Dear
protectionist
As a fellow Constitutionalist I agree with you
when you are talking about POLITICAL RELIGIONS.
Because "Islam" is used to mean different things, the language would
have to be SPECIFIC in complaining and barring POLITICAL RELIGION.
Otherwise there are legal complications if terms are OVERLY BROAD
(and any lawyer with knowledge of the system could get that THROWN OUT).
You and I AGREE that POLITICAL RELIGIONS should be kept out of govt.
So let's stay SPECIFIC and CLEAR so there is no room
to throw out arguments because of "technical errors."
And YES I am asking to WORK WITH YOU to SET UP A COALITION
to get POLITICAL RELIGIONS BELIEFS and CREEDS BARRED FROM GOVT.
protectionist: Which Congressional, State, District or Party leaders do you
most closely connect with? May I please work with you, and any other leaders
you would bring together on this, so we can CRAFT AND DRAFT A RESOLUTION. I'd like to use it to present to and unite leaders of various parties.
There is no need to craft resolution(s). The resolution to criminalize Islam's supremacism over the Constitution was already crafted over 200 years ago by our founding fathers. it is Article 6, Section 2, part 1 of the Constitution (aka
"the Superemacy Clause") It is the strongest part of the entire Constitution. Unlike other parts such as the 1st Amendment (which has numerous exceptions), the Supremacy Clause has NEVER had a single exception to it, in over 200 years.
Of course not. Because if anything was allowed to be an exception to the Supremacy Clause, the Constitution would no longer be Supreme. If an exception had been made for Islam, then Islam could claim supremacy over everything in America, and it would rule the country (as it seeks to do 24/7).
But thankfully, our founding fathers wrote it into the Constitution that the Constitution and laws of the USA, are the
"supreme law of the land"
The only problem with all this is that, this doctrine (like much immigration law these days) is NOT ENFORCED. If it were enforced (as it should be) there would not be a single mosque, Koran, or Islamic center in America, anywhere.
I appreciate your insight. Too bad so many posters in this thread are not up to your level and mine.
Yes
protectionist
Part of the problem of WHY people are pushing political religions/beliefs into Govt
is we/they DON'T have an AGREED UNDERSTANDING and committed RESOLUTION
AGAINST pushing political beliefs in Govt but ENFORCING Constitutional limits.
Even our Govt and Party Leaders are pushing Unconstitutional policies
by lobbying and promising to ESTABLISH THEIR PARTY BELIEFS THROUGH GOVT.
That practice in itself SHOULD be denounced as fraudulent, misrepresentation of terms/laws,
and/or "conspiracy to violate civil rights" of citizens whose beliefs would be infringed upon,
discriminated against, violated or penalized.
Obviously
protectionist we DON'T have a public agreement on this principle.
And we NEED one.
My friends with both the Constitution Party and some Libertarians/independent Greens
want to "decentralize" and quit pushing so much controls through federal govt.
You can bet that's why these individuals end up fighting battles alone and
get alienated by their own parties that want to keep pushing beliefs through govt.
I say we draft and promote a resolution on POLITICAL BELIEFS
and call for a Constitutional conference with just Party leaders and members
WHO AGREE to enforce Constitutional laws and limits that would
PRECLUDE this pattern of pushing political beliefs through govt by partisan collusion.
Yes it's already in the Constitution and should ALREADY be enforced. Agree!
But in order to get more people on the same page with ENFORCING existing laws,
we should start with a RESOLUTION signed by complainants of different PARTIES
so that we BRING THESE GRIEVANCES and CORRECTIONS to the corrupt,
abusive leaders and members who are using their collective organizations
to VIOLATE Constitutional laws and principles as you and I have both listed out.
Thank you
protectionist
Whatever group(s) you are with, I would like to work
from there, and ask other groups to join in as well.
We can petition to the public and party leaders/members/donors/supporters
to ENFORCE the Constitutional laws as cited, and QUIT imposing
Political Religions, Beliefs and Creeds above the law of the land that otherwise
protects all people equally regardless of creed from discrimination or establishment.
