the Constitution, the fourth one is from Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The Judges in every State shall be bound by the supreme Law of the Land, and they, along with the justices of the supreme Court, are bound by an oath, pledged before God, to support the Constitution. The courts of the State of Colorado obeyed their Constitutional duty, their oath before God. The justices of the supreme Court of the United States of America did not.
The Colorado case was between private parties, so the supreme Court had appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact. Since there is no mention of a State’s requirements to be on their primary ballot in any component of the supreme Law of the Land, the only law to be considered is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The supreme Court could have considered the fact of whether Donald Trump committed an insurrection, but they chose not to.
The supreme Court decree that Trump must be on the ballot in Every State.
A Colorado State District Court determined that the former President Trump had “engaged in insurrection” within the meaning of the 14th Amendment, Section 3. The Colorado State Supreme Court concurred that the District Court did not err in concluding that those events constituted an “insurrection” and that former President Trump “engaged in” that insurrection. They determined that Trump could not be on the ballot because he was disqualified from being President by the 14th Amendment.
The supreme Court of the United States chose not to rule on whether Trump had engaged in an insurrection. Instead, they failed in their duty and to obscure their disloyalty to the Republic and to God, they engaged in thirteen pages of sophistry.
Read it for yourself, the supreme Court ruling claims that removing Trump from the ballot in Colorado would bias the election.
But in a Presidential election “the impact of the votes cast in each State is affected by the votes cast”— or, in this case, the votes not allowed to be cast—“for the various candidates in other States.”
The truth is that, in practice, this patchwork ballot is already in place. In the 2020 election there were 28 candidates listed by name on the ballot in at least one state, but only 3 were listed by name on the ballot in every state. Of course, the Republican Party that currently controls the supreme Court was only concerned that their candidate wouldn’t be on the ballot in every state, the other 28 candidates were irrelevant to the supreme Court. And, the whole truth is that this argument is no part of the supreme Law of the Land.
The supreme Court ruling claims that since Congress can remove the Article 3 disbarment from public office with a 2/3 vote of each House that means only Congress can invoke Article 3.
The text of Section 3 reinforces these conclusions. Its final sentence empowers Congress to “remove” any Section 3 “disability” by a two-thirds vote of each house. The text imposes no limits on that power, and Congress may exercise it any time, as the respondents concede.
The truth is, they are inserting words that do not exist into the Constitution, into the supreme Law of the Land, legislating in direct violation of Article 1.
They use the timeless excuse, because everyone else is doing it, given by Senator Trumbull over 150 years ago as precedent. Again, this is no part of the supreme Law of the Land.
Congress’s Section 5 power is critical when it comes to Section 3. Indeed, during a debate on enforcement legislation less than a year after ratification, Sen. Trumbull noted that “notwithstanding [Section 3] . . . hundreds of men [were] holding office” in violation of its terms..
They then refer to the Enforcement Act of 1870, that along with the Enforcement Act of 1871 are commonly known as the Ku Klux Klan Acts.
The enforcement mechanism Trumbull championed was later enacted as part of the Enforcement Act of 1870, “pursuant to the power conferred by §5 of the [Fourteenth] Amendment.”
The Ku Klux Klan Acts did include explicitly allowing the use of federal troops against the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan in order to enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments. And, they also included enforcement of Section 3 allowing federal prosecutors to remove people that were disqualified by participating in an insurrection or rebellion against the United States. This was only required because State officials were not enforcing the supreme Law of the Land.
The whole truth would have included that six years later, the supreme Court of 1876 decided to defy Congress as well as the Constitution. In the United States v. Cruikshank case, they decided the 14th Amendment only applied to State actions and could not be used to prosecute the members of the Ku Klux Klan that had participated in the Colfax Massacre. The whole truth is that the supreme Court of 1876 violated the Constitution, and nullified the Enforcement Acts. The justices of the supreme Court ended Reconstruction and ushered in Jim Crow by judicial decree.
Most importantly, their argument, then and now, about Section 5 is a lie. The truth about Section 5 of the 14th Amendment is that it is simply a restatement of the last clause of Article 1, Section 8. My fellow American citizens, this point is very important, it is essential that everyone understands it, so please be patient and stay with me, it’s actually quite simple.
Read it for yourself, The last clause of Article I, Section 8 states,
The Congress shall have Power To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States,
Now for the simple logic.
If you replace “To make all Laws, which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution” with the synonymous “to enforce, by appropriate legislation,” the meaning of the action does not change, you just have different words with the same meaning.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States,
Now if you change the target of the sentence “the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States” to “the provisions of this article,” you have exactly Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article,
Section 5 says exactly the same thing about the 14th Amendment that Article I, Section 8 already said about the entire Constitution. The supreme Court absurdity that the 14th Amendment is null and void without enforcement legislation would mean Article 1, Section 8 requires that every component of the Constitution be written into federal law before it can be enforced.
This argument would nullify Article VI, making the entire Constitution just irrelevant words on paper. The supreme Court justices decide what rights you have and they change their mind whenever it suits them. In fact, they have made themselves King of America. Former President and Constitutional Law Professor, where are you?
In spite of Article I and Article VI, the supreme Court feels free to legislate by decree whenever it suits them. It was certainly true in 1876, and it is still true 150 years later in 2024. The supreme Court calls it Judicial Review and Precedent, neither of which is mentioned in the Constitution.
The whole truth is that the supreme Court is bound by the supreme Law of the Land, not precedent. The 13 page explanation to their decision rests entirely on other supreme Court decisions. The justices of the supreme Court violate their oaths to the Constitution before God, using lies based on other lies, legislating by decree.
The Constitutional requirements of Congress on (or about) January 6, 2025
Chief Justice Roberts along with all the other justices of the supreme Court, and all the Senators and all members of the House of Representatives pledge this oath to support and defend the Constitution before they are allowed to assume office.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Any one of the Senators or Representatives that does not object in writing to Trump’s electoral votes and allows him to become President, even though he committed an insurrection in violation of the Constitution, will be violating their oath before God to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Yes, Donald Trump won the election but that is irrelevant.
Donald Trump does not meet the requirements to be President of the United States. This is the last opportunity for the members of Congress to stand up for the Republic and honor their oath before God. If at least 20 of our Senators and 87 of our Representatives are honest people, a vote will be held in the Senate and House of Representatives concerning the validity of Trump’s electoral votes. Should the vote be held, if 51 Senators and 218 Representatives are honest people, they will hold Donald Trump accountable.
On, or about, January 6, the fourth anniversary of Trump’s infidelity to the Constitution he pledged to support, we shall see exactly what the oath of office means to our elected officials. We shall see, and the world will see, how many of our United States Senators and Representatives are honest people, people of honor, people that we can trust. Their duty to our Republic may be difficult, but it is very clear.
Donald Trump does not meet the qualifications required by the Constitution, the supreme Law of the Land, to be President of the United States. And, that will be the only thing that matters on January 6, 2025. We already know that the duplicitous John Roberts, the man that led the supreme Court in violating the Constitution to keep Trump on the ballot in every state, will have no reservations about swearing in the man that lied to him eight year ago.
Should Congress prove unfaithful to the Constitution, the American people, and to God, Chief Justice John Roberts plans to swear Donald Trump in as President of the United States on January 20, 2025. Even though Trump violated the oath he gave the last time the he swore him in as President. The Chief Justice of the supreme Court of the United States has no honor, and no shame, he will act as if he actually believes Donald Trump.
And, all attending the mock ceremony will pretend that it actually means something, that they are actually honorable defenders of the Constitution of the United States of America. Should this come to pass, regardless of the events of the next four years, the day, the supreme Court, and the Congress that failed America, will live in infamy and stain our American legacy forever.
