“We must restore constitutional government”
Such is the ignorant nonsense of the TPM and others on the ridiculous right.
The United States is currently functioning under Constitutional government, nothing needs to be ‘restored’ – the notion is moronic, baseless idiocy.
The Federal government is functioning as intended by the Founding Generation: a Constitutional Republic whose citizens are subject solely to the rule of law, not men – as men are incapable of ruling justly.
A Federal government afforded by the Constitution powers both expressed and implied (McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)).
A Federal government whose laws are supreme, where the Supreme Court determines what the Constitution means, as authorized by the doctrine of Judicial Review and Articles III and VI of the Constitution, and where rulings by the Supreme Court become the law of the land, binding on the states and local jurisdictions, who have no ‘right’ to ‘nullify’ or ‘ignore’ Federal law or the rulings of Federal courts (Cooper v. Aaron (1958)).
That conservatives, libertarians, and members of the TPM disagree with Supreme Court decisions because those rulings might conflict with errant, wrongheaded conservative dogma is of no consequence and devoid of merit.
So wiretapping without a warrant is "constitutional" in your mind?
Proof that CCJ has no idea what the Constitution is and that he's obviously never read it.
It's not just a matter of "not reading" but NOT INTERPRETING Constitutional laws and limits the same way. That's like expecting an ATHEIST and a CHRISTIAN to interpret and follow the Bible the same way!
These left and right approaches to Govt are like TWO DIFFERENT POLITICAL RELIGIONS.
The major PROBLEM going on is that it Contradicts the Constitution
for Govt to COMPEL people to follow beliefs they don't choose freely.
And Constitutionalism, Conservatism and Liberalism have become their own political religions.
We have NEVER had a Court ruling or Constitutional Convention
that ADDRESSES POLITICAL BELIEFS as RELIGIONS.
So in the meantime
C_Clayton_Jones and

BOTH parties, their leaders and members, continue to fight for
their OWN Political Religious beliefs which the Govt under
the Constitution is not supposed to Prohibit or Establish.
Both parties are too busy trying to Establish their own Beliefs
while Prohibiting the other groups by voting out or overruling their voices, votes and representation in Govt.
So to answer both of you, this bullying by RELIGION is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Until we address that, we have govt and corporate abuses.
We are caught in the game where the bigger bully with the bigger pocket books
is who pays to get their way by trying to get their candidates or their legislation passed
by cutting out the others opposed. That is "taxation without representation" or TYRANNY.
Because we haven't agreed how to handle Political Religions, Beliefs and Parties
that have hijacked and abused the democratic system playing politics for money and power.
