The move was implementO L 3 to sway Latino voters [2] into the Obama camp in preparation for the upcoming election against fellow establishment candidate Mitt Romney. :=D Obama's Obama's violations of law and the Constitution make his predecessor look like piker by way of comparison. Since he was voted into office by deluded citizens who believed he would pay for their rent and food, Obama has enacted by fiat or worked with Congress to pass a number of bills that have increased the power of the executive and the unconstitutional authority of the federal government. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) This monstrous statute allows the government to circumvent the Fifth Amendment. The NDAA gives the government the authority to designate American citizens as terrorists and indefinitely detain them without recourse to courts or due process of law and without specific charge. "Permit me to state the obvious," writes Sheldon Richman [3]. "The government shouldn't be allowed to imprison people indefinitely without charge or trial. It shouldn't be necessary to say this nearly 800 years after Magna Carta was signed and over 200 years after the Fifth Amendment was ratified." Chapter 39 of the Magna Carta [4] states that "[n]o free man shall be taken or imprisoned or disseized or exiled or in any way destroyed, nor will we go upon him nor send upon him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land." The concept of due process first appeared in English common law in 1354 and inspired the Fifth Amendment more than 400 years later. The time honored principle that the state must try citizens in a court of law is now dead - and with surprisingly little resistance from our supposed representatives. Unconstitutional wars Not only did Obama continue and amplify Bush's unconstitutional, illegal and immoral wars against nations that did not present a danger to the United States, he also initiated an overt war of his own in Libya (under NATO cover). He did not Comm. Mr9. 1!o 'S Ref.To: t C.i Ref. Date JUN 1 9 2012 7 go to Congress and seek a declaration as required under Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution [5]. Instead, he used the fig leaf of the United Nations to cover his illegal action. In May, the Secretary of War, Leon Panetta [6], said Obama will "seek international permission" to launch new wars." He declared the "commander in chief has the authority to take action that involves the vital interests of this country" without consulting the American people. In March, Rep. Walter Jones [7], a North Carolina Republican, introduced H. Concurrent Resolution 107, which calls on the House, the Senate Concurring, to prevent Obama from starting another war without authorization from Congress. It has since languished in committee. Obamacare Obama's health care mandate forcing Americans to buy insurance from large monopolistic corporations represents the height of his arrogance and contempt for the American people and the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution is known as the Commerce Clause. It states that "Congress shall have the power... to regulate commerce with foreign nations, among the several states and with the Indian tribes." It does not permit the government to force you to buy insurance from a government preferred and protected monopoly. In Federalist No. 45, James Madison [8] wrote that the clause spells out that the powers delegated to the federal government are "few and defined," while those left to the states "are numerous and indefinite," although you wouldn't know that if you listen to Democrats and far too many of their Republican colleagues. The original intent of the Commerce Clause was to facilitate commerce between the states and prevent tariffs, quotas and taxes. It was not designed to help a lumbering and dictatorial federal government force "mandates" on the people at gunpoint. • Advertisement • Our supposed representatives are wholly ignorant of the Constitution and its unmistakable principles of limited government intervention. Rep. Nancy Pelosi [9] made this clear when she was asked if the Constitution grants Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate. "Are you serious?" she responded, demonstrating her complete ignorance of the Constitution. Following legal challenges to the law and its consideration before the highest [10 court, Obama threatened to cut off Medicare payments ] if the Supreme Court does not rule in his favor. Treaties Obama has shown his contempt for the law, Congress, and the people by negotiating globalist treaties. He would subvert the American judicial process by implementing the International Criminal Court. It will ultimately be used against American citizens. Professor Charles Rice [11] of Notre Dame University Law School has stated that we will be confronted by "a monster" that effectively "repudiates the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence." The Law of the Sea Treaty will create another international bureaucracy that will limit the sovereignty of the United States and impose globalist regulations. "The autonomy of the United States is threatened if we allow our domestic laws to be crafted by an international body that is not accountable to the American people," writes Julie Borowski [12]. "The U.N. is openly hostile to our national sovereignty and republican form of government. The ratification of LOST [Law of the Sea Treaty] would open up a Pandora's Box of problems. It would impose global taxes and regulations that cripple economic growth while exposing ourselves to high- stakes environmental lawsuits." The Small Arms Treaty [13] would circumvent the Second Amendment, the cornerstone of the Bill of Rights. If ratified, it will impose even tougher licensing requirements, confiscate and destroy all "unauthorized" civilian firearms, ban semiautomatic weapons, create an international gun registry, and override our cherished national sovereignty. Startling details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership [14] were revealed earlier this week in a leaked document. This treaty would allow transnational corporations to skirt American banking, investment, environmental and labor laws. The laws would still apply to corporations based in the United States, however. "The leaked document shows that in all of the major respects, this is exactly the same template that was used in NAFTA and other agreements that President Obama campaigned against,"Todd Tucker [15], the research director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch division, told Slate. Flurry of Executive Orders Although he lied and said he would not issue executive orders, Obama has signed a large number [16] of them: Council of Governors. "An Obama executive order that creates a council of state governors who will work with the feds to expand military involvement in domestic security, together with PDD 51, a Bush era executive order that gives the President dictatorial power in times of national emergency, eliminate the last roadblocks to declaring martial law in the United States," Paul Joseph Watson [17] summarized in January of 2010. National Defense Resources Preparedness: This EO, signed in March of 2012, renews and updates Obama's authority to seize control of all civil energy supplies, including oil and natural gas, and control and restrict all civil transportation. It essentially reaffirms a large number of FEMA-related executive orders [18] issued since the national security state was installed in 1947 and is another element in an intricate structure that will enable martial law at the president's discretion. Less significant - although equally unconstitutional - executive orders include creating a council on bioethics, implementing a policy on space exploration, creating a mathematics advisory panel, and numerous other issues that should be addressed by Congress. Advanced Effort to Kill the Constitution From the Department of Justice's high-handed attempt to prevent Arizona from protecting its borders to restrictive EPA rules that impose unreasonably burdensome financial costs on the states, Obama's federal government has turned into a tyrannical leviathan dictating policy and law at gunpoint. Since the reign of Bush, the federal government has shifted into high gear the effort to degrade and dilute the separation of powers. Obama was installed precisely to oversee the further destruction of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and empower the imperial presidency. His latest move to further weaken the immigration laws of the United States is simply more evidence that the federal government will continue to run roughshod over the Constitution and the natural rights of the American people, an incremental plan implemented by the elite that is now approaching its zenith.
