For someone who SUPPOSEDLY graduated law school, passed the BARR, and PRACTICED law in multiple ways, she has NO CLUE what the Constitution says. She is onevof those who tries to say that the Constitution is a "living, breathing" thing. IT IS NOT. As has been so rightfully said before, the Constitution says what it says, and it doesn't say what it doesn't.
I find this whole current Administration to be in blatant violation of our Constitution, on every level and every Article.
I watched with revulsion the "planting" of the memorial tree marking 365 days since Hamas literally floated into the middle of a Jewish festival to murder, rape, and kidnap unarmed Israelis.......this SHOW of commemoration for the sake of optics while people in the Tennessee Valley are left to die and people in Florida are bracing for a second catastrophe in less than 2 weeks. Constitution? Oh. That. Right. 🤬
Part of the problem with voting is many people are “single issue” voters. Much to the dismay of many here, as well as myself. No candidate is perfect. I’ll say it again. No candidate is perfect. We,as voters, must make a decision based on the whole ideology of the candidate, of many issues. Just basing your vote solely on abortion policy or gun policy is folly, in my humble opinion. Even Reagan, as awesome as he was, put his thumb on the scale in the ATC strike in the 80’s. To this day, I believe it is a major reason democrats believe republicans are totally against unions. It is not so, obviously. But the major unions vote like it is. Any way, it is so obvious which candidate is for maximum tyranny and anti constitution. Preaching to the choir, I know. Orange man is nowhere near as bad as left wing pundits and legacy media would have us believe. He has a proven record. Not stellar, but light years better than where we are now. Peace.
Part of the problem is also that the founding fathers really only expected the people to vote for representatives, not president or senators. This paragraph penned by James Madison in the Federalist No. 45 shows just how far we've sadly wandered from original intent:
"The state governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the federal government; whilst the latter is no wise essential to the operation or organisation of the former. Without the intervention of the state legislatures, the president of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will perhaps in most cases of themselves determine it. The senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the state legislatures. Even the house of representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the state legislatures. Thus each of the principal branches of the federal government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the state governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious, than too overbearing towards them. On the other side, the component parts of the state governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the federal government, and very little if at all, to the local influence of its members."
It's been a longtime since any President, let alone Congress, has upheld that oath and actually upheld the Constitution. Instead, we have an administrative state that rivals the ChiComs on every level. And now both houses of Congress (Yes Virginia, there are 2) are pushing heavily for digital ID for every American, all in the name of economic and national security. So much for the 4th and 5th Amendments!
I've said for a long time, if the individual does not stand, the masses will follow whatever charismatic voice "tickles their ear." And this is why I've said we have to rebuild from the ground up. It starts at your local level and on up from there. And it is a mess everywhere with the federal government at the helm of the federal trough.
The federal government has grown far beyond what was ever imagined or intended, especially with all of its spending. I plan on writing more (as usual) about it, but let me share here something about using tax money to send to foreign countries. This is from Joseph Story, an Associate Supreme Court Justice from 1812-1845, who is considered one of the foremost constitutional scholars in American history:
"§157. The power of taxation is not, however, unlimited in its character. The taxes levied must be (as we have seen) either to pay the public debts, or to provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States. They cannot be levied solely for foreign purposes, or in an aid of foreign nations, or for purposes not national in their objects or character."

I'm not sure Kamala Harris knows what the constitution is!

They couldn’t anticipate every scenario, but their brilliance and forethought laid out an amazingly effective plan…when followed…
What they failed to foresee was how quickly and easily those who rose to office would become corrupted with power-lust and greed.

Precisely. I wrote once about those in government honoring their oaths of office: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/i-do-solemnly-swearso-help-me-god?r=xb9l8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I may need to address that point once again.
