Not Theirs to Give

Not Theirs to Giveby Brian Farmer The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune... Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood. – President Grover Cleveland, vetoing a congressional appropriation of $10,000 to buy seed grain for drought-stricken Texans Every month, my mother passes on to me the magazine and…

Enumeration is for Government

Riley J. Hood, Chairman - Milwaukee County Constitution Party “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” II Corinthians 3:17 Ever since I came active in politics, I have repeatedly encountered the dangerous view that our Rights are “enumerated” and come from the Constitution. Such a view is unconstitutional. The Constitution limits and enumerates the powers of the Federal Government. Examples would be “Congress shall make no law...” from the 1st Amendment, and the phrase, “shall not be infringed.” from the 2nd Amendment. Enumeration and limitation on Federal power is what secures…

Congressional Control Over SCOTUS

Riley J. Hood – Chairman, Milwaukee County Constitution Party “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest of men are exalted.” Psalm 12:8 It is past time for Congress to assume responsibility and do their jobs.

The Constitution says regarding jurisdiction (Article 3, Section 3, Clause 2) “In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction both as to law and fact, with such Exceptions and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.” Note that…

“It’s Just a Stupid Cake!”  Fine, Design It Yourself Then! 13th AmendmentLaw

“It’s Just a Stupid Cake!”  Fine, Design It Yourself Then!

Last December, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) heard opening remarks on a case of Colorado baker Jack Phillips who back in 2012 refused to create a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.  The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. According to the Reuters© article, SCOTUS will be deciding “whether Phillips action was constitutionally protected and he can avoid punishment for violating Colorado’s anti-discrimination law.” The case will be decided next June. Let’s focus on the far more dangerous nonsense that has been foisted on the American people, that a state-created civil rights commission can override the 1st…
